Just impulse ordered these Birks - Fab or Fail?

The finish is called shiny snake. I really can't resist anything iridescent, it's my 90s clubber origins coming out. They're "low in stock" at ASOS and that was enough to make my finger twitch in PayPal's direction.

But are they.....not good? Tell me honestly!

Fail. Awful. But then I think Saltwater sandals are hideous too and I feel quite alone in that thought on MN Confused

Jenda · 15/06/2017 00:24

I'm not a birks fan but I do like the snake! However I have silver glitter trainers so wouldn't rate my taste highly!

LoupGarou · 15/06/2017 00:27

I love them and I don't usually like Birkenstocks. I also cannot resist iridescent Blush

PitilessYank · 15/06/2017 00:32

Any Birkenstock sandal is a good Birkenstock sandal, in my opinion.

Bagsonthebrain · 15/06/2017 00:33

I already own iridescent silver ones.....it's a sickness!

Only buy Birks for comfort, never fashion.

ChesterFuckingDraws · 15/06/2017 00:40

The colour/pattern is lovely, I dont like the style though. Much prefer the toepost version.

Squashit · 15/06/2017 01:01

I have them and gave them their first airing today. They are gorgeous. The ones I have are narrow fit and the upper is birko-flor so they are not tough to break in.

They are very eye catching.

BusterGonad · 15/06/2017 06:04

I don't like Birks but they are the best of a bad bunch! 😂

Bagsonthebrain · 15/06/2017 07:21

Uh oh, I never thought of the fit. Squashit did you have yours on ASOS? If they're narrow fit they'll have to go back.

Oh they are fab. I had nail polish like that in 1998 :)

BusterGonad · 15/06/2017 07:37

Yes Op, you need to team them up with some matching polish. I think I had some like that too.

BusterGonad · 15/06/2017 07:42

I don't know where you buy this brand but Op you need it!!!

KoalaDownUnder · 15/06/2017 07:43

I vote fab!

Bagsonthebrain · 15/06/2017 07:49

I have about 5 nail polishes like that! Blush

Those Birks are definitely for you then Op! Grin

KoalaDownUnder · 15/06/2017 07:54

Do you tan in summer? I reckon tanned feet and that nail polish of Busters would look amazing.

Maudlinmaud · 15/06/2017 07:56

Op I have a rose gold glittery pair. I too am a 90s chick and can't resist anything shiny/sparkly. I have improved slightly over the years. Buy the Birks.

Bagsonthebrain · 15/06/2017 07:59

No, pasty white so I tend to only put it on my fingers as I get a bad case of Goth Foot with dark polish on my toes! Not attractive.....

Maudlinmaud · 15/06/2017 08:01

You need some fake tan and a mit. It will change your life.

KoalaDownUnder · 15/06/2017 08:04

Op I have a rose gold glittery pair.

Sleepthief · 15/06/2017 09:14

Unquestionably fab! I have them 😎 If they're the Asos ones they are narrow fit. I just bought my usual size, though (I normally size down for Birkenstocks) and they're fine - and I have very wide feet...

Bagsonthebrain · 15/06/2017 09:22

Shit. The photos on the site don't show the little symbol on the footbed. I have wide feet. I just checked my other pairs and they're normal fitting.

Gah!

But it's a thumbs up on the snakeskin? If they're not too tight they can stay?
