LOVE my Boston’s...and Florida’s!!
I have worn Birkenstock Florida sandals for years and have approximately 15 pairs...I purchased a pair of the Boston clogs about a month ago and I have now found my second love!! Very comfortable! They actually make my feet feel better after being on my feet all day. The service here is also the best!!

Love these!
I have flat feet and plantar fasciitis, and needed good supportive shoes for weekends/casual use. I love these clogs! The arches are pretty high, and since I'm flat footed, it took awhile to break in - maybe 2 weeks? They fit perfectly now. They run *very* wide, so I would estimate that a narrow in this clog is more like a medium width in other shoes.
I still wear supportive tennis shoes for long periods of time on my feet, but this is my everyday casual shoe.

Good for standing -
I have been a teacher for 30 years and all those years of standing have taken a toll on my arches and ankles. These are the only shoes that get me through my day.

Love my Birkies!
Having spent way too much money on other shoes (Finn comfort, Quarks, Danskos, to name a few) for working 12 shifts on my feet as a nurse, I am happy to say that I have come full circle back to the shoes I started out wearing 8 yrs ago. I NEVER had foot issues when I work my Birkenstocks. My feet are once again happy and I can walk with ease. From now on I will stick with what works best!

Great clogs!!!
I really love the Boston. I bought them in black leather. I have worn Birkenstocks but never this style. I have seen these for years and was always taken with them. I will wear these with a simple pair of black Levis and a really gorgeous and luxurious cashmere sweater in the winter and a soft, soft John Smedley cotton top in the spring and summer, with a simple exotic skin belt.

The best shoes -
I love wearing my Birkenstocks. They are so awesome. I feel like a rich person. My feet love them and I am considering getting another pair just to wear when I am not working. They are as comfortable as they look and worth the money.

Birkenstock Boston High Arch -
A nice looking and very comfortable, stable clog. I love the arch support in this shoe! I generally wear a size M11 (44) but find size M10 (43) Birkenstocks fit me better. I would prefer more strap holes for a snugger fit but after "customizing" mine with a leather punch am now very happy with the fit. This was my first Zappos purchase and I am very pleased with their performance. Happy shoe shopping! :)

Love Those Birkenstock Boston -
I'm a Nurse who works 12 hour shifts. Regular nursing shoes made my feet and legs hurt terribly after only 3 hours of walking on concrete floors. My first pair of Birkenstock's was sandals I purchased 3 years ago. The day they arrived at my mother's house I tried them on to break them in. Unfortunately, my feet started to swell and I could get the shoes I had worn to her house back on. So, I had to wear my New Birkenstocks home. They "broke-in" in 2 wearings. I've been wearing them ever since. My new Boston
Birkenstocks took only 2 wearings also. I'll keep on buying them and wearing them no matter what they cost.

I've had these Boston clogs for about 5 years which are my cold weather shoes (warm weather shoes are Arizona). It takes about 2 weeks to break them. They are still good to go without resole, but I'm thinking of buying them in different colors.

The Best Shoes To Work In!!!
I am a nurse and I work in a busy intensive care unit. I bought a pair of these shoes 6 years ago and tonight I am wearing the same pair! I love them. I work between 12 and 16 hour shifts and my feet always feel awesome!

Awesome!
The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned! I was having knee problems due to lack of arch support and decided to purchase this shoe. The support and comfort is amazing! They aren't the most attractive shoe but the function is most important now that I am in my mid forties. I would recommend them to anyone!

Saved my feet-
I am over 60 and I plan to make Birkenstock Boston’s the mainstay of my shoe wardrobe. I ordered the Boston on the recommendation of a friend and my feet are thrilled. I walked ALL DAY yesterday doing some dreaded shopping and my feet did not hurt then nor this morning like they usually do.

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.

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.

Sloppy fit. Color much tanner than in on-line photo. Suede looks tired. Wonderful arch. If you have chunky wide feet this could work.

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!

After two TKR surgeries the only shoes I could wear comfortably were my old Birks. I added this pair and it was a mistake. Maybe it is the high arches but I suspect these have a larger negative heel and as a result they cause such pain in the larger upper thigh muscles that I cannot wear them.

I have several pairs of Birkenstocks but the arch support never seemed high enough for my high-arched feet. When I saw the higher arch, I had to try! The higher arch is wonderful however, maybe because of this, the shoes fit more snugly than my other Birkenstocks. I think the toe box is way too low. I am thinking that I may have to return these and order them in a larger size. These hurt the top of my feet! You cannot wear socks with them at all! What a shame and disappointment! I wish Birkenstock would take this into consideration when making the higher arch - they should still give you the same foot room inside the shoes!

Not for us, but still a good shoe -
These were for my 13yr old daughter. I was looking for support for her narrow and long foot, so I went for the high arch. The arch really bugged her and so we went with a similar shoe that had a regular arch.
