Birkenstocks are my favorite. These fit great and are so comfortable. This is my second pair of this style.

The snap broke after one use. It unsnaps after 2 or 3 steps. Can't believe I paid $160 for "high end" shoes that I can no longer wear.

Wear a 9.5 men’s running shoe and the 9-9.5 size has plenty of toom

Just what I was looking for. Purchased these as a gift for my wife and she loves them. They fit perfectly, look great, and shipped quickly.

The product came clearly looking used and rubbed out by the toe. Truly disappointing...

At first, the width seemed a little tight, but after a couple of days of wearing, things were fine. I love Birkenstock shoes and wear them almost exclusively.

What’s not to like? This brand has been around almost as long as I have.

I realized after purchase that Birkenstock offers a narrower fit as well. Had I known, I would have bought through their site since it appears that LL Bean only offer one width. I still like my Bostons a lot. They're super comfy and were great footwear for a recent plane flight. I also walked miles through Chicago in comfort.

I discovered Birkenstocks early last year and I now own 7 pairs, lol!! This is my second pair of clogs and my first time trying the softbed as my other clogs are the shearling lined (THEE BEST for cooler California nights!) I am so happy with a regular pair of Boston clogs for summer when my toes and feet need some TLC but also when I want to stay cooler. I always treat my Birks with suede protection the second they are out of the box. Once dry, I wear them around the house for a couple of hours a day for at least 4 days before I wear them out. This helps them to adjust to my feet. The softbed is new to me, like I mentioned earlier, however I LOVE them! Extra cushion is always welcome and they feel awesome! I am usually a size 8 in traditional sneakers (sometimes a 7.5) and a 7 in UGGs so the 38s (7-7.5s) in Birks works amazing for me! I used their measurements at first and they said I would need a 39 but my two first pairs (that are 39s) are too big. If they are too big, your front toes don't stay in position and the shoes can be very uncomfortable do to the ridge by the toes. Ido want to mention, though, that the softbed has a much smaller ridge than the other styles so this might work better for those who find other Birks uncomfortable. Definitely make sure you measure your feet and try some on in store to be safe! Overall, no regrets... these might be my favorite right now! These will be great for traveling on the plane next week!

Very comfortable and stylish. My teen son loves these! they do get dirty if you get the taupe, so we bought a cleaning kit.

i’m typically a size 9 (40) but ordered a size up 10 (41). the size 9 felt like an EXACT fit maybe a slight bit smaller but i wanted to be able to have room or wear socks with this. i’m also narrow footed so i had to get the narrow size so that might have factored into size 9 not being big enough. super cute and stylish!

Needed a size larger than my normal size to feel most comfortable on the top of my foot. I could not get my foot into the same shoe of my regular size.

Birkenstocks are my number 1 favorite sandals. I have two pairs now and they never disappoint. The clogs are super comfortable, stylish and so versatile. It's a great transitional shoe for chillier weather, too.

I wear a size 42 in the normal width/wide footbed, and a 43 in the narrow. Just thought that might be helpful for future buyers!

Love Birkenstocks ! I got the narrow size 39 / 8 8.5 . I am size 8 and these fit perfectly . So glad the Boston offered narrow as the regular was a bit sloppy for me . I love that Birks can be re- soled to get many , many years of use instead of throwing them out . Yes, they are a bit costly , but the comfort and ease of these shoes are soooo worth it .

The size and fit were consistent. The material was not like the Birkenstock I have had in the past. I have bought the same pair a couple of times, but this time the suede was so soft it did not hold its shape. So when putting them on my feet the top of the shoe was laying in the sole of the shoe, so I can't slip my foot in without using my hands. It is inconvenient. I am contemplating sending them back for something else. Other than that they fit as always and thee quality seems the same.

Great style, I just don’t love how it feels to walk in Birkenstocks. Too clunky.

I love a good Birkenstock. The soft footbed is great. The suede upper is so soft. Fit is perfect. I ordered my usual size.
