Maybe not the most stylish shoe, but they match everything. I wear these shoes almost daily and they are still in good condition almost two years later. So comfortable and so versatile!

After having been recently diagnosed with plantar fasciitis from running I was looking for a good pair of shoes to wear while slowly replacing my other shoes to fit my orthotics. Lots of hours were spent researching and reading reviews on these shoes. Finally made the purchase when one of my rewards came through and so glad I did. They aren't the prettiest things out there but I've come to terms that I have to start taking care of my feet. No regrets.

You just can't beat these shoes! Perfect to wear around the house if you get sore feet walking around on tile. Also great for outside. They last for years and are well worth the money.

This isn't my first pair of Birkenstock Boston's. I purchased these because I wanted the soft foot bed. I have no foot issues. I just love the comfort of all Birkenstock's. I love wearing thick socks during the winter and these are perfect for that. They last many years if you take care of them so the price is worth every penny. Purchase the Birkenstock shoe care kit. I wear a 7 1/2 to 8 and the 38 was a perfect fit.

Don't your feet deserve comfort while you walk. Your feet are worth these shoes! No, they are not hiking shoes. With the soft foot bed, try them on and you will get it! You can always send them back, but you won't.

I am a florist & stand most of the day. These are super comfortable. I wear them with socks so the fit was perfect.

I am a longtime wearer of Birkenstocks. I love these shoes! I can wear them with or without socks and they just get more comfortable as I wear them.

I gave these five stars because of the comfort, but this is the 3rd pair I have to send back because the black suede has, what appears to be machine-made markings on the tops of both shoes. Zappos customer service is superb but Birkenstock needs to be made aware that this is not a normal variation in the leather. The shoes are being damaged during manufacturing. I hate to send them back, but the "spots" look like beacons on the tops of the shoes and when you pay for new shoes you want them to look new.

I was suffering with plantar fasciitis for a few years - doing all the right things - supportive shoes, physical therapy, heel cups, etc...Someone recommended Birkenstocks - I've never looked back. Spring, summer, winter, fall - I own every style. And I will not purchase from anywhere but Zappos - if the size is incorrect for some reason I send them right back & I have the correct ones at my house in 2 days - no waiting. the customer service is unbeatable!

These shoes are incredibly comfortable! I have worn birkenstocks for years, but this is the first time I've purchased ones with the soft footbed. They were well worth it. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a very comfortable, casual shoe.

I've been wearing this style in mocha suede for about 4 years. They are still structurally sound but are now rather scuffed up and a little too "Birky" looking for me. I love the comfort and support and finally ordered a new pair in the black amalfi leather, same size. They fit just like the old pair and were every bit as comfy right out of the box. I will still wear the old pair around the house, but the new ones look much more civilized.

After trying a couple of other styles/brands of slip-ons, I ordered the Birkenstock Bostons (black suede, very sharp!). The third try was a charm (and many thanks to Zappos for their excellent return policy with free shipping which allowed me to find a style/size that worked)! I followed other reviewers advice on sizing, as I've never worn Birkenstocks (I resisted because everyone was wearing them...and now I know why - VERY comfortable!): Normally a size 6, regular width, I ordered the size 36 (women's 5-5.5) narrow width in the Birkenstocks. A perfect fit right out of the box, but I like that I can adjust the feel across the top of my foot with the strap's buckle. A little pricey, but I'm glad I gave these a try, as this has become my favorite shoe.

Simply said, these are great sandals. Pricy, but worth every penny. You will get years of wear out of them. And they get even better with time. One man's opinion, but always go with the soft foot bed. Night and day difference. Cannot go wrong with birks.

I bought these as a gift for my mom. She is always complaining that her feet hurt so I invested in these sandals for her. She loves them! She hasn't taken them off since she received them. Said they are very comfortable.

I absolutely love these shoes! I have wanted a pair for awhile and finally bought them. I did also purchase the Birkenstock Care Kit and treated them first before wearing them. These shoes are comfortable right out of the box and I expect they will get even better with wear. Also, they look pretty cute!

Birkenstocks were the only shoes that would accomodate my quickly-swelling feet when I was pregnant and now, 6 months post-partum, I just can't quit them. Seriously, every day and get ready for work and think, "I'll wear nice shoes today," but before I get out the door I have changed into my Birks. These are my cold-weather shoes and I the Gizehs are my summer shoes. Lucky for me, comfort, hippie shoes are in style right now so all my students think they are the cutest.

After 15 years of owning & loving a pair of Arizonas by Birkenstock ~ I finally ordered a new pair! Love them, but I also noticed these Boston closed toe ones. I decided to give them a try. I ordered my usual size 38 narrow & I'm in love with them!! Perfect for cooler temps. I hate socks so I wear them barefoot. When it's really cold out I wear Uggs. It's Fall here now in NJ & this Boston pair is perfect. They are super comfortable. Very light weight. I bought them in the Taupe color~ matches everything. If you're a Birkenstock fan~ you'll love these too. Yes people may think they're ugly~ I get teased enough by my family, but Birkenstock is my number one shoe to reach for. I just love the comfort, the quality & the "simpleness" of the shoe. I highly recommend this Boston pair & for open toe~ the Arizona. Both pairs in 38 narrow fit me perfectly. Happy walking~ enjoy!!

First pair of Birks and they won't be my last. I have a high arch and wide feet and these fit like a glove. Good quality and well made.
