Best shoes ever - I believe I have 14 pairs of these shoes. Not all from Zappos, but the last 4 or 5 pairs were bought were. I have narrow feet and have never been more comfortable. What I like best buying from Zappos is no shipping and handling charges and if necessary returns are free also. I would strongly recommend Birkenstock’s. Zappos prices are usually priced lower than stores and never higher.

Boston Bliss - I have Plantar Fasciitis, in one of my feet and fallen arches in both. Wide width and a broken baby toe, couple all that with a high instep and you have my situation. Buying shoes is a nightmare with all of these issues - UNLESS YOU GO BIRK! - If you have back pain, check your shoes - its the leading cause of lower back problems - The Boston is a true Birk (so order down 1 size if you buy Birkis, Papillo or Tatami) The footbed will mold to your foot - and your problems will be lessened - or erased in saome cases. Birkenstock really needs to make more "dress styles" for work, but a Birk London, or the new Meadsuede Mary Jane are a great start (I just bought both from Zappos.com) I cant say enough good things about this shoe. Quality construction - the ability to be re-done from an authorized Birk repair shop - and the end of foot pain. I always buy from Zappos, so I can try and decided - when you have to send them back - Zappos takes them back for free- you have nothing to lose but foot pain!

I love these clogs!!! These are awesome shoes. I'm all about comfort, but I also think the look of the Bostons is really cute. I'm a photographer and full time mom, so I need a shoe with real support and these shoes have it. They definitely run large in size, though. I normally wear a 7.5 - 8, which would put me in a 38-39, but I bought them in a 37 (sized for 6-6.5) regular and they fit perfectly! So keep that in mind when ordering.

No breaking in with these shoes. They felt great from the first time I wore them.

I love it! I bought this pair for my last 3 months of pregnancy and I love it! Carrying a heavy belly, I can just slip into the shoes and go. It's very comfy to walk. I am also glad that I took some of the reviews on Zappos in mind and choose the narrow width - it fits perfect even though my other shoes (i.e. from Dr. Scholl’s) are always "regular" or "wide" width.

Comfortable but made my feet turn blue! I bought these shoes in blue suede and decided to wear them the first time without socks. At the end of the day my feet were a lovely shade of blue. Thankfully, it washed off easily. The Boston is one of my favorite styles--it's so comfortable and I think they're cute in a clunky "duck feet" sort of way. My feet are very wide--probably an E or EE; but I can wear the regular width in the Boston.

I had mine for 13 years! It's almost impossible to wear these shoes out, or to get tired of them! I bought my first pair of Birkenstock's Boston in 1992, and wore them exclusively every summer until 1997. Then I finally broke down and bought another pair of summer shoes, so that I could have some variety. I still mostly wore my "Birks" though, if the weather permitted it. In 2000 as they started to show a little more wear and tear, they became my indoor slippers. They were just WAY TO COMFORTABLE to get rid of. Finally in 2005, the soles at the front had been worn down to next to nothing, and I had to say good-bye. ): They were probably the best shoes I ever owned!

Birkenstocks - I am extremely happy with the new Birkies. I would advise getting the next size smaller than recommended by your size chart. One of the reviewers made that recommendation and I am glad I did it.

Love my Birks - I have worn Birks since I was in JR High a long long time ago. They are the best shoe-sandal out there for sore tired feet. They do take getting used to. They work your toes and shins. Once that has passed your feet will love you forever.

I wear Birkenstocks exclusively; from clogs, sandals and shoes. Pricey, but worth it. I have fallen arches and this is the only brand that relieves my foot pain.

I love Birkis - I ordered this shoe in a 37 because that's what the manufacturer suggested for my 6-6 & 1/2 sized foot... I checked this site and many others to make sure it was correct, but, alas, when I received it, it was HUGE! I ended up going to a Birkenstock store in the area and had my foot measured and it turned out I needed a 36 narrow. I love them though! I would go a size smaller if you buy them!

Great shoe! I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and Birkenstocks are the only thing that releive my heel pain. These are a nice winter addition to my growing collection. Thank you Zapppos for excellent customer service yet again and for carrying my hard to find size 35!

Fabulous! I wear a size 9-9.5 ordinarily. I have a medium width foot. I always order a size 40R in Birkenstocks and the Boston clog is no exception. They fit fabulous and look great. Birkenstocks aren't for everyone. Fashionistas may feel they look like duck feet. For me, they are super cool and don't look like you are trying to be cool. Best of all, they feel great! Zappos is the absolute best place to order any style shoe. Excellent customer service. VERY fast shipping. Thanks so much!!

Very Nice Shoe - Bought these for my daughter. She loves the fit and feel for the show. They wear very well. We went with a darker color to reduce potential for showing wear.

These were purchased for my son - he found them very comfortable - he has a wide foot - the regular width was a good match but if your foot is medium or narrow I would suggest going with the narrow... and the sizing is on the generous side...almost like slippers as far as comfort - A GREAT CHOICE!!

Love this pair of Birks - I usually wear the sandals, but I wanted a pair of the clogs for Xmas, my Mom ordered them, they are great. At first I didn’t like the black that she picked, but after wearing them, they look great!! They just needed to break in to get the right look. Great Shoes.

My "dress" Birkies! I love the way this shoe fits! It has a slightly higher arch and is slightly more narrow than my Arizonas. I find that I do not get fatigued walking and standing, and it has a "dressier" appearance than the Arizonas. I love them both, but this is my favorite, and my definite choice if I am going to be on my feet for an extended period of time.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. They are lightweight and comfortable and look great with dress pants or jeans. I tend to wear thicker socks with these shoes, although you can wear thin socks. There is a lot of arch support which may take some getting used to. They're great for wearing around the house or for walking around town. I love these shoes and plan on always having a pair!

True fit - I ordered the narrow even though I thought how could this fit if I took a medium but it is true to size. Great service too.

Birkenstock Boston - I own the Birkenstock Boston in brown and recently bought it in black. The brown ones are extremely comfortable but the new black ones are not comfortable at all. The footbed does not fit my foot well.

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.

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.
