I bought these due to many reviews saying how they are good for plantar fasciitis. Now I can attest to this. I did not want to buy these. They are just not my style or thing. I ultimately did however to replace my house shoes that hurt my feet terribly due to my plantar fasciitis. I really wish they made them in more styles that I could wear everywhere. Don’t hesitate these really are great for your feet.

Classic Birkenstock. Love the matte quality of the oiled leather. Comfortable suede footbed. Thick great-quality leather that will stretch and break in great. Excellent quality shoe. Made in Germany.

Well.... I have 6 pair of Birkenstock and this pair was a gift for my daughter which makes her 3rd pair so I'd say we're sold! I have a very high arch and these keep my feet from hurting and my daughter has flat feet and these force the arch she needs. These are awesome for Winter and since the cork is covered for the most part with the leather they do fine in the rain. I love all my Birkenstock, these are great!

I have a pair of Arizona's in the oiled leather, and was glad to see they offer this option for the Boston, as I needed a pair of winter Birks. Great, neutral color and like all Birkenstocks, it is exceedingly comfortable.

Initially bought a size 38, typically wear 7.5 and a 7 in a couple other brands. The 38’s were way too big, I was swimming in the toe box, ended up exchanging for a 37 and they fit perfectly. The leather and footbed have a longer break in period, but that can be expected. The leather does scratch easily, which doesn’t bother me. The primary use for the birki’s will be for work, a closed toe option that will also keep the feet happy.

Depending on the brand, I'm anywhere from a women's 10.5 to 11, so I ordered a 42 in these. The 42 fits perfectly, and I feel like I'll have enough room to wear socks, too. These are my first Birkenstocks, so I'm still getting used to the feeling, but I can definitely tell that they are supportive and will customize to my foot over time. Overall, I'm happy with them and appreciate the minimalist style and comfort.

These are great. I’m a physician, and I spend a lot of time on my feet. Birkenstocks always work well. These are my eighth pair to date. Worth noting: I wear an 11.5 in most shoes; but that’s not the case with Birkenstocks. I have to buy a 42 (US men’s 9/9.5) for the right fit. Big difference in sizing... but no big deal once I figured it out.

Amazing comfortable and by far my favorite pair of Birkenstock shoes. I can live in these shoes and the color is perfectly neutral. These fit me like a glove.

Love these! My only issue is the color. They're not really black, they're more bluish black. I would have preferred a gray tone to the blue.

If you are a Birks fan these fit exactly as you expect. Perfect width and arch support and your toes stay warm when it’s cold out. Keep in mind that if you are planning on wearing thick, fuzzy socks with these they will feel pretty snug at first. You may need to be patient as the leather stretches a bit.

My first pair of Birkenstocks I work for 6 years and recently decided to replace them with this pair. Quality, quality, quality. These shoes aren't cheap and there is a reason why. I would pay MORE for the comfort and foundation and support they consistently provide. Just be sure to follow everyone's advice -- wear them an hour or so on the first day, and a little more on days after that. This shoe reminds your foot of what it is supposed to be doing. I have a wide foot that tends to pronate. I have recently started having heel pain. Birkenstocks realign your feet to their original glory. I really believe the only thing that's probably better is a prescribed orthopedic shoe -- but who wants that? Buy Birkenstock.

This was the first pair of Birkenstocks that were not "soft." I like them better then the "soft." I feel there is more support in these Birkenstocks then "soft" Birkenstocks I have. Love them!!!!

Shoes fit just like all my other birks. (Which is great) The color was just what was on the computer and is a beautiful neutral that goes with everything. The oiled leather is perfect for the spring, fall and even winter if the snow is not too deep. Love, love, love these shoes.
