Similar to mine, I started wearing birkenstocks because of my plantar fascitis, I rotate it w/ my crocs rx but I need a breathable and less bulky foot wear to pair w/ shorts and skirts. I have the Sparta in lime green and also in white but my dog chewed on it.

I am so pleased they have become a bit trendy again, although I have been wearing them for the last 20 years or so, as I treated myself to a pair of Heidi Klum black and white jewelled Sapphire Birks about 8 years ago on a trip to Berlin. Hardly worn, they are rock and roll chic and I am looking forward to getting them out of the box (and their individual cloth bags) and becoming the envy of the Hoxton hipsters and the Shoreditch set!
Does anyone know what the actual price of the all black Gizeh Exquisite is? The style number is 043861 for the regular width, and 043863 for the narrow width, which is what I need.
A store nearby has them in the regular width and told me they are $240!!! Seems a tad steep!!!
I might be able to order narrow, but for that price, I'm just not so sure. They are super duper cute though and seemed to be extremely comfortable. The regular width in fact pretty much fit me, but since I get narrow in the Arizonas, I figure i should stick with the same, right? Or are Gizeh's generally not as wide?

They were listed on birkenstockusa.com at $180. But have been sold out for a while.
Omg thank you!!! Is there still a screenshot or cache of this on the site that I could then show the store? Maybe they could match. I had a feeling that $240 was a schmuck charge. Thank god I didn't get them yet.
All I have is the cache from the Polyvore site:

Good luck! I hope you get them to price match

Thank you so much! But hmm, these look like they have some sort of braiding on them. Which would probably make them even more pricey. The ones I want are just plain but I think it's safe to say that there is no way they are $240
Yes, the braiding would make it more pricey because of the time spent making them. So $240 for the cleaner version is definitely overpriced!Thank you so much!

Supply and demand...? They've been sold out everywhere for months. If someone wants them bad enough, they'll pay that.
ooh i quite like those... guess i need another pair of birks... at least they aren't too expensive lol
that style is sold out, last years model. 36 was too big on me
i need 35's which are hard to come by anywhere..........
Wow, suede !!They are so beautiful !
This will be a perfect combination !
And yes, the assortment is dangerous ! I'm glad, that I'm content with the 40,- € models so far :greengrin: Your's have been much more expensive, I guess
Love it !
Oops, mine are navy leather, not suede.
I bought so many pairs of shoes this spring that I'm confused!Shoes prices are always higher in Canada.
Even the 40€ ones will cost more here. I remember seeing Birks and Papillio for very reasonable prices in Berlin when I was there years ago. Too bad I wasn't fashion forward enough to grab a few pairs then...and now I'm paying more for the hype.
