I adore my Boston Fashion Clogs! I've been wearing Birkenstock for 20 plus years and love that the styling just gets more feminine and fashionable. I got these in the Silver Pine color. They are absolutely gorgeous, more blue-green and attractive that what is in the Amazon pictures. The nubuck is a true matte finish and is wearing very well after a month in service. I did spray them with leather protector before I wore them. The leather is sturdy and soft, so they can be worn without socks. This is great because I have been wearing them with summer dresses and capri pants. Thank you Birkenstock for making these in the original footbed. It molds to feet and gives arch and heel support so much better than the soft footbed. Original footbeds take about a week of wear to conform to an individuals feet, but it is one of the most worthwhile things I have done for my foot health. I'm considering the anemone or potent purple next. I think those colors will be great in a Northern California autumn and winter!
