Brought my first pair of sandals this summer they were so comfortable. So I decided to purchase the Boston for the winter they feel as comfortable right out of the box

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

Birks are the best! Oddly I take a regular width in the Arizona's but a narrow in these, which took a few tries to figure out, but as always zappos has the best customer service around.

Ever since I broke my ankle and had it repaired (3 plates & 13 screws) my foot doesn't always feel stable when I stand on it. I ordered these clogs in hopes that the modeled arch support would help stabilize it. And they fit perfectly! Thanks to Zappos also for their speedy, reliable delivery service! Kudos!

My husband and I both got these shoes and we both love them. The Birkenstock footbed is great, and the suede is much softer on the tops of the toes than leather. And the dark color is very rich and nice looking.

Love this classic shoes for comfort around the house or walking the dog. I took a 39 when I am usually a 8 1/2-9. They are a little big but I thought the 38 would be too small if I wear thick socks.

Ordered 10 for husband (his normal size) and they were too big. Fits in size 9. He's very happy with them. FYI: All Birkenstocks run wide! The narrow width heel cup is to narrow though. Had to make tighter buckle slots.

I bought these for my husband and he rated it all around five stars. They are supportive and comfortable in every way according to him. He has encouraged me to get some too.

I've had some Birk sanders for a while now and love them so much that I wanted a cool weather option. These fit the bill and are just as comfortable as my old sandals. Love them!

Liked strength of suede while being softer and more flexible than leather. Great quality. Style is not particularly appealing, but not unappealing. Like many Birkenstocks, they are selected for comfort rather than appearance. Still searching for a pair of Birkenstocks that fit my feet. These seemed a bit wide without socks. My second toe is a long one, and touched the end when rest of my foot sat over arches properly, and then heel wasn't all the way back in the heel pocket. Think my feet just don't match the Birkenstock for bed. If they had fit, I would have kept them with delight. Sadly, returned do to sizing/fit issues.

The customer service reps were outstanding! I first ordered the wrong size shoe, called them immediately and they fixed the order and upgraded my Shipping to 2 day. I receive my shoes there a little wider than expected, I had a reorder the narrow ones and they were here the next day! Great customer service!

My wife has been wearing the Boston since we met 22 years ago...same shoe, same size. They never change and she loves them. Almost considered the new cushioned sole, but stayed with the classic. Great shoe, long lasting.

I am solidly a women's size 7 (literally every pair of shoes I own is size 7), so I ordered the 38s. They were way too big, which I unfortunately didn't realize until after I had treated them with waterproofing. I ordered the 37s and they fit like a dream. So comfortable! I wear them all the time, especially as house shoes. I wound up giving the 38s to my mom as an early Christmas gift. Highly recommend this shoe, but definitely beware on the sizing -- if you are on the fence at all, order a size smaller than you normally would.

Love my Birkenstock. I'm really rough on shoes and end up buying a new pair about once a year. This is my color of choice this year. Love the support these provide. Bought Birkenstock insoles for my other shoes that have no support. Had developed plantar fasciitis and running shoe specialist recommended Birkenstock. It's been a God send!

Love my new Birkenstocks! Expensive, but worth it. The footbed is so comfortable, & the suede is very forgiving on my hard to fit left foot. Highly recommend them, in any style! But I do wish the suede was offered in black with a black sole; I only saw a white sole which I didn't like.

I could buy Birkenstocks from a lot of different places. The customer service from Zappos is outstanding though. They arrive lightening fast with no problems. One time I made the mistake of not updating my new address. I called Zappos and they send out a new pair of shoes to my new address immediately and didn't charge me for my error!

I love my Boston Suede (unisex) Birkenstock slides. Ever since I got them I cannot stop wearing them. They are the most comfortably casual footwear that I own. The design, color, size and fit make it more appealing. I was so impressed that I ordered two other styles of Birkenstock and a pair of sneakers. Thanks to Zappos for making them available for hard to fit people. You have won a loyal customer. Great job, guys!

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I can't wait for winter to come so I have more opportunity to wear them. The soft bed is like a pillow top mattress for my feet.

Bought these for my mother who has worn Birks for years. She loves them for her bad back. It does take a while for the foot bed to conform to your foot but ultimately they are super comfortable.

Both my sons have been wearing Birkenstock for years. We always bought from the same small shoe store. Were at a loss when we moved 4 months ago and then I discovered Zappos. This company has been a blessing. With VIP, I ordered one morning and my son had his perfect shoes in less than 24 hours. Thanks for remarkable service.

Love these shoes. I got a pair in 2001 and they lasted me until I got them too close to a bonfire last year (that's over 10 years)! The replacement is just as good, and I'm looking forward to the next 10+ years.

I was not so sure on the color but it is wearing on me. I love the high arch support these ones have. They look so German and I feel like a European wearing them and they go with almost any jeans I have. Great quality shoe but very expensive! I would recommend some water resistant spray on them, to keep them more water proof since they are suede. I say go for it! So comfy.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I love them, they are the perfect casual weekend shoe. Did have to buy a half size down, I think because of the European sizing.

Bought these for my 70+ Mom to replace a pair that she has had for decades. She was so happy - an exact replica. The color, narrow size, etc. But she thought they were on the small side. She was set to settle - she could make do. She is far from computer savvy so I gave her Zappos customer service # and told her you guys would take care of everything - and fast. You did. Thanks for treating my Mom with service she hasn't experienced in years.

These are totally worth the money! Super comfortable, durable, and lightweight. The shoe width runs wide so I'd recommend the "narrow" fitting...plus, if they don't fit, you can always return them for a different pair (thanks Zappos!).
