A Comfy Shoe!
I love these shoes. I teach school and wear them every day. My feet don't hurt at all. I have fought plantar fasciitis for years and these are the only shoes that I can wear and wear without the orthodics. They are great! I normally wear a size 9 and bought the size 40. It was just right!

Birkenstock for hubby -
My husband loves these shoes! He had the same style in the birkenflor that we purchased at another store and the material split so he wanted to replace them. The price was less than anywhere else and the shoes that I purchased for him the afternoon before were delivered the next day. I would certainly recommend Zappos.

Excellent -
I purchased these shoes for my boyfriend during Valentine's Day and he literally could not love them anymore than he does. In fact, I think I'm now actually competing against his Birkenstocks for affection.

As good as advertised -
This is my first shoe of this brand. I always thought they were so wide, they looked funny on my feet. Then I read somewhere that this shoe comes in a narrow which is the usual size that is sold here in the US. So I tried a narrow and it worked. I have bunions and this is a very comfortable shoe which comes in a wide variety of colors and styles.

Very comfortable -
I'm pleased to have found a Birkenstock for narrow feet! I had never before been able to enjoy the comfort that everyone else claimed with these shoes--- they were always TOO BIG!
They are as comfy as everyone that's ever worn a pair say they are!

I am sorry that I cannot actually rate this particular pair of shoes purchased, because I bought these as a gift for my 12 year old granddaughter. This was her second pair of Birkenstock Boston's. She had outgrown her old pair. I have worn the Boston and other styles of Birkenstocks for several years and would recommend them to others.
I definitely would recommend Zappos.com to anyone interested. Their service is wonderful. I have ordered several pairs and find them an excellent company.

Great shoe -
My husband asked for these for Christmas to replace the pair he bought in Germany 11 years ago. He wore that pair all the time and thought they were starting to wear out.... Excellent quality, hope he wears this pair just as long!

I love these shoes. I bought another pair of similar Birkenstock’s years ago and it was time for a replacement. I was familiar with sizing so it was easy for me to order. When purchasing select a half size smaller. They are very comfortable. I've worn them all weekend for shopping and my feet didn't hurt.

Fabulous -
These shoes are great. They’re really comfortable and they look so cute! I’m a size seven in everything, and I ordered a 37 in these... and they were massive. I returned them and bought a 36 and they're a PERFECT FIT!

As a nurse, I spend hours on my feet. After a few days of becoming accustomed to these, it was better than a custom orthotic.

Great for work!
I work in a dental office and these make great work shoes. They are look nice and are very comfortable. I would recommend buying a size smaller than usual. I did and they fit great.

Great shoe -
Although they look a little quirky, these shoes are great to your feet. It takes a few days to get used to the level of support they give, but you'll love them afterwards. They do run a little large, so if you don't fill your shoe size completely I'd recommend buying a size smaller.

Great -
These are my first pair of Boston Birks. I love the style and fit is great. I normally wear an 8 medium in women's and am glad I took the advice of buying the narrow - the mediums would have been much too wide. The only problem I've encountered is that the leather uppers are very stiff and it is taking me awhile to break them in. I have a bad blister on the top of my foot. Other than that - they are great.

Love my new Birks -
My old Birkenstocks always felt too wide; (especially after I lost 50+ lbs) I didn't even know Birks came in a narrow width! I ordered the size I have worn for 15 or so years, except in narrow, and I love them!! I got my first Birks when I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis, and they have done wonders. I am an X-Ray Tech, and spend lots of time on my feet.

The shoe is great! I bought them for my wife and she loves them. I also got them extremely fast for this time of year.

First time Birkenstock owner -
I love my new Birkenstock Bostons. The shoe is made of top quality leather. It is very comfortable. The fit was true to size. Zappos is a great company and I will be shopping with them again. They get an A+ for quality, service, and speed. Thank you for handling such a quality and trusted shoe as the Birkenstock.

Comfortable and Stylish!
I love these shoes! I used to think Birks were ugly but once I got my pair, I realized they are the best shoes in the world! I love the way the shoe contours to my feet and makes them feel comfortable at all times. One thing a person may want to note is BUY A SIZE SMALLER! I read a review saying to do so and I did not, even though now I realized that I should have.

Looks good, is comfortable, and doesn't annoy my mom the way wearing flip-flops in fall does!

Looking for super comfort? It's here!
I needed soft, comfortable, somewhat warm shoes that I could stand on all day. My new Boston Birks are exactly what I was looking for. My only problem (very minor) was the size range. I wear a 9.5 or 10 and could only choose from a 9/9.5 or 10/10.5. I went with the larger ones. They're roomy but not unmanageable.

My sister had a pair of these and raved about them "the only shoe she ever wears". Definitely a shoe built for comfort, not so much for looks, but the style does grow on you. I plan to order another pair in another color.

Comfortable Shoes -
Not the best looking shoe, but definitely the most comfortable shoe. I waited a long time to purchase this shoe because I was unsure if I would like the way they looked once I received them. I'm really glad I did because the comfort more than makes up for any appearance shortcomings.

LOVE my Boston’s...and Florida’s!!
I have worn Birkenstock Florida sandals for years and have approximately 15 pairs...I purchased a pair of the Boston clogs about a month ago and I have now found my second love!! Very comfortable! They actually make my feet feel better after being on my feet all day. The service here is also the best!!

Love these!
I have flat feet and plantar fasciitis, and needed good supportive shoes for weekends/casual use. I love these clogs! The arches are pretty high, and since I'm flat footed, it took awhile to break in - maybe 2 weeks? They fit perfectly now. They run *very* wide, so I would estimate that a narrow in this clog is more like a medium width in other shoes.
I still wear supportive tennis shoes for long periods of time on my feet, but this is my everyday casual shoe.

Sizing for Birks-different than shoes!!!
I just wanted to share that I've worn Birks for years and I wear a 7.5 women's in sneaks (Adidas, Nike, etc) and an 8 in regular shoes and I buy a 37 in Birkenstocks (they say that's a 6-6.5 I believe). So buy about a size smaller than what you wear and I'm sure you’ll be satisfied!

Pleased -
I give them all 5 stars. This is my third pair of Birkenstock's and they're the best shoes I've ever had. A little pricey yes, but since my last pair of clogs lasted nearly 5 years, I think it's worth it. Plus Zappos did a great job for shipping my order very quickly. So far I've been very pleased with my shopping off of Zappos, keep it up!
