Birkenstock Madrids - what colour are you wearing this year?

[weepootle]

I need a new pair and always buy the brownish khaki ones but thinking about having some silver ones this year, what are you all having?

Silver. Have the bronzy ones too from last year but have lived in the silver as they go with everything.

also i have 39(6)
am always a 39

then tired on the 38 once had " woen in" the 6s and i think they are too big, the 6s

Finally deciphered Reg's last statement.

Yes you need to go one size down.

does evryone KNOW that?
oh poo

I didn't go one size down! Is that why these look so huge?

for sale
one "worn in" pair of madrids
39
lovely clean feet

Yes I wear 37's thpough I am a 5 (38)

( size thirty bloody nine)

really i didnt know that!! - i got size 6 (am a asix normally) arizona ones yesterday and sent them back today as the ridges all felt in the wrong place and they looked huge - i have now ordered fit flops - have i made a terrible mistake??? I had dark brown ones and just found some stone ones that look nice too - dh will go bonkers if more shoes turn up! is that definite?

SERIOUSLY
they are for sale
have just bought 38s

silver

The most glamourous mum I know swears by fit flops nappyzone so I am tempted to get a pair.

Am still wearing pale pink and liluc birkinstocks (both from 2005 white ones were toxic waste after a hard wearing when I was pregnant.

I am a size 6 or 7 and find the size 39 pretty generous. My feet are v wide though so on a hot day the sides rub too much

oooo thats me glam lol

fit flops are really narrow, you should try them regina - the silver ones are nice and i like the platform aspect. i do not have narrow feet so i can't wear them, neither madrids.

i have gizeh in red patent but the purple is also lovely. silver from last year too still going strong.

I have khaki from last year and new silver ones for this year, which I've worn loads already as they go with everything. Got mine for £20 incl p&p on Amazon in April, there are quite a few cheap madrids on there, have a look. Can't be doing with the patent ones though

I am wearing Purple patent. I also have white patent madrids and black floral floridas and pink floral floridas and light blue gizehs

I have funny rolling heels and need the support they offer.

FWIW I am a 6.5 but wear a 40 in the Birkis. I go for a narrow fit on the madrids. There should be a gap between your foot and the raised footbed at the front and back. I wouldn't say to go down a size.

Mine are a lovely sky blue colour. Also one size down.

dark bronze for me also one size down - but it was obvious - the ones my usual size would have fallen off

i like light blue too

like these too

Mine are purple and they rub.

I'm a size 5 and bought a size 5. Is that why they rub then?

oh and yes siree

ah that explains everything. i've been walking around in pale blue ones a size to big since last year. great. no wonder i look shite

The second pair are nicer.

does anyone have the mayari ones? now im getting in a right cahuffle! here red , bronze, white??? cant decided if that toe loop wpuld hurt my man toes!

I have the Pink Patent this year is the 1st year but wish I had got something more neutral. Very comfy though, no blisters. I am normally a 6.5 in next and got a 39.

Reg How worn in is worn in?! And how much?

Regina, I'm loving those turquoise beady ones! Just what I need.

I've never had Birkies. I have very touchy feet. How long does it take to 'wear in' a pair (or my feet!) and how much does it hurt?

I'd like them in Navy. Does that make me dull?
