Birkenstock Amsterdam Clog

I'm on my feet all day in my role as keeper of home and family. I need comfortable shoes that I can walk in, inside and out, climb ladders in, wear when driving the youngest to/ from the train each day, etc. Used to be I'd wear runners (tennis shoes, joggers, whatever you call them) but they don't offer the sort of support and comfort I'm after. Crocs filled the bill nicely for a few years but they're just so ugly.So last year I bought a pair of Birkenstock Boston. They felt way too big and were actually painful because the leather was so hard it dug into the top of my (slim) foot with every step I took. I sent them to the op shop. Being a bit of an optimist, when I saw the Birkenstock Amsterdam, with wool felt top, at a local designer store, I decided to try Birkenstock again.As always, my first stop was Amazon, and, as is usually the case, I found what I was after and at a better price than anywhere else. These shoes arrived much faster than expected and I put them on as soon as they were delivered.They've hardly been off my feet in the days since. They're lightweight, all the weird bumps are in the right places, the wool felt is very comfortable against the skin, they look a lot better than Crocs, they can be worn with or without socks, they're roomy but not massive.... these shoes, for me, are 100% perfect,For comparison, I bought a size 37. I wear a US women's size 6.5 in Frye, Keen, Sam Edelman, etc, a Euro 37 in Swedish Hasbeens and Ara, and an English size 4 in Clarks Originals and Doc Martens. The 37 is perfect for my regular but more toward wide than narrow feet. Wide shoes are way too wide but some B widths can be a bit pinchy.Because they're so comfortable, I'm even learning to love the look of my new Birkenstocks.

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'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.

Shoes are perfect, and they were sold out everywhere else in my size (even on the Birkenstock website). They arrived two days after ordering - super fast shipping! Excellent seller - thank you!! I am thrilled!!

There is a short break in period - but otherwise these are sturdy, comfy, and very supportive. They are easy to slip on and off. Easy to walk in without losing them , they have a ridge just behind the toes on the inside that you can grip with your toes. This is small and not at all uncomfortable. They have good arch supports , a must for someone with high arches.

I normally wear an 8.5 medium ( ladies) and sometimes a 9 ( in boots or shoes or shoes with thick socks) so, I was a bit confused as to which size to order but I gambled on the 39Narrow and it fits beautifully. I should note that I sometimes wear an 8.5 Wide since my feet are on the wider side of medium and I prefer wiggle room in the toe box but I would not recommend these in Wide if you have an average Medium width. The narrow size in Birkenstocks is really a B/medium width in US sizes. If I wanted to wear a thick sock with these, I would have to go to the size 40 but I'm planning on wearing them with thin trouser socks or no socks. Sizing up would have been to big to wear barefoot and I wanted to be able to wear these year round.The wool upper is soft and flexible and I'm sure these will break-in after a few wears.The style of this wool clog is a bit dressier than let's say the ' Boston'. These are so nice that I can even wear them with dress slacks and they look very nice and not too casual.

These were purchased for my son. He loves them and can’t say enough about them 😊
