Feel great! My first pair of Birks. I bought the model with extra arch support, and have loved the fit and comfort. I have plantar fascitis and a wide foot, and these have worked well for me. I'm now a Birk fan.

Birkenstock are THE BEST - There is no doubt, Birkenstock shoes are the best! They are simply awesome! I am happy to see young girls finally wear them here in the USA, but don't be fooled! They are not made that well. I guess for a teen it would be ok since they change shoe styles a lot (and not everyone can afford the high price), but if you know you love this kind of shoe, go with the original! You won't regret it!

Very comfortable - I have trouble finding shoes that fit my foot; I have wide foot and a high arch. I've tried a lot of shoes and these were one of the few that actually felt comfortable for a whole day.

Great with Socks - The Birkenstock Boston is a very comfortable shoe. I typically wear a 10 to 10 & 1/2 medium width shoe. I purchased the Boston in a 41 narrow and found it to be a little too wide for my feet. This was fine with me because I had planned to wear it with heavy-knit socks. With heavy-knit socks, the fit is perfect.

Birkenstock Boston - This is a long-time favorite slip-on shoe. I prefer the regular leather, not Nubuck. I buy this shoe again, year after year.

At last... I have found a shoe that doesn't leave me dreading getting out of bed in the morning. I have Plantar Fasciitis in my left foot and have worn an arch support insert for the last 7-8 months and it was really ineffective. The insert provided some support but it’s nothing compared to the Birkenstock’s that I just bought this weekend. I’ll only keep a pair of black dress shoes for formal occasions but from now on I’ll only be wearing Birkenstocks. I can’t believe that it took me so long to find this brand. My feet were uncomfortable the first couple days but it was nothing compared to the pain of getting out of bed in the morning before. I find myself looking for a reason to walk somewhere now. The difference can be felt everywhere, in my posture, in my legs and definitely my feet. What a pair of miracle shoes!

My Boston Birk Purchase - I LOVE the look of the Boston Birk. Since I wear Birks almost exclusively, I knew the fit would be perfect--and it is! The reason I wear Birks is because they are SOOOOOOO comfortable. Lastly, I purchase from Zappos because their customer service is A-#1! They are quick to ship and offer very competitive prices.

Fabulous! I absolutely love these shoes... I am a teenager so I wear these all the time... especially with jeans and cords. They are so comfy and they look good with everything. I love these shoes!

Fantastic fit and good looking!!!!! I ordered these shoes for my daughter and since she has received them, she is yet to wear another, except for on the days that she has gym. She has also requested the black pair...and believe me the Birks were a hard brand to sell to her. Both of us are completely satisfied. Thanks Zappos for the great customer service.

Good for standing - I have been a teacher for 30 years and all those years of standing have taken a toll on my arches and ankles. These are the only shoes that get me through my day.

Love my Birkies! Having spent way too much money on other shoes (Finn comfort, Quarks, Danskos, to name a few) for working 12 shifts on my feet as a nurse, I am happy to say that I have come full circle back to the shoes I started out wearing 8 yrs ago. I NEVER had foot issues when I work my Birkenstocks. My feet are once again happy and I can walk with ease. From now on I will stick with what works best!

Great clogs!!! I really love the Boston. I bought them in black leather. I have worn Birkenstocks but never this style. I have seen these for years and was always taken with them. I will wear these with a simple pair of black Levis and a really gorgeous and luxurious cashmere sweater in the winter and a soft, soft John Smedley cotton top in the spring and summer, with a simple exotic skin belt.

The best shoes - I love wearing my Birkenstocks. They are so awesome. I feel like a rich person. My feet love them and I am considering getting another pair just to wear when I am not working. They are as comfortable as they look and worth the money.

Birkenstock Boston High Arch - A nice looking and very comfortable, stable clog. I love the arch support in this shoe! I generally wear a size M11 (44) but find size M10 (43) Birkenstocks fit me better. I would prefer more strap holes for a snugger fit but after "customizing" mine with a leather punch am now very happy with the fit. This was my first Zappos purchase and I am very pleased with their performance. Happy shoe shopping! :)

Love Those Birkenstock Boston - I'm a Nurse who works 12 hour shifts. Regular nursing shoes made my feet and legs hurt terribly after only 3 hours of walking on concrete floors. My first pair of Birkenstock's was sandals I purchased 3 years ago. The day they arrived at my mother's house I tried them on to break them in. Unfortunately, my feet started to swell and I could get the shoes I had worn to her house back on. So, I had to wear my New Birkenstocks home. They "broke-in" in 2 wearings. I've been wearing them ever since. My new Boston Birkenstocks took only 2 wearings also. I'll keep on buying them and wearing them no matter what they cost.

I've had these Boston clogs for about 5 years which are my cold weather shoes (warm weather shoes are Arizona). It takes about 2 weeks to break them. They are still good to go without resole, but I'm thinking of buying them in different colors.

The Best Shoes To Work In!!! I am a nurse and I work in a busy intensive care unit. I bought a pair of these shoes 6 years ago and tonight I am wearing the same pair! I love them. I work between 12 and 16 hour shifts and my feet always feel awesome!

I've become a believer - Growing up around Germans, Birkenstocks seemed to be the staple shoe. However for as long as I can remember I hated the way they looked. It wasn't until I was feeling discomfort in my feet that I opted to give them a try. WOW! I totally get it now. The minute I put the shoes on I felt the shoe immediately mold to my foot and give me the support I had been lacking. They were too comfortable that first day, I wanted to fall asleep standing up. For anyone in need of correcting a case of "flat-feet", I HIGHLY recommend these shoes.

Awesome! The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned! I was having knee problems due to lack of arch support and decided to purchase this shoe. The support and comfort is amazing! They aren't the most attractive shoe but the function is most important now that I am in my mid forties. I would recommend them to anyone!

Saved my feet- I am over 60 and I plan to make Birkenstock Boston’s the mainstay of my shoe wardrobe. I ordered the Boston on the recommendation of a friend and my feet are thrilled. I walked ALL DAY yesterday doing some dreaded shopping and my feet did not hurt then nor this morning like they usually do.

Great shoe- Awesome service- I am a first time customer and will definitely shop here again. My shoes were shipped within hours of my order and arrived exactly when promised. I am very impressed with Zappos.com. I'm also a first time Birkenstock wearer and love them right out of the box. I have worn other cork sole shoes and these are far superior.

Timeless classic - These clogs are comfortable and give my feet the support that they need. I was wearing shoes with no arch support and my knees had begun to really hurt.I have owned Birk's before and after a short break in period they are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes/sandals/clogs on the market.
