Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

I absolutely love by Birks! After a long day at work, I slip them on at the end of the day and all is good. It will be a sad day indeed if Birkenstock ever discontinues this shoe. I have traveled all over the world, and my Birks are always with me. Look great with shorts, jeans and khakis. Sizing is true and they take a few moths to break in. Best shoe ever!

I usually wear 39 regular. So I ordered 38 wide and narrow. With socks wide felt perfect. Without socks narrow felt perfect. I didn't like Birkenstock hard footbed I had years ago. It made my feet tired quickly. But soft foot bed makes huge difference. I love them. i was surprised leather is so easy to get scratched.

These are the most comfortable things I wear! They have a great foot bed, and the toe grips are perfect. They are great for walking and standing!

Extremely happy with this purchase. I've owned various Birkenstock sandals over the years and this is the first pair of clogs for me. These are super comfortable and high quality. And the best part was I could wear them all day, right out of the box with no "break in" time needed. Sizing is accurate. I have a narrow foot and these fit well.

I have a chronically sore right foot. As such, I always have to wear shoes. Even inside. I have tried a multitude of "house shoes" and Birks are my go to. They may not always be the cutest, but they sure do feel good. I normally wear a 9.5 or 10 and have a narrow foot. I bought these in a 40 narrow and they fit perfectly. The great thing about Birks is they get better with time and wear.

I have wide feet and these fit well. They run big. I normally wear a 7W but had to go with their size 37 to get the right fit.

I have always been a fan of Birkenstocks from years ago, but had stopped wearing them over the years for various reasons. However, I recently had some issues with my arches and decided to try them again. It reminded me of how comfortable and supportive these are. While they are not my main shoe for my power walks, I put them on afterwards and at all other times, to allow my feet to recover from exercise. I now have 3 different colors. Some may not think they are the most fashionable statement in the world, but they miss the point. Birki's are their own fashion statement in and of themselves! I will be looking at the sandals in the Spring/Summer.

Love Zappos quick service! Shoe looks better than the picture, although I only gave the style a 4 because it has that somewhat orthopedic look (but who cares if your feet feel good?), and the suede feels great. I wear a 5.5-6 American size, but need a 35 normal in Birkenstock Gizeh. 35 regular was really wide in both the regular cork footbed and this great new soft footbed. the 35 narrow fits perfectly, right length and not too tight. So unless you have really wide feet or wear super thick socks, order the narrow. Took 3 pair for me to find a great fit, but thanks to Zappos I have a wonderful new pair of shoes. It's worth the extra expense for the soft footbed, and thanks to Zappos selection and returns you can get the right fit. I look forward to wearing these now that it's really too cold for my regular Gizeh and most other brands make my feet hurt after a few hours.

Love these. I've had Birkenstock sandals in the past, but never the clogs. I ordered both the regular and soft foot-beds to try, since I've never owned the soft footbed. Nice! Birkenstock comfort with a little more coverage for winter here in the south.

I have been wearing Birks for 10 years now and have always bought them at a local store in San Luis Obispo. But they never wanted to do anything extra for me and when I had an issue with a pair they were not very accommodating. I finally decided to shop elsewhere and looked up what I wanted on Zappos. I ordered my shoes and then when I had a problem with them I called them and they were so very helpful. I will never buy from the local store again! And I especially liked the joke of the day! Thanks, Zappos!

The most comfortable Birks yet! The soft footbed is fantastic! Zappos is the best on-line site to order from--bar none. I have ordered things and sent them back with no problem...and their response time is fantastic--ordered shoes on Monday; they arrived on Thursday!

We purchased these shoes for my husband, who is very particular about shoes, mind you. He has only been wearing Blundstones for the last two years. He LOVES these shoes! They are comfortable and nice looking and just easy to slip on and go, which he really likes. They did run a bit small, so we had to return the first pair. Awesome shoe, and as usual, awesome service, Zappos! We love you!

When I received my order and put on these shoes my posture changed and there seemed to be less stress on my hips, left impacted and the right arthritic. Now after 2 months there is clearly less stress on my hips and arthritic toes. I highly recommend these shoes. I just ordered the Dundee boots and I hope they work as well.

I really have to say that I can't believe I waited so long to order these shoes...I kept putting it off because they are a bit expensive for me, but I stand all day at work so finally decided to try them. I just got them yesterday, and I haven't wanted to take them off. I realize that some women might question the style, but if you have achy feet or (like me) problems with plantar fasciitis, you really want these! Also, Zappos has the best service ever, and I received them in no time at all! I'm in love with this company!

My son is a professional chef and has worn the Birkenstock Boston with the cork footbed for years. I bought him a pair of the soft footbed and he loves them. I had to size up, I don't know if that's because of the soft footbed. My son will be wearing the soft footbed from now on.

My orthopedist recommended these after breaking both of my feet. I wore a cast boot x 3 months and once healed I progressed to these by doctor's recommendation. I tried a pair with the hard inner sole first and they hurt. These soft ones were much better. I placed an orthotic inside which makes them even softer. The suede is soft and comfortable on my bunions.

Love these shoes. Received them on Tuesday...wore them in the house a couple days (in case I wanted to return them). Left on Saturday for 14 days overseas. Put them on & never took them off...walked a lot! Over hills, cobblestones, bricks, & uneven sidewalks & roadways. No sore tired feet at night.

These are very comfy out of the box! I am sure they will only become more comfortable after they are worn a few times! I normally wear a 7.5 I ordered sz 38 narrow and they fit perfectly!

So very comfortable and I can wear them with anything, shorts, dresses, jeans, dress pants or just around the house. I have problems with my feet hurting all the time and these are great.

These shoes solved my plantar fasciitis problem and allowed my feet to heal. I normally wear a size 7.5 to 8 and ordered these in a 38 based on other reviews -- perfect fit. As others have said, give them a week or so for the footbed to break in. The suede has remained soft but not too soft, meaning the shoes keep their shape when you're not wearing them. Better than the Clarks, Eccos and Keen shoes -- I've tried many kinds of supposedly supportive shoes but they left my feet aching. I wear these shoes like slippers, around the house, and got Birkenstock Maines as work shoes.

I bought these for my husband. He loves to wear them to the office. That way he can kick his shoes off under his desk without anyone knowing. He says they are as comfortable as his Birkenstock sandals.

Excellent deal and it arrived the next day. Very happy with the product and they are very comfortable. Also, I wear a mens 9 in regular shoes and had to go with a mens 8 (41 UK), same with the sandals.

I bought a pair of these in 1990 and they fell apart this year (23 years!). I immediately ordered another pair from Zappos and had them the next day. Can't do without them!
