    Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to width

    I had been having planter fasciitis pain. Numerous specialists, expensive orthotics and a year of physical therapy only partially relieved the pain. I received a pair of Birkenstock felt clogs that wore around the house as slippers. No pain. I am teacher and stand most of the day. I have two pairs of the Birkenstock Boston, one in brown and the other in an olive green. I changed my life. I am a wide width and the regular was fine.

    Zappos is the best I have shopped at Zappos for a long time and the service is tops. Love the shoes. They run about a size bigger than your regular size so order down. I am a 71/2 regular width in these I ordered a 37 regular width which is about a 6 or 6 1/2 according to Birkenstock. Highly recommend these to anyone who loves Birkenstock shoes.

    You just can't be Birkenstock! These are awesome the color is great. I like that even though it's not smooth leather, it doesn't show scratches or marks the way nubuck does. The fit is perfect right out of the box. Best of all since I live in the midwest I can place an order at lunch and being wearing the shoes the next afternoon. Zappos rocks!

    About Birkenstock

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Birkenstock are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    Birkenstock® USA, began over 30 years ago when the founder, Margot Fraser, had a dream of sharing the comfort and health benefits of Birkenstock shoes. A few years earlier, while visiting a German resort, she had tried on her first pair and was extremely impressed at how good they felt. From there, Margot learned that the original Birkenstock contoured footbed was invented and manufactured in Germany by Konrad Birkenstock in 1897. In fact, the Birkenstock family has been shoemakers for over 225 years - more than two centuries of creating and perfecting a tradition of walking comfort.

    Birki's® was founded in the early 90's by Stephan Birkenstock. The goal was to create stylish sandals that were not only good for you but also something to show off. All Birki's shoes and sandals are made in Germany using environmentally-friendly processes and proven craftsmanship.

    Most Birkenstock and Birki's footbeds are crafted from a cork-latex mixture. The cork used is 100% renewable and sustainably harvested from the Oak tree. The harvesting of the cork does not harm the Oak tree and allows for new bark to grow back, beginning the life cycle all over again. Each contoured footbed molds and shapes to your foot with the heat of your body creating a custom footbed that supports and cradles each and every step. For the customer that wants a cushioned footbed, they can now enjoy the soft footbed that is offered by Birkenstock shoes and Birki's shoes. Available in a variety of styles, the time-tested cork construction has been enhanced with a layer of memory foam.

    Start your child off on the right foot with Birkenstock Kids shoes and Birki's Kids shoes. Children need footwear that is good for their growing feet. The contoured footbed supplied by Birkenstock Kids shoes and Birki's Kids shoes mirrors the natural shape of the foot, offering excellent support. Birkenstocks Kids shoes and Birki's Kids shoes are created according to the daily needs of children. Many styles available in the Birkenstock Kids and Birki's Kids line can be purchased in the adult version.

    A large portion of Birkenstock shoes and Birki's shoes is completely repairable and renewable, reducing the potential for tons of waste to be dumped in landfills each year. From old favorites in fresh colors to new styles and materials, you can easily reuse and refresh your Birkenstock shoes and Birki's shoes for years to come.

    These shoes are great! I can work a 12 hour shift in them and my feet won't be sore at all. I ordered the narrow size but I wear medium in most shoes. The narrow fits me perfect.

    My daughter wanted a pair of Birkenstock's for her birthday. We ordered the shoes and they arrived JUST 2 DAYS LATER, NO SHIPPING COSTS! She wore the shoes for about a month and they began to show more wear and tear than would be expected for that quality of shoe based on the cost. I called Zappos and they replaced the shoes at no charge and with no shipping cost, and again, we received the replacement pair in just 2 days.

    I have been eyeing Birkenstock clogs for years and have always wanted a brownish color, but just couldnâ??t find the right brown. Finally I found the right color from Zappos! I bought this shoe in Peat Antique Leather and itâ??s perfect! I love the â??wornâ?? look this shoe gets after a few wears and the leather is so soft. This is my first pair of Birkenstock clogs and I was a bit skeptical at first because they felt like I was wearing shoe boxes on my feet, but then I read what you should do before committing to wearing them for a long time. Now I am in love as they have begun molding to my feet and I feel like Iâ??m wearing slippers. I ordered a narrow 39 in this shoe even though I donâ??t consider myself to have narrow feet (Iâ??m a true 8.5). Apparently a narrow in this shoe is A-B width and regular width is C-D and all my shoes are B width so I went with narrow and Iâ??m glad I did as I feel the regular width would flop off my feet. These shoes fit snug, just the way I want them to fit.

    I love Birkenstocks. I had the same style 30 years ago! They run very small though. I wear a size 7, which is a 38. It was way too big. So was the 37. I ended up getting size 36, which fits great. Very comfortable. I recommend them, but beware of sizing if you are a first time buyer.

    Birkenstocks are not a great risk, the footbed had been similar for years, and the fit is always great. A little widish with a great arch - that is what you go to Birks for. This closed-toe model is really great for winter car-office-very light snow schlepping. The arch support is second-to-none, and they do not look totally nerdy cause the toe is closed. If you wear them with pants no one will know you are wearing sandals. If you wear them with a skirt or dress you will be laughed at. As with all Birks, the kick off, slide on is really swell. Oddly, several people have commented that my shoes were a great color - I always wear these sensible-type shoes and was surprised by that. But they are a really nice color and finish - not shiny new looking. I needed these for a flare-up of plantar whatever-the-heck, and wanted to have basically winter-weight sandals. They don't disappoint. It is cold and snowy where I roam, and I can't wear these on a real snow day (turn back to my Keens for that). But lots of my world is trekking from car to office, so they work perfectly for that.

    I usually wear a different style of Birkenstock (Rosemead), but I decided to try these out for a change. They are just as about as comfortable as my favorite style, but I think these fit much better for me when worn with medium weight socks because I have narrow to medium width feet.\r\n-Super fast shipping--I ordered these in the wee hours of the morning and they arrived the next afternoon!

    Purchased these for my wife's birthday as she requested. Zappos delivered super fast. The shoes were exactly as ordered and my wife loves them. I think they look great on her. She claims they are the most comfortable shoes she has ever worn. I highly recommend Zappos and will continue to shop there. Their free shipping is a big bonus.

    These shoes are a perfect addition to my wardrobe! I wanted a pair of shoes that I could wear to work and on the weekend. The peat color matches just about everything I have - blacks, grays, browns. The arch support is great in these shoes. I am on my feet all day and my legs or feet don't hurt after work.

    I absolutely love these shoes! I have had cheaper clogs before, and they are not nearly as durable or comfortable. These Birkenstocks are definitely worth every penny! Zappos service is also great; I got them the day after I ordered them.

    Bought these to help relieve plantar fasciitis in both feet, could not be more pleased. Within a week they've broken in and feel like they were custom-made for my fallen arches. Perfect shoe for wearing around the house and I've taken to wearing them everywhere else, too. They do run large, best to go down a size. I wear a mens 11 and went with the size 43, which fits perfectly. As always Zappos comes through with fast & helpful service.
