Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

I have these in both mocha and taupe. Very comfortable clogs.

Really don't like looking down at my feet in these shoes. Feel like a clown. Too wide and floppy, and I returned them.

The footbed was soft and very supportive. The upper felt great, if slightly too large. I originally ordered a size smaller but had to order this larger size. Ultimately returned both, in part because they made my feet sweat.

After years of birkenstock sandal bliss, I decided to try a close-toed pair for fall/winter. I went with my usual size for sandals, except I erred on the side of regular width (rather than my usual narrow) to give me a little more room for socks. They fit pretty well, maybe a little tight in the toes, but I think that'll change with time. They're very comfortable, especially for pregnant feet that swell and shrink ALL THE TIME. The only downside is they *are* kinda ugly. Not something you wear unless you put thought into the rest of your outfit. Works for me :)

Shoe was not as soft as I'd anticipated.

I bought the Taupe Suede in a 36 N and it didn't quite fit. Besides not fitting, I didn't like the color. The taupe was lighter than expected and had a weird greenish-yellow cast to it. I decided to order a size down in the same color anyway because I was buying this for comfort and not style. When the 35 M shoes arrived, not only did they fit but the color was the greyish, mushroom brown I was hoping for. Wish they made more styles in 35 M.

These are very comfortable, but there may occasionally be some pain if you have bunions and wear them for a while.

Comfy shoe and I'm sure will get more so as they break in. I wear a 38 in Danskos but took a 37 in this shoe.

Love these shoes! I wear a 9 1/2, I ordered a 40 and they were way too small. Exchanged them for a 41 and they are perfect! Zappos customer service was awesome and very helpful.

Love Birkenstock and love the Boston clogs. This is my second pair. 4 stars for the suede leather because it has a bit of a ragged appearance that slightly detracts from the overall appeal of the shoe. Also the suede requires more upkeep than the oiled leather of my other pair of Bostons. Great arch support, comfort, and shoe. I will buy more Birkenstocks and Bostons in the future.

I ordered the black suede soft footbed. I wear a 9 1/2 so I went with size 40 narrow. Long story short, my heel didn't fit in the heel cup like it should have, so I opted to exchange for a 41. Customer service was great! Got my exchange the next day and I'm a happy camper!! Can't wait to order a pair of sandals and another pair of Bostons!

Loved the color and the look, but not the feel and the fit. The leather of this shoe is very stiff and i have a high instep so it rubbed my foot raw in minutes . Wearing with socks might solve it, but if I have to do that I would rather get the shearling. So re-ordered the suede shearling . SO much more comfy.

For the price of this shoe it should be easier to wear from the begining not so hard on the feet to break in.Soft bed is not all that soft or cushy.

These shoes are great! I was able to tighten them with the buckle to make them fit more snugly. They are comfortable!

I really liked this shoe but it didn't stay put on my foot like the Arizona does--maybe because I could tighten the strap more on the Arizona. Any way, it's going back.

I ordered a 39N and a 40N since I wear a 8.5M or a 9N in most shoes. The 9 was the correct length, but even though the shoe was marked narrow, it was very wide on my forefoot. I cinched it up and buckled it at the narrowest setting, but that caused the snap on the other side of the strap that runs across the top of the foot to dig into the inside of my foot. Too wide, so they're going back. The footbed was quite comfy, but they were a bit clunky looking, as clogs can be, especially if flats.

I wear between a 10.5 and 11, and ordered these in 42 (11-11.5). They are the soft footbed. I ordered the narrow. They felt weirdly short, and my third toe was rubbing the front of the shoe. I couldn't feel much arch support but the front of the shoe felt raised and bumpy. Guess I need to stick to sandals!

I have the soft footbed Grenada and love them. Needed a house shoe for the winter and hoped this would work. Size 39N fit me perfectly but the upper suede was too loose on me making it hard to walk. I'm thinking it's loose due to unisex sizing - what is that about? Wish it came in a Women's size and it'd probably fit. Very well made and comfy - just too loose on the top of my foot. Back they go

Once upon a time, the suede uppers were thicker and would stand up on their own. Now they are thin and floppy, which makes slipping on the Bostons difficult and kind of takes away some of the purpose of clogs.

These are my first pair of Birks and they are pretty comfortable. I bought them to use as slippers or to run a quick errand. The problem I have is they run wide-and I bought narrows (I have narrow feet). If I wear them w/o socks, the shoe makes a suction noise where my arch is. I call it 'foot farts' lol. So I CAN'T wear them out of the house-I don't want people to hear that! But it bums me out because they're pretty comfortable-I wish I could wear them more. I'm hoping maybe they'll break in and the noise will go away. Otherwise these will be awfully expensive slippers. But if you have a wider foot, you'll be happy with these shoes. They provide great support and I love you can just slip them on.

I normally wear a 41 in Euro sizes (yes, I have huge feet). I have numerous pairs of Gizeh sandals that have saved my life with all of my foot problems. I ordered a 41 in the Boston clog. It cramps the toes, and I don't like it. I ordered a 41 in Haflinger clogs and they fit better. I love Birkenstock but I think the next time I order closed-toe, I'll go up to 42. Don't assume that the sandal size will be the same in the clog.

Very comfy. My only complaint is that the "narrow" still leaves a normal to slightly narrow foot swimming in the shoe. Length perfect/tts. With socks, perfect.

The shoe was quite large on my foot. I called and found a very helpful person who told me to get the size smaller and a narrow. She sent the right size and provided me with a postage sticker to send the first shoe back. The replacement fits well and I'm happy.

Comfortable shoe. Did not need a "breaking in" period to feel great. Be aware that this style runs wide. I wear medium width and needed a narrow.

I ordered a wide and found the support at back arch to be uncomfortable with very little padding. It also felt tight in that area; therefore, I am sending them back. I always wear Birkenstock and this is the first time they are uncomfortable!
