I am a big fan of Birkenstock shoes. I wear them daily and own 4 different pairs (2 clogs & two sandals). I was so hoping that these new Birkis Clogs would be equally comfy as my regular birks. I'm a professional chef and I really need a pair of quality comfortable shoes. I hope they get more comfortable as I wear them around the house and garden. Sadly they are way too big and horribly hard and stiff. It's like walking on cement. I'd return the shoes but the box it arrived in was held together by box tape. The fit/size is way different than normal birks, these clogs run BIG!
