I freakin' love these shoes! They are my first pair of Birkenstocks and I am in love, great arch support, great with wool socks and jeans, very comfortable, and I love the scuff marks that are showing up on them with use, they make them look great and really well loved (which they are, I use them almost every day). I highly recommend them.

I bought these to replace the Crocs I've been wearing. They're well made and comfortable. I really debated what size to order! Everyone seems to say to order a size down, but I didn't find this to be true. I typically wear a men's 10. I originally ordered a size 42; they kind of fit, but were a bit small. Size 43 is better. I'd recommend ordering the suggested size. They'll be a bit roomy, but that's how I expect them to fit. They aren't tennis shoes.

These are great. It's basically the only shoe I wear. They are comfortable and supportive.

These shoes are great and look awesome with or without socks. I'm looking forward to wearing them with jeans and stylish socks this fall. Love them.

I love my Birkenstocks. I've had them for over a decade, so it was time for a new pair. The narrow seems to suit me better in this stye. Love the color. Could not be happier.

Perfect! Exactly what I expected from Birkenstock. Get the size range that covers a half size higher than your usual size, especially if you plan to wear socks from time to time. Super fast shipping, as always. Looking forward to ordering a third pair soon!

Love these shoes...comfortable & last a really long time. Not the cutest shoes, but I'm a huge fan anyway! Perfect for my "Flintstone feet."

Second pair I've owned. First pair is lost, not destroyed! These are very comfortable and extremely durable. I wore them as a full-time restaurant worker. No feet should be without.

When I had initially ordered these shoes they were a little short in the footbed. I was able to exchange them quickly and easily. Needless to say, I was very pleased.

This is my fourth pair of Birkenstock Bostons! Not because they don't wear welln but because I like the way they feel and wear them almost daily. Quite honestly I have never found any shoe more comfortable than a Birkenstock and would wear nothing but if they were a little more stylish. I find they look fine with jeans that have bottoms that are a little wider or flared so it covers part of the shoe. I do not wear them with shorts, capris or skirts though because I don't like the look. I will continue to buy and wear them because they are a quality and comfortable shoe, especially if you are on your feet or walk a lot.

This is my second pair of Boston clogs. My first pair lasted over 8 years. These shoes are so comfortable and supportive. I use these as my house shoes because I don't like being barefoot. I've tried other shoes but none are as comfortable and last as long as my Birkenstocks. My feet aren't considered wide but some shoes hit my foot in certain spots causing discomfort. I have never had this problem with these shoes. They're tried and true. I'm pretty sure I'll own at least one pair for the rest of my life.

Great shoes! I am a nurse on my feet long hours lots of walking. I am flat footed so my knees and hips used to always hurt. Not anymore!

My husband thought my Birkenstocks looked so comfy I ordered a pair for him. He has wide feet and has difficult finding shoes that fit. Surprised that he loves them and actually wears them. I have plantar fascia and these are the only shoe I can wear.

These are great shoes. I have plantar Fasciitis. Have tried too many different pairs of shoes to remember. Birkenstock with cork footbed - fantastic! Zappos is a great company to deal with.

These are not comfortable right out of the box! It takes a long time to get used to them. Even after wearing them for a few weeks they are still not totally comfortable. I have committed, so hopefully they will become more so as time goes by. I do have kind of flat feet and I hear it takes longer to adjust if that is the case. I feel like I shuffle when I walk in them.

This shoe is true to color and I think the shoe runs a half size bigger than normal. So I landed with a 10 instead of my normal 10.5. Also I like how this color has that faded leather look to it. I tried the regular fit as well as the wide fit and I don't think there is much difference between the two. The sole is shaped like a footprint and in time will contour to your feet more than it already does. I think this is a great shoe for anybody that wants to wear them with jeans, shorts or for anybody that just wants a shoe to slip on.

I am in love with Birkenstocks. I am on my second pair of sandals. This is my first pair of clogs and I still love them all the same. I love the support that they provide in the sole of the shoe. I could walk for days in them it seems without my feet hurting. By far my favorite aspect of the brand. The oiled leather looks beautiful, too!

I'm very pleased with my purchase, the shoe fits great. I have wide feet, and this shoe has ample room for me to wiggle my toes. The shoe looks nice and is good quality. I did not have to size up or size down for this shoe. Customer services is great at Zappos, as always.

Very nice leather, but I'm in between sizes. Ladies 35 too large and youth 34 too small.

ZAPPOS IS GREAT! I purchased these shoes for my daughter and ordered the wrong size. The return process was simple and fast. I received the replacement shoes before I mailed the wrong ones back!

I bought these to wear indoors as slippers on the advice of my chiropractor to help with lower back pain. They are more comfortable than going barefoot. Birks run big in a good way: big in toe box and plenty wide. I only can wear Birks in the clog style like this or a sandal for that reason, and the Euro sizing can take some trial and error. BUT These are great and the taupe/soft tobacco color works with everything!

Bought these to replace a worn out pair - pushing 7-8 years old. These are the greatest shoes. I have flat feet and they offer the best combination of support and comfort - I wear them all day long in and out of the house. Zappos VIP service is the best - I didn't like the first color so I went online and ordered these and I had them in less than 48 hours. They processed the return as soon as they received the other pair - prepaid shipping. Thank you. Very satisfied customer.

I purchased these clogs in Emerald Oiled Leather from Zappos' sister company 6pm. I was very pleased with how quick they arrived, and when I opened the box, I loved the color, which is a very dark Emerald Green. There is plenty of space in the toe box, and to wear with thinner socks. I normally wear Arizonas so I was concerned about these being closed toe- I thought they would fit differently, but they fit fine. The Oiled Leather finish looks rugged, not too shiny, and they look like they would last longer than the suede ones, I hardly recommend these!
