First, I bought my standard 38 (I have more than 10 pair of Birks in this size). They felt tiny, narrow and short. The style is super cute, but the color was also not as pictured. I ordered Tea and the ones I got were a drab taupe color. Lastly, under the "tongue" region of the shoe is a piece of thick elastic holding the left and right side of the shoe together, this would be great for walking comfort with socks, but without socks this piece of elastic cuts the top of the foot. Someone else complained of the same issue and posted a foot pic, glad I am not alone on this. I do have very high arches, so that might be why it's an issue for me. I retuned these and went with the shearling Boston one size larger than my normal and I love those - plus the tea color was ... MoreFirst, I bought my standard 38 (I have more than 10 pair of Birks in this size).

I have always heard about how comfortable and healthy Clogs are. I have also been advised that Birkenstock is one of the most preferred brands but can run pricey. After much thought and deliberation, I decided to go ahead and get a pair in Habana Oiled Leather. I am a size 12 regular and ordered the 45 EUD US 12-12.5. After receiving them very quickly, 24hrs (On Thanksgiving nonetheless) I finally tried them on. Based on my research and the advice I received from professionals, I guess I thought my feet would feel better than ever. Well...The first thing I noticed was aside from how nice the color was is that although the length is good, the toe-box area seems to be too low and feels like it is pushing down on my big toe. I am hopeful that this will change with ... MoreI have always heard about how comfortable and healthy Clogs are.

I am hopeful that this will change with use, but for now it is very uncomfortable and very limiting to how long I can keep these on. The next thing I noticed is that as nice as the color is, if anything drips on it whether it's water, soap, coffee, tea, or anything, it leaves unsightly stains on the shoe which are not easy to clean.I do hope that as I spend more times wearing these, my experience will improve, but for now, I can't recommend, especially not at the current price point.

Back in the day (10 years ago) you had to break these bad boys in before they were comfortable to wear. Super surprised when I bought a pair this year and they were immediately comfy. They did change the design of the shoe on the inside where your toes are at which I noticed right away. I thought I wouldn't like how that felt on my toes, but my feet made a quick adjustment after a couple wears and its not a concern anymore.I am a 9.5 in womens sneakers and a 10 in heels. I purchased a size 10 (a 41 in European measurements), which is an exact fit. Buy them! So stylish and can be worn with anything. I love my birkies!

Love this shoe I own it on black but not sure which one to order in this color because the sizes are labeled incorrectly. 38 says it’s an 8 and the 39 says it’s an 7.5! I know I need the 39 (size 8) but I’m hesitant to order not knowing If they pull a size according to the US label or the European label. Also, I don’t know if this is the same color as the color labeled mink on every other site …is rust a different? couldn’t tell you. I’d also be more inclined to order if I knew it was the actual mink color. not sure why they changed the name on this website
My ache runners feet need these shoes but not in suede. I love the look of the taupe suede, however the suede is very soft and floppy. The clogs collapse when your foot is not inside. Not quite as slip-in friendly as I hoped. More importantly, I fear the soft suede will stretch beyond wear and light color will quickly look grungy. I do not intend to buy a new pair every year. I want a pair that will last.For context, I ordered a 36 narrow, the smallest size available. According to Birkenstocks’s fit calculator. measuring my feet in mm, I should have ordered a 37 regular/wide size. However, I’ve been wearing 36 Arizonas for years on my 6-6.5 US size feet. The suede Boston 36 Narrow fit perfect in length BUT they were slightly too wide for my very average feet. I ... MoreMy ache runners feet need these shoes but not in suede.

