    long long ago when i was like 12 i used to have a pair very similar to the first ones. they stay on quite well unless you are playing soccer.

    I have a couple of pairs of the first type you posted, and I find them really comfy, I know mine anyway are kind of moulded...so your feet don't just slip out of them, especially when you get a bit sweaty in the summer (come on, you know it's true!). I'd definitely recommend them, they are comfy and very importantly, they're cute as hell ;)

    As for the second pair, I can't say I have anything identical, but the knotted toe bit looks like it could be a bit awkward. However, I've had normal pairs of flip flops with the toe thong and they've been fine...I guess it's a bit of a risk, don't think they look horribly uncomfortable though! Happy shopping!

    i like the first style better but i thought they may slip off and the second style have the toe but so look like they would stay on better

    Yeah, probably right that the toe thingy (articulate!) would keep them on better and seems to be a definite plus provided it doesn't rub or hurt at all. For what it's worth, the ones I have the same as the first are really comfy, and whilst they're not as steadfast on my feet as a pair of trainers or the like, they don't slip off easily. Is all... :D

    BIRKENSTOCKS! :heart:

    Yeh, I've got the first pair in white. I love them, they're so comfortable and no, they don't fall off your feet at all. As Briggi said, they have like imprinted moulds so your feet fit them. They're great, well worth the money! :thumb:

    If you want the ones from Office, and you don't have one near you, then you could order it online.
    If you want the Birckenstocks, then I think you's have to go to London.

    Birkenstocks

    Yeah if you're after Birkenstocks then the only official shop they have is in London, and a lot of their other stockists are in London too (typical eh!) Not sure where you live, but if it's not in or around London you can shop online but I imagine they have limited availability. UK shop

    There's a slight different in the sole of Scholl and Birckenstocks. But the style is about the same.
