Went back to my first floor nursing shoe. Now it all makes sense. Extra comfort of soft footbed. Wish they made navy in this style that wasn’t suede.

Birkenstock is the worst shoe I’ve ever worn. The footbed is beyond uncomfortable and my feet hurt terrible. The support is horrible, and the clogs feel larger than the actual size. Their C.S. is beyond worthless.

I’m normally a 7-7.5 but with these the 6-6.5 fit perfect, so size down!

This shoe in regular width is a good fit for my wide feet. Zappos customer service is the best !

Everyone says they’re true to fit however I found they were bigger than my true size in most other shoes. I usually wear an 11(US) and ordered the 44, I had almost a 1/4” space in the heal cup.

I finally converted to birks this year. I got sandals over the summer and just got these clogs for fall/winter. I have one foot and ankle that's just an absolute mess, everything makes them hurt but I have done really well with the clogs. I had a cheap pair of knockoffs that my foot kept coming out of and I have not had that problem at all with these!

I lived in the sandals this summer so I wanted to get a closed toe option for the upcoming cooler months. I'm so pleased with this purchase, the shoes fit perfectly (I ordered based on the suggested/recommended size) and the color is beautiful in person. I was a little confused about the width and which one to order. I read a bunch of the reviews here and the tip from Zappos and went with what Birkenstock considers narrow and I'm happy I chose that. My feet are a normal width and the narrow width provided with this shoe is not narrow at all. If you have any doubts and your feet are considered regular width, go with the narrow.

I love the Boston style! My last pair lasted 10+ years, so I knew it would be a durable shoe and worth the price. I originally got the regular width, which ended up to be too big. The narrow fits perfect though!

Awesomely comfortable clog. Great for working from home and running errands. The shiny black is more dressy for a career gal. The soft footbed is comfy too. These were a gift for my daughter.

A bit wide. If your feet run narrow, you may be happier in a narrow.

These fit just like my birkinstock sandals, comfortable, pretty good arch support. They are just a little plain or clunky looking. I wish that birkinstock could combine their arch and footbed support with something that is more stylish

I'm so glad to have pair of these clogs again!!! It's been maybe 25 years since I've had a pair but they are just as comfortable as when I wore them as a young hippy at Dead shows. These feel a little wider than I remember. I do remember seeing a narrow option when I was ordering, but I wouldn't consider my feet narrow, especially after wearing flip flops so much the past few years. Also I saw these were marked as unisex, so maybe in the past I had ones that were considered women's? Also the leather suede material seems softer, as in floppy, which isn't a problem but I thought I remember that being more shaped to my foot in the past- these are soft so you sort of have to wiggle your foot into them if you want to put them on with no hands. Lastly, I was a little surprise they arrived in a plastic bag rather than a shoe box but it's not like I needed another shoe box to recycle.

I used to wear Birkenstocks years ago but when I developed Morton’s Neuroma, I had to stop because the toe bar hit in the absolute worse spot and caused intense pain. Fast forward 12 years and after wearing Haflinger clogs problem free, I decided to give the Boston Soft Footbed a chance, hoping the Soft Footbed padding would cushion that toe bar issue...and it did! I feel like I’ve been reintroduced to a very dear old friend, and I couldn’t be any happier. I wear 9.5 Medium in all my shoes and the 40 fits me perfectly. Since getting this Boston in Black Amalfi Leather, I’ve been wearing them nonstop. There will be additional Soft Footbed Birkenstocks in my future. Thanks Zappos for the fast shipping and delivery!

I usually wear a size smaller in the Arizona but I wanted to wear these with socks to slip on quickly. This size is perfect with socks and they are so comfortable- I love them.

I was very disappointed in Birkenstock with this purchase. I have been a fan and Birkenstock supporter/consumer for years. I have to say that the quality of this shoe has turned me off. The workmanship is lacking greatly; you can see major gaps in the seams, the glue that was used was inconsistent, and in one place in had dripped on the shoe's footbed. For an expensive pair of shoes, it does not live up to its name/brand.

My only complaint is the leather had 3 distinct scratch marks right across the top of one of the shoes. I understand distressed leather, but they looked bad especially being brand new shoes. I couldn’t keep them and look at that.

I have been having pains in my feet from (self-diagnosed) plantar fasciitis. An internet search said these shoes were the most supportive and best for this. The internets were right!!! I have worn these shoes every day since and my feet feel great!

I tried the sandals and love them. So with winter starting I wanted to continue wearing Birkenstock’s so the Boston is the way to go.
