Customer Reviews Birkenstock London

I work in a factory where I am on my feet for 10 hour shifts. I love these shoes! My feet are comfortable and so is my back. I used the sizing guide for both length and width, actually using a measuring tape. They fit perfectly. This was an excellent purchase!

Have shopped at Zappos for years. Very consistent. Receive purchase when they say. Returns are very easy. Birkenstocks are the most comfortable shoe on the planet. I wear these shoes around my home, to give my feet a break from wearing work boots all day. I have a high arch and my feet and back tend to get sore if I don't have good support. You will find relief with thus brand of shoe. It does take about a month for your feet to mold the cork insole. After that, ahhhh what a relief! I have found ordering Birks a 1/2 size larger is your best bet.

I have diabetes with some nerve damage from prescription medications. These shoes are comfortable and allow me to walk comfortably 3-6 miles daily. What I especially like is the ridge by the toe area that allows full flex of foot while walking.

Nothing beats Birkenstock for comfort. Period. They do not make the Alton leather clog anymore but this is a nice substitute.

You don't even have to wear socks during the winter for these leather shoes to keep feet your feet warm. For someone who has a narrow heel they may be a tad loose in the back. It was uncomfortable at first since they constantly would slip off my heel, but after I got used to it these shoes became even more comfortable. As far as looks go, they aren't the most stylish shoe, but its fairly easy to make them stylish with the proper outfit. The brown looks especially rich and can be worn dresses up or casual. Overall if your feet ache day in and day out, spend the money...it's worth it.

Zappos size chart is incorrect for this shoe. My son wears a size 10 1/2, which Zappos list as a size 43. When the shoe came it was too small and said size 10/43on the box. We had to go up to a 44 for size 10 1/2.

I have worn Birkenstock sandals for years and always dreaded the coming of the cold when I had to give up my beloved Birks. I finally decided to get some Birkenstock "real shoes" this year and I couldn't be happier. They feel just like my sandals, but I can wear them even when the weather is cold or rainy. They are perfect! Who cares if they are stylish - my feet don't hurt after standing all day long. I like them so much I decided to get another pair in black.

I love these shoes! They look and feel wonderful. Comfortable, wide space for my toes and they fit my very wide feet just perfectly. The only negative is you have to open the buckle to get them over your heel.

These are great sturdy shoes. Be warned, if you have never worn Birkenstocks before the shoes are heavily contoured and stiff and quite painful until you break them in and get your feet to adjust to them. After that though, they are very comfortable.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Even better, I've found that they can be repaired/resoled, just like my Birkenstock sandals! I have plantar fascia and walk quite a bit every day with the dog, and this is the first shoes I've owned that prevent howling feet at the end of the day. When I first got them, they weren't really my style (I've never owned clogs or anything), but I have to say they're growing on me.

These were my first pair of London's, but not my first pair of Birkenstocks. They are awesome. I debated between the soft and regular footbeds (I have Birkenstocks with both), but went with the hard one. There are strong opinions on which is better, and honestly I think they both have merits. The soft one doesn't require a break in period. But I think once broken in, they're equally comfortable. My one tiny irritation with the oiled leather: it bleeds. Badly. Like, turns my feet/socks completely black and it's hard to get off, especially my bare feet. But I prefer the way oiled leather ages, so it's a compromise. There's also so much debate in Birkenstock sizing, but I -- 100% of the time -- wear a 44; and I'm 100% of the time a US men's 11. I've owned many Birks, too. As for the style, I think they get a bad rap because they conjure hemp, tie-dye and other style infractions. You don't have to be that person. I am not a hippie and I have deep love for these shoes. In terms of comfort, they are in a league all their own. And there's nothing stopping you from wearing them with stylish clothes.

