Birkenstocks

[jeya]

where can i get a pair like these, with only one strap, for under 50 bucks? (they don't have to be brand-name or anything)

Now the Gizeh comes in all of these pastel colors! summery/breezy/pretty colors are NOT ME, but they're very cute, and someone will love them...

I have white madrids and one pair of plaited betula thongs..
They're quite comfy to walk in for about 3-4 hours then my feet starts to hurt! Their shape is good for my wide feet though. I find the thongs more comfy than the madrids.

should i go for the black glossy or the black patent? i've been trying to decide for ages... i'd like to have the silver ones, but they're a little too trendy... i want to be able to wear these longer than 3 months...

I like how the patent ones are a bit 'different'...I like them both though.

They were selling birkenstocks on qvc the other day....I watched the whole hour

I'd go for the black patent. There's something about the glossy that I don't like.

that's what i had thought, but i still can't put my finger on it... thanks for the second opinion..

oh birks are so sweet...i dont wear them to be hippyish, though lately i have been boho anyway.

where i first got them, in southern germany, they are more of a culture thing than a trend. i dont know how to explain it. they are used as walking shoes and everything shoes. everybody has them there.

and they are quite comfortable.

^^ i get what you're trying to say. i don't think birkenstocks have ever really been a trend anyway. they're just super cute, at least the new ones are. i really wanted one of the older, original birkenstocks, but i never got around to getting one. and now that i don't use leather or suede or whaveters... it seems highly unlikely that i'll ever get one. darn it.

<3 me.

Actually the Boston clogs have somewhat been a trend, but I wear them for comfort for sure, and the boston clogs do look quite good with certain things. I heard that in Germany you can get them for super cheap, is that right?

 

[fireatwill]

i have no idea.. i live in hawai'i. way far from germany. hah.

kthnx.
<3 me.

Wow, this is an old thread! I just wanted to know whether you still like Birkenstocks or not. Here in Germany they still aren't popular, but nevertheless I just bought my first pair since childhood.

If you still wear them: How do you combine your Birkis? I think they are quite versatile, but I'll mainly wear them with jeans. I'd love to see pictures of your outfits!

I wear Birkenstocks at home, they are babyblue with a butterfly-print on them
Don't like them on the street, though, but if I had to wear them I'd wear them in a casual way: boyfriend jeans and a nice, loose t-shirt.
Which ones did you buy?

 

[brini]

I bought these on Ebay:

[shoebuy.com]

Actually I wanted them in silver, but they didn't have them in my size.

 

[laurette]

^ hi brini, I didn't notice it was you up until now (although I should've known earlier, your avatar looked familiar to me)
the ones you bought are fine imo, not the "typical" Birkenstocks.
They suit your style

 

[brini]

I recognized your nickname, but I wasn't sure if it was really you. I think kathl is here, too!

On topic: I've seen some StyleDiary users with Birkenstocks who mainly mixed them with slim pants or jeans and a fun top or blouse. That's a laid back style that I like.
