Finally ordered my Birken's first in quite a few years, i have always had them with narrow feet my sandal options are not to vast.

I got them in the black, should be here this week. Never had a style like this before.. had double wide strap, triple thin strap and an MJ style.

Cannot get pic to come up.. it's called Alyssa.

I never EVER thought I would wear such fugly shoes but lo and behold I too have jumped on the ortho-sandal train. Now I have camo, leopard, cheetah, gray etc.. they truly are the most comfortable sandals I own!! And IMO look better on casual days than cheapie flip flops. I still think they are "kinda" ugly but receive gobs of compliments when I wear them. Just yesterday while in the pharmacy, the cashier was leaning over the counter LOUDLY exclaiming her love of my leopard LOL!! FYI- TARJAYS knockoff of birkies ain't bad I discovered, not bad at all. Sam edelmans are decent too!!
 
Thanks!
Maybe because I already have them in black, and I never wear white shoes. I'm very fair-skinned and tend to avoid white. They're growing on me and I've worn them so they're mine now!

ah, okay.. well black is more non seasonal.. if your fall is warm you could easily wear those then.

The white? i have worn white sandals before and i am fair skinned too.. i think it's a great way to incorporate that color without washing us out.
 
These are so pretty! I have checked a few sites and they are only in narrow?? :(

I got mine at nordies. I'm actually waiting for another pair to come i couldn't decide between 37 and 38 i finally decided on the 38s but the ones i got the straps are un even one side is notably smaller. I'm hanging on to the ones i have just in case i need to mix and match if i get another miss matched pair (both the same size but the length if the straps and the placement of the holes are off. But when i compare them to my unisex ones they are maybe only a centimeter or two narrower. My feet are total barney rubble feet i often size up half a size to get extra width. I'll report back after i get them and wear them how they work after wearing them. They seemed to hug the edges of my feet but didn't feel uncomfortable, granted i only wore them while trying them on. I think with wear they'd stretch a bit to fit your foot.

I just ordered some from Planet Shoes. I hope they fit!! I have another pair of 39 and they seem slightly big, so I ordered the N 39 in these.

I also ordered a black pair in 38 reg. Eventually I'll figure out which ones fit. :) (Waiting for shipping it torture though!)

I'm going to Germany in 2 months and am thinking about buying a new pair there. Does anyone know if they're cheaper there?

I have 2 pairs already and love them. I got mine 2 years ago after seeing them on Ashley Olsen and all my girlfriends made fun of me. I'm glad they're showing up everywhere now.

My DH asked me if birkies was a birkin lol!
