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.

I ordered the soft footbed Boston in regular width and love them! The regular and narrow are NOT the same as listed on certain colors! I know this because I really wanted the Port color and it only comes in narrow. Birckenstock if your reading this,PLEASE bring back the regular width.

I have a very narrow foot and these hurt immediately when putting them on
I got narrow because I donahbe a narrow foot but my arch was pinched
Very uncomfortable and couldn’t get them off fast enough
I prefer the Spenco shoes which have been wonderful with a lovely arch support

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 wanted to like theses shoes. They were too big and too bulky. Had to return them.

First time ordering a Birkenstock...very big and bulky. I may need to try a smaller size, however, the shoe looks awkward.

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.

Material was soft, resulting in it collapsing onto sole,making it difficult to just “slip on”.
It was wide enough and long enough, so that it fit comfortably. However, footbed was not as soft as I expected, and bump in arch made it very uncomfortable to walk in.
I returned shoe and instead purchased an Aravon slip-on which is far more comfortable 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!

I love Birkenstock’s, especially in the summer! Transitioning into the cooler weather I needed a comfortable pair of shoes that were easy to take on and off! These did not disappoint, I read reviews first, and I’m glad I did. I am usually a 9. I ordered the size 40 narrow! Perfect fit. I read in previous emails of you are a women , the narrow fits better than the wide. I totally agree!

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks in many years. I ordered the soft bed in the Brown Amalfi. The shoe has a wide toebox (which is no surprise for Birkenstocks) but I tightened the buckle and remedied that issue without a second thought. The color is a very dark brown - almost black, so I did exchange them for the Habana Oiled leather which the the exact color I wanted. I am thrilled with these. Non of the normal "breaking" in. They are ready to hit the pavement the minute you put them on!! Great purchase!

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.

I do not like the style or the leather color. They’re going back!
