Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

Yikes, these are HUGE!! I even ordered a full size down & they were waaay too long/wide. And, not the Birkies I remember from about 15 years ago when I last wore them. These are so stiff & hard, even this "softbed" style. Feels like walking on a piece of wood. But, gotta say, the whole footbed shape felt good under the heel/arch/toes. My old Bs were flexible when new, which is why I could wear them. Not anymore I guess.

Too floppy so I can't slip them on without bending down

I have a pair of the Boston clog from a decade ago. It was time to buy a new pair. They changed the footbead so now it's a "comfort" foot bed, which was in fact, comfortable. I cannot attest to how the cork bottom will feel after break-in because they are going back. I normally wear a women's 7 1/2 shoe & ordered a 37 (a size smaller) 10 years ago, which fit perfectly. These however, must be more true to size as the 37 is too short. Also, the suede is funky on both tops of the shoes, shiney and matted down. Im looking for a cork footbed clog & have tried Haflinger & Stegman's but both are too big surrounding the top of my foot.

Fit and Size were great. Button to secure strap broke off after 5 minutes of wearing.

I had a pair of Boston’s for many years and loved them, even having them retreaded several times. Then my foot changed and I couldn’t handle the hard sole. I thought the softer surface in these would make it possible to wear them again. Not so. I miss my birkie days.

While the description shows a size range 10-10.5, the actual box when received shows 10. I'm a true 10.5 and the 41 (Eur) was too small. Did not fit with or without socks. Same with my husband's pair. Will need to return for a larger size. The width was good and the style cute.

The size of these are way off. I ordered a 39, knowing that was my size because I have a pair of Gizehs but these are a whole size off. When I hold them up sole to sole with the Sandels there’s nearly an inch difference. I threw away my box before wearing these because I was certain of my sizing so now I can’t return. But I plan on contacting Birks to see what the deal is.

Didn’t help my plantar fasciitis, I had high hopes. It’s only been a week maybe they need a break in period. But after being on my feet for 10 hours as a nurse, my feet were in so much pain.

I really wanted to love these. I kept trying to... but the soft footbed isn't as comfortable for me as the original. I don't know what it is, maybe the support is lacking from what I am used to. I'm very sad to return them.

I wanted to like these. I tried them in the house a few separate times, but ultimately, these had to be returned. Too stiff for me, the bottom kept slipping on wood surface, and width was uncomfortable near my big toes.

The style is exactly what i thought, unfortunately after tightening the buckle, the tightness still felt more loose than i wanted.

Too shiny leather

runs 1/2 size short. too bulky for my thin foot, and the toe bar is minimal so that the shoe actually feels too flat

the footbed fit perfectamundo... the strap could not be cinched down enough; way too much flippy-floppiness.

I love the new color - a rich, dark navy, but this Boston clog was extremely lose around the foot. Even with sock on, I felt like I had to struggle to keep the clog on my foot. Even with the buckle on it’s smallest notch, I couldn’t walk comfortably knowing the shoe would stay on. Unfortunately they had to be returned.

They call these "SOFT"???? The footbed of this shoe is as hard as a rock. As soon as I stood up with them on, I sat down and took them off. I sent them back for a refund today.

I am a true birkenstock lover of sandals with half a dozen pairs and I really wanted to love this slip ons for the winter, but just didn't. They didn't look good on me, and the feel was off.

I LOVE these shoes! I had them years ago and loved them, so I knew these would be nice. My only disappointment is that again; they came with a smudge on the suede. Both shoes were marred on the top. I decided to keep them because I can't wait for yet another pair, (I already requested a replacement), and will keep them. I am disappointed with the appearance, but in time, maybe it will not show, however, I would recommend the leather to the dark suede. Aside from the marring on the top, the quality and comfort of the soft bed is the best.

I'm somewhere between 9.5-10. I ordered the W10 narrow in this shoe - waaaayyyy too big, and so narrow. They are being returned for the W9 regular.

Found the footbed of these to be pretty comfortable--love the soft version. However, the Brown Amalfi Leather was the only one in stock in my size and it was ugly as well as stiff and uncomfortable. I think I would like it much better in one of the less stiff, softer versions.

Very wide for my foot even when I tighten the strap.

I just didn’t like the shiny leather. Because of the wide nature of Birkenstock clogs they looked a bit like clown shoes to me personally. However great quality still and materials.

Ran smaller than expected, Wonderful shoe, and great handling by Zappo

I wanted to like theses shoes. They were too big and too bulky. Had to return them.

Material was soft, resulting in it collapsing onto sole,making it difficult to just “slip on”. It was wide enough and long enough, so that it fit comfortably. However, footbed was not as soft as I expected, and bump in arch made it very uncomfortable to walk in. I returned shoe and instead purchased an Aravon slip-on which is far more comfortable for me.
