I really wanted to like these as I needed them for plantar fasciitis, but wow they are ugly. I'll continue wearing my Birk sandals around the house, even in the winter (with socks on--how fashionable!) I may try the Birkenstock inserts to go in other shoes outside the house.

This ran small for me. I could barely get my foot in. I wear a size 12 usually. It was not comfortable at all for my feet.

So far so good. I'm an art teacher and am on my feet all day. At first when I put them on the shoe seems to rub the front of my ankle I think because the leather is still new and not broken in, but it didn't rub enough to make a blister and didn't bother me throughout the day. My feet feel just fine by the end of a work day and I'm sure will be even even once I've broken in the leather. I'm very happy with this style as I've only worn sandal type birks over the past 28 years and been happy with them.

I just ordered my second pair of these after retiring my original pair with 8+ years of nursing wear on them. All I had to do was have them resoled every year or 2 when they would wear down before the cork finally started ripping and the seams started to come apart. I feel like I got way more than my money's worth out of that one pair of shoes. They took me through over 8 years of 12 hour shifts on my feet, a lot of that overtime, and I don't remember ever complaining about my feet hurting. Birkenstocks are an up front investment but every pair I've ever had is well worth the money.

The Birkenstock foot bed is like no other for great support and relief for flat feet. I love Birkenstock sandals. I tried the Londons for this Fall but it's not the same feel. The way the top part is is very stiff and uncomfortable and overall not good for me. I think they look nice but I'm not sure they are as well made as the sandals.

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.

I purchased this shoe because I love my Birkenstock summer sandals and find them very comfortable. I usually wear a size 7C so I ordered this in a 38 regular. The shoe felt OK in the width but the length was too long and the heel kept slipping when I walked even with wearing cotton crew socks. Returning the shoes as I need comfort for walking and don't want a. Heel blister.

I have a mildly fallen arch, if I walk around barefoot for a day my arch and shin aches, but after an hour in this shoe all my pains fade away. Highly recommended, but they are so ugly they draw attention.

These are my go to work shoes most of the time. LOVE them! They are so comfortable and my feet rarely hurt after being on them all day. Definitely recommend these!

I love these shoes. I actually have 2 pair of the Black and 2 pair of the Blown. After a year+ of wearing them they get a little wrinkled looking and become my long-walk/get dirty pair. I've worn them with and without socks and think they are extremely comfortable. I have psoriatic arthritis in my foot/feet and these shoes provide total relief. I even prefer them to going barefoot. I also have several pair of Birkenstock sandals but I think that these are even more comfortable because they completely enclose my foot. They run wide, so the narrow is like a normal width. Otherwise the sizing seems accurate. All around an excellent shoe.

I love Birkenstocks!!! They are the best shoe for my feet and they last forever! I saw this shoe and I had to have it.

i loved how this looked, but it was too tight across the ball and top of my foot and then too long in the toes which made me sad.

I love these shoes. The heel rubbed for the first 2-3 days, but after that they are perfect.

So comfortable for work. The back rubs against your ankle a little bit until they are broken in but they are still great.

I was pretty disappointed. Have owned many pairs of birkenstocks. Left shoe fit different than right shoe. Decided not to send back in hopes that it will stretch and fit correctly. Other than that no complaints.

I love these shoes. My feet feel so good when I wear these. I have some issues with shoes being too tight around the toe area and then my feet start hurting, but not with these shoes. There is plenty of room for my toes. Very comfortable shoes!

These are so comfortable! Like all Birkenstocks, you have to wear them in and get them to mold to your feet, but now I basically live in them! Zappos.com was great to work with and the shoes came quickly! I will definitely order from them again!

Oh my gosh I am a brickenstock girl. I am waiting a hip replacement. I work in a job were I need to wear business casual. These are casual but dressy enough for work. What I was looking for was support . To help me find some comfort until I have my hip replacement. And have comfort and style. I so love these shoes. I have many different styles and plan to get more!

I live in the land of snow and slush and was hoping to find a Birkenstock style I could wear during winter. After reading many reviews I did order a size up in the London style. I had to use a shoe horn to get the shoe on but once it was on my foot it was too large. The style was good, just like a Boston, which I love but with a back to protect your socks from getting wet in the snow. I unfortunately returned because for the price they just did not fit well enough.

I have 3 pairs of Birkenstock sandals, all in the same size. Bought this pair in the same size and they were far too small.

I gave these Birkenstocks as a gift to my boyfriend to replace his old pair. He loves them but notes that there is a bit of a break-in period because the soles have good arch support and he has flat feet. It takes a while for the soles to conform to his feet and for him to get used to them. Also, they do not have great traction on snow or ice.
