I've been wearing Birks for years--various sandal styles and the Boston clogs. I've had them in suede and the Amalfi leather as well as the oiled leather. I'd never seen this iron-gray color, though, and I love it; it goes with most of the colors I wear. I ordered my standard size 37. Perfect! I have various problems with my feet, and aside from one other orthotic brand, Birks are the only shoes I can wear comfortably. Like most converts, I've adopted the style as my own. Great customer service from Zappos, too! Very satisfied with my purchase all around.

First time for soft footbed, very comfortable out of the box! These do not need a lot of time to break in. I wear a size 9.5 to 10 D in most men's shoes. I wear a size 42 in bostons. Bostons make for excellent around the house shoes that last for years. I have a pair that's almost 12 years old and still going pretty strong! The iron color is nice looking!

I've been wearing my same size forever. I needed some clogs with the soft foot-bed for the winter. I got the iron color Boston and it works very well with my wardrobe. The soft foot-bed works well on my hard Saltillo tile floors for less backache!

Needed a "winter" pair of Birkenstocks and decided on the Boston. After years of wearing the Gizeh Sandals these take a little getting use to as they are a little clunky... Love them with or without socks and look good with skinny jeans. Easy to slip on and off. Ordered both the suede and the Leather but sent the suede back. The leather is so much nicer and would look good for much longer.

This is my first pair of Birkenstock shoes -- and being a child of the '60s when they were all the rage, that says a lot. I couldn't be happier with these shoes. Great color, easy to get on, no squeaking when you walk and a great indoor/outdoor shoe. Don't wait like I did -- order now and enjoy the comfort and the great Zappos service.

Alegria, Sofft, Merrell, UGG

I adore Birkenstock Boston (and Arizona). I don't have a wide foot, but I always buy the regular width. It is the iconic look, and to me, is just so much cuter than the narrow width. The arch support is excellent; I have to have that or my knees ache, and in my opinion, Birkenstock's are the most comfortable shoes around. I have other comfort brands: Dansko, Ecco, Chacos to name a few, but Birkenstock's are my favorite. I love this iron gray. The leather is soft. I wear Boston's year-round. I'm glad I bought this color.

I’m a hairstylist on my feet allll day, and these are comfy, tho will be ideally worn with socks in winter. If you have narrow-ish feet, order the narrow without hesitation. I do, but was impatient and wanted the grey even if they were only in regular width. If worn barefoot, they are too loose. I almost lose them going up stairs. Other than that, I love them.

Great for people who are on their feet all day (food industry, hospitals) or those that need to slip in and out of shoes quickly (parents). I have wide flat feet and regular footbed Birkenstocks hurt my feet but these soft footbeds are great and over time mold to your feet while maintaining a little cushion. I usually wear size 42 in Birkenstock shoes/boots but 41 fit perfect in these. My second pair and I will be returning to Zappos for my third :)

The shoes are very comfortable, appeared to be authentic Birkenstocks, and received them very fast in time for Christmas. But, why oh why didn't they come in an original Birkenstock box?? Did not like that at all.

This is my second pair of Birkenstock’s. This pair is taking much longer to break in. I’ve worn them a handful of times and they continue to hurt my feet to the point where i have to stop wearing them for a while to let the sore spots heal. Im really hoping they will break in to the point wear i can wear them daily and get the comfort I need.

I have had many pairs of birks over the years. This pair is a bit tight. I’m sure they will stretch out eventually. They are perfectly comfortable without socks, but need them to stretch out.

Good fit. Good quality materials. The reason for the return is that the slip on shoe looks like it won’t provide as much walking support over time. Another style would be preferable.

I loved the shoe, but it is too short. I ordered the size I normally wear in Birkenstocks, but this was way too short.
