Boston Soft Clog (Men)

This is a very popular shoe and hard to find this winter. I found these in the "men's shoes" area on the website -- apparently the women's shoes only carry these up to size 41, and I wear 42 (woman's 11). Anyway I found them and love, love -- like I love, love my MANY pairs of Birks of all kinds. I bought the gray and really like the color. Debated getting the brown, but glad I didn't. So, about the fit . . . some reviewers say they are running small -- my experience is just the opposite -- they feel larger than my usual sandals and the other pair of Boston shearling Birks I have. But that's okay; I would not want to go smaller since I can wear these w/chunky socks and tighten the strap. If you are used to wearing Birkenstocks, I would go with your regular size.

As other reviews say, don’t size up. Ur foot may rest fine in a bigger size, but once you start walking, they will be flimsy. Recommend to order ur normal Arizona / sandal size, not go one size up like usual slides/ cozy shoes. I’ll update my review once I have a better gage on what my true size is in these. But def don’t size up or you’ll have a ton of space on the sides.

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.

I have always heard about how comfortable and healthy Clogs are. I have also been advised that Birkenstock is one of the most preferred brands but can run pricey. After much thought and deliberation, I decided to go ahead and get a pair in Habana Oiled Leather. I am a size 12 regular and ordered the 45 EUD US 12-12.5. After receiving them very quickly, 24hrs (On Thanksgiving nonetheless) I finally tried them on. Based on my research and the advice I received from professionals, I guess I thought my feet would feel better than ever. Well... The first thing I noticed was aside from how nice the color was is that although the length is good, the toe-box area seems to be too low and feels like it is pushing down on my big toe. I am hopeful that this will change with use, but for now it is very uncomfortable and very limiting to how long I can keep these on. The next thing I noticed is that as nice as the color is, if anything drips on it whether it's water, soap, coffee, tea, or anything, it leaves unsightly stains on the shoe which are not easy to clean. I do hope that as I spend more times wearing these, my experience will improve, but for now, I can't recommend, especially not at the current price point.
