My boyfriend really likes my Bavarian wool clogs, but since he loves Birkenstocks, this was a great way to get him a slip on in a brand that was sure to fit him. These were his favorite gift this year! He calls them his "winter Birks." I was not sure about the edge of the wool though, the shape looks a little "grandpa" to me. But he loves them and couldn't be happier to wear them to his office every day, with or without socks. I felt comfortable buying them on Zappos because I knew we could easily exchange them for something else, thanks Zappos!

I really like these shoes. I am using them for indoors. They are keeping my feet both toasty and gently supported. I just bought a pair for a gift since I liked them so much. They took no time to break in.

These were EXACTLY what I wanted for walking around the house. Warm and comfortable with all the support of the Birkenstock footbed. They provide much support to my knee and achy hip. I was hoping to try on the regular width since my toes hit very close to the sides, but narrow was all that was available. The next size up were just too long. The grey felt looks very nice and being the narrow, they do not look too clunky. I hope they hold up well.

I love these shoes! They were so comfortable right out of the box. I can wear them all day, too. I'm very happy with them.

I love these shoes. Perfect as a supportive yet warm and very comfortable slipper. I ordered the narrow as I have a slim foot. There was still ample room for wearing a wool sock. They'd make a perfect Xmas gift.

I bought these shoes last fall when I was recovering from foot surgery, hoping they would be more flexible and softer than the leather version. I haven't taken them off since. Good for trouble feet and to avoid having trouble, I think. Heartily endorsed!

The clogs are comfortable and
great to wear. Ordering and delivery are easy and quick.
All shopping experiences should be this easy.

Perfection! It's the first thing I put on when entering my home after a long day at work. I originally purchased them as a slipper after foot surgery but now they are a favorite and much more than a slipper!

These are very well made, the felt is a smooth, tight weave. I bought these for my mother who loves the arch support, and stability that Birkenstock has to offer (feet of any age). But it is especially important to an active senior. This style goes with anything and looks so classic!

My 26 year old daughter asked for these Birks for Christmas; she loves them. And, as always, Zappos provided excellent service: great price, speeding shipping, perfect product.

I've been having foot issues for awhile (bunionette, sore arches). I bought some Birkenstock sandals for summer, and my feet were so happy I knew I needed a winter style as well. First I tried the Boston clog, and although they were comfortable they looked very bulky (duck feet!). I decided to try this Amsterdam style instead and love them! The arch is a little flatter than the Boston style, but the footbed is softer so they seem more comfortable right out of the box. They are also very slim looking and not bulky at all. I'm very happy and know my feet will thank me!

Got these a few days ago and haven't taken them off since. Definitely worth the splurge. My first pair of Birkenstocks, and I'm hooked! Warm and comfortable and true to size. I usually wear a women's size 7.5 or 8, and the 38 in regular width fit perfectly! I had been on the hunt for the perfect fall shoe that would go with just about anything in my wardrobe (something cute and comfortable that I could wear with socks! Why is this so hard to find?), and these are it. Always great service from Zappos, too! Would most definitely recommend these.

I have been dealing with heel pain and had been using Dansko shoes. I had to get another Birkenstock because my current clogs were not cutting it for me. This was a wonderful pair. Understand that they are not the most fashionable pair but for me I go for comfort more than fashion.

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!

Love Birk's. I have wide feet and it's so difficult to find shoes. I love that I can wear these with a long cotton skirt or jeans and I don't feel sloppy.

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.
