Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

These were just what I was looking for: something appropriate for fall/winter that's comfortable that allowed me to slip on/off quickly. I wouldn't walk around with them in icy weather, but just going outside the little I do on a typical work day, pairing these with wool socks are great.

Tried five other brand of similar style of shoe. This was the only shoe that I could wear for my Plantar fasciitis. Very comfortable right out of the box. True to size. The soft footbed technology is great.

I wanted these to wear around the house as slippers for cold weather. Loved the fit of but they weren't as warm as I wanted them to be. Returning them for the ones with the lining. After reading the reviews I think they will be my answer. I'll know in a few days!

Love Birkenstock’s I’ve had several pair and I still have a pair that I’ve had for 17 years, well made great shoes.

Great

I wear a 7.5 and the 38 fit perfect. It took 2 weeks of wearing a few hours a day to break them in. These were my first pair so I wasn’t sure if I made a mistake. After the 2 weeks I started to notice how many of my other shoes have awful arch support.

I'm a size 10 is most sneakers, but a 9.5 in most boots/dress shoes. I started out with a 42, which seemed a little too snug, then returned for a 43. Much better. Since I'm awkwardly in between sizes, they're maybe a little larger than usual but feel so much more comfortable. If in doubt, buy your actual size.

Love these. Wasn’t sure if I should size up as I planned to wear socks, but I ordered my usual size and they are perfect!

I live in Birkenstocks!! I love the soft foot bed, but I also want fun. Solution, buy a pair of taupe and dye them your favorite color, for me these are going to be purple! The best of both worlds. Happy Feet!!!

Very comfortable from day 1. I love these shoes.

I’m typically a 7.5W and all the Birkenstock Arizona pairs that I own are size 37R and fit me perfectly. I went with 38R for this pair because these are going to be my cold weather house shoes and I will be wearing them with socks more often than not. I’m glad I sized up because these are slightly snug with medium thickness socks on. I’m sure with time they will stretch a little bit and be just fine. I do think they are marginally long for me, but I’m pretty sure my usual size would’ve felt much too tight.

I was looking for a comfortable winter shoe as I love the birk sandal I had purchased this summer. These are very comfortable and they look great with jeans. The color is very pretty but I would say these are more casual looking. I already have big feet so they do look a bit clunky. The comfort and color make it worth it though.

Love

Love the soft footbed in these. Debating on sizing up as I planned to wear socks, but went with my usual size and the fit is perfect even with socks.

I have the original footbed in the same style and now prefer the soft footbed. It’s made a big difference as far as my heel pain. This type is also easier to break in. Wasn’t sure about the size but I can wear the same size in both footbed. The soft one seems small at first but after a day or two it is perfect and so comfortable. I will go with the soft footbed from now on. Love these shoes.

I got these in my regular Birkenstock size/width which is 37N. I think I may have been able to go with the regular/wide width - they feel more narrow in the heel than the Arizona style. Length wise they're good. Forest is a really pretty green/grey neutral IRL. I got them because I have a bunion on my left foot and it was becoming painful again now that I haven't been wearing my Birkenstock Arizona's for a few months since it's fall/winter... so I got these to help with the pain. My Dr said Birks are the best thing I can do for my foot to prevent having to have surgery. If you have problematic feet, Birkenstocks are a life saver. I only gave 2 stars for style because let's not lie to ourselves... these are ugly haha.... although they are almost so ugly that they're kinda cute. My boyfriend isn't TOO embarrassed walking with me.

I ordered the size 35 in regular width and I had to return them for a size 35 narrow. There is a huge difference in the length of the footbed between the regular and narrow shoe. Unless your foot is very wide I would definitely suggest the narrow.

Fabulous !

Love the feel and nerdy look! Based on other reviews, I expected these shoes to be sized larger, but found them to be a little on the small side. Returning for a half size bigger - will be wearing them with warm socks afterall. Zappos service is the best!!!

Love the soft footbed in these, it makes all the difference!

I love birkenstocks. I have an average to slightly wide foot, but prefer to get the narrow widths. They ARE clunky ugly shoes, so being a bit narrower makes them look less so, but they fit perfectly. I also prefer the soft beds, but if I can't get them in my size, the standard bed is fine.

I love Birks and these don't disappoint.

I normally buy regular width in Birkenstock footwear but because the color I wanted wasn't available in regular width, I decided to try the narrow. This is the second time I have done this and I was happy with the fit both times. The narrow fit even better but I just wouldn't wear very thick socks with the narrow. Love Birkenstock footwear!

My orthotist suggested wearing Birkenstocks around the house for arch support. I usually wear or 7 to 7 and 1/2 wide. A 38 regular was too large. 37 is just right for length and generous in width. The arch support is excellent and my knees feel great around the house.

I usually wear a size 6 and ordered the 36(which is 5-5.5 in Birkenstock) ,also the width is regular. These are so comfortable and I’ve gotten tons of compliments too! I wish they had the new colors in the regular width,the narrow is not the same as the regular,it is smaller and much more narrow,I compared the narrow to the regular and they are much smaller. I highly recommend these,I have a torn planter plate and these do not hurt my feet, great arch support too!
