Birkenstocks

Just wondering what people think of Birkenstocks? Are they comfy? Easy to walk in? Stylish?

I can't decide if I like them or not but need a comfy pair of sandals/shoes I can wear in the summer without sweating to death in and spotted some pink ones whilst out today that vaguely appealed but I wasn't sure.

I know that when it comes down to it this is a decision I should be able to make myself but I've been looking for comfortable summer shoes for so long and have been disappointed too often!

If you feel Birkenstocks are a nay then do you have other suggestiongs?

Many thanks in advance for any help!

    They will be wide enough because you can adjust them, I have wide-ish feet and I have plenty to extend if I wanted to. I say they come up big, I buy the 37's and I usually wear a size 6 (39). try

    Sorry Anna - didn't quite catch that ?

    Does anyone have this style

    http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail/params.item.143300

    are they as comfortable as the traditional toe post ones?

    Incidently I have a pair of cheap copies from Primark and they are fantastic - I've never ever had copies before but these are amazing and were £6

    I have no idea what happened - I posted and then it said there was "an error with my request"

    No Sh*t!

    Ha ha ha! Thanks Anna :-)

    I've gone for it as I can always return them. Size 41 in Patent Plum. Lovely!

    Do spit it out Anna ?

    I love those Hush Puppy ones KB3, in fact I think I might nick off work early and go get some tonight, they're lovely.

    I've never had Birkies before - they feel so uncomfy when you first try them on that it's put me off. Some of the ones linked here are lovely though.

    And RA, I quite like those cloggy ones, especially if they're just for work.

    Right, I have listened to all your Birkenstock thoughts and was won over so I nipped to Costco to buy some.... and they only had bright canary yellow. I thought that was a bit much for a first pair ?

    Went to a local shoeshop and they had an enormous selection, ended up going for the Cozumel in black in a sz 4(37) though i usually take a 5. They are very comfy so far. Wish they had had them in bright pink now! Think my next pair will be one of the madrid pairs in a bright colour.

    I suspect this may become an addiction...
