Customer Reviews Birkenstock London

These shoes are great! I have high arches and also chronic foot pain from years of ballet and long distance running. Birkenstock shoes are the only shoes I can currently wear without pain. These felt a little bigger than the sandals I have that are the same size, and I almost sent them back for a smaller size. However, after wearing them for a few days they feel great. They are just a little roomier than most shoes. Also, they look better in person than in the pictures.

Love these shoes! I own about six pair of Birkenstocks, and these are my new favorite.

I love these shoes! They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had! They fit perfectly and look great. I was looking for a shoe that alleviate knee and back pain, this shoe fits the bill. I've worn their sandals in the summer but this is the first clog I've tried, and they are just as awesome as the sandals. They're pricey, but worth it.

Ordered my normal Birkenstock size and they are perfect! I have worn Bostons in the past. I was worried about the heel rubbing my achilles tendon, but it doesn't. The back of the shoe doesn't sit right up against my foot, so there is no rubbing. I teach and am on my feet all day, so these are perfect. My foot is wide at the base of my toes, and the wider toe box is a perfect fit. The front "tongue" does rub against the top of my foot a little, but socks solve that problem easily. Also, the leather will soften up over time. It's already soft, but it will break in even more. Definitely cuter on than I expected. I think they look better than the Bostons.

Fantastic, don't want to take them off. I had some Birkenstock sandals years ago and decided fashion-be-damned, I'd get some comfortable shoes for work because I'm on my feet a lot. Turns out they look pretty cool, even with a suit, and I'm getting lots of comments. Highly recommend them and Zappos had the best prices and service. Awesome.

I wore a pair of Boston clogs for about six years, until I walked the soles right off. I liked those, but always thought it'd be nice to have something with a proper heel enclosure. The London has a similar look, classed up a bit by replacing the suede with leather. I couldn't find any local stores that carried the London, so I took a chance and just ordered them here. I have not been disappointed! This is a great shoe. They're nice enough to wear to work, and I receive lots of compliments on them. They absolutely do not look like Crocs (at least not in the Habana Oiled color). And as any Birk fan will attest, they are really comfortable. I did follow the suggestion of reviewers here and went down a size from what I normally wear. My old Boston's, which were size 45 (to match up with my US size 12 feet) always felt a bit loose. So for these, I dropped down to a size 44, and they fit perfectly.

Got a size 41 sandal over the summer, but got a size 40 based on reviews. Returned the 40s for a 41, and love them. I think people get confused on the size because these fit differently than regular shoes. Only thing with this pair is and they are tight to get on in the back; you have to get your fingers in and really work at it. This gets a little easier the more you wear them. I have flat feet, and these are the only brand of shoes that don't make them hurt!

I enjoy these shoes very much. I work in a restaurant and have been looking for some shoes that won't make my feet hurt after long hours. Although, please be warned, the arch support in these shoes are just amazing, and so much so, that you might not want to wear them long while you are breaking them in. But after you break them in, they're awesome and my feet never hurt at work anymore! Yeah, they cost a little more than I had wanted to spend, but you can replace the cork as well as the bottom part! So I can wear these things for years! They are also very roomy, which took some getting used to.

I need good arch support and these provide just that. I am on my feet probably 7 out of 8 hours at work and for me these provide all the stability and comfort I need.

These were comfortable right out of the box. For a person with wide feet and high insteps, you can't do much better. You might want to watch out if you have narrow feet though. I was so excited to find out Birk had a shoe with a back to it. This is OSHA required in many workplaces. My job also requires me to stand most of the day, and these will not let you down. Your feet will not ache from these shoes. They look better in person too, for the style conscious. I have no doubt these will stand the test of time. I have a well worn in pair that I bought 15 years ago, and they are still in great shape.

I wear a woman's 8.5, so I first ordered these in size 39, but they were just way too floppy. I returned them for a size 38, and they fit perfect! I love them! Very comfy, and they look nice, too!

As one would expect from a Birkenstock shoe, these are very comfortable. However, the sizing seemed way off. I ordered one size down from the Birkenstock clogs I own, and they were still much too big. Also, if you're concerned about style at all, the shoes looked much better on the site. When I opened the box, they looked like a pair of black leather Crocs, which was not what I was going for at all! They are super shiny and I wouldn't recommend them for anyone looking for something stylish as well as comfortable.

The London's fit great, are very comfortable and exactly what I hoped for.

These run large. I usually wear a 41 but with these, a size 40 fit perfectly. Order a little smaller than your usual size. These shoes can seem a little on the pricier side, but they saved me hundreds of dollars that I otherwise would have had to spend on custom orthotics. I have flat feet, and work all day long standing up. I was almost disabled by my foot pain. These shoes saved me! They hurt like hell for the first week while you're breaking them in, but after that they're the most comfortable thing you'll ever put on your foot. Don't be put off by the firm sole, they feel so good.

Ordered these for my husband who has foot problems. Normally he would never go near Birkenstock shoes, and in fact had never so much as tried a pair on, but after wearing them for one day declared them the most comfortable shoes he had ever worn. He didn't want to take them off at the end of the day. The shoes look nice in person than online. The leather is good quality and the stitching very neat. The shoes do run large, and wide, as others have said, but because of the buckle they are pretty easy to adjust.

These shoes feel about a whole size too big. Even after putting on 2 pair of socks they were still too big. I suggest you order a smaller size than normal. But the shoes look great; great quality.

I have plantar fasciitis and Birkenstocks are the only shoes my feet can tolerate these days. They are great for a job that keeps me on my feet most of the day and when I’m at home I switch into my Birkenstock sandals. FYI, the "narrow" is misleading as that is what fits my average width feet best.

I looked at these shoes a long time before ordering. I have been wearing soft footbed Birkenstocks for a long time and was concerned about the footbed being too hard, but since returning them would not be a problem I decided to get them. They are great! It only took a few days to adjust to the footbed (with socks). Now my feet are warm when the north wind blows. Thanks Zappos for such wonderful service.

These shoes are great. I am used to the soft footbed so they took about 2 weeks of wearing them 8 hours a day to break in. After the break in period they have been really comfy. Most importantly, the fully enclosed shoe with the smooth leather keeps the rain out so that I can wear Birkenstocks in the winter or on rainy days.

This style took longer to break in than my other Birkenstocks (Boston and Arizona), but it has been worth the effort. I\'m not sure if it\'s a difference in the footbed or if I walk differently in a closed clog. In any case, they are working out very nicely with my work clothes.\r\n\r\n

These shoes came in 2 days. Were wonderful, I put them on, and have been wearing them ever since. Super service; I cannot say enough good things about the whole deal: shoes, Birkenstocks, and Zappos.
