Perfect right out of the box and narrow enough for my feet. Plenty of support for my plantar fasciitis. Not high fashion but serious comfort!

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.

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 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 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.

Extremely comfortable right out of the box. Once they are off for a while and put back on, they seem to be even more comfortable. The size is NARROW and they seem to fit better than regular. This is my first pair of SOFT BED and whoa, it makes a difference. Quality is top notch. Love them. Birkenstock...please make more colors for the narrow / soft bed shoe! :-)

Love these Birks! the leather is a beautiful blue and very soft. They were comfortable right out of the box. The regular width fits my wide foot perfectly without looking big. I have a leg length discrepancy and the deep heel cup accommodates a half inch lift from Amazon in the heel of my right shoe which eliminates the need and expense to have a lift added to the bottom of the shoe.

Sooo... I’ve attempted to love the Boston’s for 10+ years. Every single time I tried them on, I felt silly and clown like. Way way too wide for my dumb a*s feet and ankles. But, I kept trying to adapt! A week ago, I was searching for quality mules. Birks of course popped up, and I saw ‘narrow.’ Hmmm? Looked into them, and was also interested in the ‘soft sole’ business. With great hesitation, I made the purchase. With GREAT SURPRISE, from the second I put them on, I’m in love! Not too wide, don’t look dopey or clown like, are noticeably more soft and fit perfectly!! My foot is very normal, but the look and feel of the narrow soft Birk simply looks more natural than every other pair of Boston’s, that have all been returned. Thanks Birks...for making an awesome narrow soft supportive shoe! Please make more color options! :-) Thx!

The Bostons fit as my Dansko professionals fit, true to size. I made the mistake of reading other reviews that noted to size down. I originally ordered the 41 narrows for my 10 1/2 B width foot, average arch, and none of the footbed features matched my foot and they were not long enough if I ever wanted to wear socks. I exchanged for the 42 narrow, and the fit is right on, perfect with my wool socks. The brown color ordered was darker than pictured, but I don't really care, they will age well.
I'd also recommend:
Dansko, Hubbard

These shoes fit well, like my other Birkenstocks. They are true to size 37 narrow. I really like the color and style. We are home so much now that they will be my winter house shoes. Great arch support and I can wear them with socks.
I'd also recommend:
Keens, Salomon and Oboz
