Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

My husband loves these. They have had heavy usage for a year and soles are mostly worn down and pretty trashed. Would love if they were a bit more resilient for the price you pay…but they are amazing for all that.

Took a while to find the right fit. I don’t wear wide width shoes typically but need a Regular width in these.

I am a 7D in dress shoes and other leather sneakers, 8 in NMDs and 8.5 in NB and Nike sneakers. I got these with the intention of using them strictly with thicker merino socks and I ordered a size 7 and 8 narrow, but returned the 7s. With the 7s the fit is perfect sockless and with socks there's like 5mm of overhang over the heel, and with the 8s there's about a centimeter of room between my heel and the edge of the sandal.

Soft footbed means minimal to no break-in period. Picked my size in Arizona, and these fit as perfectly.

The shoe is overall very comfortable ,feels a tad clunky for me at first but the soft footbed is very nice. I think the suede is a bit floppy and that is what makes the shoe not as stable on the foot as it could be,however the 39 fits size 8 perfectly . Nice product and support.

Size 38 is perfect for my 7.5 foot and same trusted comfort I always get from Birkenstock. I took one star off because they arrived looking worn and scuffed, not the shoes fault but whoever had them before me and returned them (is there quality control on returns?). I kept them because I don't have the time to return.

Ilove this German made brand...i am returning as I felt they were a 1/2 size too small...but i will be waiting for the next size up to arrive at Zappos..& I will then be ordering this model again!

This is my first pair of Birkenstocks and they are taking a little getting used to, but in a good way. Comfortable and easy on and off. They aren't the most attractive shoes, but I'm very casual anyway, so they fit right in with my rural lifestyle. Wish I'd tried them years ago.

Too wide for sure

Comfortable. Runs wide. I received this pair with marks on top of both shoes. Disappointed.

I am a Birkinstock fan. This was the first time that I tried the Soft Footbed and I found I much prefer the regular footbed. I am glad I tried them and a huge thank you to Zappos for easy returns and the ability to try something new. I am totally, completely hooked on Zappos.

Love these! Typical size for Birks, but one size smaller than other brands I wear. I have low arches so the soft footbed is so much better than the regular for me. I already wear them all the time!

The acorn leather feels like it’s taking a lot longer to break in than my Havana leather in the same size. It also seems more narrow. But the color is lovely, as is the feel of the leather. After a few weeks of built up wear I think it’s finally starting to break in enough to wear around the house for long periods.

Too box just too big for this 1st time girl. Ordered in narrow & love them.

Good fit, true to size. Comfortable, just like their sandals.

Have terrible feet. Bunions, and hammer toes. These are great for the house and short walks. Comfortable.

I’m normally a 7-7.5 but with these the 6-6.5 fit perfect, so size down!

I'm so glad to have pair of these clogs again!!! It's been maybe 25 years since I've had a pair but they are just as comfortable as when I wore them as a young hippy at Dead shows. These feel a little wider than I remember. I do remember seeing a narrow option when I was ordering, but I wouldn't consider my feet narrow, especially after wearing flip flops so much the past few years. Also I saw these were marked as unisex, so maybe in the past I had ones that were considered women's? Also the leather suede material seems softer, as in floppy, which isn't a problem but I thought I remember that being more shaped to my foot in the past- these are soft so you sort of have to wiggle your foot into them if you want to put them on with no hands. Lastly, I was a little surprise they arrived in a plastic bag rather than a shoe box but it's not like I needed another shoe box to recycle.

I truly like them. They are comfortable and could be used for all sorts of occasions

I had a pair of these 25 years ago and loved them. So glad they offer the narrow width now because my original pair were VERY wide. I ordered the narrow and even in narrow, these shoes run wide (I normally wear a B width fwiw). Super comfortable. Not my favorite Birkenstock style but I love them all the same.

Love Birkenstock’s but a metal rivet covering near the instep came off. The shoes are still fine to wear but I’ve never had any other problems with any other Birkenstock shoe so I wanted to mention it.

Birkenstocks are my favorite shoes to wear when I am going to be on my feet a lot or have a lot of walking to do. They are generally great for both standing and walking, which is not always the case. I do prefer the classic footbed to the soft footbed, and I don't know that I would purchase another pair of Birks with the soft footbed, but like it better after some adjustment period. The suede on these is soft and a slightly greenish-navy.

Comfortable but made my feet look huge.....style really not for me so exchanging them for the Florida, soft footbed sandal

I am not as fond of the soft footbed as I am of the regular...but I do like the clogs, a lot!

Returned because big arch support area unnecessary. Not enough cushion. Somewhat slippery when walk on wood floor.
