The "Boston Suede" Birks are excellent. There is no breaking in time; they felt wonderful the first time I put them on. I wear a size 8 shoe, but ordered these in a size 38. Perfect fit. Actually, I can wear a thin sock with them or go without. I think these will be perfect for winter, spring and fall. Summer I will go back to the sandal. I developed plantar fasciitis this past summer so the support is exactly what I need and my foot is already feeling better. Zappos processed and delivered my order quickly. Great service. Thank you.

Very nice product, unexpected overnight complimentary shipping. Zappos always delivers and plan to order more Birkenstock as a result.

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I am getting used to them. I wish they were a little narrower though....hopefully big socks will help?

I have two pairs and I love them. They are like slippers they are so comfortable. I just ordered my daughter a narrow pair (we wear the same shoe size) and they are too small on her. The narrow run at least one size, if not 1 1/2 sizes smaller.

Great shoes and very comfortable if you are going to be on your feet all day. I would recommend buying a size smaller than you already wear, they tend to run big.

A Great Buy!
Birkenstock Bostons are a timeless style for all seasons. They provide great support and can be worn all day. They are my 'dog-walking' slip-ons in the morning then provide a casual, comfortable, stylish look throughout the day. Additionally, I only recently bought a replacement pair after wearing my last Bostons for over 6 years; this shoe is built to last! It has been my experience to buy 1 full size smaller than you usually wear and give them about a month of regular wear until the cork sole is properly formed to your foot. The Bostons are a great buy!

A must have!
I just got my first pair of Birkenstocks clogs. Everything that has been said about these shoes is true. I did not experience any break-in time. I'm a size 6.5 (37), but 5-5.5 (36) feels perfect in these clogs, so they are running a little too big. My feet are regular width and any shoes with big arches tend to hurt me, but not these shoes. I am looking forward to getting another pair and trying their sandals next summer. By the way, they look great with blue jeans!

Fabulous Birkenstock. Bought for son to replace 3-year-old Birks and he said they are great out of the box. Comfy, very little break in time. A classic with a timeless look.
It is best to wear socks in these clogs to absorb moisture. The old Birks got very "gamey" because my son didn't want to look like a nerd. I wish there was a good way to sufficiently dry them out between uses. Of course, Zappos is the best. I have bought lots of shoes from them and their customer service is amazing.

Birkenstock Boston in Black Suede -
All Birkenstock's are great, but the Boston suedes are my favorite. I have been wearing Birkenstocks for about 25 years - way before they were popular. I don't put much of anything else on my feet. I even found a pair of black patent leather Bostons for dress up. You can't go wrong - as far as comfort - if you buy these. They also last forever - I had a pair of taupe suede Boston's that lasted me 10 years. I have very flat narrow feet and the narrow fit sometimes may be too loose. I either tighten them up in the last hole or take them to the shoe shop so an additional hole can be put in.

Foot problems have forced me to go for comfort instead of style, however, these provide both. There is nothing more comfortable than Birkenstocks. Great for people with bunions, believe me! A "R" is actually nice and wide.

I have wide flat feet and it is difficult to find comfortable shoes. I have been a fan of Birkenstock sandals for twenty years but this is the first time I tried the clogs and I am very pleased.

Love these shoes!
I don't stay still, ever, and these shoes come right with me. Birks were recommended to solve leg cramps, and they are so comfortable. Give it a couple days, because it does exercise your feet, and they might be a little sore, but then you will be able to wear them everyday, no problem.

These Birkenstocks are comfortable and warm, light and durable. Zappos says the shoes would send the next day, and, though it was just before Christmas, we got them the next business day! I was truly impressed.

Birkenstock Bostons -
I ordered these shoes for my daughter for Christmas. She was so excited to finally get a pair of Birkenstock's. The sizing was perfect and she said they are very comfortable. I will be purchasing shoes from Zappos in the future. Their service is awesome. Thanks!

