I know these are not what one would call 'pretty'. But they are so comfortable. I wear a size 7/38. It fit perfectly.

If you stand all day this is your shoe. Great arch support and has a funky look to them. Purchased the narrow width which runs extremely wide. ( I am a med B width) Very happy with this purchase. highly recommend.

My last pair of Boston Birks were bought over 20 years ago. I’m so glad to have this new pair! It takes no time to break them in. Birkenstocks are always my go-to shoes, especially after having two back surgeries.

I always wear a 39, regular width Birkenstock. These were very large and too wide.

I have planters fasciitis and these shoes really help. My older pair are 2 years old and needed to be replaced--feels so good to have new ones.

After trying on and finding my usual Sanita clogs too tight and my usual Dansko clogs huge in regular size, I finally tried these Birkenstocks. I have had several foot surgeries and right now I have small screw fractures. I am comfortable all day in these soft footbed shoes. True to size for me in my medium width as well. I plan to buy more of these great supportive shoes.

I have wide feet so not all Birkenstocks fit the same. These were beautiful black leather, but because they are stiff, they hurt my bunions and my hammer toe. I also did not like that for "slip ons", I had to bend down to put them on because the "tongue" was so floppy, it fell down every time I took them off. I love the look, but not the comfort. If they came in a wider, maybe, but I can't have my feet hurt.

My shoes arrived today and they looked like they have been worn. They are also two different shades of blue. Very disappointed. Returning them.

I am a true size 6 but order 5-5 1/2 in Birks, and I also order the narrow width. These shoes feel and look wonderful!

These are super ugly once you actually get them on your feet. The color is a dull grey/brown and they just have no shape or style. They look like medieval peasant shoes. They felt nice, but I wasn’t going to wear them out of the house. Also, the left shoes is scuffed like some have been saying.

My husband has worn the Arizona sandals for years. After purchasing the Bostons, he says they too are extremely comfortable.

I returned the size 41 Bostons as they run small on me in exchange for size 42. I found there is a size difference between the two styles, needing more room for my toes.
I wish I read a similar review to determine that I needed to size up from Arizonas to the Bostons.

My feet love Birkenstocks. I spent the pandemic in Birkenstock slippers and just got the Boston now that I am leaving the house. Same great arch support.

Took a while to find the right fit. I don’t wear wide width shoes typically but need a Regular width in these.

Out of the box these were what I needed. I'm an administrator in a school, and like most educators, I have foot issues. I wore these all day the first time I wore them, and by the end of the day I wasn't in pain! They fit like they were made for my foot!!
