Anyone wear Birkenstocks?

[hayinamanger]

Just wondering how comfy they are. I tried on a pair in a shop last year but they seemed a bit hard, I prefer cushion type soles. It does seem that EVERYBODY is wearing them. How easy are they to get used to?

I wear them and really like them, but yes the soles are quite hard, but although they're not cushioned your feet fit into the mould which makes them comfy. They do take a bit of getting used to and I tend to wear them for slouching about rather than walking any great distance!

There is an online shop called ishoe who do them at v reasonable prices

Love love love em, they do take a couple of days to get used to, once you have everything else will feel like agony btw this year they have brought out some with cushioning

Love them. Wear them all the time in the summer. Like the ones with the thong don't find the others quite so comfortable.

I have 3 pairs and love them, wear them in the summer and in the house

i wear mine because i have 'flat feet' (roll over onto my ankles kind of) and they have good arch support. i wear mine if i'm going out on holiday and want to wear some sandals... at home i live in my muckers, riding boots and trainers!!

I have had them for years in different colours and styles and love them

If you want something with more cushioning look at the FitFlop range = again I have those and are very comfy
