Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston High Arch

Very comfortable! If you have found Birks to be too hard and the break in too long....This is very comfortable with very little break in time. I am used to the soft footbed (which is amazing with no break in). This high arch footbed is super comfortable and I highly recommend. Wish the style was more feminine or if could at least get it in leather rather than suede.

Excellent arch support, well constructed shoe; however, the leather is a little stiff and rubs the skin, so I will have to wear socks until it softens up.

Birkenstock High Arch - I bought the Birkenstock Boston High Arch for my 19 year old daughter. A college level basketball player, she injured her Achilles Tendon and is not able to wear a conventional shoe/sneaker at this time. She has flat feet and orthotics so not being able to wear a shoe meant no orthotic. Your clog has been a godsend with respect to the arch support it has provided her. When I told her that I had ordered her a pair of Birks, her comment was she wasn't wearing "old lady" shoes. Much to her surprise, she loved them and was pretty amazed at the level of support the additional arch provided her. The only drawback was the price. I realize that you get what you pay for, but the price was a tough swallow for a pair of supplemental clogs. Hopefully, they will become more than supplemental for her after the Achilles has healed!

Birkenstocks high arch shoes - Very pleased with these shoes! I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis all summer, and, after several visits to the podiatrist for care I am finally better. She recommended Birks and these high arch shoes are excellent! I don't take them off! Who cares what they look like when your feet don't hurt?

What a trip! To find a shoe described as having a high arch was certainly a revelation to me. Maybe I've been living under a rock -- that's entirely possible in Yoder, Wyoming (translated -- edge of the planet). I have always loved Birkenstocks because they're the only shoe or sandal I can wear without my custom orthotics. I will definitely be checking out more of your merchandise offerings in the future. Thank You!

I love Birkis - I ordered this shoe in a 37 because that's what the manufacturer suggested for my 6-6 & 1/2 sized foot... I checked this site and many others to make sure it was correct, but, alas, when I received it, it was HUGE! I ended up going to a Birkenstock store in the area and had my foot measured and it turned out I needed a 36 narrow. I love them though! I would go a size smaller if you buy them!

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!

Birkenstock High Arch - I have very high arches and wear orthodics for running/hiking. There are a very different feel then most comfort shoes I've tried. I really liked them and very much like the high arch feel, but didn't end up keeping them because I seem to fall in between sizes. I would normally go with the larger size, but in this case, the larger seemed to throw me a bit in to a pronation (tilting in) which I don't think is intended, I also typically like a little heel lift, (and inch or so even), and this is a different shoe science all together - it supports your feet from below versus laterally and your heel is intentionally fully nested on the ground with no lift. There have a very firm, hard feel which I think would become very comfortable and wish they'd fit better. They seem very wide at first, but when you read about the Birkenstock philosophy, and wear them around the house, they seem the right width. Would definitely recommend it, esp the High Arch if you need it, but expect a different sort of 'shoe'.

Great shoes! I had my new Birks on about 60 seconds after the UPS guy dropped them off and I will tell everyone they fit perfectly and felt great. My feet have been craving firm support and the comfort and relief were immediate! I have never worn backless Birks before and put them with thick socks for the best fit. Ladies be educated that a Birk "narrow" is like a generous "B" width. I think the Birk look is funky and fun! Super excellent arch support.

Birk High Arch - Took a short while to get used to the high arch. I have flat feet so the high arch helps to align my knee joint properly for less joint stress. Very comfortable.

High Arch is painful! The arch was a little too high for my foot. I have a high arch anyway, but also suffer from Plantar Fasciitis. It made it a lot more painful.

Great Shoe if you have arch problems - I have to wear high arch shoes because of medical reasons. These are great. They work better than the Dr. ordered arch support that I can never find shoes to put them in.

Just so darn comfortable! Yes, they're pretty ugly, but for anyone who has issues with their backs because you don't have enough heel and arch support, these are the ones! I have very high arches and even the regular Birks don't have enough support, but these are amazing. First shoe ever where my arch is fully supported without putting insoles in!

Love my Birks - I have worn Birks since I was in JR High a long long time ago. They are the best shoe-sandal out there for sore tired feet. They do take getting used to. They work your toes and shins. Once that has passed your feet will love you forever.

I wear Birkenstocks exclusively; from clogs, sandals and shoes. Pricey, but worth it. I have fallen arches and this is the only brand that relieves my foot pain.

Love my new Birks - My old Birkenstocks always felt too wide; (especially after I lost 50+ lbs) I didn't even know Birks came in a narrow width! I ordered the size I have worn for 15 or so years, except in narrow, and I love them!! I got my first Birks when I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis, and they have done wonders. I am an X-Ray Tech, and spend lots of time on my feet.

Great shoe! I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and Birkenstocks are the only thing that releive my heel pain. These are a nice winter addition to my growing collection. Thank you Zapppos for excellent customer service yet again and for carrying my hard to find size 35!

BIRKENSTOCKS ALWAYS IN FASHION - MY DAUGHTER LOVED THESE MULES. SHE SAID THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AND STYLISH ENOUGH FOR COLLEGE.

Very Nice Shoe - Bought these for my daughter. She loves the fit and feel for the show. They wear very well. We went with a darker color to reduce potential for showing wear.

Birkenstock - The shoe is great! I bought them for my wife and she loves them. I also got them extremely fast for this time of year.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. They are lightweight and comfortable and look great with dress pants or jeans. I tend to wear thicker socks with these shoes, although you can wear thin socks. There is a lot of arch support which may take some getting used to. They're great for wearing around the house or for walking around town. I love these shoes and plan on always having a pair!

True fit - I ordered the narrow even though I thought how could this fit if I took a medium but it is true to size. Great service too.
