I bet! The Arizona sandals are always popular in Canada in the summertime but the clogs haven’t seen a resurgence like this since I was in high school. I guess you’re just ahead of the trend 😉
An 11 out of 10 for your excellent review! You can feel your enthusiasm :) I can only agree, the Birkenstock Boston clogs are the perfect transitional shoes for me - I usually wear them barefoot, in the mornings in autumn when it's still cold my toes are covered and in the afternoon when it's warm my heels are free. Exactly as you say, for yoga, for example, I love the clogs for quickly slipping in and out. I also had the problem that the color taupe is always sold out and I decided on the brown shade mink. And to be honest, I don't think it's that bad that the suede leather is a bit more sensitive than smooth leather, to a certain extent I think it's nice to have a patina, a used look, so you can see that I like wearing it: I live in my Birkenstock :) Best regards 👣🌸🤗
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! So happy to hear you enjoyed the review. Still loving my birks and really happy to hear you love yours as well. And that’s a great point that they can get that nicely worn in look 🤍 so appreciate you watching!
just ordered a pair of Bostons for the autumn/winter and I really like your colour😍 and the way you styled the different outfits, this helped me out a lot so thanks girl 💗
You say that you highly recommend the soft footbed. I have a slightly different opinion about that topic because back in the days when the soft footbed was released things looked a bit different. A small review: The soft footbed was invented in 1999 as in german called “Weichbettung” and no marking or label on the footbed has indicated it so that usually a small white round sticker was attached at the heel of the footbed to distinguish it visually from the hard ones. But it was a huge difference to today´s version. The latex cushion underneath the suede liner was at least twice as thick, much much softer and almost reached the edges of the footbed, so the heel was completely padded all around. When I first stepped in it, it was an awesome feeling like walking on a thick squashy pillow, no comparison to this pseud today where is only this well known small thin stripe at the bottom of the footbed which isn´t really soft at all. When I went to the Birkenstock store in 2004 as every year to buy me a new model I realized that Birkenstock had drastically changed the soft footbed. I asked what this change was about, but none of the salesladies could give me a real answer. Fortunately, in this transitional period, there were still some models with the old soft version in stock. Guessing that this old type of cushion would soon be completely replaced, I decided impulsively to make me a own stock and bought about 5 pairs with the old version. After that I called the Birkenstock headquarters to ask why the soft footbed was changed so badly. At first, they denied the change, but on further inquiries they admitted they had changed the footbed. The reasons were as follows: In extreme daily use, the suede liner loses his elasticity over time. Due to the very thick latex padding underneath, the suede liner can not stretch enough anymore when stepping on and tears apart. Because there were a lot of complaints, the padding now was made much thinner and firmer to prevent the suede liner from tearing. They know that this was at the expense of the comfortable feeling but Birkenstock is, of course, a company that has to work for profit so that I could understand the change in some way. Therefore, if I buy a new pair today, I prefer the normal hard version instead of the soft one. At the time of the old soft footbed, however, that would never have been an option for me and I had argued like you. By the way: your Boston outfits, especially the one at 6'55, are very cute 😉
Thanks so much 💕 Wow! What a history of the soft footbed I wasn’t aware of. Thanks for sharing! Though it sounds like the old soft footbed would have been a lot more comfortable and I can totally understand your frustration (I hate when companies discontinue your fave products 😭) I do still like the new one better than the original. I’ll just never know what I’m missing!!
I guess it depends on just how casual it is? But I’d probably still wear something more formal since it is a wedding. That said I did actually change into these shoes at the last wedding I was at after the ceremony! But it was on a farm and I’m pregnant so I needed out of my heels eventually 😉 but made sure to put back on my nicer shoes for the photos!
I honestly have both and find them both really comfortable! Crocs are way easier to care for, and less expensive, but they’re also a super casual shoe. I wear them mostly in summer for walking the dog, going to a workout class etc. I find these birks can be dressed up a lot more and go with a ton of outfits. Because of that I tend to wear my Birkenstock clogs much more often, but depending on your style and lifestyle maybe the opposite could be true!
Girls would get these clogs stolen all the time during school when I was young! I used to love seeing it. A girl would be shoe playing or had them off during the class or in the library! You’d see her come to class with her clogs and she would be leaving in socks by the time the bell rang hehe
I feel Birk sizing is WAY OFF. I’m a TRUE size 8 and have always worn 38s which is a 7-7.5. I mistakenly ordered a 39 which is 8-8.5 without looking at my other Birks. I even printed out their sizing template to reassure myself that they’ll probably fit with socks. NO. The template said I should be a size 41. Everyone do yourself a favor and size DOWN. I own Boston regular fit, Florida regular fit, Arizona regular fit and Madrid narrow fit…all size 38 which is a size down from what I normally wear.
The only problem is that they only released a couple colors in the natural full grain leather and they instantly sold out because that's what people want is the high quality leather that's soft and smooth on the inside. They keep on putting out more and more colors and restocking the cheap suede knock off of the natural leather. It's a completely different shoe. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on natural leather in this style, they will be soft and smooth on the inside and out and last forever. The suede that they chose to apparently replace due to the no restock of what's in demand is literally a cheap knockoff that you can buy at Stone Mountain for 50 bucks or less. Everybody should stop buying these shoes until they go back to using the high quality material that they want to used to produce these shoes. They won't even restock it. It sells out instantly but they don't want to continue to make those? It's confusing to people that they call these Suede Shoes the same thing that they call the high quality. It even looks the same. Until you get it home and realize it is absolutely nothing like the high quality material they used to use used to use and won't restock in this brand or the Buckley. Everybody should just stop buying the suede junk. Maybe then, they will resume making the high quality shoes we have grown to know and love.
I'm going to highly recommend the Buckley for women instead of the Boston. Buckleys come in a range of leather and colors nd doesn't make a gal's foot look like a Hobbit's the way Boston does.
It’s a birthmark on my leg. Not sure what the point in telling me I have “weird” eyes is but hopefully this message makes you realize some comments are better left unsent 🙃
Its so crazy that they are trendy right now. In Germany we wear them everywhere since years 😄

