These are my husbands go-to sandals. He has had numerous pairs and will continue to order them as they are perfect for his wide feet.

Ok, I have been trying for the last month to find a replacement for my AnaTech clogs (they went out of business last year). Zappos is super because I must have tried one of every clog they had. Had no idea I was so hard to fit - and there's no real issue with my feet. Finally went to Birkenstocks - resisted because of the historic counter culture vibe - but I'm so glad I decided to get them. These are awesome. Got the black suede - sort of dressy really. I typically wear an 8 so tried the 39 - too big. As were the 38s. Settled on the 37s which fit perfectly (and that surprised me). Love the soft footbed too. If you've been leery of the funky style, don't be - they are super comfortable, super well made - and will last for years! Thanks Zappos for your patience.

Fit and size are true to Birkenstocks. The soft footbed is a nice choice. I am very happy with them.

I love the color and style of this shoe, but I do think that the soft footbed styles run small. I got my usual size 38 and I think I'm going to have to go up a size. I am a size 37 in sandals and a 38 in closed toe, but my heels are very close to the end in these. Ordered a second pair to see if it was just a fluke, but they fit the same. Otherwise, love my Birkies!

I love Birkenstock! This is my first new pair in years. I finally decided it was time and I am not disappointed. My dog decided one of my older pair would be fun to chew on. Apparently they’re tasty too!

These are the absolute best shoes for my high arches and neuroma! I wear them as house shoes and at the end of the day my feet can't wait to spend time in these. I even bring them to others peoples home so if they need me to take off my shoes I don't end up in pain.

I got them in my usual size (39) and the Narrow width (I do not have narrow feet) and they fit perfectly. This pair had the softer foot bed and they were comfortable right out of the box. Choosing Birks never fails for me. Love them!

I have 3 pair Betula by Birkenstock sandals...all size 40 and they fit perfectly. I ordered my first pair of Birkenstock Boston with the Soft Footbed in a 40 and they were too big. I then ordered the Boston in the Original Footbed and Soft Footbed in a size 39. The Original Footbed was snug; the Soft Footbed fit perfectly. I work in healthcare so I am on my feet all day; I was able to wear them for an 8 hour shift without a problem. I would definitely recommend them.

Love the shoes. My feet swell so they can make my feet hurt a little if I walk in them all day.

I’ve been wearing Birkenstock’s for 27 years. I LOVE them. I have a closet full of boots; heels; sandals and my taste is quite expensive, unfortunately. However, I’ll always wear my Birks because they make my feet so happy! I have high arches; two foot surgeries; chronic back and nerve pain and these are still perfect for me to wear. My size hasn’t changed in 27 years...I’m a 37 narrow in ALL styles...this goes for the shearling too, which I’ve seen much confusion about. I’m a 37 in all Euro sizes from boots to Manolo’s, so my advice is to order your true size as they are TTS and width. Narrow is for medium feet also...the “regular” is very wide! I always get black, taupe or mocha and decided to get the Night Suede to replace my worn out mocha’s. I absolutely love the color...it’s now my favorite in this style! Highly recommend

I live in Birkenstocks, but for me I love the soft footbed. This is my third pair, they last forever, but I've come to experimenting and I've starting dying the suede. Fun!!!

The soft footbed is awesome. It feels like I've had these Birkenstocks for a long time without having to do the break in period that I normally expect. This is my first time ordering the soft footbed and I have to say I will order it again! The clog is perfect for the colder months and they go with everything! I'm really enjoying these shoes so far.

The fit was exactly like Birkenstock sandals. I ordered a size larger thinking I might need room for socks, but the sole of the shoe didn’t line up with the contours of my foot. I exchanged for the same size as all my Birkenstock sandals and they are a perfect fit! No planter fasciitis pains with the Boston Birk!

This is my fourth pair of birks. I have two pairs of Mayari and one pair of Arizona’s. I typically wear a 41 and that held true with the Boston’s. This is my first pair with the soft footbed and I must say I am a fan. If you’re hesitating, bite the bullet because you won’t be disappointed.
