Very comfortable shoes but I can never tell what size to get. I tend to order Birkenstock sandals a half size “small” per their size chart and am unsure of which way to go when it comes to the clogs and closed toe shoes.

I was expecting a lot from these but they are the uncomfortable shoes I have ever purchased. I donated them as I had worn them,

Perfect teacher shoes! Comfortable and quiet! No squeaks while you’re overseeing your classrooms! And still hip enough to get a “hey, cool shoes Mrs. S!”

Very comfortable and very stylish, it took a few days for my feet to fit the shoe perfectly but after a few they fit just fine!

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.

Love the fit and the weathered leather.They were available and I didn't have to wait for Birkenstock clog to be shipped at a later date. LL Bean is a professional company and offers excellent services to their customers.

These arrived in Amazon packaging. The shoe box inside was ripped apart completely and one of the shoes was basically destroyed…missing a snap and looked to be used. I had to return. Ridiculous

I have owned a number of Birkenstock sandals so I was curious about the mules. Of course Birkenstock did not disappoint!!! Comfortable right out of the box! I have narrow feet and was worried about the mules sliding off; they don’t. Perfect! Another awesome Birkenstock purchase!! I did go up one size from my sandal size. In sandals I’m usually a 40 and I sized up to a 41 in these.

I'm rating this three stars because the color, quality was great but the right shoe was way off in construction and I had to return.

I don’t even think these are real birks. Smell like glue, sizing is off and they are scuffed. Also were delivered in an Amazon truck. Won’t be ordering from Zappos again! Returning .

Went off measurements for the correct size. My son wore them 2 days and they look way too big now as the shade gives in. A lot of money sadly went to waste.

I put off purchasing these shoes because it seems I see them everywhere. I finally did it when I wore out my Birkenstock sandals this year and now I see what the fuss is about…comfort! Thanks for making comfortable shoes “stylish”. On a one week vacation I wore these with skirts, wool tights and a dress, leggings and crop top, lounge pants like sweats, and also to work for a couple days. I felt perfectly comfortable in all occasions and I have put many miles on already with no signs of wear. There was no need for “breaking in”. I sized up for room with socks and for a bunion and am so happy to have these finally. The taupe color is almost like cement and it goes with just about everything. I prefer this style with the copper colored metallic buckle instead of the plastic pieces on some others. Such a versatile well-made shoe. Five stars all around.

Product shipped from Amazon in a Generic Box! Suede was dirty looking. Very upsetting my order shipped from Amazon when I placed order from Zappos and was not notified shoes were not coming from Zappos and not in Original Box. I seriously question if the shoes are even Authentic Birkenstocks.
Will NOT be ordering from Zappos again!
SADLY!!

Size was a bit big. the left button broke after only 2 months of owning. I wore these 8 times tops, and only to do errands, not walking any great distance. for $160 shoes I was highly disappointed.

I have the Boston shearling in size 41 but found the soft footbed style in 41 was too large and the toe grip felt weird. Size 40 is perfect and I can wear socks comfortably with this style. I might have to buy these in several colors!

I bought the mocha color in August of 2023. Have worn them without socks a few times but prefer to wear them with thin socks. The suede upper is very soft and comfy and does stretch with wear. LLBean sells these in the narrow width only so I had to get a size larger than I would take in the regular width. In the Mayari and Gizeh I wear a 36 (in the regular/wide width) but bought these in 37 after trying on 36 and 37 narrow in a local store. The 37 is really a bit too long but the 36 in narrow was painful to my toes. The width in these really is more about the shape of the front of the foot than the volume of the foot. I wish LLBean sold these and other Birks in the regular/wide width. The Birks box has a sizing outline guide which illustrates my point. The footbed shape in narrow does not match the shape of my foot like the regular/wide does. I am a small woman (5' 2" about 105 lbs) but I need the wide width.