Aw thank you so much! Really happy to hear that and hope you enjoy your birks as much as I love mine 🤍
I remember you wearing these when we were 15! Love this revival of the boston clog! 😍
Omg yes!! I loved them so much then too.

The Boston clog is great. A classic for so many years. They are so comfortable once broken in. Birkenstock lasts for years.
They’re great shoes!! Happy to hear you love them too 🤍
perfect video as always. hope to see more birk videos in this autumn.😍you are great.
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely try to make more birk videos 🤍
Hello , can i ask for your opinion are they good for hot weather
Hi! I think they’re better for spring/fall than summer if it’s really hot out.
I have the Boston Birks and Scholl dupe. They are half the cost, they are ok I got a 6. I am 5.5 reg in Birks. the scholl just fit.
I got the Boston clog when I was 16. I have been wearing for 20 years. I love my ugly shoes so much.
I love them too! Amazing you’re been wearing them for so long 🤍 and glad you found my video
Could my wife and I wear our Noston clogs to a casual wedding?
I guess it depends on just how casual it is? But I’d probably still wear something more formal since it is a wedding.
That said I did actually change into these shoes at the last wedding I was at after the ceremony! But it was on a farm and I’m pregnant so I needed out of my heels eventually 😉 but made sure to put back on my nicer shoes for the photos!
I get the size 39 in narrow Birkenstocks should I get the 39 in the bostons ? Or size down
Ohhh I’m not sure! I have a fairly wide foot so I’m not an expert on narrow fits.
What you think looks better , clogs or crocs , I think crocs there so comfy
I honestly have both and find them both really comfortable! Crocs are way easier to care for, and less expensive, but they’re also a super casual shoe. I wear them mostly in summer for walking the dog, going to a workout class etc.
I find these birks can be dressed up a lot more and go with a ton of outfits. Because of that I tend to wear my Birkenstock clogs much more often, but depending on your style and lifestyle maybe the opposite could be true!
@@SamanthaYonge yeah I mostly always rock crocs there so comfy it’s just annoying in the rain and your socks get wet 😭x
Great video!! However, I was wondering if you ever wear the Bostons without socks?
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Sometimes I do but mostly just with socks.
Girls would get these clogs stolen all the time during school when I was young! I used to love seeing it. A girl would be shoe playing or had them off during the class or in the library! You’d see her come to class with her clogs and she would be leaving in socks by the time the bell rang hehe

To each their own! I love the look of the Boston clog but get they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea 😉
Thanks for watching!
The problem is they're so ugly haha they look vintage in a bad way to me, I highly prefer the look of the Boston!
The buckleys also only come in narrow which does not work for me..i prefer bostons

Ignore negative comments. People are rude. Excellent video.
