I love these shoes. I’ve work Birkenstock’s sandals for years but this is the first pair of winter birks I’ve purchased. They are so comfortable and cute!

Fit true to size with the exception of the narrow width. I was skeptical about narrow width working for someone who wears medium or “B” width shoes, but there was no problem with the shoe fitting!

Perfect. They are Birkenstock’s! No comparison. Only bought these because my puppy chewed them up.

I’m not going to say they are the cutest shoes around, but they’re comfortable, easy to slip on to run some errands or take the dog outside, and I like the toe coverage versus the sandals. Perfect for cooler temps!

Love the shoe. I've been suffering with foot and ankle pain and needed a better shoe to wear in the house. Perfect. Very comfortable and gives me the support I needed.

I have Morton Neuroma in both of my feet and have issues finding shoes that are wide enough/don’t squeeze the front of my feet-these are perfect plus have great arch support. 100% recommended.

These shoes fit me perfect. I haven’t worn them that long because it’s winter here, but the time I’ve worn them they have been extremely comfortable. I wear 7 1/2 in nike & adidas tennis shoes and I ordered a 38. I ordered the taupe suede and I feel the color goes perfect with every outfit. I will be ordering the sandals this summer (from Zappos of course because the customer service & shipping is the best!!)?

This is the second style of Birkenstock that I own. I spent the summer months on my Mayari birks and found them the best supportive sandal ever! I wanted a style for winter that I could use with socks (only while at home, LOL) The boston delivered. The soft suede needed no time to break in. The taupe color is a very nice neutral. It does have a little bit of greenish gray on it. Is not as beige as shown in the picture. They have become my house sleeper and the shoes that I use driving for carpool. In terms of looks, they are not as cute as the Mayari, but my feet are warm and happy during the winter.

Ordered my regular Birkenstock size (my other Birks are Arizona) and they fit perfect. Needed a comfortable real shoe to wear in the house and these give me the support I need while feeling like slippers. Bonus that I don't have to change into shoes when I go out with the dog :)

Excellent! I am a first time Birkenstock owner, but I wanted a classic clog that would be easy on/off for the winter and provide some support. These are MORE than I hoped! I feel like I’m standing in a cloud (odd I know) anytime I’m standing in them. The arch support and the way they cradle my heels is amazing. They’ve been great for my 15 minute walk to the train and my commute on the train (sometimes standing the whole way). Took a little breaking in with my right foot - the leather wasn’t super flexible and it just felt hard over the top of my right (slightly bigger) foot.

I bought this to take care of my Birkenstocks. I haven't used it yet, but theya re too expensive to not care for properly. $18 is really nothing.

I would definitely buy the narrow if you have medium feet. I teach and the price is worth every penny. I have not regretted my purchase at all.

I bought these shoes in a pinch for work and didn’t expect to love them, but I do. I’m a true size 7 and have a wide foot so comfortable pumps can be a challenging find. These are very comfortable and also look sleek and professional. Highly recommend!

I’m a true women’s size 7, and like all Birkenstock’s, I wear a size 36 perfectly. Love the soft footbed on this style and like that it doesn’t rub my arch like the regular footbed. This is my favorite pair of birks so far.

The shoes were great until day 5 when the rivet holding the strap broke! Zappos was great on the return/exchange.

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!
