Possibly getting cold feet over new Birkenstocks- are these really fugly?

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

Just as a reminder I am the person who asked if the most horrendous green Hotter sandals were nice

Going on holidays and took the plunge and bought these, mainly because I love purple. Are they fugly? I am not 100% sure.

Yes, but in a trendy way

Most definitely not ugly.

I like them

Yes they are but if they are for walking around in a hot place on holiday it's allowed .
I sympathise re Hotter. I have a pair of red suede pumps which I can't decide if I love or loathe. The main problem is they were bought in Hotter and I know it.

'Trendy fugly' you are on to something there Peanutbuttercups21

Personally I don’t really like them but on the right person they would look great. Wear them, love them and feel good in them, I say!

I like them. I have Arizonas in black and they are very comfy.

Yep I like them, I am a big fan of Birkenstocks.

Love them. I've worn Birkenstocks for years but just bought my first pair of Arizonas.

They seem quite big and wide (and this comes from someone who has hobbit feet). I sized down. I like the feeling of the footbed though.

I don't know whether I look nice in them. I love comfort, and again, the colour is amazing! If they weren't purple they could look like nun's shoes (no offence to any nun's reading).

Drop the apostrophe (face palm)

You will look brilliant in them - so comfy. What colour toenails?

This has been my go to toe nail colour during the summer for a few years. It's a lovely deep blue.

I absolutely love Birkenstocks and live in mine (always get Arizonas). I think they look great AND I love the nail colour - which one is it?

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you noodlezoodle, it's OPI Yoga-ta get this blue.

Fabulous! Thank you Martin (excellent name btw), it's on the shopping list

Birkenstocks are ugly but that’s their charm. They are cute ugly; like pugs or those little trolls with sticky up hair people used to collect!

Go for it. I love love love my birkenstocks. I buy a new pair every year just because I love them so much.

I bought a pair yesterday - Arizonas in dark brown. Didn't mean to, but stepped into them in the shop and they were so comfy I couldn't resist...

You won't care because they are so comfy.

I was behind a woman in a queue yesterday who had Arizona in patent navy and they actually looked naice. I have two pairs both patterned.

I like them OP. You might have converted me to Birkenstocks!

Birkenstocks are like marmite....

I love all of mine and worn them for years all styles, last count have 11 pairs.

Did get a blue metallic pair of Arizona and did not like them at first but must admit I really like them now.

My faves are the Gizeh, have them in 5 different colours, but couple are ready for the bin after about a dozen years. They are great for holidays as well as they are more study unlike fashion sandals, I can and have walked for miles in them.

I like the Zurich which are new, and I even have a pair of Arizona sheepskin lined slippers, soooooo comfy

Oh and must add really like the brown lola low wedge

They are hideous - any of them - and apparently they smell after a while. Not my thing.

Just googled the Lola low wedge Todamhottoday. They are lovely

Rose as I say like marmite, and yes hey can get a bit wiffy after a while (like other shoes) but bicarb and a put in a bag in the freezer gets rid!

And even heard of them being washed at 30dgs in the machine.

Some people have more sweaty feet than others.

Martin I am tempted but will have to wait til back in the UK,
