I have been having foot problems recently, and decided to try the Birkenstock shoes. I love this style...and that they can be worn to work and still look nice. They are very comfortable. Even though I ordered the narrow, I still had to have my husband punch a tighter hole in the strap.

I am a teacher and my feet suffer daily. These shoes are nothing short of amazing! All the support of regular Birkenstocks, but with just the right amount of cushioning. These are also slightly less clunky looking than some other Birkenstocks because the suede lends a softer feel.

Birkenstock shoes are always great and perfect for my feet. The service from Zappos was the best that I have ever received online and I order frequently from a variety of vendors.

I purchased these shoes because I have a lot of arch and heel problems. These shoes are great, very comfortable and I am able to finally walk long distances without pain. These are the first birkenstocks I've owned and will not be the last.

Seriously I would pay a lot for this pair of shoes. I have sacroiliac joint dysfunction (basically a twisted pelvis due to pregnancy and consequently sciatic numbness) and I cannot wear heels or flats and I need serious arch support. I have an 11.5 wide foot, so most conventional shoes do not fit me nor do they offer the arch support they claim. This shoe is pretty wide even, by my standards, but it fits me perfectly. The arch support is amazing. The shoe is amazing. Sure it's not the most attractive and I feel like I have hobbit feet, but if you are looking for the ultimate German engineering in comfort, look no further. Nothing compares. I just hope the soles won't mold, but they are comfortable. I cannot stress that enough. Actually, I would pay any amount for these shoes. And Zappos' customer service is unparalleled.

These shoes are great! I have finally come to the conclusion that I'm better off with Big shoes because I'm tall with relatively small feet and not skinny legs--so the overall effect is much more balanced.

Excellent, zippy fast service from Zappos. Thanks! Would also highly recommend these shoes. The soft footbed is extremely comfortable right away, and this style of Birk clog seems easier to buckle more snugly than the Boston. Very happy!

Had Birk's before, always loved them. Have to say, though, the "soft footbed" is amazing!

These Bern Soft Footbed are exceptionally comfortable. The height of the strap across the top area of the foot works really well to keep the shoe in place. Better than the Boston that I usually wear in term of staying on my foot. The arch does not seem as high on these soft footbed shoes as they are on the regular footbed; not sure why. But they are comfy and I have a lot of foot problems including pronation and callouses. I'm very happy with these clogs and will order them instead of the Boston in the future.

"Meet the new member of our family," I said to my husband about these shoes. Perfect fit. Neutral color makes them very virtual in nearly every casual situation. Love.

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. It is also very attractive on your foot. I am planning on another black pair as well.

I finally took the plunge into wearing supportive shoes, and what can I say, I love them! I got them for wearing around the house to help with my plantar fasciitis, and my feet feel very supported. I think my plantar fasciitis is starting to improve. The soft footbeds are easier to break in than the regular soled sandals, so they were comfortable very quickly. As a bonus, Zappos also had amazing service and upgraded my shipping for free. I ordered on Tuesday night and got them on Thursday! Awesome!

These are so awesome! Soft and comfy. Well made. I'm a size 7 and in Birki's and Birkenstock a 37 (6-6.5) is a perfect fit.

The simple change in the cut of these makes these cute on the feet compared to the more staid Boston or whatever it is I've been wearing. Megacomfortable. Perfect color with jeans. I usually wear a 9-9.5 wide, and these fit perfectly.

What's not to love about this shoe? Barn red and comfy. I can wear it all winter here in Texas. Is it stylish? Well, that depends on your point of view. I like it because it looks like a shoe my old Raggedy Ann doll might have worn.

I love these shoes! I am a teacher and am on my feet all day. My feet and legs are achy at the end-of-the-day with these shoes. I absolutely need arch support and these shoes fit the bill. The soft footbed is nice also. The shoes are a little loose, but still fine.

These are wonderful shoes. I am recovering from a smashed foot from a car wreck and can't wear most of my shoes. These are a savior. Comfortable and cute, too. I can loosen the strap on the injured foot and still keep the other one fitting well. Just wish the soft bed was softer. It's still a bit on the hard side in my opinion. The first ones ordered were too big. So note that they run a bit large.

Great shoes. Soft foot bed is excellent if you are on your feet a lot. I wear an 8 in regular shoes, but I drop to the 7.5 (38) in the clog styles for a really good fit.
