I love these shoes! Very comfortable and the color is to die for. I’ll be wearing these daily. I did size down 2 sizes.

I have been eyeing these for awhile now and I finally purchased them! I did consider purchasing the suede soft-foot bed in taupe, but I am glad I got these instead. Since they are oiled leather, they will last a lot longer and hold their shape better than the suede. Please keep in mind, they are A LOT lighter in person and it made me love them more. I could've gotten away with the narrow width since they are a little wider than I expected, but I can always place a hole in the strap to make them tighter when I don't wear socks with them. It does take awhile to break them in, but I expected that since this is not my first pair of Birkenstocks. Overall, if you have been eyeing them for a while, please don't hesitate to buy them! You will not regret it!

As always, Birkenstock delivers. I got these to wear as slippers indoors because of my plantar fasciitis, and they keep the pain at bay! I slip them on even if I get up in the middle of the night. They felt a little narrow when I first got them but have adjusted to my feet and are perfect after a few weeks. My only annoyance is the prong on the buckle sticks out sometimes when I’m sitting on the floor, and has scratched the wood or gotten caught on the carpet a few times.

Excellent shoes. I didn’t think they would be so comfortable right out of the box. Perfect shoes to kick on for errands, around the home and casual purposes. Cute with or without socks. I love the Taupe color oiled leather. I’m a home health nurse and they look cute with my scrubs. My favorite fall shoes on dry days.

Worth the price. These shoes will outlast me lol. Wear with socks or not. Great clog. I wear them with jeans or khakis. They arrived quickly and the shoes were in pristine condition.

I've worn Birkenstocks for years, and although I would like to have more design options with the softer footbed, these fit just as I expected and I know I will be wearing them for years to come.

As a runner, I specifically bought these to have good, firm support in an everyday shoe. They feel amazing on my feet & have had no trouble ‘breaking them in,’ though I’m sure they’ll get more comfortable as I continue to wear them.

I resisted Birkenstocks for years but regret it now! They have saved my poor feet and I wanted these so I could still wear them in winter. I thought it would take a few weeks to break them in and be comfortable but they worked immediately. So glad and Zappos, as always, had great customer service when I had to swap out my original size for a larger pair.

Big investment but so worth it! I am only wearing these with socks. Maybe overtime I will change my mind but for now they feel super comfortable with socks. I tightened the strap and they feel perfect. I really love these, they are so cute! I had a pair in the late 80’s, early 90’s. Some things never go out of style! Worth every penny!

Be careful, these run very large and wide. The black oiled leather, although beautiful, is a bit faded and therefore looks almost like a dark blue. Also I felt that the oiled leather while perhaps more sturdy, was not as comfortable as the suede in the same style. I returned these and purchased the black suede in the narrow fit and they fit perfectly.

Birkenstock is always a quality shoe. I wish these were the soft footbed though.

They’ve been around forever for a reason - they’re comfy, they protect your toes, and they have a style all their own that you can wear in summer or in winter. You either love ‘em or you don’t but I think they’re the BEST. My feet are usually somewhere between a 10.5 and 11 - I got the 43s in these and they fit perfect.

Like most shoes they do take time to break in before they are super comfortable. But they are a very nice looking shoe and they go with everything! We purchased two more pairs for our teens. I think they run a little small because the toe of the shoe is narrow. But they will stretch out so you don’t need to size up a lot at all.

Initially, they felt small. Within 2-days the clogs opened up and fit true to size. The arch support is terrific. (Have high arches) Very comfortable for short walks on flat(ish) terrain.
