I love these clogs. My first pair that aren't sandals. I have to say I've never had the soft footbed. It's now my favorite. The beige suede was the only thing available in a normal width. I tried a narrow width since they say that's normal--it is definitely not. I do not have a wide foot. I have squared off toes though. These are so comfortable a little dorky like I'm a hobbit but I wear them at home so who cares. The cat seems fine with it--and he's pretty judgmental.

All time favorite comfort clogs. Great around the house and at work. The arch support is pretty dramatic, but is truly therapeutic once they break in. Birkenstock has their format locked down with the cork footbed.

Overall too large for the size. Very uncomfortable. Caused foot pain so I avoided wearing them. My first bad experience with Birkenstock. They have always fit well and been comfortable before.

Great shoes, super comfy. Easy to break in. Zappos is one of the only companies that ships to an Apo address so we love your company ?

I love these shoes! I read some reviews that said they run a little big so I ordered a 38 (US W 7-7.5) while I am normally a US W 8-8.5. They fit perfect and have a bit of room for decently thick socks!

size fits exact if you wear 10.5 you need a 43 ( I am not sure these are not knock offs. My wife has owned many pairs and never have they been some type of suade (not leather) its cracking and coming off after 3 days. Leather does not crack and fall off ( there is no oiled to this ) its the material that would come on your couch....

My new favorite shoes. I never wear narrow, but my first pair of Birks were just too wide to be comfortable. My husband waterproofed these for me and they still look perfect after walking through snow and slush.

I love these Birks. I've never been able to comfortably wear Birk sandals, but tried these because my husband has a pair that he loves. I read that these Boston clogs are good for plantar fasciitis, which I am plagued with right now. I've worn these all day every day since I got them a week ago and am very pleased with how comfortable they are and that I can walk pain-free in these clogs most of the time. I love them because they are almost like slippers for wearing in the house, but with lots of support. Mine are suede and because there is no smooth leather liner on the inside, when I wear my thicker wool socks they can be hard to slip on because the suede grabs the wool. Not a deal breaker by any stretch. I wear a 7.5 regular width in US women's sizes and the 38 Narrow fits perfectly (I read that women should order narrow in these so I did). The toe ridge feels good, unlike in the sandals which is what makes it difficult for me to wear Birk sandals. I don't have that problem with the Boston -- maybe because I wear socks with these. These are a winners for me!

I have been eyeing these shoes for so long but couldn't justify buying them since I already have the Arizona Birkenstock. But I decided to buy them for myself for Christmas and I am so happy with them. It was almost impossible to find my size since they were all virtually sold out everywhere, but they had it here in my size in the narrow version and they fit like a glove. They are so comfortable and so stylish. I haven't been able to wear it much since it's been super icy and snowing lately, but I am so excited to wear them out more once the weather warms up! I would say that unless you have incredibly wide feet, the narrow fit just like normal!

I love the shoes, they just arrived damaged so I had to return. Was also disappointing as Zappos was out of stock of my size ! I've had many pairs of these shoes and they are my go to favorite, so comfortable.

It took me awhile to figure out the sizing for the Birkenstock Bostons. What I discovered is that, unless you have a wide foot, you should order your typical size but with a "Narrow" width. I am typically between a 6-6.5 and first ordered the size 37 (6 - 6.5 equivalent). I didn't realize the only option for this particular style was in the "Regular" width. The shoes were huge! I returned the 37 and ordered a size 36. The 36 fit my foot too snugly, with my toe touching the front of the shoe. I then went to a shoe store and was able to try on the Boston style in a 37 "Narrow" and it fit perfectly. Very comfortable and granola-chic. Unfortunately, the size and color of Boston I want is not available on Zappos or the Birkenstock website. I wanted to share this saga to hopefully spare others from the challenge of identifying their proper size in this shoe.

I actually ordered my usual size from Birkenstock and needed an exchange, but they didn’t have my correct size. My usual size is 8-8.5, but I sized up to 9-9.5 and they fit perfectly. I love the blue suede! These are very comfortable too!

The top of the shoe, where the strap threads through the center section is uncomfortable and rubs. It wasn’t apparant until I wore them out and about, where I walked a lot farther than around the house. I have many of their sandals and they are wonderful. This pair of clogs is really expensive to be so expensive.

Great shoes- indoor use exclusively (house shoes) - stand all day (work from home at standing desk). No fatigue. Three stars for style - they’ve been goofy for the 30yrs I’ve been wearing them - form fits function.

After the shoes were sent to a different address twice a pair finally arrived at my door. I wanted them to work but found the leather very stiff and did not enjoy walking in them so I will be returning them. I feel badly because Zappos has been helpful in solving the problem of getting them to the my address. I will keep trying since I'm determined to find something I like and are comfortable.
