Customer Reviews Birkenstock London

Great shoe! Not sure I would like it from the pictures, but it fits and look great on.

I love all Birkenstocks, but I've never had a pair of Londons but wanted them for work. I always wear 39 although I wear a size 9 and have wide forefoot and high arch and my toes go right to the end, but never really hit. When I tried my usual 39 regular, my second to last toe hit the end, and it's just not the right kind of shoe for that to happen- and I didn't have socks on yet, so i tried a 40 - and they are a bit roomy, but i know once they melt into my feet, they will curve and fit perfect. I should probably be wearing a 40 anyway. They are beautifully made shoes and the leather is a dulled surface but smooth - will only get better with time.

I got these because they looked hand made. Birkies fit like gloves and this one fit almost too well...I got a little claustrophobic because I was strapped in so well, my feet didn’t move inside at all. My problem is that I have two bones growths on the top of my foot and the shoe rubbed one of those to the point of raw. I loved them, but had to send them back.

I love these shoes! The first pair I ordered was too wide but Zappos customer service was wonderful. They made the return very easy and my replacement pair came immediately!

I have been using this shoe for work for the last 4 years. Gets more comfortable every day. Has held up very well!

That was 2nd. pair shoes are perfect shipping & price very very good

Like most birks they are a bit sloshy but very comfortable.

I have had many pairs of Birkenstocks since 1989, but never had a closed toe version. I’m so thankful there are narrow sizes available for my super narrow feet. I am an art teacher and I’m on my feet all day 5 days a week and these were wonderful in the winter. I wear a 7.5 and the 38 is perfect for me.

I just ordered my second pair of these after retiring my original pair with 8+ years of nursing wear on them. All I had to do was have them resoled every year or 2 when they would wear down before the cork finally started ripping and the seams started to come apart. I feel like I got way more than my money's worth out of that one pair of shoes. They took me through over 8 years of 12 hour shifts on my feet, a lot of that overtime, and I don't remember ever complaining about my feet hurting. Birkenstocks are an up front investment but every pair I've ever had is well worth the money.

I have a mildly fallen arch, if I walk around barefoot for a day my arch and shin aches, but after an hour in this shoe all my pains fade away. Highly recommended, but they are so ugly they draw attention.

These are my go to work shoes most of the time. LOVE them! They are so comfortable and my feet rarely hurt after being on them all day. Definitely recommend these!

I love these shoes. I actually have 2 pair of the Black and 2 pair of the Blown. After a year+ of wearing them they get a little wrinkled looking and become my long-walk/get dirty pair. I've worn them with and without socks and think they are extremely comfortable. I have psoriatic arthritis in my foot/feet and these shoes provide total relief. I even prefer them to going barefoot. I also have several pair of Birkenstock sandals but I think that these are even more comfortable because they completely enclose my foot. They run wide, so the narrow is like a normal width. Otherwise the sizing seems accurate. All around an excellent shoe.

I love Birkenstocks!!! They are the best shoe for my feet and they last forever! I saw this shoe and I had to have it.

i loved how this looked, but it was too tight across the ball and top of my foot and then too long in the toes which made me sad.

I love these shoes. The heel rubbed for the first 2-3 days, but after that they are perfect.

I LOVE these shoes!! They take some time to brake in, but once they are, they are pure heaven!

So comfortable for work. The back rubs against your ankle a little bit until they are broken in but they are still great.

I love these shoes. My feet feel so good when I wear these. I have some issues with shoes being too tight around the toe area and then my feet start hurting, but not with these shoes. There is plenty of room for my toes. Very comfortable shoes!

These are so comfortable! Like all Birkenstocks, you have to wear them in and get them to mold to your feet, but now I basically live in them! Zappos.com was great to work with and the shoes came quickly! I will definitely order from them again!

Oh my gosh I am a brickenstock girl. I am waiting a hip replacement. I work in a job were I need to wear business casual. These are casual but dressy enough for work. What I was looking for was support . To help me find some comfort until I have my hip replacement. And have comfort and style. I so love these shoes. I have many different styles and plan to get more!

I have 3 pairs of Birkenstock sandals, all in the same size. Bought this pair in the same size and they were far too small.

After a year's worth of running injury recovery, I decided to give Birkenstocks a try again. I wore them in college in the early-mid 90s, and I really liked them. I went to the local Birkenstock shop and tried on the Arizona (I used to wear the Milano). They initially felt stiff and unrelenting, similar to my custom orthotics when I was breaking them in. Because of my foot problems, the SA recommended the original footbed over the soft, and I agree, that was the right choice. I got a pair that day in black, but then ordered the red nubuck soft footbed version from Zappos, for a more "fashionable" look. One of my friends swears she'd rather die than wear Birkenstocks, I told her that was her choice, but my feet are happy, and I'll continue to wear my Birks around her. Ha! So back to the shoes - when you first wear them, wear them only for 30 minutes or so, increasing your time each day. They do feel odd at first, but they really will form to your feet. I convinced my boyfriend who has some foot and back problems, to try them out. He hated them initially, said they felt like cork blocks, but now he puts them on when he gets home from work, so he can recover from being on his feet all day. He can't wear them to work, but wears them as house shoes. I recently started a part time retail holiday job, and they asked me to stay on permanently, 1-2 shifts a week. My day job is an office job, so I had to get used to a lot of standing again. I can't wear open toe/back shoes, and thought the London would be a good alternative to running shoes for my new retail gig, which is all standing/walking. The London is stiffer than the Arizona, probably because there's a lot more structure to the shoe. I wear a 6.5-7 D, and the 37 is perfect. I have to pull the strap pretty hard to get it closed, as I need to wear it on the 2nd hole, but I'm sure the leather will soften over time. They were a bit "blocky" feeling at first wearing, but I was able to wear them for a 6 hour shift without issue. No blisters, and my back felt great at the end of the day. They are not the cutest shoes, but I think I rock them pretty well with boot cut jeans or tights and a dress.

Pretty good so far. I've owned several pairs of Birkenstocks and these feel similar to the others. The leather heel doesn't rub or anything which I was concerned about. The biggest difference is the footbed of this shoe doesn't have the toe ridges I haven't noticed much difference in wearing them, but that's something to note if you've had trouble with that feature in the past.

Most comfortable work shoes I have ever owned. Wonderful arch support. Love the heel cup also.

I ordered these a while ago but I haven't worn them yet, they feel comfortable when I try them on, but they're a little bit loose in the style, and that will take some getting used to. For me I have to adjust the straps when I take them on or off, but some people might be able to slip them on .
