Birkenstocks or flip flops ?

YorkshirePadd26 · 25 May 2007 at 15:21

Birkenstocks like these http://www.asos.com/Vernon-Kay/Birkenstock-Two-Strap-Sandal/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=143587&cid=3423

or some kinda flip flops for my Holiday.

I'll be needing to wear them on the beach and walk about in them.

Bear in mind i find flip flops a right hassle so would you I look a right div with a pair of sandles on the beach ?

What do you all think ?

Birkenstocks methinks.

Would be more comfy when walking around, flip flops go my head in!

I'm sorry Sir Gilly

Both good

Mate has a pair of birkenstocks, they're quite comfy when I nab them to pop down to the shops!

£38 though! :eek:

£5 flipflops from H&M are the way forward!

am I missing something, surely them birken thingies and flip flops are for birds :confused:

TK Maxx has Birkenstock's for £24.99

Not sure what to go for either, flip flops are a right pain though as your constantly battling to keep them on nevermind them digging into your toes

Flipflops. I don't like Birkenstocks. I like flozzers with seagrass on them which soaks up the sweat off your feet.

Flip-Flops (or Thongs as they are called in Aus)

Had the same pair for a good few years now (Quicksilver) and just ordered a pair of Reef Fannings for the hols this year, they take some getting used to but once you have the 'knack' you can walk about in them all day without them falling off (or even thinking about having to keep them on your feet). Never liked the Birkenstock look, and the new craze of those hoooge plastic sandals looks even sillier!
