Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

I bought these as my pregnancy third trimester go-to shoes when I could no longer easily reach my feet to tie my tennis shoes. Best decision ever! Not only do I love that I can easily slip them on and off, but my feet love the additional support through the arch right now that I typically wouldn't care too much about. So comfortable! I have a pair of Birkenstock sandals that are a narrow width; I love them as well and they fit like a glove. However, for this pair, knowing that I would wear them during winter with thick socks and swollen pregnant feet, the regular width in the same size feels perfect! I typically wear a size 7 1/2 or 8 and have these in a 39. This type of leather also seems like it will hold up well against the elements in the winter and clean up easily, versus the softer leather options. I highly recommend these to anyone, especially pregnant women!

A great, relaxed shoe, but definitely runs large.

The soft footbed is awesome, now I can wear my Boston's all day. I wish they had the soft footbeds years ago, truly comfortable.

I purchased these in the mocha suede size 41 narrow. I wear a size 11 and don't typically buy narrow but these fit perfectly. I've wanted these for a while and find the soft footbed so comfortable! The narrow really stays on my foot and they looked very cute with ripped jeans slightly cuffed-

loved the looks but since I wear a lg size it comes in mens so it was way to big.

Great product; takes a while to get them broke in, but very worth the effort. Best of service from Zappos!

Got the Habana oil leather soft bed in 35N My regular shoe size is 6M 35 N is perfect unless I would wear a thick sock (but I don't, being in Southern California). Got a pair of Arizona and liked it. Would like a close-toe pair, too Boston it is.

This is a Birkenstock Classic, but my feet are not. As I have gotten older, my feet need softer foot beds and more forgiving uppers. I will not be able to wear these long enough to soften them up. No fault of Zappo's or the maker and I'm really sorry they did not work out.

Ordering went without a hitch. Everything went well with no problems, from the ordering to the delivery. I have been wearing Birks and only Birks for about 50 years.

I have been a Zappos wearer for about 15 years. They are the best shoes I ever had. I have a hammer toe that can not be operated on and these shoes help to resolve my problem. I can always find a style to suit the occasion no matter what the season is.

It is the most comfortable shoes! Have been wearing them everyday since I got them. Great arch support. The soft footbed is really comfortable. It really helps with my back and knee problems.

Bought these as nice, supportive house shoes for my husband, who now works from home full time. He's finding them very comfortable and sturdy - much better than the flimsy slippers he was previously wearing! He did have to go up a size. He's a US size 11, and went with a 45.

When you choose your Birkenstock shoes, definitely get the soft footbed. The soft footbed is extremely comfortable. About size: I was fit for Birkentocks in Germany and even though I am a size 10, they measured me as a 45 with the soft footbed. You will see that the chart says this is 12 to 12.5, but my experience shows it to be equivalent to a men's size 10.

I love Birkenstock that is NO question. These are perfect with Khakis & what I need them for. I had a soft bed sandal that I just wasn't fond of & donated them. The softbed in the shoe or the slide such as the Boston is just PERFECT in my opinion...LOVE THESE!

Love these! I try not to wear anything else! It takes a few days to break them in just have patience. They will seem tight etc. but you will be rewarded in a day or two!

I had to size down one length. I wasn't sure I was going to keep them, as the style is very different from anything I've owned and they're kind of expensive for a shoe to schlep around the house, but wearing them while standing and doing dishes the other night, I noticed how comfortable they felt, like wow, I'm not sure I've ever had a show this comfortable. So, I kept them.

I purchased these to wear as house shoes because I keep wearing holes in the felted wool slippers I usually buy. For obvious reasons, I need to wear socks for warmth, but these are the expected quality of Birkenstocks. The sole is actually a bit cushioned which makes them extra comfortable, I love the color, and I think these might last my lifetime! I have fairly narrow feet and the narrow is just fine with or without socks.

I have worn Birkenstocks for years and always wear the same size (40 N). This is my first pair with the soft foot bed and they were too short. Returned them for a 41 N. Although I have not worn them much yet they seem comfortable.

I absolutely love these shoes! I wear my Florida Birkenstocks all summer long and have been yearning for something similar for winter. Although not appropriate for snow, I love these shoes and have not worn another pair since I received them two weeks ago. They have the same great arch support as my Birkenstock sandals. The regular width is wide, but I normally order a wide and the regular fits good, maybe slightly more wide. I wish Brikenstock made dressier shoed for work, but I see myself living in these at home and for most other activities.

I love these shoes! I walk 10-15 miles per day, and found these comfy from day 1! I love the soft footbed. I have also gotten a ton of compliments on the style. They are cute with yoga pants or jeans and with or without socks. I am an US woman's 8, but always wear a 38 normal width in Birkenstock and this was no exception, perfect fit. Love these and would recommend to anyone.

These shoes are fantastic. Not the prettiest shoes I've ever owned but man are they comfortable. Might be why I own six different pairs.

I absolutely love these shoes. They just feel so sturdy and supportive. It is winter here, but with thick socks I find them warm and perfectly supportive for all my comings and goings as a mom of four. I wanted beige/taupe shoes that I could wear with black, grey, or brown. The color I bought looks excellent with everything! I worried that they would look too bulky, but even though I bought regular width, the adjustable little strap in front allows me to custom fit them. I cannot tell you how comfortable they are!

I love these shoes! I got them in Taupe Suede and the color is a little more cool-toned than the picture. I have another pair of Birkenstock sandals and I love this pair just as much! I will say that they seem to run a bit large and wide, although it's nothing unbearable. I experienced this with my other pair of Birks too so I don't think it is these shoes in particular. Something that helps that is tightening the straps. They fit better and they look smaller on your feet (in my opinion)! When I sprayed them with suede spray, they got a bit darker in color. They molded to my feet very quickly and are very comfortable. The break-in period was short and not very uncomfortable at all. They feel and look nice with and without socks, so they are perfect for all seasons. Sometimes I think about how crazy the price of these shoes is, but the quality is excellent so I suppose it's worth it. Overall, I am very happy with these shoes!

As described. High quality. Fit well. I'm assuming that they'll last a long time. My wife has had a pair since the 90's. I use them to wear around the house.
