Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

These Berlin stocks are really great shoes, and keep you feet warm on cold days. They fit true to size.

I’ve always wanted to try a pair of Birks but I wasn’t a fan of suffering through pain while breaking in the hard footbed of the originals. I usually wear a 7 medium in most shoes so I ordered the 38 regular because I didn’t want them to be too constricting for my toes and I needed room for thick socks. Birkenstock states that their Narrow width is for Narrow/Medium width feet and the Regular width is for Wide/Extra Wide feet. For me I found that the Regular width gave me more room to relax my toes without them feeling constricted or discomfort. I adjusted the buckle to the tightest hole. The length was also perfect. I can wear my thick Winter socks and they are still a comfortable fit. The Brown Almalfi Leather is a very dark, espresso brown with a gloss to aged look that scratched and worn looking. This ‘Boston’ style is a half-clog with an open back that’s easy to slip on and off. Even though the soft foot bed is comfortable, I still found that I had to wear these around the house for a few days because the top part of the suede lining rubbed the top of my foot. They’re comfortable now and easy to slip on/off. I love them and will buy more.

This is my second Birkenstock purchase. I really like the casual look of this style. The foot bed is comfortable and fits just right. True to size. If anything you can adjust the belt on the shoe for better comfort.

The fit and size was as expected. Nice suede shoes

LOVE! These shoes are perfect. The roomy width makes the shoe fit like it was originally intended. These didn’t take ANY “break in” time. They were perfect from the start. Already my favorite shoes.

Birkenstock’s is the only brand I wear. I feel that the footbed in the Amalfi leather is more comfortable than the oiled or suede but might be just me. Zappos is my only shoe store. Best service ever!

I would size down 1 whole size.

I normally wear a 7 or 7.5 U.S. men's shoe size and I ordered the corresponding Birkenstock size of 40. The fit and size are perfect without socks or with thin socks. The upper is soft and the footbed is comfortable with a good amount of arch support. This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and I'm enjoying them so far!

I have resisted buying Birkenstock Boston’s because they look a little dumpy, but decided the comfort outweighed the look. I tried them in three sizes, 38 and 39 Regular and 40 Narrows. I bought a pair of Arizona’s in 39 N and tried that as well in the Boston but that was way too small. The 38 regular was too short and the 40 Narrows pinched with thick socks so I ended with my original 39 size. They’re a little wide but they feel divine on my mostly sore and tired feet. And I actually think they’re sort of cute. My husband thinks they’re hideous but loves that I’m happy.

Run a bit big. I’m a 7.5 and fit a 37. Run wide, but I prefer that very comfortable and great arch support. I’m obsessed. Love all clogs.

Perfect!

Remember to size down with Birkenstock. They run big! Sandals and clogs.

Very comfortable!!

These are my favorite shoes, even if they are not shoes, my biggest issue with them is that they are too comfortable (once broken in) to take off. That being said, give them a week of solid break in to get to that level of comfort by wearing them around the house or yard. The stiffness on the footbed will gradually give way to form to your feet.

Great fit. Typical Birkenstock comfort.

Beautiful shoes. I did send them back though. Not because of quality or service, they were excellent. The shoes were much darker brown than they looked in the pictures. They were so close to my black birks that I couldn’t justify having 2 exact pairs almost identical in color. I’ll order a lighter brown to suede maybe.

Very comfortable. No break in time whatsoever!

I normally wear a 37 in the Arizona style, so that’s what I originally ordered. Because of the closed toe, they were a tad short; my toes hit the end. Returned and re-ordered in a 38 and they are perfect.

The Bostons in Narrow were a better fit for me. They are also super comfortable right out of the box!

It's very good~ Thanks :)

This shoe feels like I’m walking on a cloud! Absolutely love Boston softbed!!

It's been a while since I have had a pair of Birks. I am glad I opted for the narrow width based on other reviews. I am either a size 6.5 or 7 and the size 37 are a perfect fit. The footbed is very comfortable. I have worn them around the house to break them in, but I don't think I even need to break them in.

I wear a women’s size 8 and the unisex size 39 narrow fit perfectly

feels like a durable material and looks of great quality.

Just what I was looking for - the familiar comfort of Birks. Love the navy suede, too.
