In love with Birkenstocks. This Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed is my first pair from this company and I am completely satisfied. I had to return my first pair which fit perfectly in thin socks or stocking, however I wear cotton socks most often and had to order the next size up for a comfortable fit. The soft foot bed is really soft and comfortable. I'm afraid to try the standard foot bed. Zappos has an excellent customer service department. They mailed out my new shoes on the same day I returned the original pair ordered. I have other family members now purchasing this brand of shoes from only Zappos.

Homely, but worth it- Sometimes you are just willing to compromise looks for comfort. I reach for these as soon as I get home from work. They really are more comfortable than barefoot. Mind you, I am talking about the soft foot bed version.

Great Casual Shoe- This clog is great for indoor/outdoor use. It is especially convenient when you don't want to bother with lace-up alternatives. This is my second pair of Berkie clogs (first from Zappos) and I highly recommend them... what comfort!

What an EXCELLENT Shoe! Once again, I am SO VERY pleased with my purchase from Zappos. The Birkenstock's Boston Soft Footbed is like walking on air. The shoe supports were it should, and allows my toes to be comfortable, and what a difference in being on your feet! I have a medical condition which making finding a footwear that is comfortable, supportive and looks good difficult. I found all three in this product! And the price at Zappos... I couldn't find that in any upscale shoe store NOR discounted shoe stores. My Feet say thank you to Zappos for making available quality shoes at a reasonable price.

About Birkenstock
Birkenstock is based on the simple principles of health and wellness, quality workmanship and materials, and a respect for the environment. Did you know that Birkenstock created the original contoured footbed that supports and shapes to your foot when walking? And it's made of 100% natural and renewable cork. You can feel good that you are supporting your feet and the environment at the same time. You could call it sustainable comfort.
Birkenstock footwear is designed and sized to provide a roomy fit allowing your toes and feet to wiggle and be free. This sometimes takes a bit of getting used to. Also, most Birkenstock styles come in two widths: narrow and regular, so you can really find the best possible fit for your feet. For the most natural fit, your feet should rest comfortably inside the footbed and there should be about ¼” between your toes and the end of the footbed.
No other part of your body is subject to as much stress and strain as your feet and that is why it is so important to take care of them. With features like a contoured cork footbed, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box, Birkenstock clogs and sandals provide more than simply cushioning. Birkenstock footwear provides the perfect balance of firm support and shock resistance allowing your feet and body to be naturally supported.

Comfort! Until recently, I have worn regular Birkenstock Boston’s without the padded foot bed with no problem. I have plantar fasciitis and arthritis in my knees, so I most often wear athletic shoes with orthotics. However, it is nice to have the option of wearing something different occasionally. Recently, I've begun having more problems with my feet and the padding in the Soft Footbed really helps with the comfort. Zappos does a great job of getting the shoes to customers quickly!

Comfort - This shoe is very comfortable. It's my first pair of Birkenstock's and I am very impressed. I wore them to Disneyland and they were great all day long. As my feel swelled later in the day they still were great. A+!

Perfect Gift for my 13-year-Old Daughter- Can't believe that teenagers love these shoes as much as we did! The "soft bed" is even more comfortable than the old "Boston" but just as wearable and sturdy. My daughter likes the new lighter color choices. Still a hip shoe that is good for the feet.

At long last- I FINALLY bought Birks and I am SO happy. I also recently bought a pair of Dansko's but I wish I could return them... these are SO much better. I can wear them day after day and my feet are happy (I used to change shoes during the day to help avoid pain). I would travel the world in these. No question. They require minimal break in time. Don't buy too big, they will stretch a little.

Comfy shoe - Very comfy shoe that my daughter wears every day. They already look old and battered but she does not seem to care. Beige color shows stains so get black if that bothers you.

Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed- Great. I've been wearing this style shoe for years but this was the first Soft Footbed I've bought. Makes a world of difference. A little noisy at first with a squishy sound, but gets a little less every day. Highly recommend.

I'm Hooked! These are wonderful! These are extremely comfortable, I have a slim foot and wear a size 8, occasionally an 8.5 depending on the shoe, and the Birki narrow size 39 fits perfectly with or without socks. Wonderful arch support. For years I've tried to keep up with the "fashion times" with pointy toes and skinny higher heals- no more! I'm 41 and these make me feel like I'm a cool kid in college and my feet feel great. I've already ordered Arizona sandals to live in this summer!

These shoes are wonderful. I walk a lot during the day on concrete floors. At the end of the day, my feet and legs are no longer tired and achy. I have ended up wearing these almost everyday. Plan on buying more in other colors. They tend to be a little wider than expected, so if you foot is average, order the narrow.

Another Good Choice From Birkenstock - Once again I've been very happy with my choice of shoes from Birkenstock. This is the first pair of soft footbed shoes I've tried and am very pleased with the comfort. The style is great for jeans, sweats and casual wear, and I can wear them all day and quite frankly forget about having them on. Great shoe - I highly recommend them!
