Broken Toe -
This shoe was perfect for me, because I broke my toe. I was on my way to a conference and unsure as to what I could wear on my feet. It was perfect with my low boot and didn't look too bad with my business outfits. After taking my boot off, I continued to wear the shoe and it was comfortable. My feet didn't hurt, but most of all my toe didn't hurt.
Most importantly, my shoe was sent to me in one business day, even when I made a mistake in checking out. The customer service people where excellent!
My foot is narrow and it is difficult to find shoes-Zappos is an answer to my prayers!

Excellent! These shoes feel good and look good- one of very few brands that fit my wide feet! If you don't have wide feet, be sure to order narrow.

I love these shoes. My first pair lasted 7 years of almost constant wear. I wore them everyday to work. As I was told they uncomfortable for the first two week because my foot wasn't used to being supported after that I never took them off. This pair I didn't have to have the break in period for my feet. I just slipped them on and pure bliss.

Boston Birks -
My last Boston’s have lasted 9 years, the one before 6. I am a chef who uses them out of work as well and am looking to buy my 3rd pair. Thanks for the best shoe out there. I also have a broken foot yet get the support I need.

Mmmm...birks -
The brown Birkenstock Boston's are the first pair of Birk's I ever bought--while pricey, they are totally worth it! They are so comfortable, and once you know what size you wear, you can buy the exact same size in all Birkenstock styles and types. You can wear them with anything - they are great!

Comfort and style -
The recently purchased pair of Birkenstock's is as comfortable as my old well worn ones. The style is great for winter since I do not wear my sandals with socks at that time. Fit is the same we have grown to expect from Birkenstocks. Great addition to my shoe wardrobe!

Why do I need other shoes?
I love these Birky's. I'm one of those few people who has chronically cold feet. Although I like my Birkenstock sandals, I wear my Boston's (I have several pairs) year round. They are so comfortable that I'll choose them over tennis shoes.

These are great shoes and I totally recommend them to anyone who likes clog type shoes.

I LOVE MY BOSTONS!
I bought a pair of Bostons about 6 months ago, and have probably worn them 4 days out of every week since then. They are a little bit funny looking- but so are all Birkenstocks. If you love your feet, you will buy them some Birkenstocks. If I never had to dress up, I would wear Birkenstocks and Teva sandals all the time (which isn't to say Birks aren't dressy.. because they can be).. My only suggestion is to find out which size Birkenstock you wear, and buy them online on ebay or something. All the footbeds are the same- so they are shoes you can really buy without trying on.

any Birkenstocks.

I love my Birkenstocks, they just what I was looking for. I’m on my feet all day and these provide the arch support I need. Zappos was great, they upgraded my shipping for free and I received my shoes within 36 hours of ordering!

I usually wear a different style of Birkenstock (Rosemead), but I decided to try these out for a change. They are just as about as comfortable as my favorite style, but I think these fit much better for me when worn with medium weight socks because I have narrow to medium width feet.\r\n-Super fast shipping--I ordered these in the wee hours of the morning and they arrived the next afternoon!

They look really stylish, yet I have had a little rubbing on the inner side of my foot. The size is right on point, however they need a little breaking in before they get comfortable. Overall I recommend them though

It took 1-2 weeks to "break" in the shoes. The top strap rubbed until I loosened it. I\'m on my feet all day, and am very pleased with the narrow fit.

Not what I expected -
I've always heard that Birkenstocks were so comfortable, but I didn't think these were that comfortable.

Wide enough for women's wide foot.
I was doubtful that these shoes would be wide enough for my feet when I ordered them. But they are and they don't put pressure on the bunion area of my foot. (I had bunion surgery 3 years ago and refuse to wear any shoes that hurt my feet!) They are very comfortable to wear and have a good arch support so I don't need my orthotics with them. I was looking for a closed toe shoe that I could wear with skirts and pants to be a little more dressy than my open-toe Birks. I wish that the toe wasn't so boxy looking, but a do like the larger toe area so that my feet aren't pinched. I like my choice!

Birkenstock’s Boston -
Even ordering a narrow width I found them to be extremely wide. Other then that I love the style.

I love the look and comfort of this shoe. I was disappointed that the rivet holding the buckle piece in place on one of the shoes broke after only three months of use. The shoe was replaced immediately by Zappos, however, and the new pair has been great so far.

Comfortable and will last forever -
I have a pair of Birkenstock Bostons, but I wanted another pair in a different color. They are extremely comfortable, once you get used to the Birkenstock fit, which exercises your feet. The "narrow" size fit me perfectly. The regular size would have been far too wide. Definitely do not buy them in a larger size than marked. Zappos is a fantastic company--very speedy and great service.

Comfortable and casual -
These are comfortable shoes to slide on for a quick trip to the store or out to the mailbox. They take a little getting used to as they aren't the most attractive shoes ever, but for simplistic style and comfort they are hard to beat.

A great clog -
Very comfortable, true to size and very traditional/hip. A clog for all seasons. The closest thing to an orthotic!

Great overall shoe.
I bought a pair of these shoes abotu a year ago and they barely leave my feet. they are great in the wintertime and look great with both jeans and kahkis. I suggest wearing them with socks. I am positive anyone who buys them will love them

Birkenstock Boston.
Brilliant comfort, OK even when worn with socks. You can walk for miles in these, only don't try to run too quickly or you'll leave one behind sooner or later! Looks good with jeans but expect comments, not recommended for driving a car...
