Exactly what I wanted! True to size. Minimal break-in time. Soft footbed is the way to go. Perfect color from summer to winter.

Shoe was exactly as anticipated. Bought as a gift for my boyfriend and he has been wearing them nonstop ever since. They look good and he says they are comfortable!

I ordered these because the description said regular. Upon checking the birkenstock website, they categorized regular as wide also, so I assumed these would fit that description as well. Nope. They are narrow. Too bad because I really like these shoes. Had to return, unfortunately.

I finally was able to get a pair of these shoes in the correct size; the length and width were correct. However, I have a really high arch and the fit was a little odd on the top of my foot; it just wasn't as comfortable (even for a new pair of Birks--my favorite shoe) as I had expected, and the suede is so light I was a little worried about taking care of it to use as long as I expect from my long-lasting Birks.

The fit was terrible, my daughter is a sz 10.5-11 in women. I ordered the size accordingly. They were more like a 9.5-10 in women, sadly they were for her bday and she was very excited to receive them but they did not fit.

These are so comfortable and I love wearing them. They're soft and perfect for slipping on to run errands or go to brunch or something. Definitely recommend while they're still in fashion!

I got my first pair of Bostons 23 years ago, and wore them often, until the sole wore through to show cork & leather. I loved them, but they wore out, and to get them repaired was going to cost nearly 2/3 the cost of a new pair. I really wish that the soles were more durable than they are. In general, I get about a year’s daily usage out of my Birkenstocks until I have to take them to the shop to get them re-soled, at roughly $50-$60 per pair. Despite all of this, I continue to wear Birkenstocks because they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever put my feet into and they make my sciatica pain go completely away. I finally broke down and bought a second pair of Bostons, and they are everything that I remember my first pair to be. I just hope I don’t wear them out too quickly.

Been wearing these as my around the house shoes for 3 years on weekends, and evenings. I still don't love the style - but neither my kids or dog care what they look like and my wife already knows I have no style - these are so comfortable it's ridiculous.

No negative for the quality of the shoe. I needed one size larger to accommodate socks.

This is my fourth pair of clogs of this style. I wore my last pair until the sole wore away on the heel. These are extremely comfortable, especially the soft sole. I finally snagged a pair in black, which I’ve wanted for many hears (last pair was oiled brown leather). These are my favorite cold weather casual shoes and I usually wear with wool boot socks. I highly recommend even though they aren’t on the style cutting edge!

True to size for Birkies. Bought these to replace my old ones that have lasted for several years. New one's leather appears slightly thinner than my old pair, but the Birkenstock quality is still as great as ever! Love Zappos variety of products and prompt delivery.

Bought it for my partner and he loves it! Took a couple wears for him to break it in but now it’s his daily easy shoe for running errands.

I am usually a 7-7.5 in most other shoes with a slightly wide foot. I have been wearing Bostons for over 10 years, and Birkenstocks in other styles as well - Madrid, Arizonas. These are a great clog version that are great to slip on a go - and now for some reason are fashionable, too. I can wear both the medium/ narrow and the medium/wide, but the wide definitely gives my toes a lot more wiggle room. My heel goes right to the end, but the 38 (next size up) would have definitely been too big, floppy, and clunky. I wear a 37 in the other styles too. With the soft footbed, the breakin is quite minimal. The only thing with the suede though is that it is super soft, but also gives the shoe a little less structure vs. the oiled leather versions.

I have a hard time keeping these shoes on my feet when I walk at a steady pace. They keep slipping off. I typically use them like a slipper so it is not that huge of an issue. I just wouldn't wear them to work or running errands much

I love these so much! They are definitely on the wider side, but very comfortable. I would suggest doing your research on narrow vs wide fit for the best fit.

LOVE these! First, I tried the regular width because that’s what I’ve always worn in Birks. I don’t have a wide foot, but I have bunions. It was loose even on the tightest buckle setting. I was very surprised to find that the narrow width are perfect! I love that I can loosen the buckle to accommodate socks or tighten it for bare feet. Super comfortable and cute! The soft footed is a must.

I love Birkenstock shoes & own several. I’m very pleased with these. Still beautifully made with exceptional materials. I have a wide foot & have a significant break-in time. I do wish they would make their shoes in a wide width.

I have worn Birkenstocks - arizonas, Madrid, Boston, gizeh- for almost 20 years. I walk a lot and have a moderately wide foot and these have lasted. These are my third pair of bostons, first time in suede, and second time soft footbed- the suede is very soft (I wonder how it will hold up) and the soft footbed means less breakin time. They’re trendy right now too, so 5 for style I guess. Easy to slip on and go.
