Customer Reviews Birkenstock London

It's not the best of the Birkenstock designs. Difficult to slip on and off without unbuckling. And I agree with some others, seem a bit wide. Not all that attractive, toe is more geometric than it appears in my view. If you like the Birkenstock sole then OK. But otherwise, I'd look at other models.

I could not find Birkenstock shoes anywhere --- only sandals and sometimes an open shoe just is not appropriate. Thank you Zappos! Although not the sexiest shoe I've ever worn, definitely one of the most comfortable. The same amazing support and function of the more often seen sandals, but with the coverage one needs in colder weather or to meet dress code requirements. Want them in brown and would love more colors from which to choose.

Great shoes! I have some pain in my feet so I wanted to try some Birkenstocks which I haven't owned since I was a teen. I remembered them being comfortable and they are. Even with the full leather upper they are also lightweight. They even come in narrow sizes which I recently discovered is a better fit. I'm very happy with the purchase. Birkenstocks do break in quickly so buy them fairly snug.

I work as a nurse. I ordered these in hopes of more support than my Crocs were offering. Boy, did I get it! It took almost a full week to break them in, but I was aware of this about Birkenstocks, so I was patient. The only problem I've had with these is that they do stretch. I wear a 10, so I think they are 41's. Next time I get them (I've had them for 2 years and they're still going strong!) I'll order a size smaller. Great shoes! Oh, they're also not so cute, but the comfort is worth it!

Another great pair of Birkenstocks! The leather is simple and is breaking in nicely. They are destined to be very comfortable!

I love my Birkenstock clogs, but I wanted a winter shoe -- and London fits the bill. I bought the solid leather version and it's a very nice, warm brown color that is looking even nicer with wear. I don't know about the sizes listed: I wear 9s in most shoes, measured at a Birkenstock store as a 38, and bought a 39 (it was close, but looser felt better to me). I wear these all day at my job in a school library, and they (and I) still feel fantastic by the end of the day! I find that their somewhat plain looks go very well with either casual or slightly dressy clothes, and I even wear them with skirts. Great shoe!

First off, I'm a fan of Birkenstock shoes. But the thickness of the leather on this particular shoe is thinner than I would have expected with no interior lining. The sole with no attached heel is thinner than the my other Birkenstock shoes. It is more like an enclosed sandal.

Just got these shoes in the mail and I already love them! I have plantar fascia so I need the high arches. The original Birkenstock footbed is perfect for easing the pain. True to most Birk sizing, these are fairly big. I usually wear a size 10 in woman's, but with these I ordered a 40 (which they say corresponds to a 9-9.5). Plus, I have a wider foot and the Regular is plenty roomy. I like that these look like the classic Birk clog they will be more functional as it gets colder. These appear to be sleeker than ones I've gotten in the past, which traditionally do look a bit clunky. Zappos was amazing as always. I ordered these around 9:30 pm EST and they arrived the next day. Crazy good!

These shoes are comfortable all day while I am on my feet. They also accommodate my wide feet with bunions.

The foot bed felt like the right size, but the upper is too big. I have lots of Birkies and this is the first one I have ever had a fitting problem with.

These are not pretty shoes. Even the narrow is wide. But my feet never ever hurt after wearing them no matter how much walking I do. I wear them to work with dress pants wide legged enough to cover them up for the most part. They aren't my style, but for the comfort I'm willing to compromise. I bought a second pair so I'd have back up.

I have tried to break in these shoes.They are very stiff. A well made shoe.but hard to get used to. Getting the correct size is another problem. I wish I had the strong feeling about the shoe and its comfort as others have reviewed.

Very comfy to walk. Good shoes. Wish Zappos is selling more colours besides black and brown.

I own about eight pairs of Birkenstocks and I bought these because I wanted a pair with a closed back for clinic. I love them. I have tried a lot of comfort shoes and my favorites are Birks, Keens, and Earth shoes. The usual excellent arch support and wide toe box. The only thing would be that the back rubbed a little for the first two days, so just make sure you have longer socks, and the whole shoe was a bit loose after a couple of days, like it had stretched out. I normally wear a 39 regular for open toed Birks or 40 narrow for closed toed, and these were a 40 regular because I was unsure about the tightness at the back.

I was not sure that Birkenstocks would be comfortable to me. They are different from other comfortable shoes I have had. They have been great. I thought at first arch support maybe too high but I have not found it so. Oh, by the way, they are not likely to be found on a fashion runway. However, that was not where I was going to wear them.

I have a narrow foot and Birk's version of narrow is EEE, so get the narrowest one offered. I could almost put both feet inside this giant.

Best. Shoes. Ever. I wore these during a 3-month backpacking trip across Europe. My feet blister easily and that never happened with these shoes. They held up to hot, sunny days as well as cold, rainy/snowy ones. Feet never get tired whether you're running to catch a train or hiking up a mountain. They're also super easy to get off at security if you fly a lot. The leather upper ages really well also. I love the way they look now more than brand new.

These shoes are fantastic. They have really helped my plantar fasciitis. You may think they look ugly now, but if you have foot pain, they start to look very cool, very quickly. I think their weird look really rocks. Oh, I got the narrow fit; you should decide if you have a narrow foot or not for the perfect fit.

Ugliest shoes ever, and I'm looking for another pair. I have had two pairs of London's, both I have re-soled at least once. I have some Footprints now, and they are great, but I think I am missing the over all greatness of these shoes.

I've had these for about 3 weeks and couldn't be more pleased. They are well worth the money. I have 2 other pairs of Birks 15 years old that have been resoled twice each. These shoes last and last with minimal upkeep. Excellent arch support. I'm a 10.5 and found the 42 to fit well so half sizes may want to order up.

I love how you feel supported and yet not restricted in these wonderfully well made beautiful shoes. I wear them with or without socks and I have yet to get a blister from any of my Birkenstocks. They are made for feet. This color looks great with jeans too.

First, Zappos is the best shopping internet site with unsurpassed service and guarantee. With free shipping, I received my shoes in 2 days. I have worn Birkenstock sandals for years because of comfort and durability. Now, I am wearing the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I highly recommend the London Birkenstock. I need to wear a 10 Narrow London shoe and I must wear thick walking socks because the narrow is a little wide. The thick sock only enhances the comfort of this great shoe. The leather is the best I have ever seen in a shoe and the shoe is completely repairable. Finally, I will remain loyal to Zappos because their service is of the highest level. Thank you Zappos.

I have always worn Birkenstocks. I bought this pair for my 11 year- old son (Birkenstock sizing is unisex) because he has been getting recurrent ingrown toenails. He loves them! He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever worn and he has not had an ingrown toenail since he started wearing them. The habana oiled leather was more expensive, but I wanted him to have a pair that he really likes, and it is a beautiful finish, even after being waterproofed!

Beautiful shoe. I wear a size 37 and this felt like a 36. Order one size larger than what you normally wear.
