Beautiful suede and perfect comfort, just like Birkenstocks are famous for! I wanted the soft footbed for winter so my socks won't wear out so fast and I'm looking forward to warm and comfortable feet this season. Love!

The soft footbed is amazing! I use these as house shoes and often accidentally leave the house in them because they’re so comfortable.

I am in love with these !!! SO comfortable and like walking on air. Only problem was that I had to return and order a size down and get narrow width. My feet are on the wide side and that adjustment was perfect. Probably because they are uni-sex. You will not be disappointed!!

I have owned these for nearly a year and still consider myself to be breaking them in fully as I haven't worn them too much out of the house. I love to do chores and cook dinner in them as the arch support ensures I don't get a sore back. They look great. The black suede will rub off and cause some light discoloration for a while but it will go away. Definitely causes blisters on inside arch while breaking in but it's not bad; recommend wearing with light socks around house to get your feet used to them. Would gladly buy more!

I got these shoes because I often like the look of a sandal, but may be in an indoor setting where the A/C is too high and my feet freeze! This shoe offers some warmth and also looks good with low-cut socks. I initially got the black suede, but returned them for the beige color. The buckle/strap detail shows up much better on the beige. These are very cute and versatile, and with the slip-on style, super convenient. You can dress them up or down. Very happy with them.

These are my "fall/winter" Birks! I love that they fit well enough to wear with or without socks, depending on the weather.

I bought these as a gift for my mother in law as she's been struggling with plantar fasciitis and foot pain, and I think feels overwhelmed by shoe stores. They are a perfect fit in her normal shoe size and she's in love with them. She claims they are already helping her foot, but I take that with a grain of salt since they were a gift so what else could she say? ;) She wears them barefoot or with thin socks. I have the Mayari and Arizona soft footbed styles for myself and the Mayari in particular are my favorite shoes. Birkenstocks never disappoint. I'm a bit jealous of these clogs and may buy some for myself when it cools down again!

First time ordering Birkenstock Shoes and with the exception of them coming in a damaged box and stain appearing footbeds, I tried them on to see if I was returning for a refund or for an exchange...and I have to say they were so comfortable right from the start. I have such terrible neuropathy and plantar fasciitis in both feet trying to find a comfortable shoe is very difficult. I am so looking forward to looking at other Birkenstock styles...AND as always, Zappos customer service was MORE than accommodating with UPS pick up for me and delivering my new pair no later than the next day. THANK you as always Zappos!

I have worn nothing but birkenstocks for over 20 years. I have these shoes because I can't tie a shoe on. After being unable to walk for 8 months I was able to get back to walking wearing these shoes and the physical therapist approved their use. At on time I had probably 20 pairs. I was able to resell them for very good prices. They are a good investment in many years

Soft footbed is EVERYTHING. I've worn birkenstocks for years and the soft footbed has changed my life. I have bad plantar fasciitis and I bought an extra pair just for wearing inside the house as slippers. Great.

Amazing birks! The soft footbed is definitely the way to go. Felt like a perfectly comfortable slipper from the first day. I wear an 8-81/2 and the 38 narrow Birks fit perfectly! 39 would definitely be too big. Received them within 24 hours because Zappos is the best!!

So glad I purchased this shoe after months of looking at it. Normally wear an 8 and ordered the 29 and it fits great. No need to break it in either - the soft food bed is fantastic. Was able to walk the dog after taking these out of the box. I have a normal sized foot and ordered the narrow width. Its perfect.

Excited to add this beautiful clog to my Birkenstock collection,(all size 40) but this is a little too short with a sock on, and I feel a 41 would be too long. I love all my Birkenstocks and am so sorry these won't work, (especially with your promo offer.) Thanks anyway, Zappos. Rating 4* comfort only because they were too short for me.

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for a while now. For me, these shoes represent comfort and support. They are the shoes I go to at the end of a long work day. I like the clog-style full covering for the front part of the foot as opposed to an open sandal for cooler temperatures. The soft foot bed is very comfortable as well. I highly recommend this brand. If Birkenstock would make the soft foot bed into a fully covered shoe, it would be an ideal walking shoe for the outside.

This my second pair of Bostons, however my first pair with a soft footbed. Wow what a difference the footbed makes. I might have to order another pair. I will suggest going up vs going down a size if you wear 1/2 sizes. The best shoe ever!

These seem to run small. They did not fit my husband, even though this is the size he normally wears in other brands.
