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'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.
The white sole on this design is so unique, I haven't seen another like this and I live in the Northwest where there's a lot of Birkenstock wearers. I plan to wear these through the summer since they're wool and they breath, plus, their light color works for warmer weather.
Order Update (Dec 2015): I still wear these but mainly just around the house for support when standing for long periods in the kitchen. Unlike my other Birkenstocks, these now have a not so nice "feet smell" on the inside. Therefore, I wear them with socks now. Also, the wool will stain and get dirty, so be aware that dirt and food will get on these.
