Customer Reviews Birkenstock Amsterdam

Love the look of this shoe -- so much I ordered it in two different colors in smallest size available, a 36. The black felt upper had a cork insole and was a full size too long and narrow, although usually wear a size 6 (but in many Birkenstocks need a 35 which wasn't available). The redwood suede had a soft insole that made it so much more comfortable that I kept that pair (a little more expensive with that insole and upper) and will wear socks to deal with the extra space. Really needing a 35, I rely on the helpful reviews from others to help decide if a style might work and what size to order. Thanks to the readers who participate! Love Zappos quick delivery, easy returns, and loyal customers' reviews.

Great looking shoe, but runs large and wide. I wear a 5.5 or 6 in most shoes, but the 36 is way too large and wide. Not available in narrow or 35, so back it goes. Thank goodness for Zappos free shipping and great service. Size was true for Birkenstocks, but not compared to other brands.

I bought this as a house shoe/slipper and it fits the bill. I wear a 9 in most shoes and the 40 fit fine. I wanted to wear socks with them, so I got the regular width and they work if my socks are thick enough. I cannot wear them without socks as they are too loose for my non-fleshy feet. They are super comfortable and started forming to my feet in the typical Birkenstock fashion within the first couple of days. When these wear out I will get them again, but in a narrow next time to see how that width works for me.

Great shoe! I ordered several styles of Birkenstock clogs, and these were by far the most comfortable. Conforms to your foot, as all Birkenstocks do, after a month or so of wear. So comfortable, I don't realize that I have them on.

Like many of the reviewers, I work from home and wanted something comfy I could slip on and off that had some support. These fit the bill and are a step up from slippers. They stand up to out-of-the-house wear. They're pretty plain in that Birkenstock way, but they have a good classic design. Really good support. Really comfortable w/o feeling like I'm in my slippers all day long!

I love Birkenstocks. This is my first time trying a "cold weather shoe". I have this lovely new plantar fascitis and needed some better shoes and I've been happily wearing Earth Shoes but I love the way Birks look. I guess I'm a strange one who thinks they are fabulous- very "boho chic". Anyway, I love these! I have never tried the soft footbed and I really like it!! I was worried that they would be floppy but they are not. I wasn't sure if I should get the model w/ the buckle on top to tighten. I may try those next though! Anyway, I wear an 8 in women's. I guess I'm a smaller 8. Sometimes a 7.5 will fit me but usually an 8. I would buy a wide shoe if available so the width of the regular birks works great for me. I think if you do have a rather narrow foot I'd get the narrow so they are more secure. My issue is that if they were a half size bigger, they might work better with really thick winter socks but a 39 is way too big. All my Birk sandals are 38s and these are fine in 38. My heel is very close to the edge but its perfectly comfortable. I can wear socks, just not super thick ones. I trust that the heel will mold even better to my foot as I break them in. My feet are pain free in these!

Simple basic wool clog...I love Haflinger grizzly's. So I bought these to try Birkenstocks version of the wool clog. I have Haflinger and also Stegmann wool shoes but these have I believe a better insole. I just got them 3 days ago and I haven't taken them off yet! I will definitely buy these shoes again. Gotta love Birkenstocks!

I purchased the Birkenstock Amsterdam to wear as a slipper at home, and it is perfect for that. The 41 narrow is ideal for my size 10 narrow feet, and the support is excellent for my high arches. Recommended!

These are like wearing house slippers. My fifth toe got broken and did not heal. These are one of three pairs of shoes that don't hurt my toe.

Love them - true to size, true to width for Birks (a medium is wide), easy to slip on with or without socks to run an errand or walk the dog. They required very little breaking in.

These are the perfect solution to my favorite pair of shoes! My first Birkenstocks were Myrin sandals, the best pair of shoes I've ever owned. Podiatrist told me that they will be what saves my feet from beginning onset of plantar fasciitis. Last fall I bought a pair of Birki's as a Crocs substitute, they were nice but you have to wear socks with them or your feet get to hot and sweaty. So this year I got these in hopes of not having to don socks...and they are absolutely perfect! Warm but breathable, I wear them everywhere including in the house like slippers!

This is the best Birki I have ever had. Because of the upper material being felt, it is much lighter than the leather clogs or even sandals. You almost do not feel them at all.

Love. I bought these to wear around the house since I was suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis (I work from home and used to spend hours barefoot each day). They were amazingly comfortable right from the start, and (I believe) one of the main reasons why my feet improved after months and months of pain.

Crocs have ruined clogs. Unfortunately, although I love Birks and the fit and comfort was excellent, I just couldn't get over how much they look like crocs and/or house slippers. I guess I'll stick with my sandals.

Nice Birkenstock quality. Sole is a little different than the usual sole - the design seems a little shallower. Bought these with the intention of wearing them as slippers, but the narrow is too narrow and the wool seems a bit tight. Made in Germany.

Great Birkenstock comfort. Not as bulky in appearance as typical Birkenstock. Very lightweight. The only problem is that after a couple of weeks of use, the heels are already showing signs of wear. Doesn't seem to be the standard, hard-wearing Birkenstock sole that I'm accustomed to. So, I've been wearing them around the house only. Pretty expensive house shoe, but I'm keeping them anyway.

One of the better looking Birkenstock styles. I liked that it had a wool top instead of leather. Unfortunately, even though the length was fine, it twisted when I walked and fell off my (narrowish) feet, even though I would have thought my high arches would have taken up the slack. Disappointed. I think they were trying to make this a unisex shoe, but should have just let the guys order wide. Might work with socks, but I wanted to wear without. Also, the lining was puzzling, didn't feel like real suede to me.

The footbed gives very good support to counteract my plantar fasciitis, and the toe bar fits into exactly the right place for me. The shoe is not too hot despite the appearance of its upper. Note: I wear a B width but needed the narrow width here, and though I wear a size 6.5 shoe, I needed the Birkenstock size corresponding to 5-5.5.

I had to get a size larger (there are no half sizes), but fits well, a little wider than my normal, but there was not the choice, but since I am using it as an indoor slipper, it is fine. The soft bed/ leather top version of this stayed true to size and the width was better. Perhaps the felt changed things? No matter, it is great. I have really ouchy plantar fasciitis heels and feet. Wearing these inside really help, since barefoot is too sensitive/ouchy for me at this point. Birkenstock makes a great shoe, I recommend them.

I absolutely love this shoe. People are surprised to learn that it's a Birkenstock. I like it for wearing in the winter with a thick pair of socks. It's a winter sandal. My only problem with it has been that my foot slipped out of it while stepping down from my house into my garage and I had a big fall. For someone who is concerned about falling a slip on shoe with a wedge in the back to keep your foot in would be a better choice.

Best investment I ever made. I'm standing a lot in my work and needed a comfortable shoe. Easy to slip off and on. Just great comfort.

Comfortable and easy to slide into. Size was just great! So nice that I took them on a weekend trip with us...

Despite previous comments that this ran narrow, for my narrow feet it was way too wide.

I so badly wanted to love these shoes. I have plantar fasciitis in both of my feet and read reviews about how good Birkenstock shoes were for helping with this condition. Sadly, these shoes were so narrow I could hardly fit my foot into them. Granted I do have a wider foot, but the information listed for the shoe said that the "narrow" fit would accomodate both narrow and regular width feet. I think this is an exaggeration. If you have a normal or slightly wider width foot, these are definitely not the shoes for you.
