Love my Birks! Purchased these as an in-between season, everyday casual shoe. These high quality German footwear never disappoint. Fit is like every other Birkenstock i’ve owned: true to size, spacious toe room even for a wider foot. Lovin’ the rich oil rubbed brown tone of these Boston Mules. They do take some time to “break in” so be patient, once they are you won’t want to take them off!

Can't beat that legendary Birkenstock footbed for comfort! The leather upper needs a bit of break-in time, but I don't expect it will take too long. Love the colour of the brown, too -- it's rich and deep. And despite being a clog, these are still nice and light-weight overall.I'll keep my leather well oiled, for protection and comfort.Previous reviews have noted that these fit a bit large. I can add to that chorus. I usually take a 42.5 or 43 Euro size (9.5 to 10 North American size) and dropped to a 42 for these. Perfect fit. I haven't worn a 42 since high school (nor a Birkenstock sandal!) but it really is the right size for this sandal.

Birkenstocks are so comfortable and supportive! I have a pair of sandals and wanted the Boston Clogs for the cooler weather. The black oiled leather goes with everything. And as someone who's had tailors bunion surgery, these shoes are wide enough in the toe box to not bother my scars or cause more problems. Love love love. #sweepstakes

My experience was terrible. When I received my order the box was smashed and the pair of clogs I received were dirty as if someone had already worn them. It was huge inconvenience because I had a event I wanted to wear them to but I was scared to reorder anything from nordstrom because of this experience.
Went to John Lewis to buy a couple of new dresses, which I did successfully. Left the store, then felt something funny with my shoes. I had put on very old, fake Birkenstocks, as I had a blister on my heel. While standing outside John Lewis' they began to disintegrate, with large and small chunks falling off the black sole. I could hardly walk. So I went back inside with my daughter, trailing large and small bits of black sole in my wake. I sat down and asked my daughter and the staff to get me something I could wear and walk around in. They came back with these. Really embarassed about the mess I left behind, and they had two people with brushes and dustpans getting it up. But the staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. And at the end of the day, I have ... MoreWent to John Lewis to buy a couple of new dresses, which I did successfully. Left the store, then felt something funny with my shoes.

I bought these clogs for my teenage son,He says that they are extremely comfortable, and they look great, too. I really like the colour.The sizes run a little bit big, compared to "normal" shoes. In particular, they are very "roomy" around the foot. This isn't a problem, because you can tighten the buckle. But, if you are between sizes, I would choose the smaller one.
I was unsure of which size to choose so bought my usual Birkenstock size Euro 39 (US Women 8-8.5) and they are a perfect fit.Very little breaking in time, comfortable from day one.The beautiful leather and closed toe make these a little more dressy than my other Birkenstock sandals.Very happy.
If you're expecting a pair of shoes that will feel perfectlt comfortable out of the box or simply want to hop on the Boston trend, you might prefer the soft foodbed/suede version of these. But the oiled leather is GORGEOUS and sturdy in a way that you don't find in many shoes these days. I can tell they are going to last for years to come once they have molded to the shape of my feet. And they look really cute, too. I am a woman with mildly wide feet and I took the same size I take in my trusty Arizonas though I feel like the heel is maybe the slightest touch more narrow.One of the shoes arrived a bit crushed - I was surprised they weren't stuffed with anything. Nothing a little stuffing + patience couldn't solve but it did stall the break in process a bit because ... MoreIf you're expecting a pair of shoes that will feel perfectlt comfortable out of the box or simply want to hop on the Boston trend, you might prefer the soft foodbed/suede version of these.

I have worn Arizona sandals for the last 25 years or so, but not previously tried these closed Boston shoes. They're the usual high quality one expects from Birkenstock. Great footbed that's incredibly supportive and comfortable. By only issue is that with other Birkenstock shoes I wear a 7.5 and when 7.5s of Boston arrived they just felt a bit small. I exchanged for a pair of size 8 and while they are perhaps a little big for me, they are more what I find comfortable than the 7.5. Perhaps order your usual size but be prepared to return and replace with once size up if a bit small. Returning through click and collect at Waitrose is very easy.
I bought these to wear inside the house, but they feel so comfortable that I started wearing them when I go for walks in the neighborhood. I have narrow feet and usually shoes feel too lose, but the narrow option of these slides feels just right. They look good as well so I think these will be my everyday footwear option for sometime.
Birkenstock Boston Oiled Leather Regular Fit Clogs are a veritable classic that can easily be worn all year round. Oiled nubuck leather Upper Anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed One strap with an individually adjustable metal pin buckle Suede footbed lining EVA sole Deep heel cup The very deep moulding in the heel area supports the foot tissue and holds the heel bone firmly in its natural position. This provides the foot with nearly as much support when it is in a sandal as when it is in a closed shoe. Heel mould Activates the calf muscles, stabilises the back of the foot and improves gait and coordination. Interior and exterior longitudinal arch supports The arch supports that run alongside the sides of the footbed surround the tarsal bones inside and out. This gives the foot the stability it needs when it takes a step. Transverse arch support The support that runs through the middle of the footbed stabilises the metatarsal bone. In this way, the transverse arch support helps ensure that the foot has a naturally straight and solid stance. Toe grip There are raised indentations at the front of the footbed near the toes. Thanks to the toe grip the toes remain loose and spread out in their natural position. The indentations also support the natural rolling motion of the toes. Footbed edge The footbed is drawn up especially high at the front. As a result, the high footbed edge protects the toes during the rolling motion of the foot.