Zappos was great and I got the order in a much shorter amount of time (1 day!) than the 4-5 day estimate. These shoes were a doozy to properly fit, however, be warned. I am a long time Birkenstock wearer. I ave a pair or Birkenstock Paris, bought in 1997 and still going strong. I have another pair of Florida sandals that fit my feet like a glove. For both, I wear a 39 wide (or regular, following Birkenstock terminology). However, these London (made in 2014) in the Habana Oiled fit totally small! I tried on the 39 wides (regular) which were too small. Tried the 40 wides (regular), too big. Decided to try the London 40 narrows on a whim and they fit perfectly! I had tried on another version of Birkenstock Londons at a local dealer (didn't have it in this oiled leather) but it must've been some kind of older stock because the 39 regulars fit met, as expected. I don't know if these Birkenstock professional series fit a little funny or or if the 2014 versions are off somehow but you've been warned about the sizes, people. Now that I've found the right size, I do love them and never want to take them off.

I've been wearing this style for 15+ years. Great fit and comfort (after week-long break in period).

I have purchased Birkenstocks before at Zappos, a sandal, and have been very pleased both with the shoe itself and the fit. I have heel pain and the arch support soothes this problem. I wear these shoes with socks and there is plenty of room.

I ordered the wrong size the first try. Zappos return was simple and quick. As for the shoes, they are great. Can't wait to get another color.

Beautifully constructed robe but the fabric is substandard for this brand and price. Normal wear resulted in multiple pulled threads dangling from the front and sleeves of the robe within one week! Looks tacky. If I still had the packing I would return it. Not a good value.

Amazing, comfortable and stylish! And definitely worth the price. I will be purchasing another pair later this year. And the shipping with Zappos was remarkably quick. Kudos to you Zappos!

I bought my Birkenstocks in 1988 while stationed in Germany and call them my "Career Shoes." In 26 years I have only replaced the soles twice, once in 1996 and again just last month, where I also had to have a piece of leather placed in the foot-bed since the shapes of the bottom of my feet have worn clear through the cork. They continue to be unbelievably comfortable. Perhaps that's why I love them so. I am in the medical profession (anesthesia) and have put long hours in while wearing these shoes. Not once have my feet hurt. That speaks to the comfort, quality and support of Birkenstock shoes. All but four years have been spent in this one pair of shoes and I'm confident they will last until I retire. Buy these and you'll be delighted!

As a chef on my feet 50-60 hours a week, I'm pleased to say I've finally found the ultimate kitchen shoe. They're very comfortable, in usual Birkenstock fashion, and I find my feet stay drier in these than the rubbery Birki style. And they're way less narrow and constricting than Danskos. The only downside would be the air vents on the top of the foot...these could be sketchy should hot liquid be splashed on your feet...but they're so comfortable, I'm willing to take that chance. Just bought my second pair, but not my last, not by a long shot.

Another pair of wonderful shoes! As a person with myriad foot issues these are the only shoes that I find comfortable. They wear like cast iron and if the soles wear out, it's very inexpensive to get them replaced by Birkenstock. These shoes are from cheap, but are well worth the price as the last longer than any other show I've ever worn.

Sturdy and good looking, these just saved my life. 2 months ago, I broke my foot along the length of 2 metatarsal bones. I drive a manual Jeep and so could not wear the Dr.s "Boot". The stiff sole with arch support kept my bones aligned and are helping me heal and drive (limited). The only shoe break in for me was the heel. The enclosed heel of the shoe slanted + pushed my foot fwd onto the front rim, or it rubbed my heel. After about 2 weeks, it all is fine. This is my 3rd pair of Birks.

I have had owned Birkenstock sandals for over 20 years. I could not be happier with the fit and finish of my new London clogs. The quality and workmanship of this brand has not diminished at all over the years.

I love these shoes. They were comfortable as soon as I put them on, but as the cork starts to conform to my foot they become better and better. I had the same style years ago and they, too, were well-made, long-lasting shoes. I highly recommend. I have a narrower heel with a wide foot and these fit great. I think they're pretty darn cute, too.

I always wear Birkenstock clogs and sandals. I always wanted a pair of the Birkenstock shoes, but I live in a small town and never could try them on in a regular shoe store. For Christmas I asked for a pair since I live in Wi. I needed a pair of shoes and not clogs. We found these at Zappos, ordered them and they came quickly. I love them; they feel wonderful. Since I have a lot of foot problems the Dr. said Birkenstocks were the best option. There is plenty of room in the toe box and amazing support in the shoe. Very happy with them.

Love these, very comfortable (I am on my feet most of the day). Plenty of support and they are cool looking!
