I haven't had a pair of Birkenstocks for some years but due to cranky feet I decided to try them. These soft footbed Birkenstocks feel great and give my foot the room I have come to enjoy.

I absolutely love the fit. The 39 reg was a bit snug w/O socks. I usually wear a 39 in Birkenstock sandals, so the 40 reg are roomy, and just right, with or without socks!!! I love the Boston!

I live in Birkenstocks clogs year round. The softfoot bed has become my new favorite. I have a pair of purple suede that I have worn out, so....I am experimenting on making my own by dying a pair of taupe. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Comfortable, but I think if I go with clogs, I want something that can dress up or down.

My recommended size was a 39 (I am a size 8 M) but found the 38 R to be a great fit. This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and the soft footbed is what convinced me to try them. They are very comfortable and supportive. I will try another pair in a different style now.

I've never owned an enclosed Birkenstock before. I ordered my regular size 41 and it feels like my toes are rubbing on the edge of the shoe. I am not sure if it is because the leather is stiffer or the wrong length so I am going to choose the suede in two sizes to compare. I have flatter feet and need a long time to break these in so I need to pick the right size. I guess in the brown leather at least I would say they feel about a half size small compared to my sandals

I normally take a sz 39 in Birks. I tried on the 39N in a store and it felt a little short, so I ordered the 40N from Zappos.Way too big. Like the looks but even the narrow isn't a true narrow. Had to return.

I was surprised to find that the "Soft" foot bed meant less arch support. For my plantar fasciitis, I prefer the most support, and found that the standard footbed (not these) was less squishy and therefore more comfortable for me. I'm sending back the "soft" one and keeping the regular one.

Beautiful suede and perfect comfort, just like Birkenstocks are famous for! I wanted the soft footbed for winter so my socks won't wear out so fast and I'm looking forward to warm and comfortable feet this season. Love!

The soft footbed is amazing! I use these as house shoes and often accidentally leave the house in them because they’re so comfortable.

I am in love with these !!! SO comfortable and like walking on air. Only problem was that I had to return and order a size down and get narrow width. My feet are on the wide side and that adjustment was perfect. Probably because they are uni-sex. You will not be disappointed!!

I have owned these for nearly a year and still consider myself to be breaking them in fully as I haven't worn them too much out of the house. I love to do chores and cook dinner in them as the arch support ensures I don't get a sore back. They look great. The black suede will rub off and cause some light discoloration for a while but it will go away. Definitely causes blisters on inside arch while breaking in but it's not bad; recommend wearing with light socks around house to get your feet used to them. Would gladly buy more!

I got these shoes because I often like the look of a sandal, but may be in an indoor setting where the A/C is too high and my feet freeze! This shoe offers some warmth and also looks good with low-cut socks. I initially got the black suede, but returned them for the beige color. The buckle/strap detail shows up much better on the beige. These are very cute and versatile, and with the slip-on style, super convenient. You can dress them up or down. Very happy with them.

These are my "fall/winter" Birks! I love that they fit well enough to wear with or without socks, depending on the weather.

I bought these as a gift for my mother in law as she's been struggling with plantar fasciitis and foot pain, and I think feels overwhelmed by shoe stores. They are a perfect fit in her normal shoe size and she's in love with them. She claims they are already helping her foot, but I take that with a grain of salt since they were a gift so what else could she say? ;) She wears them barefoot or with thin socks. I have the Mayari and Arizona soft footbed styles for myself and the Mayari in particular are my favorite shoes. Birkenstocks never disappoint. I'm a bit jealous of these clogs and may buy some for myself when it cools down again!
