Birkies Betula Strappy Sandal.

Four colours - gold, silver, pink & anthracite.

 

[Turandot]

These look very pretty,I live in my Betula flip flops, and have 2 pairs of Arizona style so may not need them.I will tune in though to see if I can be tempted.

 

[Ellaaa]

Ooh I quite like those.

Like Turnodot I have a pair of Betula flip flops and then are the comfiest 'shoes' ever. I like the Betula styles as they're a bit narrower so are a bit more feminine, imo. (Well as feminine as Birkis can get)

 

[grovesy]

I quite like the style but I wonder if they are a made for QVC?

Looking on website I notice that a fair few of the stock items are well over 100 squid. Now IMO that's way too much for a sandal which by no stretch of the imagination (despite presenters saying we can wear them to board meetings) is dressy.

 

[Turandot]

I like Birkis but I always think of them as casual and couldn't wear them to work .There are also health and safety considerations,not that I am a stickler for that ,it's just that I often go into other people's homes and you never know what you are going to find over the floor ! I agree they are not for the board room.

 

[Snowstorm]

These almost look feminine. I am interested. Depends on price though!

 

[Whatsgoinon?]

Quite like the look of the Spring Summer Papillio wedges and heels on their German site...wonder if we'll get them over here :wonder: Doubt it!

Shame, because they look better than the normal dead flat ones, which I adore, but nice to have a change.

No more clod hoppers for me, though these look a little less clumpy

 

[Tinkerbelle]

Anyone know when this one might reappear?

 

[Bettyboo]

Birkenstock got a glowing review in the Sunday Times Style magazine but some of them were way over £100. Seemingly they are now quite a top fashion accessory.

 

[nicnac]

So finally i'm fashionable then! :mysmilie_8:

 

[donna255]

Birkenstocks became very in years back, lots of celeb papped wearing them. I remember the early days on QVC they use to name drop who wore which style. Gwennie was one, others as well.

 

[Akimbo]

I had to get my people to prevent Q from dropping my name though! :mysmilie_13: Love my Birkis but don't need the publicity! :mysmilie_19:

Hi Jennyrobo, don't think I've said hello since you started posting :wave:

There's a two strap pair for £24 on the Original Factory Shop site which has sold out in sizes 3 and 4 but might be available in their high street shops; 5, 6, and 7 are still available online though: http://www.theoriginalfactoryshop.co.uk/birkenstock-black-two-strap-sandals.aspx

Me too ...hi Jennyrob......I used to love my birkies but one day they rubbed my feet really badly and I couldn't wear them anymore :0( ....I like them though ..

 

[May]

Sorry Jennyrobo;0)

 

[donna255]

I used to have problems with the arch of my foot, they seemed to rub there.

Now I do wear the clogs, love them to death and use instead of slippers. First pair bought as a TSV from QVC well over ten years ago fell apart last year. Now have a pair of limited edition no less real leather uppers bought on ebay for £27 brand new!!! :mysmilie_59: They use memory foam in the footbed now which is more comfortable.

 

[candycane]

Betulas don't fit me - too narrow in the foot - so my money is safe. As an aside, I bought some FAB adult Disney birkenstocks off ebay from Germany for about £30 a pair. To die for if you like tat shoes LOL.
