I am on my feet a lot. These Boston Soft Footbed clogs are the perfect shoe for me to run my errands, take care of household chores, and keep my feet comfortable and supported in the process. Excellent shoe to protect one's feet while on the go.

I wear a womans 6.5 - 7 depending on the style of the shoe. I ordered a 37 narrow & a 38 narrow to compare size difference. The 37 fit exactly perfectly barefoot. With socks the 37's were slightly too small in my opinion length wise. So I kept the 38's. I was more comfortable with the length. Very comfortable shoe. I took them on vacation & did a lot of walking in them. They were comfortable all day.

I wear a 39 in the Mayari sandal, but needed to go down a size to 38 for this shoe.

The Boston Soft Footbed is wondereful. However, I will return for the same shoe in Narrow vs the Regular. My left foot is a borderline 38/39 and my right foot is a solid 38. I read a review from a customer with the same problem who ordered the 38 Regular instead of the 38 Narrow, and this solved her problem. Sadly, this did not work for me. I appreciate the fact I can return the shoe and reorder in my correct size.

Awesome! I normally get a 41 but I decided to size down to a 40 and they fit great. Not to tight and not sloppy. Very comfortable.

I am on my feet a lot, and I know Birkenstocks are known for being very good to the feet. This Birkenstock Boston soft footbed is so comfortable and supportive; perfect for getting my work around the house done and for running errands. Great shoe for those of us on our feet a lot and who need comfort and support to keep our feet and posture healthy and aligned.

Love the soft footbed. Sizing is off though and ordering a size smaller and the narrow width worked it’s magic. The shoe is comfy, cozy in suede. Taupe goes with everything. Perfect for hanging out at home or going out and about. Really good arch support too. The shoe will eventually conform to my foot but in the meantime it’s still an exceptionally comfortable shoe.

If you order Birkenstocks order the soft foot bed and order from Zappos because their real... I ordered some from the Birkenstock website and they didn't look real so I returned and ordered from Zappos... I was on a wait list waiting to order from Zappos and got an e-mail letting me know my size were in stock... I've been ordering from Zappos every year for three years... The fit is wonderful and will order again...

Had to exchange for a size 36 from 37 , I feel they run large. I usually take a 6.5 -7 shoe . Great support and toe room . Comfortable from the moment I put them on. First pair of Birkenstock but definitely not my last !

These clogs were comfortable, right away (as were the Birkenstock sandles, which I bought with this order). I prefer the option of the "Soft Footbed" to the footbed with less padding. In this shoe, I was seeking something with more coverage (but still a slide-on) than a sandle. In my Central Florida city, these two styles of shoes (i.e., clogs and sandles) should get much wear! I like to walk; and comfort and protection are what I seek from a shoe. I also like neutral shoe colors, to match my clothes, for ease in dressing. :-) I don't wear shoes in my home; so a slide-on, at my front door, is so convenient for me! I, most often, wear a size 7 shoe; and have an average, leaning to narrow, foot width. These clogs fit me, perfectly! I'll be able to wear an average or thin pair of socks with both of my new pairs of Birkenstocks. I like the "Habana Oiled Leather" color and look of this clog, as I appreciate neutral-colored (i.e., brown) shoes with a matte finish (so a potential scuff won't glare out, as much as with a shinier shoe). Additionally, I like the natural materials that are used in the Birkenstock brand (i.e., cork and leather). I was glad to find that a narrow width Birkenstock worked for my feet, as I wanted a slimmer look to my shoe. I really like my new clogs; and expect to have many years of comfortable walking in them!

I purchased this same shoe in a different color a while ago and love the shoe! I really appreciate the soft footbed as it is a lot more comfortable for me. Because I'm so happy with the other color, I had to have this shoe in black also. The narrow size is still a little wide for me as I have a very narrow foot; however, it's perfect with socks. I require arch support but don't want it to feel like a stone in my shoe. This arch support is perfect. I love shopping at Zappos! Their Customer Service is second to none. I like ordering shoes and getting them the next day! Thanks, Zappos!

Extremely comfortable since I have very problematic feet and most top named shoes cause me pain....These offer pain free walking.. Had to go up 1 size and to the Regular width.

My brother got a pair of Boston’s for Christmas a few years ago. We all teased him because they’re a little goofy looking. Fast forward, I’m in agonizing back and foot pain. My doctor says it’s my shoes (men’s dress shoes I thought were half way decent). So I bought a pair. I LOVE THEM. I wear them all the time at home, and I often bring them to work to change into when I’m in my office. They are so comfortable. I’d definitely recommend the soft foot bed. The one downside to the suede is that it flops down when you take them off. I’ll buy the leather for my next pair.

I typically wear a size 5 medium. After reading other reviews, I ordered a full size down and ordered the narrow rather than the medium and they fit perfectly. These clogs could be cushier in the foot bed area, but they are pretty comfy and I love the way they look. As a casual, comfortable shoe, they are great.

I just purchased 2 pairs of this style in suede--mocha and black. They are very comfortable. I've worn Birkenstock clogs and sandals for 20 years, both regular and softbed. I wear shoe size 8 1/2 narrow. Size 39 narrow fits me perfectly in every pair I own. I like this style as the top half of the shoe fits closer to the foot and looks good....more attractive than other clog styles I have that are wider in that area. I also like the adjustable buckle strap ensuring a good fit. I like the suede leather as I think it is a bit more comfortable. I have no problems wearing a regular footbed and I also like the softfoot bed. Highly recommend.

I was initially hesitant about this shoe but read the reviews and ordered a 'narrow'. It fits fine and the soft footbed isn't mushy.

This was my second try with Birkenstock. The first time, they were just too hard. I thought the soft footbed would help with the break-in period. But the footbed just isn't shaped like my foot enough to be comfortable. And they felt too wide (I ordered narrow for my medium width foot). I am returning them. The length was fine; I used the Zappos size conversion information. I liked the look and feel of the oiled leather.
