I love these and wear them all the time. They are comfortable the minute you put them on. They run a little big and wide, so I bought a 39 Narrow though I wear a 9 and the guidelines recommend a 40.

Really love these shoes! They're more cushioned than regular Birkenstocks. I wear them around the house. Always such a treat to put these on. These run small, so plan to order one size larger than you normally wear in Birks.

Very comfortable and practical. I keep these shoes by the front door so that I can just slip them on and go. (I have the same shoes in suede that I use as my in-house shoes, and they are wonderful for this purpose.) I knit my own socks, and these shoes are perfect, since they fit well with the socks and show off my hard work. I wear a size 8 or 8 1/2 medium width in most women's shoes and the size 39 (regular width) in these fit well, particularly with handknit socks.

Have had these for a few months. Wear these daily and I love them. Wouldn't trade them for any other ones (except more Birkenstock). They are so comfy. Sometimes you have to pay a little bit more for what you need.

I almost sent these back because the first time I tried them on, they felt really loose. The suede is very soft and I thought that even though I had the shoes buckled as tight as possible, they would fall off my feet while I was walking. Am I glad I gave them a chance though! They are so comfortable, and after wearing them once I realized my initial impression was wrong. I also ordered a pair with the regular footbed, and these two pairs are the only shoes I wear. They aren't the prettiest shoes, but they make my feet very happy. Great for long walks too.

I have worn Birkenstock sandals for years, but never have I had their clogs. I have flat feet and was dying to try the "soft" footbed. I ordered a 37 since I usually wear that in Birkenstock sandals. They were just too small. My toes kept bumping the edges of the clog. I exchanged for a 38 and am SO HAPPY. It is literally like walking on a cloud. My feet never tire. The taupe color does get dirty easily, and shows spots, but I don't mind. I will wear these until they fall apart!

I have had Arizona's for years and wanted something for winter. Boston's fit the bill. Fit is better with socks, but that was my intention. Soft footbed is terrific.

Classic Birkenstock - super comfortable, nicely made. They feel a little big but I think that's also normal for Birks. Love the way the gray felt looks.

Love! I've worn Birk's sandals for years, but this is my first actual shoe. I decided I needed the same comfort during the winter too. I had to return the first pair & re-order it in the narrow (even though I don't normally wear narrow)...much better. The Birk footbed is so perfect for me, that I even keep a pair next to the bed for "slippers." Love Zappos service - they make it so easy and enjoyable!

Love these shoes. Still have to grip a little to keep them on, as with the classic Birkenstock sandals. Might buy the clogs with the back for a second pair.

It's like heaven sent down a perfect shoe for those suffering from foot issues...don't even hesitate to buy these! Yes, they are a tad bit dorky, and yes your friends may even tease you for wearing them. However, when you slip your poor painful feet into a pair of Birks all that goes out the window! None of that matters. Only the comfort and support you receive. So, wear them proud my friends and your feet will thank you.

I broke my toe and these shoes were perfect for the weeks it took to heal - definitely a "wide" fit in the standard width. Very comfortable, but definitely a "hippie" vibe stylistically - not a surprise if you're shopping for Birks.

These are the perfect winter clog - plenty of room for wool socks - great support - and easy to slip on & off.

Love these slip on clogs. The soft footbed is nice; however, I prefer the regular sole. I love these shoes though and will keep ordering.

I am so very impressed with the customer service being helpful, efficient, and friendly. Not only that, the delivery was amazingly quick. I had an initial problem with the first pair of shoes and returned them, a process made easy by Zappos. A replacement pair was delivered the next day without charging me again! I plan to order again when I next travel to the USA.

This is my first time trying the soft foot bed and I am very pleased. I usually wear a 7 1/2-8 shoe and my foot is a C width and I have high arches, and prone to plantar fasciitis. I went with the 38reg. and the fit is perfect. I have worn them almost every day since I received them and they have been comfortable from day one. No foot fatigue no break in time at all.

These clogs are extremely comfortable - actually the most comfortable clogs ever! Super supportive and has totally helped me with plantar fasciitis. Styling is what you make of it - clogs are not for a night out. Materials and construction are first rate.

I ordered the Boston's in a 40 narrow (I am usually a size 10) in the jasper suede. The color is awesome and they look amazing. If your feet are in any way a little narrow, I recommend the narrow.

These are absolutely amazing! This is my very first pair and I want a leather pair too. They are worth every penny! Customer service was awesome! I needed to exchange for a smaller size and they sent out a pair before I sent back the original ones I ordered with overnight shipping so I did not have to wait too long! Great experience all around!

Have worn Birkenstocks for yrs for the arch support. Soft footbed is very comfortable. True to size - they do stretch in width. They last forever.

I love these shoes. I normally wear a medium width but in this brand I need a narrow. These shoes are super supportive and cute too!

I love the traditional Birkenstocks (Arizona) and this one is no exception. I love it. I am very happy they made this one in a sift footbed. The soft footbed is the only one that works for me. I am an 8-8.5 and wear the 38 regular perfectly.

I love my new Birkenstocks; even though 1 foot is 1/2 size larger they fit very well. No need to break in. Ready out of the box. Zappos is a great place to shop.
