Bought these 2 days ago, they arrived in 2 days after selecting standard shipping to Canada - amazing service! I have the arizona sandals with the regular footbed and loved them so much I wanted some clogs. But, because I will be standing in these more than walking, I decided I wanted the soft footbed. The soft footbed soles are much more plush and not entirely comparable to the regular sole. They are still supportive - that distinctive birkenstock footbed feel is there with great metatarsal and arch support - but they definitely have a lot more give to them. The leather upper is thick but soft and very comfy. The leather on the soft footbeds feels a little softer and thinner than on the regular footbeds. For those who love their birks but just want something a little more cushy, these are the answer! For those who wanted to love birks but couldn't take the "hard" footbeds, this is exactly what you've been looking for.

I ordered the same size as my arizona sandals - I measure a size 10.5 medium US mens shoe on a brannock device, which according to the Birkenstock chart is a 43. But I find the 43 too large, with my toes a bit far from the end and unable to grip the toe-bar properly. So I fit a 42 regular in birkenstocks. The boston clogs fit very similar to the arizonas in terms of length and width, but the heel cup is very slightly less deep (but still quite supportive), and perhaps slightly narrower than on my arizona sandals. Because they have only one strap, they do fit looser on my low volume feet. I can wear them barefoot on the last notch, or on the second notch with regular socks. But since they are new, they will no doubt stretch, and I might have to cut a new notch for the buckle eventually.

All in all a great piece of footwear. I am a recent and now devoted birkenstock convert after shunning them for years.Finally, my feet are getting the support they need, and in a handsome and comfortable package. And at the reduced prices offered here, it's a no-brainer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Birkenstock, where have you been all my life?

I thought Birkenstock shoes were for hippies, and just plain ugly to boot, and it never occurred to me to try them in my youth. My plantar fascitis plagued old age forced me to reconsider and on a comfort shoe and insole buying binge I picked up a pair of these clogs. I have been wearing them around the house and out and about for four days now and my feet haven't hurt once. I have plantar fascitis so bad it had me limping by the end of the day but not in these shoes. The real test will be a day at work, but I am betting they will perform.

I had no break in period. I don;t know if it was the soft footbed or what but they were immediately comfy. I wear a 9.5 womens and have sorta wide feet. I bought a 40R. They fit great. Without socks I do have to buckle the strap on the tightest setting. I don't know if a narrow would make a difference there, the footbed feels great to me on these so I'm not going to send them back hoping to get a better fit on the upper. They are clogs so a little loose is to be expected.

As for looks, the leather is nice quality, I love the color and it looks like a big ol' funky clunky clog. It's not cutesy shoes but it isn't ugly either. I'm at the point in my life where I am no longer trying to impress anyone so I'm ok with funky and clunky. I'm a convert, I just ordered another pair of Birks.

Exactly as described. Took the size from my existing Birkenstock sandals when ordering. A little big around the arch - already on last hole.
These are like walking on clouds. Super comfy. Suede is a good thickness, buckles are sturdy & soles will provide years of wear.
Super happy with these 😊

If you need more support, go with the regular footbed and do yourself a favor and get yourself properly fitted at a store that sells lots of Birkenstocks, preferably a Birkenstock store that also does repairs. A Birkenstock "narrow" may fit many women's feet that are considered normal by any other shoe maker. A "B" width is generally considered normal for women. A B width is way too narrow for my feet.

This particular pair was a bit more snug than another pair of Birkenstock "regular" (wide) 37 soft footbeds that I own, but that may just be the difference between a wool and suede pair? My feet have been measured recently at a 7 1/2 women's D width, but in my 20's they were measured at a 6 1/2 women's EE, and E width. I wore 38 regulars for years because my feet spread and measured bigger and it recently caused all sorts of problems with my arch on the foot that is a tad smaller, my hips, knees and back. I went back to a 37 regular, with the regular footbed and the problems stopped within days. I like the soft footbed, but I cannot wear it all the time because I need more support.

I'm hoping that resoling this shoe will not be a problem, but I know that having the footbed liner replaced in a soft footbed is not done. Having them resoled is less than half the cost of a new pair, even with shipping costs/travel time. For a woman with feet like mine, it's nice to be able to wear a decent, supportive shoe that is not horribly expensive. With "cork life" care and timely resoling, a leather pair of Birkenstocks will last for years, one pair of Nubuck Arizonas lasted for 13 years with heavy wear.

Se los regalamos a mi mamá de cumpleaños y los usa casi diario, para cualquier ocasión. Más ahorita que está empezando el invierno. La gamuza no se ha ensuciado irreparablemente y estamos sorprendidos porque de verdad los usa mucho. Se amoldan rápido y quedan muy cómodos. Birks + calcetines = ser feliz

Das Produkt entsprach normaler Birkenstock Qualität. Leider war es die falsche Größe und die Rücksendung wurde zur wahren Odysee.

1. die Rücksendekosten werden vom Erstattungsbetrag abezogen
2. Rückerstattung erfolgt erst bei Paket Eingang, da dass Lager aber nicht in Deutschland ist und Versandunternehmen leider auch nicht verlässlich sind, zog sich die Erstattung ganze 4 Wochen. Der Kundenservice war stets bemüht, aber nicht sehr hilfreich: das Paket war seit Wochen angekommen - es wurde nur nicht bearbeitet.
