Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Suede (Unisex)

Love my Birkenstock. I'm really rough on shoes and end up buying a new pair about once a year. This is my color of choice this year. Love the support these provide. Bought Birkenstock insoles for my other shoes that have no support. Had developed plantar fasciitis and running shoe specialist recommended Birkenstock. It's been a God send!

Love my new Birkenstocks! Expensive, but worth it. The footbed is so comfortable, & the suede is very forgiving on my hard to fit left foot. Highly recommend them, in any style! But I do wish the suede was offered in black with a black sole; I only saw a white sole which I didn't like.

I could buy Birkenstocks from a lot of different places. The customer service from Zappos is outstanding though. They arrive lightening fast with no problems. One time I made the mistake of not updating my new address. I called Zappos and they send out a new pair of shoes to my new address immediately and didn't charge me for my error!

So cute and excellent arch support, but the suede is very floppy and the tongue folds under around the strap every time you pick your foot up to take a step. Had to send them back -- too bad, they're so cute!

Lots of good things about this sandal, but it does take a few weeks to break it in. Overall, I like it. As for the style, it is what it is. Would like more color and leather selections for this model, though.

I love my Boston Suede (unisex) Birkenstock slides. Ever since I got them I cannot stop wearing them. They are the most comfortably casual footwear that I own. The design, color, size and fit make it more appealing. I was so impressed that I ordered two other styles of Birkenstock and a pair of sneakers. Thanks to Zappos for making them available for hard to fit people. You have won a loyal customer. Great job, guys!

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I can't wait for winter to come so I have more opportunity to wear them. The soft bed is like a pillow top mattress for my feet.

These are great clogs. I have always been a Birkenstock fan, only buying the sandals, however. So I really wanted to get a comfortable clog. Later I might get the shoe version. What I enjoy the most about this shoe is the wide toe box, the arch support and the sort of retro, boho style. I tend to wear a lot of heels, pointed toe shoes that are on-trend, stylish and fashionable, so my feet really appreciate a break from those shoes that constrict your feet. Style can be comfortable. For my weekend look I may wear these with a white T, pencil skirt and a sweater or light jacket, with jeans cuffed or harem pants, chunky sweater or slouchy tee or top. For creative style and comfort, these are the shoes.

Great service and superb product. I have big feet and was glad that I was advised to order slightly longer, which I did and these are just right. I'm in the process of breaking these in (see 4 stars below). What I mean by that is, I have super flat feet and I await the inner sole melding to my foot. This is my 3rd pair of Birks in this style and I've always had to gradually "break them in." (My wife has a good, strong arch and does not have this issue at all with her Birks; they immediately support her higher arch exactly as she desires.) When my inner sole melds into my shape, these will be perfect. I like this color and the suede, for a change.

These shoes are very comfortable. My feet never hurt when I wear them, even when I wear them 12-14 hours. I wear Birkenstock's most of the time, so I was able to wear these shoes right out of the box without any "breaking in" time. I've also gotten caught in the rain wearing them a few times, and they dried without any spots or marks. I would definitely buy them again. They aren't the most attractive shoe. But I chose comfort over style.

Bought these for my mother who has worn Birks for years. She loves them for her bad back. It does take a while for the foot bed to conform to your foot but ultimately they are super comfortable.

Both my sons have been wearing Birkenstock for years. We always bought from the same small shoe store. Were at a loss when we moved 4 months ago and then I discovered Zappos. This company has been a blessing. With VIP, I ordered one morning and my son had his perfect shoes in less than 24 hours. Thanks for remarkable service.

Love these shoes. I got a pair in 2001 and they lasted me until I got them too close to a bonfire last year (that's over 10 years)! The replacement is just as good, and I'm looking forward to the next 10+ years.

I was not so sure on the color but it is wearing on me. I love the high arch support these ones have. They look so German and I feel like a European wearing them and they go with almost any jeans I have. Great quality shoe but very expensive! I would recommend some water resistant spray on them, to keep them more water proof since they are suede. I say go for it! So comfy.

This is my third pair of Boston's and I LOVE them just as much as when I first started wearing them. It had been awhile since I'd worn a new pair, so my feet were sore for a little while during the break-in period, but now that they've started molding to my foot they feel great! Highly recommend these shoes!

I freakin love these slides. My girlfriend thinks they are ugly, but I think they are sexy-ugly. Bought them in blue too. They are super comfortable.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I love them, they are the perfect casual weekend shoe. Did have to buy a half size down, I think because of the European sizing.

Bought these for my 70+ Mom to replace a pair that she has had for decades. She was so happy - an exact replica. The color, narrow size, etc. But she thought they were on the small side. She was set to settle - she could make do. She is far from computer savvy so I gave her Zappos customer service # and told her you guys would take care of everything - and fast. You did. Thanks for treating my Mom with service she hasn't experienced in years.

These are totally worth the money! Super comfortable, durable, and lightweight. The shoe width runs wide so I'd recommend the "narrow" fitting...plus, if they don't fit, you can always return them for a different pair (thanks Zappos!).

These were a gift for my son to replace the pair that he was wearing in high school. He's now 33. Obviously he loves the comfort of these shoes and they are so well made they last forever.

Immediately comfortable, no "breaking-in" required; wide footbed; even though I generally need wide, this is a bit wider than ideal so go with regular unless you really need very wide width.

Loved this shoe; comfortable as all Birkenstocks I've tried so far, and loved the softness of the suede, but it squeaked. I wore it the first afternoon at work and it was fine. That evening at home they started squeaking. Next day, squeaking. I thought maybe I could "walk out" the squeak, but after several days, I returned them for a different pair (same style). That one made the same squeak right out of the box. The squeak was coming from when the suede pulled up as I stepped, not from the footbed at all. I returned those an ordered the Boston in oiled leather. Thicker material. No squeaks.

I love these shoes. Now, I'm not saying they are the most stylish...but I was going for something I could work in all day. Plus, my feet get super hot no matter what I wear, and these allow me to pull my feet out and cool off. Very structured. More than I usually like, but I think it's good for me, as I'm standing all the time for my work.

If you've never worn Birkenstocks, or hung up on "man clogs"...wear these for a day. Constructed for comfort and good foot health. Wear them every day to work. No knee/back/foot pain. Know your size. I wore out my previous pair of these after 16 years - they are still good for weekend "kickers", though.

Have worn Birkenstocks for many years. Love them even more now that they are available in narrow sizes.
