Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Suede (Unisex)

Perfect! These shoes were exactly as I expected and of course the service from Zappos was superb. I couldn't have asked for an easier transaction or a better shoe!

Help for aging feet - I have arthritis in my feet and have trouble with a heel spur. Birks are the answer to my troubles--I can walk in them and my feet don't hurt as much. I like my new Boston clogs because they help keep my feet warm. Casual or dressy (well, as dressy as Birks can get!) they look fine. I order the next smaller size than my regular shoe size in Birks.

Been wearing these for many years. I wear a 38N although I wear an 8 1/2 shoe. This is due to the way they fit my feet. The only time I went larger was for the London which is completely enclosed. This shoe along with the Arizona sandal also with the original footbed are my standbys for winter and summer. A narrow equates with a B. Also, prefer suede as it is softer.

Birkenstocks are great! Great shoe! Looks cute, feels great!

Great for anatomical reasons! These Birks are amazing if you have any orthopedic health condition having to do with your stance. I was in a car wreck and fractured my hip. As soon as I put these on I could feel the pressure melt away! I can't wait until they are broken in so I can enjoy them to the max. The only thing is they are 2 sizes larger than marked. I'm normally a 10 - 10.5 shoe size which is listed as 43 with Birkenstocks. However, I wear a 41 in Birks, which they list as 8 - 8.5. If you're a guy then I would go for regular instead of narrow unless you have really narrow feet. When I look at my feet I see narrow, but when I tried narrow Birks they were too constricting. Thanks Zappos for your awesome service; I had them in 24 hours.

A Summer Relaxer - These are a wonderful pair of slip-on shoes for those relaxed summer days.

Boston - This was gift for my granddaughter. Her first Birkenstocks. Although I sell them, the size was not available there and it came faster from you. She loves it and has worn it daily. It fits well, she has a wide foot and a little pronation, too, so it works well for her. Birkenstocks are great if you have a correct fit and size. Availability is important and no one does it better then Zappos.

Great shoes - These are the best shoes I have ever owned. I have/had 4 pairs of the real ones. My feet have grown so got different sizes. Started with taupe and brown but then bought a black pair. Now I have a new brown pair. I would recommend sizing down at least a half size, maybe even a whole size. They run big. I also have bought a few pairs of the fake ones...they're good but nothing compares to the real ones! Great shoe, and guys and girls wear them in my school all the time in the fall/spring/winter.

Taupe Birkenstocks - My first pair and already I want the pink :-) It’s a very comfortable shoe and really cute with a tank top and jeans. I bought the taupe pair which is a really soft, neutral and slightly grayed out tan. Works with everything! I sized down a full size. I am a true 7 and I bought a woman’s 6 narrow. They fit perfectly. Very comfy shoe, a little rough on the soles at first but then....bliss. Will definitely buy other colors. Also, I don't think they look like duck feet. Under jeans they just look like a cute suede clog :-)

Birkenstocks - I heard many rants and raves about Birkenstocks for years, so about a year ago I broke down and bought a pair. Well it turns out that I am glad I did. Everything you hear about these shoes is 100% true. I wore these through out the fall, winter, and spring and now it is summer and I still slip them on. If you want comfortable shoes that will last a long time then order these. You can wear them almost with anything you have in your wardrobe. Definitely shop around on price then call Zappos, they will meet and beat the lowest price you find.

The best shoe - EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!! These have been the best shoes I've probably ever owned! It's very rare that you find a hip, stylish, cute shoe that is actually COMFORTABLE!!!!!!!! There is nothing bad about it (except your feet smell bad when you take them off). I highly recommend this shoe!!

Great Buys - I absolutely love these shoes. They are great for a person who is on their feet all day. It has great arch support. I bought the Taupe Suede, and it goes with everything. I hope to have these for a long time.

