Did not look like displayed images. It did not have that oiled look to it and was just a solid taupe color instead of having that brown dimension to it. Was quite disappointed but had to wear them because I needed them for work. If not I would have returned. Unfortunately I’m pretty disappointed.

I love the Birkenstock narrow footbed fit. This shoe comes only in the regular but I decided to try it. Doesn't work at all for me.

I usually wear an 8 in women's and got a 39, returning and getting a 38. Super cute though, a little different than the suede ones everyone is getting and I like that about them.

I ordered this normal footbed pair after buying a soft footbed pair from a local shop. I have a wide foot but the soft footbed felt comfy enough, when I tried the normal footbed my foot felt too wide and the leather was rough and and irritating. If you have a larger than avg foot, I'd go with the soft food bed version.

I was disappointed because I needed a narrow. Narrows are hardly ever available. So, I bought a medium and it was HUGE in width and length. Almost seemed like it was sized wrong?????

I ordered my usual size, but because these shoes don't come in a narrow fit, they were too big, unfortunately. I will be returning, but can tell that sizing down will mean a super comfy pair of shoes!

So I loved these at first, but there were some issues, which led me to returning them as defective: 1) The color inside the shoe was coming off on my feet and socks, all the time. At the end of the day, my socks would be yellow/brown from the leather dye, as well as the suede dye in the foot bed, it was terrible. 2) The foot bed on the left shoe had a toe bar that was way more prominent than the right shoe, which was uncomfortable 3) After trying them in my house for a few days, they felt like they stretched all over, which shouldn't happen for at least a year I spoke with Zappos Customer Service and they agreed that I should return them for a full refund. I have read some people having issues with the Birkenstock dyes coming off in the past, but it was supposed to have been corrected, so I guess buy at your own risk because it appears to still be happening :( Outside of these issues, the arch support is amazing, love the heel cup, but yeah I'm not pleased with the quality control as of current.

Liked the fit and size. The color wasn't as in the photo, its was more of a taupe/beige grey....not tobacco which I thought would be more tan. I'm returning them.

These probably would have been comfortable if they weren’t enormous. I let Zappos pick my size and it was just huge. They also felt wide.

while the rest of the footbed felt great, there was not enough room for my big toe... never thought I had a particularly long big toe. Oh well, had to return.

They fit in length, but they were way too wide. I have a wider toe box but a narrow midfoot. Even at the smallest setting of the strap they would not stay on my feet.

I’m so sad I’ve been wanting these shoes for years and I finally FINALLY got them and they turned out to be a size too big for me. I look like BOSO the clown with them. Now I have to return and get a size smaller. I’m so SAD!!!!!!!!!!! I’m crying I really wanted to wear these this week not I have to wait another week. ?

I was really hopeful about the shoes. I am a nurse and walk hours on hard floors. I love berkenstocks but can't have the open toes at work. I found these to feel like I was going to slip out of them. No grip and they didn't seem like the arch was in the correct place.

In my opinion the support was (POOR) and the (COLOR) Wasn't a Deep BLACK. Will I buy again I will have to think about it as the amount didn't surprise me since it was suppose to be a Birkenstock Shoe but said that it was a Very Sad Shoe as I have brought them from stores who Support the Product.

Unfortunately, the bed on these clogs are not the most comfortable. But they are cute. I ended up returning after trying them on though because I wasn't a huge fan of the bed on the clogs and the texture of the top is meant to look more worn but I wasn't a fan of these in person although I normally loveeee Birkenstock.

I wear the Birkenstock Gizeh's and always get a size 36 in those. They fit PERFECTLY and are the best shoe I've ever worn! In sneakers, boots & other shoes I usually wear a 7 simply bc my toes go straight across (unlike a tapered top of foot). I got the 37 of these thinking I'd wear socks with them but even with socks they are too big on me. When I walk the top of my foot doesn't touch the top of the shoe soon enough so it feels like work just keeping the shoe on. The toe box is super wide even for me. I did not find them attractive at all so they are going back!

Unfortunately this style only comes in regular width. I usually take a narrow, but I thought I’d try them out. Regular is way too wide for a women’s size. I’m sending them back and ordering something else that comes in narrow. Too bad, I otherwise Ike the look of the oiled leather with the original footbed. Hunks for the free returns.

I wear Birkenstock’s probably 90% of the time. Same size/width without fail. These however are way too wide in the toe box. Disappointed

I received my second pair of Boston clogs and was so excited when they arrived. When I opened the box it looked like the shoes were haphazardly placed in ther box and as a result had scratch marks on the top surface. I put on the shoes to try them on and noticed that the button on the right foot strap had come off but didn't know it was from my new shoes until like after 10 min of wearing them and the strap came apart while walking, and even when I tried to put it back on I noticed that the piece it attached to was broken. So back it goes.

I love Birkenstocks. They have been the answer to my foot problems. But these had to be returned because they were so sloppy on my feet that I struggled to walk normally in them. Also, inside under the buckle, a piece was rubbing my foot. So disappointing because I always have good experiences with Birkenstock just not these.

I love Birkenstocks and have worn them for years and years. For some reason this style is really, really wide at the toe and thus felt long and sloppy. I ended up returning mine. I wear a women's size 9-9.5 and always get a 40 in Birkey's. But for some reason this style was really huge on me. I have the exact same pair in black suede and they were perfect but I bought them several years ago so I'm not sure it is a fair comparison. These were so wide at the toe that they were just not attractive to me and I was worried that my foot wouldn't be stable and would slide around. And on my foot they were just really unattractive. I have narrow feet so this might have been the problem. Anyway, I will continue to buy from this brand because they make the best shoes ever but this style was just not for me. I did recently buy a felt pair that were perfect and I love those.

I ordered a 39, which is the size they came in. However, the box was totally torn and had 40 labeled on it as the shoe size. Both shoes had perspiration stains on the footbeds. Not acceptable. I liked the color, the size, the comfort but definitely not the condition.
