@lolakimono - that’s what I told my husband!  LOL.  I put them on and haven’t taken them off yet. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Re: Anybody wear Birkenstocks?

I've been wearing Birkenstock clogs and sandals since the late 70's and they never have gone out of style. I think people who are not happy with the fit in the Arizona style need to know that it's a unisex style and to order the narrow width if you are a woman who wears a med. width in a shoe. Now that I'm older I prefer the soft footbed, but other than that, I love my Birkenstocks. The ruby patent are real cute.

I purchased a clog of Birkenstock from the Q several years ago.  I ended up donating them because the hard footbed was uncomfortable for me.  I tend to like a hard/soft footbed or soft footbed.  I love my Alegria shoes.  They have the hard/soft footbed and you don't know you are wearing shoes.  Both pairs were half price on clearance from the Q and I receive many compliments.

School color is red, and what girl could be without (comfort) ruby slippers?

My hubby has a knock off pair of the beach shoes that he we wears around the house and a real pair that he uses for the pool during the Summer

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Re: Anybody wear Birkenstocks?

When the Q sold them I tried a pair but just couldn't find the right fit. Then I saw them at Famous Footwear and bought a pair. They were the cutest black patent sandal and I still have them. That was over 10 years ago. Just can't part with them. I see that ******'s now carries them too. Going to check them out to see what they have. They were very comfortable but gave me the support that I needed.

@lolakimono - I love it!!  I know you’re the master “tracker downer” of things but I would have been happy to point you in the right direction. They are really, very very pretty in person. And very comfortable.
