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?

New ones are white, but also have bronze, blue and black. I've just discovered ones with red lips over them and I want them [stamps feet]

I like these Fitflops

I've got some lovely Madrid Papillio stripy ones this season which I love and go with everything as they have lots of colours in them. Plus navy, white and chocolate brown.

Silver, you say?

Silver, you say? Off to trawl ebay

oops. got carried away.

I like these too

And these, I'm embarrassingly partial to a bit of flipflop bling

I prefer the funkier coloured birkies

I want black patent ones. T J Hughes had them for £20 but have none now online. Don't live anywhere near a Hughes either.

Oh I REALLY like these

I read the sizing info on birkenstock.co.uk, and I think my Birks (I nearly typed Bricks then by accident, which might actually describe them better) are the right fit. But UGH, they're fugly.

I've worn them in the garden now so I can't take them back, so I'm vaguely thinking of customising them! Would that be a bad idea? I thought I could paint them with acrylic paint... Like zebra stripes or summink... Or stick crystals on. Is that madness?

Really, they couldn't look worse than they do now. They are SO unglamorous, it's depressing me. The gold isn't lovely, bright gold, it's a dull, vaguely metallic beige. I look like a robotic vegan.

Figment I am liking that website! And they do international delivery! Thank you. I love the second pair you linked to.

I've had silver every year for a while now. I love them. They go with everything.

I have silver, pink, paisley pattern and
black patent

Black and white Madrids and white and pink Gizehs here. Am considering Fitflops this year though. Are they comfy to walk in? I'm finding my Madrids a bit of a struggle this year.

Have my first pair of Birkis - they are red patterned Papillo ones - love them and a bargain at £10 bought virtually brand new off ebay in the depths of winter.

Always thought they were for aging hippies but I then noticed that the women I consider stylish were wearing them...

Thanks for the TKMaxx tip
Am now proud owner of a purple patent pair for £20

bronze so comfy

ok so in tk max do they only have madrids or various?

Finally went for the silver, £26 delivered from ebay, thanks all.

Pale green and a purply-pink. I want silver ones now after reading this thread! Must get to TKMaxx

TK Maxx Cheltenham had Madrids and also the ones with 2 straps.

They had lots of mens Birks too, they were £24.99, so still a fab price.

i went in today they were all size 7 and 8 - huge!
