Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

Standard high-quality Birkenstock. Soft suede footbed. Thick shiny black leather. This is my first covered-toe Birkenstock - the shiny black toe is a little large looking. My husband calls them Mickey Mouse shoes. Made in Germany. A classic birkenstock.

Bought for step daughter who needed an inside shoe with strong support: mission accomplished! She is reportedly “floating on air”, feels her whole foot is beautifully supported with this finely crafted sole Birkenstock is famous for!

I'm struggling with a case of plantar fasciitis and read somewhere that Birkenstock Soft Footbed shoes help. Well - it's true. I've been guilty of walking around on my hardwood floors and the podiatrist said that has to stop. So I bought the Boston in Black to use at home and have conditioned myself to wear them when I'm not in bed. They provide such great support that I got yet another pair of Bostons - this time in Green because I want a pair to wear outside and one just for home. Yes, I still have plantar fasciitis, but I'm now wearing shoes to support my recovery. Thanks Birkenstock for a wonderful shoe that didn't require a long break-in period. And thanks Zappos for carrying the Boston is narrow - the only width I can wear.

Great fit! Great shoe Super happy all around and great customer service

I’ve been wearing Birks for years. I bought my first pair in Germany 20 years ago and was hooked. Now I wear Birk sandals in the warm weather and Bostons in the cooler weather. Happy feet!

Your staff service was superb after a style mishap that was nobody’s fault.... got the replacement in 24 hours. I love my shoes and am a Zappos convert, I thank you!

I love these Birks! They are so comfy especially with fizzy socks!!

I put these on and never wanted to take them off again! My mind is working overtime figuring out what occasions I can get away with wearing them. Work, no, but out for brunch?: maybe! (Depending on the venue and hangover level). I got the dark green suede in a narrow. With wool socks they are easily the most comfortable shoes in my closet for kicking around. Farmers’ market, here I come.

i had read the reviews that said they big and ordered a 40 instead of a 41, I didn't order narrow but adjusted the top strap and they fit well.

I love these Birkenstock’s just as much as my others. I get they may not be the cutest mule/clog out there, but you can’t beat how comfortable they are. I normally wear a 40/Narrow, and that is what I ordered in this style, fits perfectly.

Love these!! So comfortable and the color is dark and earthy!! They seem a bit roomy. I usually wear a 6.5 or 7 and bought the 37. They fit nicely!! Highly recommend

This is my second pair of Boston soft footbed Birkenstocks. The first pair I ordered in size 38 based on reviews and guidance on the Birkenstock site (it was my first pair of Birkenstocks and I'm between a US 7 1/2 - 8). They felt very roomy, but as I was unfamiliar w/ how they were supposed to feel, assumed that was right. I am only now figuring it out after 2 years of pretty regular wear, that they were too big and I was not getting the full benefit of the foot/arch support. My second pair, size 37, are perfect - don't seem as awkward in width but still with ample room for my foot to relax and not be constricted while still being supported. As others have mentioned, there is very little to no break-in period w/ soft footbeds. I was very rough on my first pair - I wore them in the rain, got them soaked doing yard work in them, wore them in snow, did city walking - they held up great and the cork didn't get ruined. Recommend!

I listened to what everybody else said ordered narrow, have a medium wide foot and there’s plenty of room in a narrow. Had I ordered medium with I’m sure I would’ve been returning. I also ordered the port color and it’s a little bit more like rust but I’m keeping it.

I ordered my normal size 9 but went with narrow and glad I did because M would have been way to wide. My foot is not narrow but not super wide either so I will probably wear a thin sock in cooler weather. They are comfortable to wear. I bought the port and they are a bit of rust color but I like them.

It took about a week to break them in. I love the support it gives my feet.

Fits like a glove. I have tried every comfort shoe, as someone who works on my feet all day, and nothing beats a Birkenstock. With the soft footbed, there really isn’t even a break in period, which is great. These shoes have ruined me for everything else.

This is my first pair of Boston’s. I’ve been wearing Arizona’s for over 25 years; as a matter of fact I just retired my first pair!( I did have them re-soled once). I’ve wanted to try Boston’s for some time. Why did I wait so long! This is my first pair of Birks with the soft footbed. Very comfy, although I’ve never felt that the regular footbed needed much breaking in. I wear a 35regular in the sandals, however I wanted a little extra room for socks and got the Bostons in 36 regular. Super cute with jeans and leggings!

Love love these. So comfortable out of the box. I got the brown and the black for this tired teacher's feet, sooo cute. Cute with jeans, got many compliments, I'll be wearing them all Fall. They run a little big but like all other birks. I normally wear a size 5 to 51/2 so got a 35 narrow. Perfect.

Very happy with the look and feel of these shoes. I had tried some Birkenstock sandals and returned them as the toe box seemed too angled for my feet. This fit much better and are very comfortable. I also like the style much more than I thought I would. They have a slightly elvin vibe and the blue suede is pretty.

My 5th pair of birk clogs. I'm a nurse and they wear so nicely with my scrubs. I wear them for comfort and my feet thank me for it. As always fast customer service from Zappos! I recommend you often!

Love these! My usual 39 fits well and the “narrow” width fits like a medium (which regular Birk fans know). Soft footbed is nice too.

I love these shoes!! Sooo comfortable!! No break in time necessary for this pair! Amazing!

I usually wear a 40 in Birkenstock, and originally ordered that size. They were a bit large, so I ordered a 30 and they are a perfect fit. Very happy with these; the soft footbed is comfortable and easy to break in. The day after they arrived I wore them all day and had no problems. Highly recommend.

Absolutely love this shoes. Perfect for being on your feet long hours. Soles are so soft and squishy!!!

Really love love them. Comfy right out of box. Barefoot or socks look awesome. My left foot came with a pinky nail sized glue spot. If you read the actual Birkenstock website, they said they do NOT use glue. I guess I'm confused. So I called Zappos and bamb, new shoes sent out right away. I'm sure this pair will be perfect.
