very very comfy shoes. great for trudging round everywhere. but i think the cork is fallling out the sides. so what shoul di replace with?
heard lots about crocs, but the fact that they are made of plastic worries me. i like the natural materials better as i feel feet can breath in them
footglove, [yuck]. do not like the look of them.
any advice please.

get another pair of birks!

ther is always that, just thought of a change in style. ive lost lots of weight recently and look younger than before. so though maybe there is something out there, 'younger'
does that make sense?

crocs Supremely comfy and go with anything no matter what others say I LOVE THEM!

expatinscotland · 16/04/2007 23:32

Croc's!

I can highly recommend the Mary Jane-style ones.

They're comfortable and stylish.

Spidermama · 16/04/2007 23:33

Yup. Get more Birks. Crocs are very conspicuous. I'm impressed your Birks have fallen apart. Mine have to be discarded on aromatic grounds before they get the chance to fall apart.

MamaGettingBitey · 16/04/2007 23:34

oh bloody fucking hell

"Hurrah", thought I, "a birkenstocks thread whcih I can rip to shreds with expat"

then i see expat recommending CROCS

FFS

expatinscotland · 16/04/2007 23:34

MamaGettingBitey · 16/04/2007 23:35

expatinscotland · 16/04/2007 23:36

Crocie's are so cute!

I love it when DD1 tells me, 'I want to wear my Crocies.'
