Fit was as expected. The leather is so nice, as his the color.

Love them but the regulars are very wide, I can't wear them at all without thick socks.

This classic Birkenstock clog is a great shoe, but not a great shoe for me. It's slightly bigger and wider than what I need. When I used to have a lot of foot swelling, with socks these were great. But I no longer have this swelling, so I have not been able to wear them anymore, even with socks.

I ordered size 38/narrow and it fits like a glove! Very comfortable right out of the box and I really like the soft foot bed. They don’t flop around on my feet and will be great with socks come colder weather! I also really like that the inside of the toe has a protective coat as so the toes are stronger and won’t stain the feet. Get these, they are worth it!

Women should definitely consider the narrow in this style! Made the mistake of not reading the reviews and realizing this was a unisex style. My feet aren’t what I would describe as narrow, so I selected “Women” and ordered my usual size 39. When I got them, my feet were swimming width wise and lengthwise. Pro-tip: if you order the narrow in your usual size, this will solve the problem; 39 narrow were shorter and narrower, and fit perfectly.

At first, the width seemed a little tight, but after a couple of days of wearing, things were fine. I love Birkenstock shoes and wear them almost exclusively.

Like a teddy bear for my feet! 20 years ago Birkenstocks were my go-to shoe until a summer camping trip in FL shrunk the soles (thanks 100+ temps!). After that, I swore them off. Now, I’m older, wiser, and have more foot pain. The Birks are back and better than ever! The narrow is perfect for my lay-dee feet. I’m an 8-8.5 in all shoes and the 39/8 women’s runs true to size. Welcome back to my closet, besties!

Lightweight and very comfortable. Like the adjustable strap. I normally wear a size 8 (narrow if possible) but the 38 was perfect.

My regular size 38 that i wear in birk sandels was my perfect size for these. They feel awesome right out of the box! I like them better without socks. Wearing socks they seem to pull the sock tight on my toe while slipping into the shoe. No worries from me. I love them!

Okay first off I love Birkenstocks. Second these were very popular when I was in high school which was about 20 years ago. I have always loved them and it’s nice to see them making a come back! Never had the mocha color until now and I LOVE the color for Fall/winter. Soft footbed is comfy. I’m a 5 1/2-6 in most woman’s shoes. I’m a solid 35 In Birkenstocks. I can wear a 36 but the footbed just doesn’t line up on my feet as well. In Boston’s I like a regular width. Because I like to wear socks with them. Style, I might be biased. I think they pair nicely with skinny jeans. Barefoot or with cute socks.

Perfect Birkenstock clog. All the comfort of Birks in a shoe for the colder months. Great with socks or without. True to size. Small note: shoes arrived without a box in an unmarked plastic Amazon bag without any other packaging. A little odd for Birkenstocks and Zappos.

I think some of the suede imperfections are part of the manufacturing process and can easily be buffed out. But, if they can't be buffed out and/or have tiny cuts in the suede, they go back and I order another pair.

This is my first pair of Birk clogs, and my first experience with the Soft footbed as my other Birks are the sandals in the OG footbed. I LOVE the soft footbed, and will now be a convert, as they have no break in period, and in my opinion, are more comfortable. I would buy them in your normal Birk size, and adjust the strap if you need room for socks. I’m a size 9 in sneakers, and that’s a 41 in Birks for me. I will say that according to the size chart that you can use on the inside of every box, I’m a size 40. I do have a pair of sandals in a 40, and they work fine, but I think that would be too small in a clog, as the toe is closed. Hope that helps!!

I have several pairs of Birkenstock sandals, but this is my first pair of Birks clogs. They fit exactly like my Arizonas. Incredibly comfortable, can't wait to wear them this fall (both with and without socks). I ordered the stone coin suede, and the color is perfect. I did also get a Birkenstock care kit to waterproof/stainproof the suede -- it is a fairly light gray and I can definitely see them becoming stained if I drop my coffee on them :)

I ordered these because the description said regular. Upon checking the birkenstock website, they categorized regular as wide also, so I assumed these would fit that description as well. Nope. They are narrow. Too bad because I really like these shoes. Had to return, unfortunately.

This is my fourth pair of clogs of this style. I wore my last pair until the sole wore away on the heel. These are extremely comfortable, especially the soft sole. I finally snagged a pair in black, which I’ve wanted for many hears (last pair was oiled brown leather). These are my favorite cold weather casual shoes and I usually wear with wool boot socks. I highly recommend even though they aren’t on the style cutting edge!

I love these so much! They are definitely on the wider side, but very comfortable. I would suggest doing your research on narrow vs wide fit for the best fit.
