I had to return these because the size 41 is a little bit too big but I'm sad because you don't carry a size 40. I purchased these with bean bucks. I don't think I can afford them otherwise. I'm so sad. These are gorgeous! Please carry a size 40 in the future. I'm a woman with a 2E extra wide foot so I wear men's shoes. These are unisex though and will look gorgeous on anyone.

Wearing them more than I expected. Comfy, cute, goes with most. Prefer with sox. If you do, buy accordingly.

This is my first pair of Boston’s and I’m in love! The comfort the support is a 10/10. Today is my first day wearing them and I have no complaints, super durable and I will be ordering another pair!

I’ve been buying the Boston for more than 20 years. When Birkenstock started making the soft footbed it was a game changer. Unlike classic birks, No break in period. Love these shoes. Sizing is the same always.

They are liking putting on an old friend!
The size is perfect. I usually wear a size 10 women’s shoe. These are a size 40.

Very comfortable and look very nice. My only issue is lack of arch support. I am in need of better than "excellent" arch support and these shoes have almost none for me which means a twisted foot frequently. I have looked and looked but really don't see an optimal alternative.

Quality you would expect from Birks, once formed to your foot they are very comfortable and will last forever.

Exactly what I was looking for. True Birkenstock comfort and style. Gray color goes with everything.

You basically can't go wrong with Birkenstocks, but every time I slide these on I am reminded of how comfortable good shoes can be. Perfect fit and the soft footbed is amazing! Not actually "soft" but definitely more give in the sole than traditional Birkenstocks. Love these shoes!

These are the best Birkenstocks I have ever purchased. The soft footbed makes them comfortable from day one, with no break in period needed. I love the oiled leather which give a bit of a distressed look. Really glad I purchased these.

I was seeking a comfortable shoe that I'd enjoy matching with a number of my outfits. These fit for me! I really enjoy their supportive comfort. I ordered these in my usual size of 7, as well as a narrower width (as I'd read that Birkenstocks tend to run wide). The narrower width has shown to work for me. I like the natural materials, that I understand to be used, in these shoes. I chose a brown color to match with much of my wardrobe. I like slip-on shoes; as I slip into them, just outside my front door (preferring to keep outdoor shoes, out). My thanks to the Zappos Team, for bringing these to my door. :-)

I am a true fan of Birkenstock footwear. The color is great! My only issue is the soft footbed. I have been wearing Birks for over 20 years. I have grown to appreciate the classic footbed. Still enjoy the shoes!

I wear an 8.5 and originally got a 39 but had to return and get a 40. They fit great and are just what I wanted with great arch support.

These Birks are heaven! I love love the feel and security in this clog. Socks or no socks work great because of the adjustability. So comfortable. Love them!

Very comfortable shoes. I wear US 7 1/2 and 37s in Birkenstocks are always perfect for me. I did get the narrow width.

These are wonderfully comfortable! I am returning the Dansko clogs I had ordered, because I cannot keep them from slipping off my feet, which at my age is perilous. Although a little clunky in style these look wonderful with jeans, joggers, etc. very happy with them.

These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn and have worn many. They are like walking barefoot. And the oiled tobacco is beautiful color. I wear size 9 in US sandals. Size 39 in all Birks. And have worn same size since 70’s. That’s consistent sizing. Looking for another light colored pair.

Love the style and comfort, but not a fan of the soft footbed, it actually hurts. I prefer the original footbed.