Boston Clogs - Shoe Maven review #1 - Let me preface my statements by saying my entire life has been plagued with shoe woes. I have a size 10.5 x-wide with a high arch. Then in '02 I developed Plantar Fasciitis (Ripping of the tendons that run under the foot) so now I had to find shoes that had either arch support built in or the ability to put in a custom orthodic. So after years of resisting, I bought a few pairs of Birkis, a sister shoe of the Birkenstock Line. The size that I chose was 42R. The width was excellent. And the length was great. I had room up front, and my toes gripped the toe bar. I then purchased a pair of Gizeh Birkenstock thongs. Again 42R - great sizing, width, and unparallel comfort. Cold weather coming on, I live in NYC so I purchased a pair of the Boston Clogs in Olive green suede. I was shocked at how beautiful the color was, better than pictured, BUT the size was off. I don’t know if the Clog runs big, but Id wager it was an entire size too big. If you have worn Birks before, you know your heel falls straight into the cup squarely. If it doesn’t your arch will bump into the arch support and hurt badly. I wore them indoors for almost 2 weeks with thick socks, and still I could not keep them. I checked the sizing on the Birks and the 42R is equivalent to an 11 - 11.5. Id size down if you are in between sizes. And if by some chance they don’t fit, Zappos exceptionally CS and free shipping both ways will take the sting out of having to send a pair back. SM

So Happy - Some of my friends still insist on giving me grief for wearing these shoes (weeds and seeds, dorky,etc.) but I'm here to tell you that these shoes rock. They are THE most comfortable shoes in my closet. I have 5 pairs altogether. I never thought I'd own a pair of Birks because I too was one of those who laughed at anyone who wore them. Now I'm a convert. Who knew?

The Comfort Classic Still Holds Up! May not win any beauty pageants, but may save you a fortune in podiatrist's bills! Supreme arch support, dang sight easier on the pocket book than other orthopedic shoes and a pleasure to wear. People have asked me if they are like Dr. Scholl's and the answer is no. Those had wood soles and came up between the toes. I notice they are bringing back the 60's in fashion with Platform shoes and floral designs - here is the real winning rose of that era. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone with foot problems OR anyone hoping to AVOID them in the future. The strap on this mule helps if you have a narrower foot, as these run roomy. If you've never tried a pair, it WILL be an experience UNLIKE any other. The cork foot bed will contour to your foot over time (something like the new rage of "memory" foam). As always, Zappos has a great selection to choose from in this brand and hard to beat service! I ordered 2 pairs, and prefer the "soft beds" (my first pair of these) for days when I'm really on the run. I don't recommend these shoes for ease of use when driving a car, but they are easy enough to just pull on and off.

Wonderful - They look great, take a while to fit, all the rage, very in style, gotta love Birkenstock!

The best Birkenstock! The Birkenstock Boston Narrow is perfect! I have a pair in leather, and the suede is much more comfortable; no break in time! After wearing 'cute' shoes all day at work, these are my shoe of choice other than UGGS as soon as I get home. I plan to buy more of this clog.

All was good with transaction - I was already familiar with Birkenstock sizing.

Amazing shoes! Birkenstocks (Boston) are the most comfy shoes ever! They take a little while to break in because at first they're hard but after about a week they are so soft! They may not be the most attractive shoes but no one else will have shoes as comfy as these. I've only had mine for 4 days and I love them! Zappos delivers so fast, I got mine in two days. ENJOY!

Birkenstock - These are my first pair of Birkenstocks and love that these shoes are very comfortable after about a week of constant wear. They came in 2 business days which was wonderful. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. Be careful with sizing though, I ordered a size smaller than recommended and they fit me well.

Really comfortable - They are really comfortable, in style and receive a lot of complements from people. They fit you just right and you could wear them with anything. You could go for a walk, go to the park, go to school, go to work, go to church or go anywhere, they are just so comfortable!

Boston Clog= Amazing- I’m a guy and I don’t have overly wide feet, so I ordered the narrow and it’s the perfect fit. It took about a week for them to break in and now it’s like walkin on air.

Love 'em - I love Birkenstocks. I own 2 pairs of sandals and 3 pairs of shoes besides these clogs. I never considered myself the granola-eating, Birkenstock kind of person but these shoes are great! The footbed can actually be rebuilt, so you almost never have to buy a new pair. You've got to try them!

Where I'm from, these shoes are a staple, except most people have the fakes inspired by these shoes. They look especially good with jeans but they'll match anything you put them with. They're also good year-round shoes because you can wear them with thicker socks in winter or bare feet in summer. I recommend these shoes to anybody who does lots of walking.

AWESOME! My goodness! These shoes are great! I love them to death. I wear these EVERY single day to school, every woman in my immediate family has a pair of these shoes. They're absolutley fabulous!
