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.

My husband loves the shoes; he wears them to work everyday. Zappos is outstanding; they sent me an email saying that they were going to upgrade me to one day shipping. These shoes last awhile, great quality, great price.

I love these Birk's they are so comfortable, I wear them every chance I get. My feet thank Birkenstock and Zappos. Now if Birkenstock could create a men's dress shoe that is just as comfortable I would buy them instantly.

I am constantly in heels during the workweek and bought these for comfort this fall. The fit is perfect and since I wear a 5 I needed the size 35-which is difficult to come by in the stores. The mocha color is gorgeous and Zappo\'s shipping keeps me motivated to continue to shop.

I've worn Birks, almost exclusively, for the better part of 20 years. Year round, except in the snow, or on a hike (but sometimes even then). The Boston is my everyday-teaching-on-my-feet-a lot shoe and I'll switch to another pair when I get home. For other times, and especially during the Summer, the Arizona is great. My only wish is that Birkenstock would offer more style/color choices for those of us with enormous feet.

I love birks! These are my very 1st pair; I received them the day after I ordered them!!!! These clogs are soooo comfortable and true to size that I just ordered another pair in a different color! Thank you Zappos for the wonderful service and your great customer service, I tell everyone I know about Zappos, and it is the only place I will buy shoes!!!

My Husband's Shoes :)
I ordered these shoes for my husband. He has worn Birkenstock for years so he knew he would like them. After being treated fairly rudely in a local Birkenstock store :(, I told my husband that I knew exactly where we'd get his shoes from: Zappos!!! For superior service, you can't beat you guys!!! :) And OF COURSE, I was right...Hahahaha! Anyway, he loves them!

A Foots best Friend.
The brand new Birks. Slipped on my feet like old friends. No breaking in, no warm ups... The fit is excellent and the narrow width was perfect. My third pair of Boston's and I hope they continue making such a reliable product... I'm off to Europe in them. Thanks Zappos for making shoe purchases so very easy... Sue of the Northwoods.

Love 'em.
Always loved Birks, but wore the open Arizona. First pair of Bostons and there are great. Once they mold to your feet, you are in heaven.

Best money spent -
I love these shoes! They look great with jeans or dress pants and since they mold to your feet, it's like walking barefoot. The comfort level is incredible and they are so easy to wear. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for something easy to wear and very comfortable. Definitely a shoe that will last a lifetime.

I Like my "birkies". Repeat user for years. Keep it simple. "Arizona" for summer and "Boston" for winter. Closest to wearing nothing. Can wear them all day. It's all about comfort.

My FAVORITE shoe -
I've owned a pair of Birkenstock Boston’s for four years now, and they're my favorite shoes! I wear them all the time and they're so comfortable, although it's true it does take more than a week to break them in. The suede hasn't shown too much wear. The only complaint I have is that I had to replace the sole a couple years ago because it was wearing through to the cork at the heel. Also, I usually wear around a 40, but I have this shoe in a 38 and I'm happy with the size (even with socks).

The best but not for me.
I ordered these shoes because I like them. Recently, I have developed a lot of foot problems. I need a lot of room in the toe area. Unfortunately, they weren't high enough or wide enough for me. I gave them to my daughter who only takes them off to go to bed. A happy ending.

My sister has had a pair of Birks just about forever. Although she raves about them constantly (they are almost the only shoes she wears) and I had heard good things about Birkenstocks from other people, I hesitated to buy any because the ones I've seen always seemed far too wide for my feet. Thanks to Zappos, I discovered they come in a narrow size as well, which I purchased as recommended, and that makes all the difference. They fit beautifully and are incredibly comfortable to walk in. I wish I'd bought mine years ago! I received them sooner than expected too. Thanks Zappos! I've bought shoes here before, and I'll definitely be back for more. Beats going to the mall anytime.

Nice shoe -
I bought this shoe originally because I needed a wide toe box. I have worn Birks in the past, and liked them, but found them to be uncomfortable when standing for long periods of time, which I found to be true with these the first time I wore them. However, they seem to be getting better the more I wear them. I believe the foot bed actually conforms to the shape of your foot as you wear them over time. So I am pleased with this shoe for the most part. Good arch support and I love the style!

Birkenstock Boston -
I've been wearing my Birks since the day I got them. They are so comfortable and I can wear them anywhere. They were marked as being a size 8-8.5, and being a size 8, they do fit a little big but that makes it so that I can wear them barefoot in the summer and with thick socks underneath in the winter.

My husband wanted a replacement for this same shoe he bought 11 years ago. Same shoe! Hope this pair lasts as long!

The green suede leather is very cool looking. The arch support is great.

My daughter bought the Bostons to take to college in the dark gray. She liked the ease and style for college life, therefore, I bought the chocolate leather for her for Valentine's Day. Less calories than Godiva and better for her health.

Paradise at last!!!
Birkenstocks are the best. I have finally accepted the fact that my back and feet hate heels and bought a pair (now I own many). I'm so happy that I did. Plantar fasciitis is getting better and heel spurs no longer bother me. What more does a person need??

Any of the birkenstock line.

You'll wear them at every opportunity -
Exceptionally comfortable and well-made. I prefer my Boston’s for cool weather, and switch to Arizona’s or Zurich for warmer seasons. I'm on my third pair of Boston’s, and I've loved every one.
