Birki's Super-Birki SKU: #107741

I work in kitchens, and I cannot count the number of shoes I went through until I purchased my Super Birks. I have had mine for close to five years worn everyday I worked, even on my off days, and sadly I must replace them they have cracked on the bottom, but I definately got my money's worth. I did have to replace the insoles a couple of times. The problem of owning an exceptional pair of shoes such as these, is that I got so used to wearing them, my feet and ankles actually became very sensitive to other shoes that were more confined and higher up on my ankle, causing blisters and sore spots. Love my Birks!!!

Maximum comfort, different look - I stand on a tile floor all day in a restaurant where you have to wear black shoes. Grease and dirty water splash on them all day. These shoes seem to be stain-proof. I love the way they let air in around your feet, so your feet don't bake inside them (I live in Phoenix). They have a nice, comfortable removable inner cushion. I like them because they don't squeeze my bad toenail. At first, they seem a little wide and look different. I got used to that when I felt how good they feel after all day at work. I really love these shoes. I just slip them on and slip them off (I hate laces). I'm so glad I bought them. The quality is very good and I got my shipping upgraded for no extra charge -not to mention NO TAXES (the very best part!)

Super-Birki, Super-Shoe - I was skeptical about purchasing these shoes...even after hearing the praise my restaurant co-workers sang about how wonderful they are. Well, I tried them on the minute I opened the box. It was two hours later before I realized I still had them on. I worked 57 hours on my feet Memorial weekend on concrete floors. By the end of the weekend, I was a mess, but my feet felt terrific. I'm going to have to invest in more Birki's, because I've discovered I prefer them to any other shoes I own. (I had promised myself they were for only work..ha! that lasted two days.) Three cheers for Birki!

Not that great - These shoes are only good if you walk around all day. I work in the operating room and stand for hours at a time. They provide little comfort.

Wear them for a couple weeks before you judge them! I've had 2 pairs and thought at first that I should have gotten a different size. I've never had a better shoe for standing on my feet all day, or heavy gardening...but they don't feel great until after you wear them a couple weeks!

Brands I'd also recommend: nothing better than Birkenstock - Merrell is just as comfortable, though.

Not for everyone - I just purchased a pair of these shoes and have been pretty disappointed. The insoles are so mismatched to my feet that my feet felt bruised after wearing them for only a couple of hours. I like the actual shoe, it's easy to clean and seems durable but the comfort level leaves a lot to be desired, at least for me. On the up side, the insole is easily removeable and you can insert a different insole, but that kind of defeats the point of the whole Birkenstock ideal.

Love Birki - I have been wearing Birki since 1997, I'm in the medical field so I stand all day and recently I let my friends talk me into buying a new pair of shoes because they don't like the way birki looks. So I ordered a pair of clogs and was very unhappy after a day, so I ordered another brand of clogs and they were very uncomfortable so I decided to go back to what works for me, Birkis. I am on my fouth pair after 6 years and I'm not going back.

Another fine shoe from Birks - I said on my review that they feel "true to size and true to width", but I am going by Birkenstock standards. The shoes are supposed to be wide and have a lot of toe room in order to allow your foot to spread properly. If you are used to wearing department store shoes, this shoe will feel huge! But it's ok. Give it a chance. I wear mine with thick socks, usually, which makes it even more comfy.

These shoes rock! This is my first pair of clogs. My feet hurt the second day after wearing these, as if I had walked miles in them. Then, they felt great, like they weren't even there. I wear them everyday, around the house like cozy slippers, and outside, no matter what the weather. The tread is just rough enough to keep you from sliding around on a slick surface, but not so deep that you bring the mud inside. Also, they look great. I LOVE THESE SHOES.

Servicable - These shoes are perfect for my needs. I can wear them on wet soccer fields. I can walk the dog in wet high grass. I can wear them to do errands in sloppy weather. My feet stay perfectly dry. I can jump in and out of them easily with my hands free to deal with the dog, etc. I wear a 7, so I ordered a 6-6.5 after reading the reviews which said they run so large. I would have been swimming in a 7. I might have been able to wear even another size smaller. As it is, I have extra room for heavy socks when it's really cold and sloppy. I can deal with the extra slack I have w/o socks since I don't wear them continuously. As for style, well, they're so funny looking that they're cute. I call them my duck feet, they're so broad and consequently look so short. I'm really pleased with the dark blue which looks good with blue jeans. As for comfort, they're okay. Not uncomfortable really, but they don't give you that bedroom slipper comfort that Clarks have. However, I didn't find a shoe like this in Clarks, so just this once, I betrayed my loyalty to Clarks. For wet walks, this is the shoe for me.

ahhh..comfy! I have every thing imagineable wrong with my feet and ankles - sparing you the organ recital, let me just say finding a comfortable AND supportive shoe that doesn't look blecchy is tough! These shoes go with almost everything, custom mold to your feet and make it impossible for my feet to pronate! Word of caution, buy a size smaller than your usual Birkenstock size, they run large.

Great work shoes - This is my second pair of Birkies from Zappos. I have the black and the blue for work. They are comfortable, easy to maintain, and look professional. A great shoe for the price and they wear very well.

I guess I'm different! I've worn Birkenstock's Arizona sandals and Boston clogs for years now and I've always worn the same size in them. From all of the reviews here I thought I'd be fine ordering my regular size for the Super-Birki, and maybe they'd be a little big, but that's fine. I got them and they felt about a half size smaller than all my other Birks! My toes felt like they were hitting the upper edge of the insole. So, I'm getting the next size up and hopefully they'll be fine. I really love all my Birks and I am really looking forward to these!

This pair of shoes rock! I have a really bad foot and I am a pretty heavey person so it is hard to find a shoe that I can wear all day. Well, I did it, I found it! I thank you for that!
