Love these shoes! I am already a Birkenstock fan & having these for work gives me comfort without exposed toes. I have worn them every day since I got them!

This is my fourth pair of Birki's through the years. I had a dog who kept chewing the left shoe twice. Too bad they didn't choose the other one to mix it up, I would have had a matched pair. They are wonderfully comfortable. Very durable, mind you they are not dog proof. I have worn these around the farm for years when I lived in the country. They hose off so nice. I prefer to wear mine with socks, but they really do well either way. I am going to start to wear my new pair to work, with long pants I don't think anyone would care, I work at a semi casual office. I have low back problems and these have always been wonderfully supportive. I love my Birki's. If you are on the fence, I hope I can convince you to get a pair, too. They will make your feet as happy as mine.

These shoes are not as cushiony as my Crocs, but they gave me better back support. I found that switching between Crocs one day and Birkis the next was a good blend. My lower back felt much better after a day on my feet with the Birkis, but my toes felt better with Crocs.

These shoes are great. This is the second pair I've owned. The first finally wore out after 10+ years of service in my garden. Washable, comfortable, all of the great support that Birkenstock offers. Highly recommended.

These are my second pair in 10 or so years...and I just bought them as a backup. I am still wearing my first pair. Great shoe for mucking about in the yard, taking the dog out at night and everything in between. I love these shoes!

I was skeptical of Birki clogs because they felt too stiff and roomy at first, but after one full day on the quarry tile floors at work (I\'m a chef), I was sold. My lower back feels significantly better and my feet aren\'t sore at night! I would still say they\'re quite wide, and the arch support is moderate.

Super-Birkis are an excellent alternative to Birki-Pros. I really like the extra support of the cork based footbed in the Supers as opposed to the thinner plastic based one in the Pros. The only negative thing I can say is that the Supers are not made for wide feet. I found that ordering the Supers one size larger than what I had in Pros worked well, though they require extra \'break-in\' time for the footbed to get comfortable.

This is the 3rd pair of Super-Birki’s I've purchased. The footbeds usually last me 1 year, whereas the outsole varies by use and my diligence in cleaning them every night. In a heavy kitchen environment (live fire, wood splitter, heavy lifting) the outsoles last a year, and I stretched their lifetime out by taping the inside with duct tape to reinforce the spots that were cracking. For light use (deli, pizza, coffee shop) the outsoles last substantially longer-3-5 years. I prefer these to leather clogs because they wash in the dishwasher, and they'll take a Sani-Safe knife without cutting. If I dropped my Damascus steel blade on them it would probably go right through though! I wear a 10.5 4E and this clog fits. It's not perfect, but definitely better than your typical medium width shoe.

These feel more stable and supportive than regular Birks. I have plantar fasciitis and I usually can only wear Dansko (and preferably the high-arched professional stapled clog) if I\'m not wearing shoes with orthotic arch support inserts. I decided to try these because I want something lighter than my Danskos and better for mucking about in the yard. These are great. Regular Birks don\'t fully control my over-pronation, but these seem to.\r\n\r\nThe only reason I didn\'t give it 5 stars for comfort is that you simply cannot run in these, not even for a few steps. I had to dash after my toddler, and it hurt something on top of my foot, quite a bit. I may end up using these as house slippers and stick with lace-up running shoes for outside with the kids.

Perfect if you had foot surgery so your foot slips right on easily. It's roomy on top and wide enough for swollen feet. After my foot healed, it's very roomy so it goes on loose but if your feet swell on hot days then it would be fine to wear these shoes too! I think these shoes would be great for those with wide feet. The inner sole comes out if you want to wash and dry out. One drawback, it can be a bit stiff and heavier than wearing Crocs.

Very stiff plastic feel to the shoe and very uncomfortable. Hard inner sole. Can't imagine how these could be good for your feet, particularly if you're standing all day as most chefs do.

