Birkenstock Boston Suede Clogs

I have found these to fit well & be comfortable. After I wore them for a while they became even more comfortable. I use clogs or slip ons only when transversing one floor level; I do not use them on stairs. But for staying on one level, these are a go to shoe.

These i could live in

These are the best, so comfortable from day one. Never want to wear real shoes again.

I have pain in my metatarsal (forefoot) area; the older I get, the more padding I'm losing. A podiatrist recommended I always wear shoes with support, even at home. I used to wear slippers with some padding but that just doesn't cut it anymore & I think it led to damaging my feet. Birkenstocks were suggested & since I've owned a pair of the sandals for about 10 years (!), I decided to give them a try as my at-home shoes.I've been wearing them for about 6 months now, every day as soon as I get home. They have made a huge difference in how my feet feel. The metatarsal pain has not gone away completely but it is significantly diminished.I like this slip on/slip off version because it's more like a slipper. They are also pretty much non-marking although you can leave a light mark on a floor if you turn really fast. The mark is easily wiped off with just a damp cloth; no scrubbing. These shoes wear really well. I tend to be a "stomper" & a fast-walker but these shoes can handle it.I normally wear size 7.5 (US size). My feet are average width. The 38 M (EU) fits me perfectly. My toes can wiggle & I can wear thick socks if I choose.There is some break-in time with these shoes. The heat of your foot & your weight will form the cork to your feet. If you've ever tried on someone else's Birkenstocks, you'll know what I mean. Some people have trouble with this & should wear them for a few hours at a time until broken in. I did not experience any pain with my break-in period.You can have these shoes resoled, the liners replaced, etc. at a good shoe repair shop. People love their Birki's & hate to throw them away.I bought 4 more pair of Birkenstocks since I bought these….I have 2 pair I only wear inside my house & 2 pair for running errands/casual wear. They are worth every penny they cost! Your feet are not replaceable so take care of them before they cause you pain.

I have a superhigh arch, so high that I often can't get my foot into a lot of different types of shoes, and when I can, the arch support is usually lacking. I scoured the net for a pair that would be comfortable and easy to wear for the house, errand running and general casual usage. These Birk's popped up time and time again... so, I went for them after reading all the great reviews. I'm sorry I threw my money away on these... Inside the bed of the shoe, there is a variety of different bumps, ridges and such that, I suppose, are meant to conform to the shape of your foot. When you put the shoe on and stand still it is fine, and actually feels ok, but then you take a few steps and your foot slides around a little (because it is a clog!) and those ridges and bumps wind up in the wrong places and feel uncomfortable and hurty! I thought, "maybe I just need to get used to them, Ill wear them around for a while and see". Not so much. No getting used to these. It's like wearing a shoe with a pencil, and a wadded up napkin inside. So, I wore them outside like a dummy (for desperate hopes that they would grow on me), and now I cant return them. So so so sad. Granted, I bought them online, maybe I should have known better and tried on multiple sizes and consulted a shoe-person in a store; but heck, I've been buying shoes on-line for a while and generally have good luck... Not this time. So, either go try them on in a store and talk to a shoe-expert-person, or just don't buy them unless you like having lumps under your feet all day... :(

I love Birkenstocks and have had a pair on my feet and two pairs in the closet since I was a teen. Like all my Birkenstocks, the Boston clogs fit well and are very comfortable. However, I'm giving the clogs a 4 star because the ones I received do not have a soft footbed. It doesn't really matter to me because I've worn the original and the soft footbed and can't tell the difference, but I feel, if the description says "SFB" then I expect them to be SFB when they're delivered.