According to Birkenstocks’s fit calculator. measuring my feet in mm, I should have ordered a 37 regular/wide size. However, I’ve been wearing 36 Arizonas for years on my 6-6.5 US size feet. The suede Boston 36 Narrow fit perfect in length BUT they were slightly too wide for my very average feet. I adjusted the buckle to the tightest hole to get a snug, perfect fit. No doubt the soft suede will stretch with wear making the shoes completely unwearable since the buckle has no more holes left. Point being, the size calculator is way off!Determined not to give up, I went to a local Birk store that had the Boston in oil leather (iron grey) for woman in a 36 narrow that addressed many of the issues I had with the suede. The leather is far more structured. It isn’t floppy, it stays open and is truly slip in and out ready. The fit seems slightly tighter too and I can go down to the 2nd hole when wearing a thin sock. While the leather will eventually stretch too, I’m confident that it will take longer and be much less significant than the suede. I’d also bet money that the oil leather will look far better a year from now than the taupe suede. (Out of the box, the look of the suede wins but I’m interested in longevity.)Both materials have the amazing Birkenstock footbed that are truly heaven on my sore, almost flat, aging feet. The soft footbed is comfortable out of the box but I’ll probably seek the original footbed for my next pair as I think the original will be better over time as well.I would love to see Nordstrom get more leather options for women in the future as I’m already wanting more colors. Sorry I have to return the suede.
Have these for a couple on months. Fit great, have worn them here and there. Suede stretches out more each time i wear them. Have moved the buckle up several times, no holes left to move to. Shoes literally fall off as I'm walking they are so stretched out. I have several other pairs of Birks and this has not been an issue, same size. They can not even be worn at this point and I can not return them because they have been worn. Just short of $200 beans down the drain!
Loved, but here is the thing when you're a 9.5 dealing in whole sizes. Being that they are roomy shoes, I hoped the size 9 would fit perfectly; it did not. It was just short. The size 10 was unavailable in the store. I went online and chose the size per Macy's size recommendation options. I received a 41. I was not 100% happy as they felt a bit loose, and one of my feet is slightly smaller so the shoe felt bigger on that foot. There was clearly about one inch of space left behind. I tried to convince myself that I was going to wear them with socks & needed the extra space. I decided to wait & shop around. I ordered a pair by Quince in a size 9 as reviews recommended to size down. They were perfect (run a little wider), but I wanted Birkenstocks.

By chance, I walked right in front of a Birkenstock store where I explained my 9.5 size dilemma. I was brought a size 10 in both the Boston Suede and the Boston Shearling (furry inside). They were both perfect!
I purchased these shoes for my daughter for her birthday. I've not given them to her yet as her birthday is still ahead. I'm very pleased that the shoes arrived much earlier than expected. I'm sure she'll love them. Birkenstocks are always great.As a story....back when I was about 13 years old one of my aunts had a business taking tourists to Switzerland. When she came home one time, she was wearing Birkenstock Arizona sandals. I clearly remember telling her that those were the ugliest shoes I'd ever seen. She said everyone in Europe wore them and they were great shoes. Fast forward about 25 years when my daughters were in school. Everyone wanted Birkenstocks. I purchased my daughter a pair of navy Arizona sandals when she was about 10. And later I bought the ... MoreI purchased these shoes for my daughter for her birthday.

Unfortunately, my aunt had passed before my purchase of Birkenstock products. I owed her an apology for my opinion of her Birkenstock shoes. LOL!
These clogs seem to be sold out everywhere, so I was extremely happy to see that they're available here in most sizes! Received these clogs about a week ago and wore them on a road trip the following day where there was a lot of walking involved and they were extremely comfortable. It felt like there was hardly a breaking-in period necessary for these clogs! They arrived in perfect condition as well. I am a size 5.5/6, so I was between the decision of ordering the 5/5.5 or the 6/6.5 but I decided to go with the 6/6.5 as some reviews said they ran small. I have narrow feet so even with socks I noticed that they were about 3/4 an inch too big, but they don't feel uncomfortable and the buckle can be adjusted to help as well. It's all an appearance preference. If you ... MoreThese clogs seem to be sold out everywhere, so I was extremely happy to see that they're available here in most sizes!

It's all an appearance preference. If you are between two sizes and have wider feet, I would suggest to opt for the larger size. If you have narrow feet, they are very much true to size! Overall I highly recommend these clogs, I've been wearing them all week and they're the perfect everyday shoe!
