LOVE! These shoes are perfect. The roomy width makes the shoe fit like it was originally intended. These didn’t take ANY “break in” time. They were perfect from the start. Already my favorite shoes.

Birkenstock’s is the only brand I wear. I feel that the footbed in the Amalfi leather is more comfortable than the oiled or suede but might be just me. Zappos is my only shoe store. Best service ever!

I normally wear a 7 or 7.5 U.S. men's shoe size and I ordered the corresponding Birkenstock size of 40. The fit and size are perfect without socks or with thin socks. The upper is soft and the footbed is comfortable with a good amount of arch support. This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I'm enjoying them so far!

6 Regular shoes fit me well with adjustment of the buckle. Expect these to last for a long time and comfortable with suede lining and top - keepers!

I have resisted buying Birkenstock Boston’s because they look a little dumpy, but decided the comfort outweighed the look. I tried them in three sizes, 38 and 39 Regular and 40 Narrows. I bought a pair of Arizona’s in 39 N and tried that as well in the Boston but that was way too small. The 38 regular was too short and the 40 Narrows pinched with thick socks so I ended with my original 39 size. They’re a little wide but they feel divine on my mostly sore and tired feet. And I actually think they’re sort of cute. My husband thinks they’re hideous but loves that I’m happy.

Run a bit big. I’m a 7.5 and fit a 37. Run wide, but I prefer that very comfortable and great arch support. I’m obsessed. Love all clogs.

These are my favorite shoes, even if they are not shoes, my biggest issue with them is that they are too comfortable (once broken in) to take off. That being said, give them a week of solid break in to get to that level of comfort by wearing them around the house or yard. The stiffness on the footbed will gradually give way to form to your feet.

Always wanted to get Birkenstock’s so I am enjoying them. My only concern was there was a large clump of hard glue sticking out of the side. It separates the side leather from the cork so hopefully over time this doesn’t cause an issue.

These shoes were excellent. They fit just like all my other Birkenstocks do. However, I did not like how shiny the leather was, and that is my reasoning for less stars overall and in style. I did purchase the same birkenstocks in an oiled leather. I prefer the muted tones to the shiny ones.

Beautiful shoes. I did send them back though. Not because of quality or service, they were excellent. The shoes were much darker brown than they looked in the pictures. They were so close to my black birks that I couldn’t justify having 2 exact pairs almost identical in color. I’ll order a lighter brown to suede maybe.

I normally wear a 37 in the Arizona style, so that’s what I originally ordered. Because of the closed toe, they were a tad short; my toes hit the end. Returned and re-ordered in a 38 and they are perfect.

The Bostons in Narrow were a better fit for me. They are also super comfortable right out of the box!

The footbed of this shoe was perfect. Just like all my other Birkenstocks. I couldn't change to a narrow at all. With that said, the top was loose and didn't cover my feet as well as I liked, making the shoe loose and floppy on my foot. If I were to keep them, I'd have to punch another hole in the suede. The suede was ultra soft and the footbed was perfect, it was just too floppy and loose on my foot. I also ordered the leather Boston birkenstocks and they have a tighter fit on my foot. I will send back the suede and keep the leather ones.
