Hard Heel - I loved the width and depth of the toe box - I have wide feet with bunions. But I am sadly returning this shoe as the back side pitches in and rubs the sides of my heels. If this shoe were less expensive I would use moleskin or bandaids - maybe next time.

Love this shoe! This is a cute, stylish shoe. Very soft leather although not much arch support. I need to buy wide shoes and it is often difficult to find something that has some style to it. This shoe fits the bill.

Ros Hommerson - Shoes by this designer fit my foot very well and are quite comfortable since the first wearing. Since I have some foot problems this is quite unusual for me to be able to say.

Like not wearing shoes - I usually buy suede for something my feet have to endure for eight hours or more, but these were comfortable on the very first wearing. The style is versatile, they are dressed up enough to wear with a "lawyer" suit - but cute with pants. I'm thinking about buying another pair.

Love the Hardrock - I have wide feet and it can be difficult to find attractive and comfortable shoes that don't pinch. These shoes are very attractive on my foot and are actually wide enough. The footbed could use some padding and there was room to add a little arch support for more comfort. I would say this shoe runs a little bit large but because there is soft elastic in the heel area, there is no problem with slippage. I love this shoe and would certainly buy it again.

Had hoped to wear these barefoot, but there's rough spots where the side meets the vamp. Otherwise it seems okay.

Very cute, comfortable flat for summer - This shoe is so comfortable. The open toe fits nicely, without cutting into my toe. These are almost like being barefoot, but so much cuter! Great walking shoe that will look great with skirts. Nice that they added a bit of suede in the ball of the foot, so no slipping.

My daughter loves them - I bought them for her graduation from middle school. They are not only beautiful but my daughter says it is the most comfortable pair of shoes she has ever had.

Slippery - Hardrock - Very pretty, I liked it so much; I ordered another pair in a different color.

Hardrock - I bought these in two widths. The extra wide is much too wide. And the wide is a bit snug. I'm hoping that they stretch. They are just so good looking! And wide shoes normally aren't! I will put an arch support in them.

Great work shoe. I have very high arches, and my feet would ache after nights on call in the hospital. With as much time as I spend on my feet, even running shoes with expensive inserts would not help. I purchased these, and with the first day of use I could tell a tremendous difference in how my feet felt. They're not very "cushiony", but the manner in which they conform to the unique contour or your foot makes this shoe amazing. If your feet hurt and you need to use them constantly, look no further.

The ultimate shoe for comfort and convenience! I have the kind of feet that never feel even remotely comfortable in any shoes (narrow heel, abnormal arch, etc.). When I got these shoes, I found that, like all Birks, the footbed molds to your foot, and gives you a perfect fit. I love how mine look (bright red!) but I rated them at 2 because so many people ask me if they are clown shoes, which might bother some people. I work on my feet all week long, and since I've started wearing them to work, I've had none of the aches associated with long days on my feet. Plus, they are so easy to slip on and off! Birkenstocks have a money-back guarantee, wear ‘em for a month and send them back if you don't like them, so give them a try!

A godsend shoe. I work in a coffee shop part time. I usually sit at a desk all day. The first few days of standing on my feet for 8 hours was horrible. I couldn't walk for two days. I found these shoes. I could tell a difference after the first day of wear. It does take a couple of days to start to mold the cork which means they only get better. They are a breeze to clean and the traction is great. No slips. I would recommend these to anyone who needs to be on their feet with the convenience of washing the shoes with soap and water.

Love Them! I have owned my clogs for over 3 years now. I love them. They are my favorite shoes to wear during the wet fall/winter months. They go with my simple wardrobe of jeans, sweats and legging. They are the most comfortable shoes I own (besides all my other Birkenstocks). I love to be barefoot and these shoes do the trick when it is cold and I have to protect my feet.

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!!!

Great work shoe - I'm a nurse who works 12 hour shifts, and these shoes are so comfortable I can make it all day without my feet hurting! Unbelievably durable (I'm on my second pair in 8 years) Replacable insoles are convenient.

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!
