Birkenstock London SKU: #7244112

I own about eight pairs of Birkenstocks and I bought these because I wanted a pair with a closed back for clinic. I love them. I have tried a lot of comfort shoes and my favorites are Birks, Keens, and Earth shoes. The usual excellent arch support and wide toe box. The only thing would be that the back rubbed a little for the first two days, so just make sure you have longer socks, and the whole shoe was a bit loose after a couple of days, like it had stretched out. I normally wear a 39 regular for open toed Birks or 40 narrow for closed toed, and these were a 40 regular because I was unsure about the tightness at the back.

Another great pair of Birkenstocks! The leather is simple and is breaking in nicely. They are destined to be very comfortable!

I love my Birkenstock clogs, but I wanted a winter shoe -- and London fits the bill. I bought the solid leather version and it's a very nice, warm brown color that is looking even nicer with wear. I don't know about the sizes listed: I wear 9s in most shoes, measured at a Birkenstock store as a 38, and bought a 39 (it was close, but looser felt better to me). I wear these all day at my job in a school library, and they (and I) still feel fantastic by the end of the day! I find that their somewhat plain looks go very well with either casual or slightly dressy clothes, and I even wear them with skirts. Great shoe!

Just got these shoes in the mail and I already love them! I have plantar fascia so I need the high arches. The original Birkenstock footbed is perfect for easing the pain. True to most Birk sizing, these are fairly big. I usually wear a size 10 in woman's, but with these I ordered a 40 (which they say corresponds to a 9-9.5). Plus, I have a wider foot and the Regular is plenty roomy. I like that these look like the classic Birk clog they will be more functional as it gets colder. These appear to be sleeker than ones I've gotten in the past, which traditionally do look a bit clunky. Zappos was amazing as always. I ordered these around 9:30 pm EST and they arrived the next day. Crazy good!

Very comfy to walk. Good shoes. Wish Zappos is selling more colours besides black and brown.

I was not sure that Birkenstocks would be comfortable to me. They are different from other comfortable shoes I have had. They have been great. I thought at first arch support maybe too high but I have not found it so. Oh, by the way, they are not likely to be found on a fashion runway. However, that was not where I was going to wear them.

Best. Shoes. Ever. I wore these during a 3-month backpacking trip across Europe. My feet blister easily and that never happened with these shoes. They held up to hot, sunny days as well as cold, rainy/snowy ones. Feet never get tired whether you're running to catch a train or hiking up a mountain. They're also super easy to get off at security if you fly a lot. The leather upper ages really well also. I love the way they look now more than brand new.

These shoes are fantastic. They have really helped my plantar fasciitis. You may think they look ugly now, but if you have foot pain, they start to look very cool, very quickly. I think their weird look really rocks. Oh, I got the narrow fit; you should decide if you have a narrow foot or not for the perfect fit.

Ugliest shoes ever, and I'm looking for another pair. I have had two pairs of London's, both I have re-soled at least once. I have some Footprints now, and they are great, but I think I am missing the over all greatness of these shoes.

I've had these for about 3 weeks and couldn't be more pleased. They are well worth the money. I have 2 other pairs of Birks 15 years old that have been resoled twice each. These shoes last and last with minimal upkeep. Excellent arch support. I'm a 10.5 and found the 42 to fit well so half sizes may want to order up.

I love how you feel supported and yet not restricted in these wonderfully well made beautiful shoes. I wear them with or without socks and I have yet to get a blister from any of my Birkenstocks. They are made for feet. This color looks great with jeans too.

First, Zappos is the best shopping internet site with unsurpassed service and guarantee. With free shipping, I received my shoes in 2 days. I have worn Birkenstock sandals for years because of comfort and durability. Now, I am wearing the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I highly recommend the London Birkenstock. I need to wear a 10 Narrow London shoe and I must wear thick walking socks because the narrow is a little wide. The thick sock only enhances the comfort of this great shoe. The leather is the best I have ever seen in a shoe and the shoe is completely repairable. Finally, I will remain loyal to Zappos because their service is of the highest level. Thank you Zappos.

I have always worn Birkenstocks. I bought this pair for my 11 year- old son (Birkenstock sizing is unisex) because he has been getting recurrent ingrown toenails. He loves them! He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever worn and he has not had an ingrown toenail since he started wearing them. The habana oiled leather was more expensive, but I wanted him to have a pair that he really likes, and it is a beautiful finish, even after being waterproofed!

Beautiful shoe. I wear a size 37 and this felt like a 36. Order one size larger than what you normally wear.

These shoes are great! I have high arches and also chronic foot pain from years of ballet and long distance running. Birkenstock shoes are the only shoes I can currently wear without pain. These felt a little bigger than the sandals I have that are the same size, and I almost sent them back for a smaller size. However, after wearing them for a few days they feel great. They are just a little roomier than most shoes. Also, they look better in person than in the pictures.

Love these shoes! I own about six pair of Birkenstocks, and these are my new favorite.

I love these shoes! They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had! They fit perfectly and look great. I was looking for a shoe that alleviate knee and back pain, this shoe fits the bill. I've worn their sandals in the summer but this is the first clog I've tried, and they are just as awesome as the sandals. They're pricey, but worth it.

Ordered my normal Birkenstock size and they are perfect! I have worn Bostons in the past. I was worried about the heel rubbing my achilles tendon, but it doesn't. The back of the shoe doesn't sit right up against my foot, so there is no rubbing. I teach and am on my feet all day, so these are perfect. My foot is wide at the base of my toes, and the wider toe box is a perfect fit. The front "tongue" does rub against the top of my foot a little, but socks solve that problem easily. Also, the leather will soften up over time. It's already soft, but it will break in even more. Definitely cuter on than I expected. I think they look better than the Bostons.
