That's it really. Oh and I'm a wide size 4 1/2, will a Birkies size 4 do?

TIA

I have silver gizeh

Not sure on sizing I used to be a 5.5 but after 2 dc's I'm a 6 and they fit fine.

madrids look too much like scholls IMO

I too have silvery gizeh (tried Madrid and did not like them at all). I'm usually a 5 or 5.5 and I easily fit a 37.

yes think a 4 will do - best to try on in a shop if you are ordering online, as i am usually a 38 in all shoes, but am a 37 in birkenstocks ....

evansmummy · 07/06/2010 19:50

Thanks all. Unanimous then! Will go for a 37 I think.

Bugger. The first ones should be in Sand

I like the pale coloured ones.

I was looking at Birkenstocks on Amazon today too.

Went for my yearly pair on Saturday and my local shop is charging €60 for the Papillios and €75 for the leather ones

I dislike the feel of the gizeh. I like my silver madrids.

suiledonne · 07/06/2010 20:05

I love the Gizehs but I have really ugly little toes - I have to hide them from the public! If it weren't for the toe problem silver gizehs would be my ideal summer wear.

I have Madrids that I like and Floridas which are 3 straps. They are very comfy but a bit chunky looking.

Done. Have bought sand coloured Gizehs. Thought that colour would be more versatile than the plae blue ones, even though I liked those more. Thanks for all your input.
