Customer Reviews Birkenstock London

I love these shoes!! I have worn Birkenstocks for many years. My most recent pairs have been Boston’s but I decided I wanted the effect of a full shoe. The London’s are great!

So comfortable! These are such comfortable shoes, a little stiff to begin with before the leather breaks in, but a truly comfortable supportive footbed right away. Would definitely recommend this shoe. And Zappos were so fast at shipping them out! Very good service and product.

Amazing shoes! When I wore them for the first time, the heel was a little uncomfortable. This lasted only for a day or two, and now I literally never take these off my feet, they are extraordinarily comfortable-- and great for inclement weather.

Great -as most Birks - If you've worn the Birkenstock Boston and liked it, then you'll likely love this shoe. Gives the comfort of the Boston with the feel of a real "shoe."

Love this London shoe - I am on my feet eight hours a day in the hospital kitchen. I have gotten Birkenstock shoes with ties, but finally I got the London, it is just like putting on my clogs and working in them all day. You pay more for Birkenstocks, but in the long run they are worth it.

Most excellent pair of shoes! I have been wearing Birks for several years and decided to get a fully enclosed shoe. This shoe felt great from the start. Love that Zappos has a narrow width, as my other Birks seem to be a bit sloppy on the foot, but now that I got the narrow width these fit to a tee. I listened to the other reviews about the shoe being a half size larger than marked and followed that with ordering. Was a good choice. Thanks Zappos!

God's Gift To Feet!! I normally take a 10 in ladies and I purchased a 40 and the fit is fine. I spend all day walking on concrete floors and my feet are always happy when I get home! When they say cork is anti-fatigue they are 110% right!

Really wanted these to work as I love my Bostons and wanted something with a back this time but they slipped in the heel on me.

I ordered the 8-8.5 given my feet are podiatrist measured to be 8.5. My friend described me as looking like a platypus. I think I’d love these shoes if they were a smidge smaller. Unfortunately I scuffed them during the trial wear, so not going to return them.

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and so far they feel pretty comfortable. I particularly like the wider toe box, it's very roomy.

Little stiff at first, but the more I wear them the more comfortable they get.

Ugly as sin, but oh so comfortable. Very supportive. Unfortunately, I had to return because they were too big in the heel and slipped up and down.

I have several pairs of Birks (Arizona, Madrid, Boston) and wear the same size in those. The Londons fit ok in my normal size (36N) but my second and third toe do touch the end of the shoe a bit when I walk. Next size up is too big. I probably should have got a regular width in these but I'm hoping once I break them in, they will fit perfectly.

It was too roomy in the toe area and I have wide feet. The shoe itself was a little big overall.

I’ve had to return them twice now because the size I received both times were to big. However the look, style and feel of the shoe is great. Very well made. I’m determined to get the right size the third and final time I buy them (yes I own other burks sandals but they always felt just a tad small so I ordered up this time but shouldn’t have).

I like it

I really wanted these to work for me!! For over 10 years I have worn Birkenstock sandals in the summer and Dansko clogs in the winter. I live in a city and I do a lot of walking and it is starting to catch up with me - plantar fasciitis and bunions. My feet are much happier in Birks in the summer - Danskos are starting to be too stiff for me. So, I have set out to find a new winter shoe, and I am hoping it will be a Birkenstock! I tried two sizes of the Birkenstock London and unfortunately they are just a tad narrow for my problem foot. I wear a 37 in Birkenstock sandals, so I tried both 38 and 37. 38 was too definitely too big for me. I also found this style of shoe a bit difficult to slip on and off and I don't think I have the patience for that. I do wonder if all this would be alleviated after the breaking-in period, but I don't want to risk it. I am leaning toward Birkenstock Boston Super Grip, they don't feel like they are going to aggravate my bunions and are super easy to slip on and off.

Disappointed that Birk is making these in Portugal instead of ze Germany now. Quality still very high though. I’ve had the soft footbed version - way more comfortable to me. Unfortunately those only come in black and light brown. I like dark brown but not the standard footbed. If you are looking for excellent arch support and a shoe that puts your feet in ecstasy after a long day, or something that really helps with plantar fasciitis, any Birkenstock is your shoe!

really nice and comfy, but a little small form me

You either love 'em or your hate 'em, style-wise. I have some Birk sandals that I like (but not as much as I love my Chacos), but these were just wrong for my feet! The arch was in the wrong place for me, so that was that!

They were to "manish" for me for the price.

These were comfortable, as one would expect from this brand, the only thing was how annoying it is to loosen up the buckle in order to fit your feet into the shoe. The color is fantastic and good quality leather.

I love Birkenstocks in general and have been a happy customer for 20 years. I've have these same shoes in shiny leather and love them. I thought I'd get a new pair but liked the idea of the oiled leather. I tried to put them on when they arrived and I could barely get my feet into them. The ball of my foot was super tight inside the shoes. I couldn't take one step. I was surprised. I carefully compared them to the shoes I currently have and these new ones in oiled leather are just smaller inside. I don't know how or why, but I had to return them for that reason. Other than that, I've loved every other Birkenstock shoe, including the London.

Loved the shoe but the tongue was so high it cut into my ankle. The leather is a really nice color and I would have been happy with the style if there wasn't the problem with the tongue.

The shoe is very nice quality. The challenge is they use the same shoe for men and women...not stated in the write-up but clearly marked on the box. And you can tell...it was so wide it looked like I had platypus snouts on my feet. Again - great shoe - but if your feet are narrow - you may have a challenge with this shoe.
