Customer Reviews Birkenstock Professional Birki by Birkenstock - Deleted

Very comfortable - I found Zappo's to be very efficient and eager to please. I needed to switch a pair of shoes and it was no big problem. I enjoyed doing business with them and will use this site again. The shoes are top-notch and the true thing. They are quick on shipping.

Shoe Lover - I like shoes so well, when I founded this par of shoes at a garage sale I didn't know what they were. My daughter-in-law came over to visit, and saw me with them on and said, Birkenstocks' I said "what?" and she repeated "Birkenstock's!" These old thihgs, I paid twenty-five cent for them. She said thoes shoes cost eighty dollars, I been wearing them everyday since and I love them! They are very comforable they always say somebody junk is someone treasure.

Kitchen Worker @ Local Restaurant - Love the shoes and the comfort that comes with them. They stay dry, but the only problem I have so far is that they trap dirt in the grooves under the shoe and when walking in my house, I always leave the dirt here. Not good!!!

Not my favorite - I took a previous reviewers advice to fit these shoes to my feet by adding layers of felt to the insert. The shoes were very big. They now stay on my feet but I couldn't really walk a long way in them. I really should have returned them but I needed them right away and I use them mainly for standing and that works okay.

No other option - There is no other option than using Zappos for your shoe needs, and there is no other choice for comfort than birkenstock clogs. I have worked in a kitchen for 8 years on my feet 12 hours a day and I have finally found a shoe I can stay comfortable in all day.

Zappos rules - I didn't buy my Pro Clogs for looks, I bought them for barbecuing and yard work; just wipe them off and you're ready to go to the market or what have you. Zappos' customer service is absolutely second to none. Thank you

Great working shoe - I'm a registered nurse and this clog really holds up well to long hours on my feet. Lightweight and easy on and off. It's not very pretty, but comfortable. Would like to see this clog in some prettier colors or even white would be nice.

Nice kitchen shoes - I find they are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in the kitchen, and trust me I have been through a lot of pairs, and they last the longest.

Love the shoe - These are great shoes in many respects. They are a breeze to keep clean. I spent 10-12 hours a day in a commercial kitchen 5-6 days a week. I have 3 other pair of Burks but for what I do this is the best pair. I love Burks and they are basically the only shoe I wear. My legs don't burn and my feet don't hurt at the end of the day. They don't slip on water and I like the look. Your feet do tend to sweat a little more. I have worn them with and without socks. At the end of the day the socks come off. Both ways are fine. I didn't notice an odor with the extra sweating. I possess hobbit feet, very wide and flat. The shoes fit me great. I didn't order a size down like other reviews suggested, that was the right choice. If your feet are exta wide and tend to swell order your normal size.

Big Big but comfortable after a cheap fix - I had a friend deliver these to me in Mexico for the rainy season, but although I ordered my regular Birk size, they turned were WAY too big. With no way to return them, I thought putting ordinary shoe inserts in would help. It didn't, because the Birk sole is shaped so different. Then I remembered a large piece of black felt I had. I removed the Birk insole and traced around it then cut out my custom insoles. I lightly rubber-cemented layers of felt together until the shoe fit perfectly when my custom insole was inserted under the birk insole. After wearing for an hour or so, I removed both insoles and checked areas where my custom insole was a bit too wide or long. The solution was incredible. The felt molds to the shape of your foot, like the Birkenstock. If you have one foot that is larger, you can use one less layer or two of felt. It adds additional support and cushioning without being spongy.

Luv My Birkie Professionals - Great shoe. I wear them inside/outside and in the garden. So far, my feet are very comfortable and smiling.

Great purchase - I ordered 2 sizes smaller than what I normally wear, and it was a perfect fit. I am a chef, and the shoes mean a great deal. They are super comfortable and extra tough. I recommended them to all my friends and will continue to buy them myself for a long time.

Need whites- Grreat fit. Need white for nurses. We can not wear the black, blue, brown.

Great for yard work. Easy on and off. Easy to clean. Comfortable

Don't waste your money! I bought a pair of Birkenstocks after hearing co workers rave about them. I was very dissappointed that they never felt comfortable, my arches constantly ached, and my feet became very painful and sore. The shoes failed in less than 4 months, and split to the center cork. I took them back to the reputable Birkenstock Dealer where I had purchased them, they then in turn sent the shoes back to the factory, I expected to at least get either a new pair of shoes of my choice from the line or at least get some kind of reimbursement, but their customer service was horrible, even though I had not abused the shoes, and had only worn them for my work as a nurse. I will never again waste my money on anything from Birkenstock, and would recommend that others do the same. Very Very Poor customer service!!!!!!

The shoes look very comfortable and easy to break in...they are a full size bigger than I expected, but for standing they are great, walking around constantly is another matter until the clog is mastered.

These shoes are very comfortable but they definitely run a full size bigger. I didn’t believe other reviews and ordered my regular size, then ordered one size smaller, which still seemed a little loose on me, so I ordered two sizes smaller. While the shoe that was two sizes smaller fit okay, I could definitely tell they were not right for me because (if you know Birkenstocks) the insert is formed to fit your instep and toes, and the insert was definitely not lining up for me. I sent the two others back and settled on the shoe that is one size smaller and have been happy ever since. Also, I was hoping to wear these shoes without socks, but have found they fit better and are more comfortable with socks. Keep in mind that these are not running shoes; they are for standing in the kitchen or doing other things that are not going to require sprinting around. I ordered the blue ones and some friends made fun and called them Smurf shoes. I took it as a compliment.

Unfortunately, I had to return the clogs, as they were about one size too large. I was a bit surprised, as in the past my shoe size has not varied. The only reason I gave the comfort and overall appearance 3 stars was simply because they were too big. However, I am certain had I ordered the right size my evaluation would be different. I am a chef, so they would work perfectly in a professional kitchen.

After reading all the reviews I finally bought a pair. I'm and professional Chef and I’m on my feet longer that I care to admit. True, buy one full size smaller; but I have to say that these clogs are very wide. I have the clog shuffle thing down but still find that my feet swim in these. They would be great if they had more cushioning. I own another pair of pro-style clogs (not Birkenstocks) and they are heads above these for comfort. They will be my back-up shoes in the kitchen.

I wear my Birkenstock Professional Clogs everyday to work at my restaurant. I am a chef and I am always looking for a comfortable shoe to wear. Now that I have tried the Birkenstock Professional Clog, my search for a comfortable work shoe is over. I recommend this shoe to anyone in the food service industry in need of a comfortable shoe that supports your arch and does not slide.

Perfect Gift - My daughter needed shoes for work and I knew the size. The fit was perfect!

There is nothing better than the Birkinstock Professional clog when it comes to working in a kitchen. 14 hour days without sore feet or legs and at the end of the shift you can send the shoes through the dish machine. Average life of these shoes for me is 2 years. This is pair number four for me, and I will never switch as long as they keep making them.

Chef - I have been wearing my Birkies for around 15 months for 6 days a week, 10 hours a day. I have worn boots, shoes and I find these are just THE most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. My feet are never sore, like they used to be. I endorse these shoess 100% and push for all my apprentises to buy them. I never slip, never slide, and can hose them off when they get dirty. You can't get better shoes. Race down and buy them now!

Didn't finish the shift - Well these are the best contender to my old sling-back Burkies, but they don't give as much as leather so in about 6 hrs, my couple of hammer toes wouldn't let me wear then another minute. So, they will be great around the house, garden, maybe shopping, but not for a 12 hr shift...

The shoe is great, but is a bit large. We're going to try big socks.
