The closed toe Boston style is warmer in winter. (Snow is rare where I live.)

A must for Birkenstock lovers. Soft footbed for comfort. I wear a 9 1/2 Narrow shoe, but went with a 39 Medium and it fits well, especially with a sock. Arch support is perfect. Comfortable suede top. My feet are happy!

Soft footbed does not require much "breaking in period." Suede material makes the shoes very comfortable. Everything feels premium and soft to the touch.

Suede Birkenstock sandals with soft footbeds are my go-tos for warm -weather comfort. Now I have the same fit plus warmer comfort for cooler weather with these clogs. And they look great with colorful socks!

I already love Birkenstocks and have multiple pairs of sandals but these are my first pair of clogs and they did not disappoint! I recently found out I have plantar fasciitis and needed closed toe shoes to wear all day work, these are amazing!

I tried both regular/narrow and wide in these berks after seeing somewhere that the wide is better if you want to wear socks. As a petite female, usually wearing a size 7.5, it was immediately obvious to me that the wide is meant for someone with truly wide feet/probably the men’s size. I consider my feet normal, not wide but not skinny. I haven’t worn socks with these yet and it would be really tight right now, but I’m hoping after I break them in more, I’ll be able to wear socks. I’ve started having foot problems in the last few years if I wear the wrong shoes, but so far so good with that. Plantar fasciitis will start to creep back in when wearing flat shoes too much. No more old navy flip flops! I also have a semi enlarged spot on the top of my foot where the big toe bone connects to the rest of my foot if that makes sense. I do not like the word bunion, dang it! The “enlarged spot” was bothersome when first breaking these in, but it was not aching at the end of the day and I wore these from 8am to 8pm yesterday. I don’t feel any plantar pain either. If I were wearing my classic Vans, I would have wanted to change them out after a few hours if that tells you anything. The black suede is pretty nice. I like to be different and practical. Everyone seems to buy the taupe/tobacco color and I would think a light color would get dirty fast, so I picked black. I hope this helps!

After about a week, I'm loving these. I wanted a pair way back in high school, but never got them so I'm excited they made a comeback and I got a pair!

You basically can't go wrong with Birkenstocks, but every time I slide these on I am reminded of how comfortable good shoes can be. Perfect fit and the soft footbed is amazing! Not actually "soft" but definitely more give in the sole than traditional Birkenstocks. Love these shoes!

I typically wear a 40 wide in Birkenstock sandals but have found a 40 narrow to fit better with the Bostons. Birks are my daily drivers, year round, due to plantar fasciitis and arthritis. Glad to have these Bostons for the fall/winter months here in New England. I also own a pair of Naot Spring clogs with leather uppers. As a comparison, the Birks have better arch support and fit me better. However, the Naots require less breaking in time for the leather upper than my pair of leather Bostons. The uppers of the suede Bostons are comfortable right out of the box.
I'd also recommend:
Altra, Naot

Sadly for me the low heel cup does not work and the arch support was too much. I think they are great but just not good for bad knees. I need a little more softness and bounce .

I have a narrow foot and the narrow fits sooooo much better than the regular/wide width. Would definitely recommend!
