Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed - Suede (Unisex)

I have a very narrow foot and these hurt immediately when putting them on I got narrow because I donahbe a narrow foot but my arch was pinched Very uncomfortable and couldn’t get them off fast enough I prefer the Spenco shoes which have been wonderful with a lovely arch support

First time ordering a Birkenstock...very big and bulky. I may need to try a smaller size, however, the shoe looks awkward.

I do not like the style or the leather color. They’re going back!

Loved this style but my 39 regular was way too full/wide in the toes and way too narrow from the arch to heel. Sadly, they went back.

I so wanted these navy blue suede, historic and sexy while utilitarian (beauty is in the eyes of the befooted) Birkenstocks to be my Fall answer to...well...everything. While I love the style, the pesky side panels under the strap and buckle curled, and would not stay flat as I walked. Perhaps the leather versions or a thicker or sturdier suede could prevent that? I am a lifelong Birkenstock wearer and this little blip in my fit preferences will not change that.

Too wide... returned

Buy the regular Birkenstock footbed. These are too plush and far less supportive.

I thought for sure these would be a slam dunk. I had a pair years ago that I wore the soles right off of. Maybe it's the soft foot bed but these hurt my feet so bad I couldn't wear them. Wore them around the house to try them out and after a bit my feet hurt and I had to take them off. Tried again the next day and just putting my foot in them made my heels instantly hurt. Sadly had to return.

I've tried a couple of Birkenstock and I really don't get what others are saying about comfort. Even the "soft" footbed is pretty hard. The way people talk you'd think you were going to sink your foot into the shoe equivalent of a Tempurpedic. In the "Boston," the suede strap (that loops through the tongue) rubs against the top of my foot. The suede feels hard from inside. I'm guessing either you have to have coarse hard skin on your feet, or not have worn extremely comfortable shoes, to love these. I couldn't imagine even walking down the shops in them. However I do love the velvet grey color and the style is surprisingly cute, so I was bummed to return them.

Too stiff, the surface of the shoes is pretty rough. Did not look as good as the pictures shown on Zappos website. Not comfortable at all. The shipment was poorly packaged. The shoe box was smashed and broken. Very disappointed with the order.

I have been wearing Birkenstock clogs for years and the new ones are just not the same. The leather is too hard and stiff and shiny. Will just keeping wearing my old comfortable ones until things change.

Not my favorite pair of Birk's. The squeaked badly for the first month of wear. I tried wax, Vaseline and some other stuff before the finally stopped and it was mildly comical. Size, well I have many pairs and always take a size 40 and never had a problem! Next, the cork foot bed quality seems to have diminished. They are made in China and not sure if this has any bearing on this. I am a bit disappointed with the durability of the show. I have had it less than a year, the sole is hardly worn, but the heels, the cork is cracking. I own many pairs of Birks and this type of wear is usually much later than now. overall, Birks are great shoes and once broken in exceptionally comfortable. I will buy more pairs of Birks, but will have to watch the quality and wear and they aren't cheap!

The side part of this clog roll down and it is very uncomfortable probably because is suede, leather will be stiffer and stay in place not the case with suede

I ordered this before a trip and was told it would be here by a specific date. Product arrived 4 days later.

Overall not comfortable as Birkenstock usually feels

I was very disappointed as it appears that the shoes were used. The sides of both shoes are scuffed as are the toes on both of the shoes. All original tags and box were left as they were delivered. I have been successful with ordering before, but this time I was very dissatisfied. Please advise as to how I should return and I definitely am requesting a full refund.

They sent the wrong color. I ordered the taupe one and they sent some kind of grayish blue. Not the best service

Terrible the toe is hard and pushes on my toes! Terrible!!!

Spots on clog

Fake shoes arrived. Not Birkenstock and wrong color.