I love these shoes ! I'm a hospital worker and they are perfect for standing long hours. I wear a size 9 and the 39 works well. So easy to locate just the right Birki with Zappos and have them delivered to the front door. Also - I had a rare incident with the delivery of my Birki's. They were delivered by UPS to the wrong home. Zappos replaced them for me immediately. When my neighbor returned the first delivered pair - I was able to return them to Zappos - no charge. Service is excellent - these shoes are just what I wanted. Can't ask for more.

Great shoes. I have foot problems (arthritis and heel spur). The Birkenstock clog makes life a little bit easier.

I love these shoes. They are one of the most practical Birkenstocks I have owned. They are very comfortable with socks, and best of all they are water resistant.

Being that I work in a blood center and on my feet for 8 hours I was looking for a shoe that was comfortable. My crocs were getting old and weren't that comfortable. So I decided to try these Birkis. Best move I've ever made. These areso comfortable to stand in and my feet don't hurt at the end of the night. In fact, I almost hate wearing other shoes now.

I ordered these because I couldn't stand coming home from work with my feet killing even one more day. My feet are still getting accustomed to having support at work so they are still quite sore on long days. I do wish they were more slip resistant than they are because I have almost bit the dust a couple of times. The fact that I can run them through the dishwasher is great to remove the restaurant funk! No more smelly shoes! In the end I am happy with my purchase. I might look for a more perfect shoe for my next work shoe purchase, however, I may not find one that covers all my needs, slip resistant, supportive, and slip-on. Good investment. Go ahead and purchase these if you have been debating if they are worth the money.

Great experience. I ordered the wrong size. I reordered the correct size the night I received the first pair and received free upgrade to express shipping. I received a label for the original return and dropped it off at the post office. Everything was easy

Contrary to other reviewers opinions, I ordered these 'Birkis' because I thought they looked like clogs are supposed to look. I started wearing clogs (with wooden soles) back in the late '60s. These are more primal looking than the 'pimped up' ones you see today. I wondered if these expensive Croc-like clogs wouldn't be more comfortable than my $20 Crocs + $7 Dr. Scholls inserts. They came, I tried them on, I sent them back. Stick with Crocs. Of course, they were prettier than my black Crocs.

The Super Birki is my new replacement for my worn Crocs which used to be terrific but are now manufactured in overseas and stink. As an RN working 13 hour shifts love the roomy toe box, the stability, and the quality German construction of the clog. The cork footbed is not soft enough for me and I added a Scholl’s gel insert which is heaven. Wish Birki’s would make a soft Birki insert.

I've got 3 pairs of these Super Birkies. I absolutely love them. I wear them everywhere, even to church. They are the most comfortable of clogs that I have ever owned. I highly recommend to any who has trouble with their feet. I have RA and fibromyalgia and these clogs really help me to walk better.

I am a physician working long hours at the hospital and at the office. I bought these Birkis in 1999 and have worn them during my long hours in residency. They are super light, much lighter than the Danskos I used to wear, and I am replacing them for the first time now - 10 yrs later!!! (Only because a small wear hole has developed at the big toe.) I love them.

AWESOME SHOE -
I have been through many pairs of shoes in the kitchen. First off I usually need to buy an arch support with all of them. I don't like shoes for crews, which most people like. They don't last long at all. These are by far the best shoe ever. And Zappos shipping is sooooooo fast!

One year on...
I am a baker and I was blowing through two or three pairs of crocs a year before I found these puppies. I spend about 50-60 hours a week on poured cement and bad linoleum floors carrying 50 pound bags of flour or dough. While it did take a bit to break in the foot bed I think that they are possibly the best things to have happened to me (workwear wise) since the invention of shorts. Having fewer days with sore feet is a luxury and I appreciate that there is a company like Birki’s that cares about its customers enough to provide a shoe that is this substantial with a replaceable foot bed. The shoes themselves are in great shape and I have only had to replace the foot bed recently. A little hint, the Profi-Birki foot bed fits into this shoe and I have found them to be both more comfortable and more durable than the one that comes with it. Finally, I have to say that being able to toss these into the dishwasher or washing machine to get them sparkling clean is a huge plus. Way to go Zappos for carrying this awesome work shoe.
