Wish they would bring back Birkenstock.

Have you asked on Facebook I don’t think anybody has asked on there

 

[Twilight]

Lookalikes made in Spain, I wonder if they're as robust as Birkenstocks.

 

[Dream Girl]

Wonder if they’ll come on with a Birkenstock cut in half to compare with theirs footbed

There is a brand called Oxygen which are very similar to Birkenstock and leather uppers. I bought a pair of clogs from eBay brand new the other year.

I googled for a comparison and only found a German review. I copied the review for the two strap version into google translate and they said that the foodbed is softer than the Birkenstock cork footbed. The update on the review suggested that "after a long day on your feet or a long and strenuous hike, the soft footbed is a relief. We also feared that the "padding" would quickly show signs of wear, but the BOnova shoes have held up wonderfully so far. So there is currently a recommendation for everyone who is looking for cork sandals with a soft footbed."

Thank you, they're made in Spain for a company in Dusseldorf. I've found their website & love some of the styles.

I preferred the soft footbed in the Birkenstock’s but they were hard to come by and about an extra 15 squid over the non soft bed version.

About 2 years ago I bought a different brand soft bed ones fromTK Max and the quality was as good if not better than B’s I must go and look if there is a brand on them

 

[Brissles]

I'm not a fan of 'clunky' sandals. I saw the presenter of one of those home makeover programmes had 'hiking' sandals on, and flattering they were'nt - looked like diving boots on her feet.

When Q stopped doing Birkis I got them from Germany but they were pricey. My feet love them though. I might have a look at these.

I bought some Birkis once and they absolutely crippled me! I could not get on with them at all.

I luuuurve my Birki’s and they go on for ever. This very day i’ve been wearing a pair i wore constantly while i was preggers with my youngest, and she’ll be 16 next month.

Ditto, as I said in an earlier post. They also made my feet look like boats. If this new brand are similar to Birkies I won’t be watching the shows.

 

[donna255]

Loads of posts wanting Birkenstocks back and not cheap copies.

Anyone looking for Birkenstocks can find some on mandmdirect.com for around £45-70. I have no idea if those are good prices or not because I'm not a Birkenstock fan - for me, very uncomfortable.

 

[alter ego]

You all probably know but beware of ordering from Europe now as the duties knock the price up (I'm not sure the threshold before you're hit with them).

Anything over £135 incurs extra charges.

Yes, and not just VAT at 20% but export duties at a variable rate depending on what it's made of.
