Love these shoes! These shoes are always great. I have a pair of the brown ones, but I'm 6 months pregnant and needed another pair of shoes without shoelaces. So comfy and the dark grey wool is very warm and goes well with jeans.

Looking for super comfort? It's here! I needed soft, comfortable, somewhat warm shoes that I could stand on all day. My new Boston Birks are exactly what I was looking for. My only problem (very minor) was the size range. I wear a 9.5 or 10 and could only choose from a 9/9.5 or 10/10.5. I went with the larger ones. They're roomy but not unmanageable.

Burks for work - I've worn these shoes since 1997 and they are always the most comfortable shoes in my closet. I also have other colors and some sandals too. Always true to size.

Feel great! My first pair of Birks. I bought the model with extra arch support, and have loved the fit and comfort. I have plantar fascitis and a wide foot, and these have worked well for me. I'm now a Birk fan.

Birkenstock are THE BEST - There is no doubt, Birkenstock shoes are the best! They are simply awesome! I am happy to see young girls finally wear them here in the USA, but don't be fooled! They are not made that well. I guess for a teen it would be ok since they change shoe styles a lot (and not everyone can afford the high price), but if you know you love this kind of shoe, go with the original! You won't regret it!

Very comfortable - I have trouble finding shoes that fit my foot; I have wide foot and a high arch. I've tried a lot of shoes and these were one of the few that actually felt comfortable for a whole day.

My sister had a pair of these and raved about them "the only shoe she ever wears". Definitely a shoe built for comfort, not so much for looks, but the style does grow on you. I plan to order another pair in another color.

Fabulous! I absolutely love these shoes... I am a teenager so I wear these all the time... especially with jeans and cords. They are so comfy and they look good with everything. I love these shoes!

Fantastic fit and good looking!!!!! I ordered these shoes for my daughter and since she has received them, she is yet to wear another, except for on the days that she has gym. She has also requested the black pair...and believe me the Birks were a hard brand to sell to her. Both of us are completely satisfied. Thanks Zappos for the great customer service.

LOVE my Boston’s...and Florida’s!! I have worn Birkenstock Florida sandals for years and have approximately 15 pairs...I purchased a pair of the Boston clogs about a month ago and I have now found my second love!! Very comfortable! They actually make my feet feel better after being on my feet all day. The service here is also the best!!

I recently purchased a pair of Adidas Duramo 4. Good fit and styling. They are very supportive and light weight. Comfortable shoes for running or on the street.

These are so solid. I was worried from the reviews that they would not be wide enough for my big size 14 feet but they are awesome.

Overall, pretty good shoe. I'm not a hardcore runner (2 miles/day) and I have yet to run with these outdoors due to the cold weather. They feel great on indoor track and treadmill and the tread still looks new. The shoe feels light and is very comfortable, but a little snug in the width. This is OK because it provides good support, but if you have wide feet, it may be an issue. I have pretty narrow feet and the medium width shoe. I tend to slide a little in other medium widths. Overall fit is good as well, but also snug. No issue for me, but if you are at the upward edge of a shoe size, you may think about moving up in size. The only thing I actually don't like is that the eyelets are not heavily reinforced. I'm noticing some stretch with the upper 2, but it looks like they'll hold. Style is a little on the bold side for me. Shiny black and blue looks a little odd with dingy sweats or shorts. I like the reflective blue on sides and back. Good idea if running in or along streets. Bottom line - I would buy another pair without hesitation.

Great shoe. After looking at every men's sneaker on the site I chose this model. The trends seem to be for gaudy, overpriced and generally flimsy shoes. Good toebox support, and reflective too. Swap the laces to tone it down. Purchased for running and squash.

Great shoe and price is reasonable. Had a pair of Duramo 3s that I liked except for the laces not being very good staying tied but with this new generation that problem seems to have been fixed. Use these as my everyday runners.

Perhaps its all Adidas, but these shoes were far too narrow for me. Great style and colors though!
