Great shoe- Awesome service-
I am a first time customer and will definitely shop here again. My shoes were shipped within hours of my order and arrived exactly when promised. I am very impressed with Zappos.com.
I'm also a first time Birkenstock wearer and love them right out of the box. I have worn other cork sole shoes and these are far superior.

Timeless classic -
These clogs are comfortable and give my feet the support that they need. I was wearing shoes with no arch support and my knees had begun to really hurt.I have owned Birk's before and after a short break in period they are without a doubt the most comfortable shoes/sandals/clogs on the market.

Boston Comfort -
Like my other Birkenstock's, extreme comfort right out of the box. These are good-looking with slacks and jeans, both dressy and casual.

Great shoes, especially if you have foot problems. I can wear these all day and my feet don't hurt. Again Zappos service is amazing.

BEST SHOES EVER -
Although I've written a review before I must write again, just to get the word out that these are the best shoes ever. I was getting tired of tennis shoes and normal sandals. They were making my feet hurt after long days of standing and walking. Now that I have my Birkenstocks ( I have 4 pairs...) My feet never hurt and I am comfortable all day long. Expect some comments like sarcastic "Nice Shoes" or "Those shoes suck!" I just laugh the comments right off because I know the people that told me that don't have as comfortable shoes as I do. Sure, I don't like getting comments on them because I love them so much, but of course I put up with it for the pure comfort I get out of these. I have worn them all the time through all seasons (I change from crappy shoes and once I get inside I slip these on)and I have never once needed them resoled. I own three other Birks: the London, Arizona, and Haiti. I love all my Birks and they never fail me. I'll wear 'em 'till the day I DIE! BIRKS RULE! PEACE OUT!

I work in a hospital, on my feet all day long and couldn't live without these clogs. My pair is over 8 years old and holding up very well. Expensive initially but considering how much use I've gotten out of them the price was well worth it.

They take quite a while to break in, but after they are these Birks are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.

Amazing Birkenstock -
I have liked Birkenstocks since the early 80's. My fiance introduced them to me and I have had a pair ever since. The first Birki that I got lasted 20 years. I expect this one to do the same.

Pleased -
I give them all 5 stars. This is my third pair of Birkenstock's and they're the best shoes I've ever had. A little pricey yes, but since my last pair of clogs lasted nearly 5 years, I think it's worth it. Plus Zappos did a great job for shipping my order very quickly. So far I've been very pleased with my shopping off of Zappos, keep it up!

Broken Toe -
This shoe was perfect for me, because I broke my toe. I was on my way to a conference and unsure as to what I could wear on my feet. It was perfect with my low boot and didn't look too bad with my business outfits. After taking my boot off, I continued to wear the shoe and it was comfortable. My feet didn't hurt, but most of all my toe didn't hurt.
Most importantly, my shoe was sent to me in one business day, even when I made a mistake in checking out. The customer service people where excellent!
My foot is narrow and it is difficult to find shoes-Zappos is an answer to my prayers!

Excellent! These shoes feel good and look good- one of very few brands that fit my wide feet! If you don't have wide feet, be sure to order narrow.

I love these shoes. My first pair lasted 7 years of almost constant wear. I wore them everyday to work. As I was told they uncomfortable for the first two week because my foot wasn't used to being supported after that I never took them off. This pair I didn't have to have the break in period for my feet. I just slipped them on and pure bliss.

Boston Birks -
My last Boston’s have lasted 9 years, the one before 6. I am a chef who uses them out of work as well and am looking to buy my 3rd pair. Thanks for the best shoe out there. I also have a broken foot yet get the support I need.

Mmmm...birks -
The brown Birkenstock Boston's are the first pair of Birk's I ever bought--while pricey, they are totally worth it! They are so comfortable, and once you know what size you wear, you can buy the exact same size in all Birkenstock styles and types. You can wear them with anything - they are great!

Comfort and style -
The recently purchased pair of Birkenstock's is as comfortable as my old well worn ones. The style is great for winter since I do not wear my sandals with socks at that time. Fit is the same we have grown to expect from Birkenstocks. Great addition to my shoe wardrobe!

Why do I need other shoes?
I love these Birky's. I'm one of those few people who has chronically cold feet. Although I like my Birkenstock sandals, I wear my Boston's (I have several pairs) year round. They are so comfortable that I'll choose them over tennis shoes.

These are great shoes and I totally recommend them to anyone who likes clog type shoes.

I LOVE MY BOSTONS!
I bought a pair of Bostons about 6 months ago, and have probably worn them 4 days out of every week since then. They are a little bit funny looking- but so are all Birkenstocks. If you love your feet, you will buy them some Birkenstocks. If I never had to dress up, I would wear Birkenstocks and Teva sandals all the time (which isn't to say Birks aren't dressy.. because they can be).. My only suggestion is to find out which size Birkenstock you wear, and buy them online on ebay or something. All the footbeds are the same- so they are shoes you can really buy without trying on.
I'd also recommend:
any Birkenstocks.

Comfortable and casual -
These are comfortable shoes to slide on for a quick trip to the store or out to the mailbox. They take a little getting used to as they aren't the most attractive shoes ever, but for simplistic style and comfort they are hard to beat.

Very comfortable, true to size and very traditional/hip. A clog for all seasons. The closest thing to an orthotic!

Great overall shoe.
I bought a pair of these shoes abotu a year ago and they barely leave my feet. they are great in the wintertime and look great with both jeans and kahkis. I suggest wearing them with socks. I am positive anyone who buys them will love them