Attention People Who Must Wear Custom Orhotics; PLEASE READ!
I am one of those unfortunate souls who had no choice but to get custom-made orthotics for my feet; my left foot pronates, and my right foot supinates, which is very odd, not to mention my feet are very narrow, very thin, and my ankles resemble that of a bird's (think sparrow...)....to make a very long story short (just ask anyone in the Returns Dept. @ Zappos that I ordered several dozen pairs of shoes in the span of 1 month, and the most comfortable pair I found were the Birkenstock Boston's, BUT: my orthotics kept slipping out of them; I thought the heel cup would be deep enough, but it wasn't, so my orthotics would creep slowly back until they were hanging off the edge by a good inch or so; I was devastated b/c I finally found a pair of shoes that fit like a dream, and I couldn't wear them (unless I got a custom-made Boston modeled after my orthotics, which maybe I will, in the future, depending upon how expensive it is, etc.) BUT, and here's the GOOD BUT, which I never thought there could be, I discovered the Tatami Oklahoma's (Tatami is a 'division' of Birkenstock, I believe) and they are an absolute DREAM COME TRUE!!
The footbed is removable, should your orthotics be very thick and/or bulky where you have to wear them by themselves in the shoe (meaning with no footbed in the shoe, just placing the orthotics directly on the 'shell' of the shoe) OR, you could place your orthotic on the footbed and it WILL REST INSIDE AND NOT SLIDE OUT THE BACK OF THE SHOE!!!
The 'lip' on the back of the shoe is high enough to allow the orthotic to remain in the shoe and not slip back (and out); I cannot say how much I love the Tatami Oklahoma's and I tried to do a review directly for them, but they are out of Tatami products right now, so I can't leave feedback for them.
So, if you love Boston's (or ANY Birkenstocks for that matter) but must wear custom orthotics, the Tatami Oklahoma may be the answer to your footwear-prayers; I hope to God they never stop making them b/c they are truly a Godsend, and I personally feel that they are as 'good' as 'regular' Birkenstocks; I honestly cannot tell the difference; both footbeds are fantastic, and in my opinion, they are well worth the extra money.
I also wanted to thank Zappo's again for being so patient w/ me and making my 'Shoe Chronicles', as I call them, as painless as possible!
TATAMI OKLAHOMA'S = AWESOME
Happy Holidays to everyone, and I hope this wordy review helped other folks out there like me w/ 'problem feet':)
PS: I got the 'narrow' and they fit perfectly w/ my orhtotics:)

Help for aging feet -
I have arthritis in my feet and have trouble with a heel spur. Birks are the answer to my troubles--I can walk in them and my feet don't hurt as much. I like my new Boston clogs because they help keep my feet warm. Casual or dressy (well, as dressy as Birks can get!) they look fine. I order the next smaller size than my regular shoe size in Birks.

Been wearing these for many years.
I wear a 38N although I wear an 8 1/2 shoe. This is due to the way they fit my feet. The only time I went larger was for the London which is completely enclosed. This shoe along with the Arizona sandal also with the original footbed are my standbys for winter and summer. A narrow equates with a B. Also, prefer suede as it is softer.

Great for anatomical reasons!
These Birks are amazing if you have any orthopedic health condition having to do with your stance. I was in a car wreck and fractured my hip. As soon as I put these on I could feel the pressure melt away! I can't wait until they are broken in so I can enjoy them to the max. The only thing is they are 2 sizes larger than marked. I'm normally a 10 - 10.5 shoe size which is listed as 43 with Birkenstocks. However, I wear a 41 in Birks, which they list as 8 - 8.5.
If you're a guy then I would go for regular instead of narrow unless you have really narrow feet. When I look at my feet I see narrow, but when I tried narrow Birks they were too constricting. Thanks Zappos for your awesome service; I had them in 24 hours.

Boston -
This was gift for my granddaughter. Her first Birkenstocks. Although I sell them, the size was not available there and it came faster from you. She loves it and has worn it daily. It fits well, she has a wide foot and a little pronation, too, so it works well for her. Birkenstocks are great if you have a correct fit and size. Availability is important and no one does it better then Zappos.

Great shoes -
These are the best shoes I have ever owned. I have/had 4 pairs of the real ones. My feet have grown so got different sizes. Started with taupe and brown but then bought a black pair. Now I have a new brown pair. I would recommend sizing down at least a half size, maybe even a whole size. They run big. I also have bought a few pairs of the fake ones...they're good but nothing compares to the real ones! Great shoe, and guys and girls wear them in my school all the time in the fall/spring/winter.
