I thought nothing could feel better on my feet than Birkenstocks until I ordered these High Arch Birkenstocks. These clogs have the most comforting and energizing support you could imagine. I am ordering my second pair right now..just so I will have a back up pair. I hope they start offering the high arch feature in a smooth leather finish...suede doesn\\\'t belong in the kitchen...and that\\\'s one place I need the support.

Now 70, heavy for my height, retired and sedentary, I had sought footwear that was of a slip-on design, would have good plantar support, and could be used as slippers, as well as for knock-around, casual, outdoors use. I had tried the Birkenstock Boston cushioned footbed model finding it superb. I thought a high arch model of the same shoe would support my feet better. As a matter of fact, I found the high arch model wanting, inasmuch as the high arch of this shoe seems to be located primarily at the instep side of the foot, as opposed to right underneath the arch of the foot, thus negating to the wearer the benefit of a true high-arch footbed.

Birkenstock & Zappos to the rescue! If your arches need support, these are the shoes for you. I wear orthotics in my other shoes, but these have more support. They feel good walking, standing, very comfortable leather uppers and feel so good I didn't want to take them off. You cannot go wrong and I highly recommend trying these. Zappos makes it all so easy and if you don't like them it's free shipping back to the big Z.

Very comfortable!
If you have found Birks to be too hard and the break in too long....This is very comfortable with very little break in time. I am used to the soft footbed (which is amazing with no break in). This high arch footbed is super comfortable and I highly recommend. Wish the style was more feminine or if could at least get it in leather rather than suede.

Birkenstock High Arch -
I have very high arches and wear orthodics for running/hiking. There are a very different feel then most comfort shoes I've tried. I really liked them and very much like the high arch feel, but didn't end up keeping them because I seem to fall in between sizes. I would normally go with the larger size, but in this case, the larger seemed to throw me a bit in to a pronation (tilting in) which I don't think is intended, I also typically like a little heel lift, (and inch or so even), and this is a different shoe science all together - it supports your feet from below versus laterally and your heel is intentionally fully nested on the ground with no lift. There have a very firm, hard feel which I think would become very comfortable and wish they'd fit better. They seem very wide at first, but when you read about the Birkenstock philosophy, and wear them around the house, they seem the right width. Would definitely recommend it, esp the High Arch if you need it, but expect a different sort of 'shoe'.

Great shoes!
I had my new Birks on about 60 seconds after the UPS guy dropped them off and I will tell everyone they fit perfectly and felt great. My feet have been craving firm support and the comfort and relief were immediate! I have never worn backless Birks before and put them with thick socks for the best fit. Ladies be educated that a Birk "narrow" is like a generous "B" width. I think the Birk look is funky and fun! Super excellent arch support.

Birkenstock High Arch -
I bought the Birkenstock Boston High Arch for my 19 year old daughter. A college level basketball player, she injured her Achilles Tendon and is not able to wear a conventional shoe/sneaker at this time. She has flat feet and orthotics so not being able to wear a shoe meant no orthotic. Your clog has been a godsend with respect to the arch support it has provided her. When I told her that I had ordered her a pair of Birks, her comment was she wasn't wearing "old lady" shoes. Much to her surprise, she loved them and was pretty amazed at the level of support the additional arch provided her. The only drawback was the price. I realize that you get what you pay for, but the price was a tough swallow for a pair of supplemental clogs. Hopefully, they will become more than supplemental for her after the Achilles has healed!

Not for us, but still a good shoe -
These were for my 13yr old daughter. I was looking for support for her narrow and long foot, so I went for the high arch. The arch really bugged her and so we went with a similar shoe that had a regular arch.

Took a short while to get used to the high arch. I have flat feet so the high arch helps to align my knee joint properly for less joint stress. Very comfortable.

Very pleased with these shoes! I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis all summer, and, after several visits to the podiatrist for care I am finally better. She recommended Birks and these high arch shoes are excellent! I don't take them off! Who cares what they look like when your feet don't hurt?

What a trip!
To find a shoe described as having a high arch was certainly a revelation to me. Maybe I've been living under a rock -- that's entirely possible in Yoder, Wyoming (translated -- edge of the planet). I have always loved Birkenstocks because they're the only shoe or sandal I can wear without my custom orthotics. I will definitely be checking out more of your merchandise offerings in the future. Thank You!

High Arch is painful!
The arch was a little too high for my foot. I have a high arch anyway, but also suffer from Plantar Fasciitis. It made it a lot more painful.

Great Shoe if you have arch problems -
I have to wear high arch shoes because of medical reasons. These are great. They work better than the Dr. ordered arch support that I can never find shoes to put them in.

Yes, they're pretty ugly, but for anyone who has issues with their backs because you don't have enough heel and arch support, these are the ones! I have very high arches and even the regular Birks don't have enough support, but these are amazing. First shoe ever where my arch is fully supported without putting insoles in!

I have worn Birks since I was in JR High a long long time ago. They are the best shoe-sandal out there for sore tired feet. They do take getting used to. They work your toes and shins. Once that has passed your feet will love you forever.

I wear Birkenstocks exclusively; from clogs, sandals and shoes. Pricey, but worth it. I have fallen arches and this is the only brand that relieves my foot pain.

I love Birkis -
I ordered this shoe in a 37 because that's what the manufacturer suggested for my 6-6 & 1/2 sized foot... I checked this site and many others to make sure it was correct, but, alas, when I received it, it was HUGE! I ended up going to a Birkenstock store in the area and had my foot measured and it turned out I needed a 36 narrow. I love them though! I would go a size smaller if you buy them!

Love my new Birks -
My old Birkenstocks always felt too wide; (especially after I lost 50+ lbs) I didn't even know Birks came in a narrow width! I ordered the size I have worn for 15 or so years, except in narrow, and I love them!! I got my first Birks when I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis, and they have done wonders. I am an X-Ray Tech, and spend lots of time on my feet.

Fabulous!
I wear a size 9-9.5 ordinarily. I have a medium width foot. I always order a size 40R in Birkenstocks and the Boston clog is no exception. They fit fabulous and look great. Birkenstocks aren't for everyone. Fashionistas may feel they look like duck feet. For me, they are super cool and don't look like you are trying to be cool. Best of all, they feel great! Zappos is the absolute best place to order any style shoe. Excellent customer service. VERY fast shipping. Thanks so much!!

These were purchased for my son - he found them very comfortable - he has a wide foot - the regular width was a good match but if your foot is medium or narrow I would suggest going with the narrow... and the sizing is on the generous side...almost like slippers as far as comfort - A GREAT CHOICE!!

Love this pair of Birks -
I usually wear the sandals, but I wanted a pair of the clogs for Xmas, my Mom ordered them, they are great. At first I didn’t like the black that she picked, but after wearing them, they look great!! They just needed to break in to get the right look. Great Shoes.

 |  | Zappos, you are amazing! Can you please explain to me how you can make shoes arrive on my doorstep 12 hours after I order them? I placed my order at 10 pm, and by 10 the next morning I got an email saying the box was on my porch. Even my daughter was impressed, because she knows that when you order things ‘on the computer’ they generally take ‘forever’ to get here. We are mystified but very grateful! Many thanks for the most incredible service out there!
