Birkenstock Women's Boston Soft Footbed Clogs - Iron Oil Leather Narrow Fit (EU 36) | Comfortable Slip-On Shoes for Home, Office & Casual Wear

5 YEAR UPDATE: I'm still wearing these shoes daily to work and running errand. I'm on my third set of footbeds thanks to my local Birkenstock repair center (new cork footbed and soles run about $70-80). I'm pretty hard on shoes, and these take quite the beating and keep going. I totally love them! The photo was taken just after my third footbed (the tops are squished in the photo, but they still hold the shape).Original Review: These shoes are wonderful because they meet all the requirements for my workplace dress code and they are comfortable. An added bonus for me is our local shoe store is an authorized Birkenstock repair shop. That means this clogs will last for forever!If you're thinking of purchasing these, keep these things in mind:- Birkenstocks require a longer break in period than other shoes. They soften over time and become custom fit to your foot.- These are NOT for wandering through puddles. The cork at the back is sealed, but the sealant will need refreshing occasionally. I purchased a small bottle of cork glue from my local dealer and make sure to treat the cork occasionally.- The sole does have latex in it, however, the footbed (the part your feet will come in contact with) is leather. This was an initial concern for me as I'm allergic to latex. I haven't had a single reaction to these shoes, so no worries. :)These shoes are pretty much like a dream come true! Birkenstock for me marries function and comfort. Perhaps they aren't the most fashionable, but an extra long slack means that my boss is none the wiser and I don't get lectured about how I live in hippie sandals.
