Birkenstocks

Traleigh — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 19:59:42 GMT

Due to a broken foot and knee injury, I have been purchasing Birki's from the Q since 1999. They keep my foot and knee in line as needed.

Q has always had the best selection and fashionable styles, colors,etc.

It appears they are discontinuing the line on the Q and I am so disappointed. Prices in retail stores, if you can find them, are outrageous.

I tried the new brands they brought in , but they absolutely do not compare.

Please bring our Birkis back to the Q.

You can still buy them online at Happyfeet, as well as other websites. The Southern channel also carries a few styles. All have free shipping too. I've gotten brand new pairs from the bay in past years as well, and they were much lower priced than they were here. My favorite style is the Gizeh, and I recently got them in a new color from Happyfeet. (They were my 81st pair, so I understand your love for them!)

The lowest prices are on 6pm.com (owned by Zappos) - 1st quality. I recently purchased around 15 gorgeous pairs of clogs and sandals. I only had to return 2 pairs. For each pair, I paid $29 to $60 each - that was last year. It's free shipping to u; but u pay return shipping. Realize that their prices change daily, so keep checking. I bought 2 pairs of white clogs (one was Birki Dorian (Mary Jane style), and the other was Birki Shetland). Original prices were $99 each - and I paid $29 each. I'm actually wearing a pair of grey birki sandals now. I have Birki's/Birkenstocks/Papillios/Betula. They're all gorgeous!!!! I wear 7 wide in regular shoes; 37 narrow in all these. They run WIDE!!!

Love Birki's. I wonder how former rep Claudia is doing? Didn't she have a baby?

2blonde: go to costco.com (if ur a member) and click on women's clothing; in the left column half-way down, click Birkenstock. They show Gizeh style (for 1/2 price). Read reviews for sizing.

bluegrassbaby: Last year, one pair of my Birki sandals needed new heels. I called a local shoemaker and was quoted $30 to replace the heels - and I knew that I wasn't paying that. I started googling Birkenstock/Birki's and found 6PM. The first pairs of 2 strap Birki sandals that I purchased at 6PM were $45 each. Most of the time, you'll find the exact same clogs/sandals on Zappos.com at much higher prices. You can check Zappos for reviews of Birkenstocks/Birki's that ur interested in -- no reviews on 6PM. I also purchased 2 yellow leather coin purses from them at $20 each (regularly $30). They carry lots of other products as well.

The reason I and many others liked to buy our Birkies from QVC is because they carried many styles with backstraps. Most of the other websites only carry the slip-ons.

I'll take the blame. Last year, I only intended to replace my Birki sandals that needed new heels -- instead I purchased around 15 pairs of Birkenstocks/Birki's/Papillios/Betula from 6PM. I learned a long time ago --- if u see something u like, at a great price --- buy tons!!!!!! That's right - FREE shipping!!! Your feet will love u.

Lynneuk - I just went to 6pm and the shoes u ordered are Betula (not Papillio). I wear a 7 wide in regular shoes --- but with the Birkenstock brand, I wear 37 narrow. Hope u ordered NARROW.

Traleigh: I just saw a pair of Birkenstock Milano nubuck with backstrap in brown on 6pm.com - $77.48 w/free shipping. Check back regularly, as their shoes, sizes and prices are always changing.

You're right! Betula not Papillio. They only offered one width which they called medium.

They will be fine for me, I have other Betula's in 39 medium and they fit great.

I can't wait to get them!

I buy my birkies from www.shoebuy.com. I have a narrow foot and they have a good selection. I love the ones with the Union Jack. Off to check the 6p.m. Website.

I love my Birks and now that we moved to Tennessee I can wear them almost year round! I even wear them in the winter with a pair of socks if I am just hanging around the house. Think I have about 20 pair and recently picked up two more pair at Q. I know that I can purchase elsewhere, but wish Q would bring them back. It certainly seems they are being fazed out in favor of some of the other ortho-type shoes.

NYCMOM — Sun, 20 Jul 2014 15:22:38 GMT

I feel the same way.... I love birkenstocks, the firmer the better and light on the foot. I hurt my foot badly also, birkenstocks seem to be the only shoe that holds my foot in its proper alignment that doesn't weight a ton to lift the shoe. I understand QVC is pushing the vonic sandals, I haven't tried them yet. But I am still shopping for Cute Birkis where I can find them. That's why I liked shopping on QVC they had such cute girly styles. OH WELL - thanks goodness for other Birki lovers and the world wide web of shopping.

Thanks Poster for the 6PM site - I will ck them out !
