The weather here is just becoming warm enough to wear sandals now and then. It was almost 80* F today, and I wore my black patent birks with the layered black and white soles.

I just pulled the trigger on these from Nordies. Last year there were sandals at Nordies and at Barney's that I hesitated on and they sold out before I had a chance to get them. I won't let it happen again!

Did you get the red ones? I tried them on today at Nordstrom and was pleasantly surprised by how buttery soft the straps were. I'm trying to decide between red and yellow (yellow isn't available at Nordstrom but at Zappos, UO, and Modcloth).

I bought the red ones, but I am kind of disappointed that they are not a true red. I realize that they aren't blood red in the photo, either, but they're just different enough that RED isn't necessarily the first colour that comes to mind when I look at them. They are very comfortable, though, because the straps are more suede-like than stiffer leather, and because they have the padded footbed. I am still on the fence about whether to keep them.

Yeah they are more of a natural tomato red. I decided to order the yellow (one site calls it chartreuse?) and am hoping I like that color in person. I know Birkenstock is an earthy brand :D but I wish they would make more sandals in very bright, fun colors. Or they should make them available in the US if they have them elsewhere.

Never been a fan but just became one! Bought Mayari's in black and have worn them constantly! Also bought Gizeh's in true red, haven't worn them yet.
I find that I want to paint my toenails cuter colors now because the shoes aren't so pretty! lol! They're cool IMO, and very comfy, but not exactly graceful :p
I love them!

My Nords Rack has Arizonas for $100, but they put the sticker on the inside heel of the shoe and it's completely sticky when you peel it off! #fail

:giggles: same here
I love to paint my toenails too, when I'm wearing Birkis. Such fun to find a matching color !
You're completely right, they aren't graceful at all :laugh: I guess, that's why I love them

Oh yay, you're coming! The weather will be nice for the next few days so pack your Birks! What do you have planned?

At the beginning and at the end a few days of sightseeing and shopping :greengrin: in Vancouver, but most of the time we'll hang out on Vancouver islands in some (hopefully) nice and comfortable lodges.
I'm soo looking forward to it :yes:

Not sure what size/color you were needing, but the pink now has the full range of sizes, and there are several in the green. Probably emptied carts overnight.:)

I like the look of the Florida, so hope that they look okay. I've never had the Birki Flor, is it comfortable to wear?

+1 I got a pair of white patent Arizonas on eBay, and the seller got them from the Rack. She took off the part of the sticker with the price, and the suede is sticky. I got a cleaning kit yesterday, hope that helps.

I probably need to check early in the morning, only have really big sizes, I will try again. They have one small size in the green, but I am not sure of the color.
