These Birks are comfortable, especially after the break in period necessary with Birks. They do a good job with my high instep

I have been a Birkie fan since Birkenstock came out. I noticed when I order shoes that do not have European sizes, the shoes aren't always fitting. Birkie shoes every time I order are a perfect fit! And Zappos services are excellent including packing and shipping in a timely manner.
I'd also recommend:
anything of European sizes =)

I lived in shoes like these years ago, but for some reason stopped wearing them. I'm definitely back. They're the only things that don't consistently hurt my feet. Of course they're not glamorous, but neither is wincing in pain at the end of a long day. I did notice that I prefer the normal width rather than the narrow now. Maybe my feet got wider with age.

Birkenstocks are great shoes - I got these to wear around the house in the winter. Provide excellent support and comfort while doing chores, etc.
The footbed is stiff, but that is what Birks are like - soon enough they will mold right to your foot. Love these clogs!

I wore the Birkenstock sandals all summer and needed a new shoe to wear for the winter at work. These were perfect and the most comfortable shoes, and you can wear socks with them and it looks cute!

I have just began my foray into Birkenstock, 6 months after I bought arizonas, I bought these. These are all season for me even in snow. Just nice warm socks.
Great support. I even get compliments!

Birkenstocks are the only shoes that don't hurt my feet, it only got 3 stars for comfort only to count the time it takes to break them in. These clogs look great and are wide enough for my wide feet. Once they get broken in a bit more they will be comfortable. So glad I made this purchase.

Very comfortable. I have PF and Birkenstocks have the only footbed that doesn't hurt my feet. I love the look of the black oiled leather. It's a matte look which can appear grey. I like the versatility of color which goes well with black or grey clothing. Breaking in well and quickly. I am a wide size 10.5 in most shoes. I ordered a 41 regular and the fit is perfect, with room to wear with thicker socks.

Love these shoes! I can always count on Birkenstocks to run true to size and fit the same from style to style. Love the dependability. Always great arch support. No flaws in cork or leather at all. Will definitely be ordering more. Love Birks, love Zappos!

Love these, very comfy, just like my birk sandals but for Fall/Winter!! Leather is a little stiff, but already starting to soften up after wearing them just one day. I like that you can adjust the width with the buckle.

If you are used to wearing Birks, this shoe fits like all others. I wear sandals more than the shoes, and the shoes feel less "stable" on your feet at first, but you get used to them. This is a great shoe. I love the oiled leather. I bought them as my dog walking shoes - to slip on easily and pop out - but I wear them all the time!

Just received my Bostons, LOVE! They feel amazing. My daughter got my first pair of Birkenstocks this summer for my birthday and I decided I needed another pair. Zappos made this a comfortable buying experience as they will except returns but I will not be sending these back. Will for sure be looking at more.

Love these shoes! I've recently started wearing Birks again and needed something closed toe for the office. These are SO comfortable! I love them and wear them daily.

Love these shoes. They took about a week to get used to them but they eventually form to your foot and are amazing.

I love these and my Arizona Birkenstock's. I had surgery for Morton's Neuroma and it FAILED. My Birks are the only shoes I can wear and not be in a GREAT deal of pain. The service from Zappos is wonderful!

I purchased these shoes to wear to work as I have problems with plantar fasciitis. These shoes are very comfortable all day and don't cause pain like other shoes do. I have a 9 1/2 size foot, normal width. The 39 regular width fits perfectly. The description says oiled leather. The leather is not glossy and they are really more of a dark charcoal than black. They required no breaking in. I wear them every day and would recommend these to anyone who has foot issues.

These are SO comfy even without the typical Birkenstock break-in period, so I know they will blow my mind in about a month or two. Great shoes and I've wanted a pair for a long time.

Had to return these because the color was too dark for what I need them for. I love Birks though have about 20 pair multiple styles. These are my go to shoes / sandals esp after my back surgery. They kept me grounded and made me feel secure & sure footed "in balance" so to speak.

I have 2 pair of Arizona Birkenstock sandals. I have very wide feet, Fred Flintstone feet but I find these should too wide. Maybe it's the style. I have never tried the narrow size but I am considering it, in this shoe style.

These are sturdy shoes with great support. I were my Birkenstocks all the time so with the snow and rain I needed some toe covering.

I bought these for work (I stand all day) because I needed arch support. They have kept me from having foot pain. I have had the soft footbed before and am glad that I went with the original. They are much better.

Wanted a Birkenstock for winter. Ordered the London but was disappointed that it didn't have a toe bar so I ordered the Boston which works although I would have preferred a closed shoe.
