Hi there
I saw an ad in a newspaper yesterday for £20 pairs of Birkenstocks at TJ Hughes. Birkenstocks usually retail from £35 so this is a bit of a bargain! I've been to my local branch today (Maidstone, Kent) and bought a pair. There seemed to be a fair few pairs left too!
Also, lots of Jamie Oliver kitchen stuff reduced to silly prices!
Good luck!

    Tk Max also sell these at £20 a pair if there is one closer, I got a white pair a couple of weeks ago.

    Costco also sell Birkenstocks - around £20 too, I think.

    One strap missing?! how did they manage that!! aren't they all made from really thick leather or something similar? (the ones I've seen are anyway!)

    Pretty good bargain though- 70p, thats like 99.5% off!!

    hi Yes thick straps and they have a black fitting at the sides someone had obviously taken it off, funnily enough the strap on my genuine crocs came off the other week too, awaiting to hear from crocs:confused::confused:

    I went to Costco last week and they had them in for just under £20. Really lurid colours this year.

    Reasonable prices and prompt delivery from these guys if you can't find a TK Max bargain or are looking for something specific. Free postage if you get two pairs (or something similar).

    I'd live in Birkenstocks all summer if the rain would stay away. Love 'em!
