Everything about these clogs was exactly what I wanted. I love the soft suede top and the soft footbed. The dark brown suede is a rich looking color. If you like Birkenstock’s these are great!

Like the wearing comfort, maybe a little on large side. Appearance excellent. Just started using them, lets see how they will compare with my Birkennstock sandals.

They are the perfect color - not too bright blue and not too dark so they go with everything they are perfect to slip on in the winter and run around for those of us who don’t have snow but it gets chilly!

This is the first time I’ve owned a pair of Birkenstocks. All of my sisters and uncles and aunts had them. I’ve worn them before (my sisters’) and I’m familiar with them. I finally decided the spend the money after my UGG Tasmans were just a failure. These make up for need for quick slip on clogs. They’re super comfortable, soft and not too warm and not too cold.

Takes a bit of breaking in, but then so comfortable. The Havana leather is a rich brown that I wear with everything.

They are super comfortable Birkenstocks. Keep in mind the straps will loosen up as they stretch to fit your feet, but these are my go-to sandals for wearing around the yard, in the garage, and everywhere else that sandals are appropriate (and sometimes to places where wearing sandals is a more questionable decision). I got these because of the extra arch support and the grip bar, which helps with some minor metatarsalgia I picked up from running. These have been great for reducing that pain.

These Berlin stocks are really great shoes, and keep you feet warm on cold days. They fit true to size.

I’ve always wanted to try a pair of Birks but I wasn’t a fan of suffering through pain while breaking in the hard footbed of the originals. I usually wear a 7 medium in most shoes so I ordered the 38 regular because I didn’t want them to be too constricting for my toes and I needed room for thick socks. Birkenstock states that their Narrow width is for Narrow/Medium width feet and the Regular width is for Wide/Extra Wide feet. For me I found that the Regular width gave me more room to relax my toes without them feeling constricted or discomfort. I adjusted the buckle to the tightest hole. The length was also perfect. I can wear my thick Winter socks and they are still a comfortable fit.
The Brown Almalfi Leather is a very dark, espresso brown with a gloss to aged look that scratched and worn looking. This ‘Boston’ style is a half-clog with an open back that’s easy to slip on and off.
Even though the soft foot bed is comfortable, I still found that I had to wear these around the house for a few days because the top part of the suede lining rubbed the top of my foot. They’re comfortable now and easy to slip on/off. I love them and will buy more.

This is my second Birkenstock purchase. I really like the casual look of this style. The foot bed is comfortable and fits just right. True to size. If anything you can adjust the belt on the shoe for better comfort.

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!

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.
