I've been wearing birkenstock milanos for about 20 years. I have a lot of sensory issues that make finding the right shoe a big challenge, so when i find something that works, i tend to latch on, and birks REALLY work for me. I've always felt that the standard milano that i wear was serviceable and comfortable--by far the most important characteristics in a shoe--the visual has always seemed...well, clunky. I'm fine with with clunky if it's comfortable, but if they could look a little more attractive...Reader, these maintain the standard birkenstock comfort, my biggest worry, and might even be MORE comfortable than your regular milano style. The foot bed is a regular width birk foot bed, not a narrow, so whatever you usually wear in birks will be fine in these. I'm not getting any rubs or uncomfortable binding spots, and if anything, i think i find it even easier than usual to get my foot into that sweet spot in the foot bed. And yes, i think they're more delicate looking than your standard birk, if a little slower to put on because the ankle strap does need to be buckled every time.For newcomers to the world of birkenstocks, i should mention that birks, far more than most sandals, will only get more comfortable the more you wear them. The cork foot bed is designed to compress and mold to your foot over time, so they feel less like wearing shoes and more like standing barefoot in sand. I believe some studies may have even indicated that they're especially good at correcting for some foot issues. If the foot bed doesn't feel right at first, give them a few weeks of wear around the house to break in; it won't be long before they start leaping out of the closet and onto your feet.
Buy a size larger as normal
Ok but Birkenstock getting more and more expensive
ottimo venditore
ottimo
this clogs are super comfy and they hug your feet, i am a person with feet arch and not all shoes feels comfy for me, but this clogs are the perfect once, the only recommendation i will give you is get a 1 size smaller, i had to return the 1st pair bcs they run a little bigger, i wear 9/9,5 and i had to return them and get 8/8,5 and they fit like a glove 🧤
These Birkenstocks are the most confortable shoes ever. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes cured me and made it possible to walk without pain again. I took a star off because Amazon describes these as Boston Soft footbed. These actually have the regular footbed. And that turned out to be really good. The regular footbed it very supportive and excellent. The soft footbed is comfortable but not very supportive and would not have helped my plantar fasciitis.
I’ve worn Birkenstocks for over 35 years–sandals, shoes and clogs–back when most people had never heard of them. I started wearing them for the comfort since nothing else has ever fit me so well. Some styles don’t fit my feet as well as others–the Zurich model sandals have a strap buckle that hits the top of my toes and raises a sore spot. Some styles I’ve learned to love dearly–like the Arizona and Milano. The Boston is one of the styles that I’ve really loved since the beginning. Homely, clunky and lacking in stylishness, it’s incredibly comfortable and practical. Like all traditional Birkenstock styles, it’s made with a leather covered cork footbed that does require some breaking in for maximum comfort. After a few days of wear, the hard footbed begins to soften a bit and it will take on the shape of your foot while providing excellent support. One thing I have noticed about Birkenstock’s clogs and shoes, it’s usually best to order a size up from what you wear in Birkenstock sandals. My reasoning is that you will then be better able to wear socks with the clogs and utilize them as regular shoes. With sandals, you can always loosen the straps to accommodate socks but the enclosed foot nature of clogs limits this practice. Also, for some reason my feet perspire more with clogs so I prefer to wear socks except for just puttering around the house.Bostons, like all Birkenstocks, wear well. The cork should occasionally be resealed with Cork Life or Kelly’s Cork Renew. If the cork becomes damaged but remains in otherwise decent shape, Cork Life or Cork Renew can be used to fill in the damaged area. If the outsoles begin to come unglued, Barge Cement will repair it perfectly. Same for the suede footbed liner. If you don’t feel comfortable doing the work yourself, do an online search for places that specialize in Birkenstock repair and resoles. This might be the best option for clogs since the enclosed nature of the shoe means some parts are not readily accessible without disassembling the whole thing. Mainly, just know Birkenstocks can be repaired and can last a very long time with care and maintenance. I have a couple of pair from the early 80s that still wear well.I’m sold on Birkenstocks. I’ve recommended them to a lot of people and those who try them have never said they were disappointed. The prices have increased substantially over the years but the quality remains excellent.
