Does anyone know somewhere cheap for birkenstocks?

[used2bthin]

Or a cheaper alternative? I could do with some comfy flip flops that I can walk in, not really long distances but a couple of miles at a time. I wear flip flops all summer and am fine with the between toes bit, its more that I'd like something with a thicker sole.

TIA.

TK Maxx had some at the weekend for £19.99 if that helps?
Havaianas are good too.

Oh thanks Haylstones I will pop in there hadn't thought of them. Are Havianas comfy? They look very flat and thin is it the type of rubber or something?

I don't know what makes them comfy but they are! They're not that thin and are sort of ridged along the bottom so don't go all sticky and yucky.

Oh ok, sounds good! I need to find somewhere in town to try some on I think then order cheaper online.

reef flip flops are very comfy

boincy thick heel

I have awful feet and plantar fasciitis and they suit me

Thanks ggirl I will look them up. I'll end up with a pair of each

something like these

If you have a Costco near you, they are selling cheap Birks at the moment. £17 for Madrids (plain flip flop type), £23 for Gizehs (with toe thong thing. And in all colours.

Thanks for the link ggirl, think I will try on some different types when I can next get to the shops. Minko that sounds great, we haven't got a costco nearby I don't think but I will have a quick google now to check as I have never heard of it so may be wrong.

tk maxx had them in today

also had some of those wooden scholl things - they look very uncomfy

Thanks newgirl, I may be able to get to tk maxx tomorrow.

schuh do cheaper versions of birkies but not as long lasting IME

Amazon had loads cheaper some of the colours of the cheap ones are a bit and ebay but don't buy 2nd hand ones as they need to mould to your feet to be comfortable. Worth every penny IMO, so comfortable.

If there is a Mastershoe shop near you they have all sorts of ethnicy looking shoes and sandals at really good prices

I think Next do good copies.

I bought some birkie madrids on Amazon for £19.99 a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the replies, good to know that they are so comfortable. I am going to have a look in tk maxx tonight. Also for something to wear on my bottom half, jeans with a turn up or something, anything as I am wearing jeans I bought when DD was three months old which are much too big!
