I ordered these about a week ago, they are cute, but too big and a little painful too, so I have to send them back for a smaller pair, BUT in the meantime I found a similar pair..and now I don't know if I should keep these:
or get one of these instead:
HELP!!!

I actually like the second pair better. Mostly because thongs are too painful for me to wear but also because the first pair looks a bit masculine to me for some reason.
I am just afraid the pain in the first pair won't go away with wear/break in......I know Kenzie and Maddie have a pair of these.....where are you Kenzie and Maddie :) hehe

I don't know if this is where they were painful...but from everything I've heard about Birks, they are painful or uncomfortable at first. That ridge part where your toes are can be a bit odd to wear, at least until they start to comform to your foot. The sides of the Birks can also be a bit odd too since they aren't flat but are rounded/curved to fit your foot. Is that what was painful?? If the ridges didn't fall in the correct part...I can totally see that being painful.
I do like the first pair better, but I like thongs much much better than I like slides. Neither looks too granola too me, especially if you aren't wearing a floor-length skirt and smelling of patchouli!

ms. shanzie, what was painful about the first pair? They're super cute, and I was considering ordering a pair for myself.
Just
Just the thong between the foot was SO stiff. And I wear thong sandals all summer...I am sure it would feel better after a few wearings, and also if they wern't so big. I usually wear a 38 or a 7.5-8 in US, but I had to go down to the 37 in these. I just ordered both pairs, so I will let you know how they feel when they arrive again. I ordered them from softmoc.com..they are on sale :) With free shipping....
