A great shoe -
These are wonderful shoes. I order these a little before our twin boys were born and I got to wear them through delivery and the time they spend at the hospital. I never had to worry about my feet being sore or tired they are great!

The most comfortable shoes ever…
I work at a bakery, so I have to stand up for hours on end and I really needed comfortable shoes…Birkenstocks were the answer. They were really uncomfortable for the first two days, but after that it became one with the foot…ha ha ha and they're gorgeous! I was looking to get a pair of Crocs, but they are so fugly I just couldn't buy them. Ahaha over all, I definitely recommend these.

Feet savers -
I am currently serving my first tour in Iraq and let me tell you... strapping these super-comfy bad boys on my feet after a long day has recently become a daily favorite! Zappos did a fantastic job of a no hassle and super-fast on-line purchasing experience for me... it took but 4 days to receive my dog-savers :) Thank you Zappos and thank you Birkenstock for keeping my dogs happy!

Great shoe!
I bought these for my daughter to wear. She needs to wear orthodics and couldn't put them in any other 'clogs' that we bought for her. These don't need the orthodics because of the excellent arch support already in them. They were worth waiting for...didn't have her size for awhile but the email notification system works great! Zappos is a great place to shop. I highly recommend them.

Five stars for Zappos and for these shoes!
I bought these shoes now anticipating a break in period before the cooler months -- no real need to do so with these Birkies. Love them!!! I would suggest that women order narrow width. I had to return the first pair ordered for size. Zappos makes returns so easy -- just print return label from this site, and drop off to UPS. Within a week, I returned the shoes, had the credit posted to my account, reordered, and received the new shipment. Very fast!!!

Another WONDERFUL pair of Birkenstocks!
Many thanks to ZAPPOS! My daughter loves her newest pair of Birkenstocks. I was eager to see and feel the soft footbed in a clog. I own a pair of sandals with the soft footbed and wear them quite often. The clog will provide excellent support as my daughter wears them this school year. I am so impressed with the customer service, quality, and price ZAPPOS is able to provide its customers. As a mother of two children, I applaud your efforts to offer competitive prices and an AWESOME delivery/return process. We'll be back for more soon.

I LOVE THESE. I work on my feet for long hours and needed a shoe that would work. I have high arches and can never find a shoe that has a high enough arch. The Birks molded to my feet with in a day of wearing them and just hated to take them off. They have replaced almost off my shoes and sneakers. They are lil more functional than sneakers for me and go with a bunch of stuff. Fashion is always on my mind, but comfort is too.

Awesome comfort -
I failed to allow time to break in my new soft bed clogs before leaving for a 3-week tour of Europe. No problem--there was virtually no break-in time! I have worn primarily Birkenstocks for many years and was surprised to learn that a way had been found to improve upon an already great product. I highly recommend the soft footbed, though the style choices are limited.

Wonderful for painful feet -
I have a number of medical conditions: I have pins in my feet following a serious accident, Plantar fasciitis (I wear custom orthotics for that), and Lymphedema in both my legs. I need comfort, arch support, and protection against bruising, stubbing, cuts etc. because injury with Lymphedema can lead to amputation. For sneakers I wear New Balance, shoes I wear Dansko, and clogs I wear softbed Birkenstocks. The soft footbed is easy on the pins in my feet. The anatomical design allows me to wear them without orthotics and I have walked into all kinds of things and not felt any pain. I have a habit of crossing my legs and swinging my foot. My cat thinks it’s a game and will claw and chew at my clogs. These are basically indestructible and I don't feel a thing.
Yeah, they're not so hot to look at, but if you wear some funky glasses, get a daring haircut, and drink an espresso while carrying The New Yorker under your arm, people think you're philosophical and trendy in an off-the-beaten path kind of way. LOL!

Soft Footbed Birks -
About the look--what can I say--they're Birks! But they are VERY comfortable.

The Birkenstock Boston's are fantastic. Just as a reminder Birkenstock's run big. Order a size smaller than you would any other shoe. I had to send the first pair back.

Birks are always the best for comfort.
This is my first Soft Footbed Birk. I couldn't believe that Birkenstock could make their shoe even more comfortable!!!

Soft footbeds the best!
I have "problem feet" with various problems including Morton’s Neuroma’s. The soft footbed Birkenstocks are the only shoes I can wear and be pain free.

Great shoe. However not happy with how the box arrived. Shoes were loose in a box that was not original shoe box. No protective packaging at all. Expect more from Zappos.

I ordered the regular/wide even though Birkenstock says the narrow version fits most women. Glad I did. Fit well and nice color. Only complaint is that they arrived with a smudge on the toe that won't come off -- looks like a grease or oil stain.

I thought the soft footbed would be softer than the original but it's really not. I'm really not sure why they are called soft footbed. These are really cute and stylish with any outfit.

I ordered the narrow in size 39 after trying on the regular width in a shoe store. The length was good, but my feet were too narrow for them. I ordered the 39 in narrow and found it ran small in the narrow width and had to size up.

The Birkenstock suede clogs were just as described and pictured. I got size 38 which fit perfectly. I generally wear a size 7.5 medium in shoes. They are comfortable and easy to walk in.
