Great shoes. Very comfortable with awesome support. I ordered narrow based on the other reviews that said the regular was wide. I wish I would have ordered regular width. I don’t like the narrow width. By the time I was sure about the width, I’d already worn them all day ay work and can’t send back. Otherwise great purchase.

These are perfect- I am usually a 40, and can wear them comfortably with winter socks, or with no socks. I love to cook and do so often, so I bought these to wear in the house while prepping, cooking, cleaning up - they are perfect! The arch support is great, and I no longer feel fatigue in my feet or legs after a few hours in the kitchen.

Just the fit you expect with Birks and a great winter shoe for the southwest. I ordered the suede and the oiled leather. Prefer the suede with my high instep.

I usually wear 7 or 7 1/2 US. This is a great fit with very nice arch support. A bit clunky looking but the comfort is worth it.

The soft foot bed takes up enough space that the regular width is not too wide for my women’s foot. Super comfy.

These are the most comfortable shoes ever. I wish I could wear them all the time. I recently had foot surgery and these are by far the most comfortable shoes I have that support my foot.

First pair of Birkenstocks because I didn’t understand the hype. I wanted a pair of slide on shoes that I can wear in the winter and I saw these in a catalogue. I love, love, love these shoes! Even bought my daughter a pair for Christmas! I completely understand the hype!

Size and fit are perfect. This is my first pair of Birkenstock’s and won’t be the last. What a joy to have shoes that do not cramp my toes and offer arch support. If you have feet that hurt and are not comfortable in shoes you should try these. Thank you Birkenstock. My80 year old feet feel young again.

I have a wide foot but these seem too wide but I’m keeping them. My foot doctor recommended Birkenstock’s for my plantar fasciitis.

These shoes were so large on my feet, it was hard to get a real feel for them. I have been ordering 8.5 for quite a while. I just was not willing to go down a half size to make this shoe work for me.

I love my Birks! The Habana oiled has a warm rustic appearance that just looks and emits comfort! The fit is perfect. The go to for comfort and ease. These shoes fit the Zappos description. No disappointment!

Love this style. Would suggest sizing a half size up if you want to wear with wooly socks in the colder months so that they fit comfy without needing time to be stretched out. Love Birkenstock’s all year long and these are a classic!

Love them. Got navy, black and brown. Just as comfy as the thong sandals I live in all summer.

Love the Birkenstock thong sandals so was really excited to find these for fall and winter. Same fit and comfort but warm toes.

I love these shoes, I bought them to wear at work, 12 hour shifts. My feet and legs don't feel any where near as tired at the end of the day. I do like the soft bed, this is my first pair. I had purchased a white pair with a buckle and they were non skid and very noisy when walking. These are much quieter.

The fit is perfect for me. I have rheumatoid arthritis and experience back problems without good support in the shoes I wear. I wore Birkenstock’s years ago, it’s good to back in them! The soft bed is the best! There is no breaking in, I normally wear a size 8 medium, I ordered an 8 narrow soft bed, and it is a perfect fit. They are very comfortable, they feel like I have been wearing them for months already! I ordered them in the Port Suede, this color will work well for me, it’s a deep burgundy color, looks great with jeans.
And how about Zappos great service! My orders arrive super fast, and if you have to return an order, they are just as nice to you as when you placed the order. They are kind of like the Starbucks of the shoe world! Thanks for the great service, Zappos!!

Thevshoes wore great l, but Xappo’s sent the wrong pair. Paid extra for soft foot bed. They sent the regular hard footbed after I paid extra.

I was really worried about purchasing these event though I love Birkenstock sandals (and have too many to count), I've never owned their clogs. I decided to purchase from Zappos due to their free return policy, just in case I didn't like them. I LOVE THEM and why haven't I purchased them sooner! These are by far my most comfortable clogs I have ever owned. I did get the Black Amalfi Leather and thus wore them around the house occasionally to gently break them in before wearing them out only because the leather seemed really stiff to me. Other than that, they are perfect and I love wearing my handknit socks with them!

It fits a little big - needs some way of tightening the top strap more. The arch support is awesome. I've been wearing Birki's exclusively since 1998 and love 'em!

I am a big fan of the Birkenstock sandals and own several pair. This year I decided to order the Boston clog and was a bit too late as my size was out of stock in the colors that I liked best. I decided to try the navy suede and found the exterior upper to be a little too floppy for my taste; I like the stiffer leather uppers much better. The soft footbed is amazing and I wear a smaller size (38) than my typical 8 in order to have that wonderful "heel-hugging" feeling. I also find that the narrow is a must in these unisex shoes even though I'm usually a size M. I returned the shoes mostly because of the color. I wanted to wear them with jeans and the blue isn't a true navy-it needed to be a bit darker. Zapppos- thank you for being such a great hassle-free company- your customer service support is excellent!!!

Needed a casual slip on! Always wear 10-11 or Euro 41- this shoe just barely accommodated the back of my heel-so glad it did. Can wear a thin pair of wool socks with the narrow size. Nice amount of room in the toe box! Like the look & feel of the leather.
