So buying these! Thank you for the recommendation. Can you also fix my nice flat shoe conundrum?? I can’t wear heels and need some shoes that look nice but don’t cripple my feet. Going out to dinner kind of thing. Any thoughts? All tips greatly appreciated as I am definitely a worm hole researcher and it would be so nice to avoid that for a change

I have worn the khaki Archies slides for every one of the last 14 days since I got them. They go with everything. Get the slides.

Get the Archie’s Esther because every time you slide your foot into the Birkenstocks you will be varying degrees of dissatisfied. Put the Birkenstocks on Vinted to alleviate any feelings of guilt because your gain with be someone’s else’s too.

I never realised I needed these, but I’ll now be buying! What is the sizing like? True to size?

Is it wrong that I like the putty-coloured ones?

Do just buy what you want, but I don't get the slides thing. 101 reasons to have a nasty accident is my fear... mind you, I said this about Crocs and now cannot be parted from my mint-green pair, so what do I know???

Definitely get the Archies. Life is too short. Leave birks at your other house and justify that way as ingenious

I am not an aider and abetter of superfluous shopping usually but I make an exception for comfortable footwear. If you find shoes that not only don’t bother you but fit properly and feel nice to wear - GET THEM! Don’t play around with your feet. I always say if I win the lottery I will have elves make custom shoes for me while I sleep. And I’m not a big shoe person, I’m a big feeling at ease at point of contact with the Earth person.

I HAVE THE KHAKI ARCHIE SLIDES!!!!

They are the absolute biz, I bought them in Australia last year and am very cross they didn't realise you would want a pair and didn't stock up their UK website until now. Bastards.

I feel that your birkie slides should meet with an untimely accident so that you are forced to re-purchase, this time with the Archies. Can you leave them somewhere near a puppy for a bit? <helpful emoji>
