I have had several pairs of Birkestocks before. Typically clogs without the backs. These shoes solve the problem of them slipping off at that inopportune moment or having water slip in the back, making my socks wet. I love the two tone color of the soft woolly front with the wonderful leather. They are very very comfortable. I love the fact that my feet don't feel pinched and feel so comfortable walking around NYC or driving my car in these. I highly recognize these. Keep in mind because they are slightly wider than a normal shoe that you can buy them at exactly the right length that you need and your entire foot will fit.

First I love the fact they are made in Germany and NOT China! I have narrow feet that hurt in almost every shoe but these fit me great and take away all the pain. I usually buy 8.5-9 narrow shoes and went with the 39 narrow in these and they fit great. I love Zappo's service and how quickly they get the shoes to your door. I ordered yesterday afternoon and they were at my door by 1pm the next day.

Excellent shoe. It does seem to run both long and wide so keep that in mind when choosing your size.

I recently ordered these because I have bunions that have been bothering me. It's really amazing how incredible these shoes are. I have always worn birks sandals in the past but haven't for a few years. Coming back to them it was just how clear the quality is. They are so supportive!!! And so much room in the toe bed. I read other reviews about the back rubbing, so I've been wearing socks and have had no problems. Wonderful supportive comfortable high quality as usual from Birkentstock.

I have always been a fan of Birkenstocks for work (I am a nurse), and these are no exception. They are incredibly comfortable, super light, and the color is nice and neutral. I have never had a Birkenstock with a back; turns out, it is really nice to not occasionally step out of my shoes! I love them!

These shoes are wonderful... just like the Boston clog but enclosed. So very comfortable. Will definitely purchase again. Love my Birks!

I've been wearing the London for a month now and I love the shoe. It's "slipper" comfortable once your foot has a chance to mold to the cork footbed and they're very light and easy to wear. The leather is soft but you have to unbuckle the strap in order to get it on your foot. They have a wide tie box so they're great for someone with wide feet. They are very casual and the styling is a little clunky but they're great if you're looking for a super comfortable casual shoe. Zappos' service is outstanding. The shoes were at my doorstep the day after I ordered them.

I had to order a size down for these shoes to fit, but once the smaller size was out of the box they went on my feet in the morning and didn't come off until bedtime. They are so comfortable, not only for an inside shoe, but also for outside walking. I liked them so much that I ordered another pair, this time in the clog style with an open back. I'm very grateful to have found Zappos because of the opportunity to try different sizes in order to find that perfect style and fit!

I wondered about the sizing of these. I wear size 9.5 U.S. Chaco for example, fit perfectly in every way. European sizing on these Birkenstocks indicated #42 for a 9-9.5. If you wear a half size, you'll need to bump up to the 43. That size is unavailable which is a shame because these shoes otherwise were terrific.

I love Birkenstocks. These seem to run a little large. But if you are looking for comfort and support these are the shoes for you.

These shoes are fantastic, super comfortable, and I love the style. It runs slightly wide compared to what we're used to, but that's it's supposed to fit, and that's part of what makes it so comfortable.

You can't believe the compliments I get on these shoes. These shoes a very sharp looking. They are extremely comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time while standing.
These shoes will break in after only a few wears and will become slightly roomier in the width and length.
These shoes are well worth the money.

These are perfect! If you need something for work with a closed heel, here's your deal. Classic Birkenstock comfort in a "shoe" vs. a clog. No worries about the closed heel, the leather is so pliable. Birken-COOL!

I love these shoes! They aren't the greatest as far as style goes but if you are on your feet all day and go through cheap shoes pretty fast to save your back and legs these are the shoes to replace them with. I am a baker and on my feet from 8-14 hours a day and these are the best to keep me feeling tip-top.

I love these shoes so much. I think they are adorable and very comfortable. I bought mine about a month ago and have worn them almost every day. My only critique is that they are a little difficult to get on. This is easily solved with a shoehorn though. They are lifetime shoes. Also, I'm mad that these are now on sale! Wish I had waited a bit!

In my work I stand all day and at the end of the day my feet are throbbing. Since I started wearing my Londons by Birkenstock I can stand all day and there is no more throbbing. I am so relieved to have finally found shoes that allow me to work without taking pain relievers just to make it through the day. Thanks, Birkenstock! And thanks to Zappos for carrying them.

I now have purchased three pair of Birkenstock sandals/shoes from Zappos. Great products, swift arrival, easy to return if necessary. For these products return was not necessary.

I am a lifelong Birkenstock wearer... it's the only shoe that does it for me on an everyday basis and even if I'm walking a lot. They're also wide enough for my feet, which aren't particularly wide but get scrunched in shoes like Converse. I wanted one for the fall/winter and decided to get these. With wool socks they are warm enough in ~30 degree weather (I live in Boston). I've even worn them in light rain and they were okay. They look beautiful and the oiled leather shines up nicely with wear. I would recommend taking some time to break them in, alternating with another pair of shoes, especially if you've never worn them before. True to size, I'm a woman's US 8.5 and wear a 39.

I bought these for my husband and he loves them. He has a pair of Birkenstock sandals, so these are his "winter" (we live in California not much of a winter here) shoes. When he first tried them on he was afraid they were a little tight but I told him to wear them and they would mold to his foot, which after two or three wearings, they did. I just wish they weren't so damn ugly.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I wear them every day. They're also really unique. I've never seen anyone else wearing them, and I get tons of compliments when I wear them. I normally wear a 6.5 or a 7 regular width but I got these in a womens 6-6.5 narrow.

These are great! I have a pair of 10 year old Bostons that I love, but wanted a pair I could wear to work. These fit that need perfectly, and they are so comfy,

Love these shoes, now have shoes I can comfortably wear with or without socks. They are not sexy but are definitely one step up from trainers which I used to live in. Buy whatever footbed size of Birkenstocks you normally wear.

I love Birkenstocks. I have two pair of sandals. I normally wear a 5½ but these are huge on me. I wish that I could get these in a smaller size.
