Customer Reviews Birkenstock London

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 .

Great shoes, super comfortable like all Birkenstocks. I am a solid 42 in Europe sizing and usually a 9 or 9.5 in most shoes, but for these I had to go to a 41. They felt tight at first and I was worried they were too small, but they are perfect after wearing a few times to break in.

Love these. I am a size 8 US but went with the 38 since they run a little big. My Arizona's also are a 38. They stretch out enough after a few times of wearing and are very comfortable. A little rough when u wear them first few times so don't wear them all day until broken in a bit. Love them. I even wear them with dress pants for work. so so comfortable

Always love Birkenstocks. I like that these don't slip off but I don't like having to unbuckle every time. I gave it it a 4 on comfort because they just don't want to break in.

amazing, comfortable shoes once it has been broken in. It works great for my job since it involves a lot of standing and the shoes as I said is very comfortable. It took about 3 weeks to really break in the shoes for me.

I LOVE THESE SHOES. I purchased them to wear win the operating room. I stand on my feet all day for hours at a time and these are perfect. I highly recommend them to everyone. They have gotten all kinds of bodily fluids on them that don't belong to me and they clean well without leaving marks. They are perfect. Cannot praise these enough. The insoles are replaceable if necessary.

I've been wearing this London for 28 years...I have loved them, but with my last pair and current job, the footbed was feeling a bit hard. Also, being 28 years older...foot needs change, I'm sure. They were also 6+ years old. I was so excited to learn about the new Soft Footbed! They are amazing...my first day I wore them for 8 hours on a cement floor and I could do a happy dance when I got home!!! Thank you Zappos for carrying this quality product and your outstanding customer service!

As with all the Birkenstock sandals/clogs I have owned, these are well made, provide exceptional support, and are comfortable to wear. I prefer the Havana oil leather, because it is easy to keep looking good with Lexol leather conditioner. I usually wear mine with crew socks and these took a day's wear to break in, while I can wear Birkenstock sandals pretty much right out of the box. Highly recommended!

Really a comfortable shoe. My first pair birks, not my last. Looks more like a sandal than a shoe however. Not really something most people can wear to work. But an awesome casual shoe. I have plantar fasciitis and this shoe offered some nice relief for me.

Comfortable out of the box. These don't have the toe bar, which isn't a problem for me. The thick leather really gives the shoe a substantial feel, while the light weight really makes them easy to wear for long periods. Build quality is excellent-the footbed is made in Germany, while the upper is made in Portugal. Don't let that bother you, Portugal is known for making fine leather products and shoes. The Havana color is rich and attractive. Very happy with these.

Zappos has great quality shoes, incredible customer service, extremely quick shipping. I love the company. No complaints!

Trying to replace my original pair. I love this shoe! But my foot is too wide for the Regular. Trying to find this in wide. Plus my original pair had a kind of shiny leather-good for work, not the dull 'oil finish'.

I wrote a review May 4, 2014 singing the praises of my "career shoes." My intent was to also retire my shoes (after 28 years) when I retired. Simply said, I could not bear to just pitch them. They served me well. Thus, after new footbed and sole replacement they are just like new. Now I guess I should refer to them as my "lifetime shoes." These shoes are magnificent!

Although I've worn Birkenstock garden clogs for 23 years, this shoe bed is much different. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I think it's going to work out quite well.

I love Birkenstocks. the style is a bit clunky but the original footbed is the best therapy for my high arches. Unfortunately these are getting harder to find. I am grateful to Zappos Customer service for walking me through my order.

The 70s hippie look is growing on me; but more importantly, the cork insole and wide toe box are very comfortable for my high arched wide feet.

I am a Birkie wearer. I swear by Birkenstocks because I have four pair of the sandals in different styles. But, this is my first Birk shoe and like my others, it doesn't disappoint. I ordered my normal size of a 38 regular and it fit perfect. I didn't have any issues of having to break them in either. I thought I would because the leather seemed stiff at first but when I put them on and started walking there wasn't any issue with them not being able to give. They feel good with or without socks for me, but I am going to wear them mostly with socks. I purchased these because I didn't want to give up the comfort of Birks during the winter time since I now have to put my sandals away. I usually go back to other types of shoes in the winter months but I am finding that my feet have a hard time adjusting which is probably why during last winter I had a bunch of callouses. Anyway, these are wonderful and I am planning on getting them in brown as well.

I do surgery all day. I've worn birks for years and love them, they're the best shoes for prolonged standing. I took my London to the cobbler and got vibram soles put on to prevent slipping in blood etc. Not the best looking but definitely the most comfortable shoe you will own after a month of wearing in.

Great Birkenstock comfort in a fully closed shoe. The leather looks incredible and easily slips on. Wore with a light sock, but there was some color transfer to the sock. Put them on and wore them all day.

These Birks are exactly what I thought U wanted and the speedy service through Zappos was exceptional! The Birks are perfect for work and commuting on my bycycle because the are comfortable. Yes I will buy them again if these wear out someday.

These are Birkenstock shoes with the authentic cork bed and wide at the toe. This is the second pair of London style shoes that I have purchased. The first were brown and so fantastic that bought the black, too. Know that I buy a LOT of Birkenstocks. I mean a LOT - my wife hardly wears any other shoe because of a bout with plantar fascitis and discovering that Birkenstocks offers the proper support for her foot.

Love them. I previously wore regular width for Birkenstocks, but because of stock, and reading reviews of it running a little wide, I opted for the narrow. Fits perfectly.

There will be a breaking in period and it sucks I work at a hospital and clean rooms so I walk a lot, so wear them a three hours day and then switch to your normal shoes. They will loosen up the strap that goes over the foot is very short I have very thin feet it took four days of pulling and the leather breaking it to buckle to the third hole. They have four holes to make the buckle tighter. Use some mink oil to help the process of breaking in faster. They have still not broken in. With time they will. I can see micro amounts of progress which means they will last forever. The break in process may take longer I'm guessing than Birks sandal due to your foot being fully covered. They are not comfortable out of the box.
