Customer Reviews Birkenstock Super Birki by Birkenstock (Unisex)

I don't know how to describe the sizing. "Felt true to size" isn't quite accurate, but we are talking about a rubber clog with a cork/linen insert, so it's not a typical shoe. In general (for example, Keen, Earth, Ecco), I wear a women's 9.5 to 10. In Birkenstock sandals or the Boston clog, I wear a 39. In closed Birkenstocks (like the Gary or Arran), I wear a 40. I ordered a 40 in the Super Birki because the the 39s were out of stock. The rubber part was too big, but the insert seemed okay in terms of the alignment of the arch and the toe supports. I wore the clog around inside to get a feel for it. Because of the big clog, I had to grip my toes a lot as I walked, but I could make it work even though the clog felt loose. When I got an alert that a 39 became available, I ordered it. This was a disappointment because the clog felt tight to my toes, even though it felt closer in overall size. The insert did not align with my arch, the toe support came under the ball of my foot, and my toe tips smacked into the ridge at the end of the insert. I thought that the 39 wasn't going to work, but I wore it around the house to be sure. Having a rubber clog that was more secure and less wobbly was very good. It occurred to me that my toes would eventually push the front cork into shape and the whole insert would mold to my foot in a more secure way than with the 40. So, although the 39 still isn't quite right, it's closer to what I need for walking on uneven ground in my garden.The cork insert seems thin and I predict it will lose the toe support and arch within a year. The linen covering for the foot area is uncomfortable for those with sensitive feet. The weave is discernibly rough. The white printing on the black linen also comes off almost instantly from just walking to test the fit, which will make being sure a replacement insert is the right model challenging. The cork insert is better than a generic foot bed in a rubber clog, but it's not the robust, beautiful cork footbed of a classic Birkenstock like the Arizona with either regular or soft footbed. My advice? Don't expect these to be like a regular Birkenstock in either fit or comfort and order the two most likely sizes to be sure you select the one with the fit that will work for your needs.

Takes a while to break in but once broke in they’re great

I normally wear a 38 in sandals, but went up a size for a closed toe. Glad that I did. They are a firm clog so be prepared for that. There will be room for socks.

Birkenstocks are about the only shoes I can wear, feet hurt with other brands. I bought these to work in the yard and feed horses, they are good for both chores. Only problem is that they are really wide and I have to wear thick socks. I will buy them again when these wear out.

I bought these to wear as gardening shoes. They are perfect for that. Slip on and off easily and can spray them with a hose to clean. Bought my usual size and they fit fine with or without socks.

This is a great clog; stylish, well made and comfortable. Sadly they are available in whole sizes only. The European 42 was a smidge too small and the Euro 43 was way too big. Zappos was very efficient in swapping the 42 for the 43, but the 43 arrived without the removable insole insert. That return was also handled well by Zappos. No joy for me, but I am sure you will love the shoe if your size is available.

Sending back because they are way to short. Would require a lot of break in time as well because they are stiff.

I like these shoes. Unfortunately, they were about a half size too small. I'm sure the next size up will be perfect. They're not fun, they're not pretty, but they do the trick for people who spend a lot of time on their feet.

Very comfortable for standing/operating all day. Great support!

I'm sure that the comfort of these would be great once broken in. There was plenty of room in the width. Unfortunately, my one foot is slightly larger and my toes were hitting the top on one side. I returned these and tried the Oofos clog and it is going to be a better match for my foot for work.

Love these clogs. I have had three pairs of this style. I started wearing them when I had severe heel pain. Too much walking on concrete which is terrible but impossible to avoid. Pain was so bad one day that I had to walk on my toes. I put these on and immediately I could walk normally. Wonderful!!! Also love the Boston clog.

they were way bigger than my usual 7.5

I have had five pairs of these over the last 15 years. So goofy looking, but so comfortable. Ordering my 6th pair now.

Love these Birks. I'm wearing them mostly inside during the winter and I like that the soles don't allow me to run them over like the cork shoes. I like that they're easy on easy off for when I need my boots.

I really wanted to like these shoes. Several of the doctors I work with love these shoes. I have worn Danskos for years and I wanted to try another shoe, as I stand for hours on my feet in the operating room. In my option, there is not enough support for standing long periods of time. I have worn Birk sandles and absolutely love them, but these clogs do not compare. Also, they make your feet sweat something awful!

More comfortable than I expected right out of the box. The sizing is on par with Birkenstock closed toe clogs.

These are very large. I've had to return them three times and am giving up the idea of owning some. I want to wear them for choir concerts, but with only five days left until a performance, won't have time to break them in. Given my long, and mostly happy, history with Zappos, I think I might receive better size recommendations. My feet aren't shrinking.

I wear these for work on labor and delivery. They’re not cute, but they are waterproof and offer adequate arch support for my previously badly broken foot, which is hard to find! If you need a shoe with comfort and function, this is it!

I could not keep these on my feet because they were so large and wide. I normally wear a 9-91/2 and that's the size I ordered.

I ordered a size smaller than usual and it was still large and felt clunky.

I bought these Birks to wear in my kindergarten classroom, and they do a great job supporting me while I stand and walk around most of the day! They are kind of ugly, but I don't care. I really like that I can sanitize these if a child gets sick or I walk through a mess in the cafeteria on accident; I also have the option to replace the cork sole when that's worn out. I wear little wool no-show socks by Darn Tough when it's warm out and regular socks when it's cooler; they are very uncomfortable if worn without socks. Overall, I am very please with this purchase and two months of regular wear!

Awful could not be more disappointed I soley (no pun attended) bought the shoe going on the Birkenstock name They are ill fitting - and in less then a year are going to have to be replaced due to the inner soles wearing out - isn't that what you pay the premium of birkenstock for - the inner soles - back to sketchers

I don’t know what excellent arch support other reviews are referring to because these had very little for me which was the main reason I bought them. Otherwise very comfy. Sorry to return but support was my priority.

Very comfortable. I work in a hospital and stand all day. Good support. No breaking in felt good from the start
