These shoes are fantastic! I bought my first pair of Birkenstock sandals in the summer and absolutely loved them. The comfort is unbelievable. So when fall rolled around, I needed a pair of Birki's that would keep my toes warm. These fit the bill perfectly. I wear them all day long and my feet feel great! I'm totally in love with Birkenstocks and it's the only brand of shoes I'm buying from now on. They're well worth the price!

I like clogs - slip 'em on, no laces, no struggle, done. But it's hard to find a simple, casual clog that isn't hideous or clunky. And let's face it, Crocs - as comfy as they are - are still made of plastic and pretty white trash (don't get me wrong, I own some). Anyway, these shoes should be a hit if you're looking for a simple clog. They're comfy, light, not ugly and a solid quality product that you're gonna get your money out of. These clogs are also much less bulky than my prior fur-lined Tatamis and not quite as massively wide in the toe bed as some other Birks. I'm giving them four stars for style simply because clogs really aren't very stylish. I was tempted to get the rusty reddish colored ones since they're a little more funky but these green ones are a good neutral (almost grey-looking) color, and well, they were on sale. No complaints at all about these shoes.

These shoes are amazing. Okay, they are not gorgeous (although fairly cute as far as Birks go) but they have rocked my world. I have had chronic foot pain due to an arthritic big toe joint and plantar fasciitis. I bought these shoes a month ago to wear around the house (and I'm here a lot because I work from home) and my pain is gone! Will soon buy a new pair for out of home usage (usually I wear Danskos but I am now convinced the Birks are even better for me). Also, as usual, super quick delivery by Zappos.

Love Birkenstocks. I got these as an indoor slipper because I needed something supportive around the house. They are perfect. My only complaint is they are a tiny bit itchy if you where them without socks. But you do get used to it and it's not as bothersome as it sounds. Love them.

I have been looking for an indoor slipper for winter for 1 year and finally decided on these. Like all Birk's they are very supportive and have the rubber sole for quick runs to the mailbox. Obviously this is a real shoe and can be worn anywhere, but it also makes a great warm slipper. FYI the wool is not itchy, usually I can't stand wool, but this was OK. Plus there is enough room to wear with sleep socks on those really cold mornings.

Absolutely love the style of this shoe. I find I can wear it all day, and it is as comfortable at the end of my day as when I started my day. Being as it is wool felt, on a blustery day it has just the added warmth that is welcome. This shoe is true to size with excellent arch support.

I think these are beautiful in their simplicity. Of course, like all the Birkenstocks that I have encountered, they are well built. The felt is sturdy and warm.

These are awesome! I use them as slippers. This is my 3rd pair of Birkenstocks this year. They give me all the support I need to keep the plantar fasciitis away. I also bought a pair for my husband. He's a fan too!
