Less than I expected- I have several pairs of Birkenstock sandals that I absolutely love and expected to feel the same about the Boston but no such luck. The narrow is very wide and it fits at least 1/2 size larger, if not a whole size larger than my sandals. I will stick to just buying Birkenstock sandals in the future!

Birkenstock sandals are great!

Birkenstock sizing inconsistent - I bought these Birkenstocks for my daughter. The first pair we received fit just right, but one of the buckles popped off the first week she wore them to school. We sent them back to Zappos and they sent us an identical pair. The buckles are fine, but this shoe fits slightly larger, even though it is marked the same size as the previous shoe!

LL Bean was kind in finding the right size and style. I can wear with/without socks and love them. They are just what my feet need.

Great everyday shoe. My daughter loves them. She got the mens size 5. She usually wears a woman's 6. The men's fit great on her bc they are a little wider than the woman's version.

The closed toe Boston style is warmer in winter. (Snow is rare where I live.)

You basically can't go wrong with Birkenstocks, but every time I slide these on I am reminded of how comfortable good shoes can be. Perfect fit and the soft footbed is amazing! Not actually "soft" but definitely more give in the sole than traditional Birkenstocks. Love these shoes!

Best ever shoe- I buy a 38 narrow/medium- most comfortable shoes ever- wear with socks or without. I live in Florida so they're great any time of the year. Worn birks for years.

The most comfortable Birkie if you have joint problems. No seams, buckles, and soft suede. I bought a soft rose flannel type shirt from LLBean in the same soft rose color that matched perfectly.

I love my new Bostons in size 35 narrow! They fit just like my favorite Mayari sandals in size 35. I’m glad that I was able to try them on beforehand because the regular/wide width would’ve been too big. The store couldn’t order the size I needed, so thankfully I wound them here!

Size down! I originally bought these in a 42R, the size of all of my birk sandals, and they felt like clown shoes. If I tried I could probably kick the clog all the way across the room. So I called customer service and they were really helpful and helped me weigh my option. I dedcided to go down to a 41R and they fit like a glove!!! I wear a women’s 11 sometimes a 12 but ordering the 41 (10-10.5) was the best fit here. They’re a bit wider than and sandals but I really like that for my wide-ish foot. The mocha color is more gray green than brown IMO but I’m not too mad about that.

These are very comfortable shoes! There was no break in time. I have arthritis in my right foot and Birkenstocks give great support. They are wide enough to allow me to wear with socks in cool weather. I plan to wear them around the house and out for short shopping trips.

For years I've lived in my Arizona Birkenstocks. Last year I added a pair of Mayari sandals. But winter is coming, and I now live in the part of the country that frowns on socks and sandals! So I bought these Bostons, and I love them. I have plantar fasciitis and very high arches, and most shoes do not work well for me. In fact, I've had other Birks that weren't very comfortable. But these three styles are the best I've found - and to make things even better, they are available in a narrow width.

I have a number of Birkenstock sandals, and normally take a size 37 regular, so I originally ordered these in the same size. They are much wider than the sandals, it seems, and even with super thick wool socks, they are still quite roomy for me. I had to send these back and order them in the narrow width, which is perfect. I haven't worn these out of the house yet, but I expect I'll love them just as much as my sandals.

I wear a women's size 10 running shoe and the 41 fits well with regular socks. I wear medium width, and they feel pretty loose, so they can probably accommodate a wide foot. I know people who wear Birkenstock put comfort above style, I myself am a big fan. So as long as everyone is ok with "bad grandpa" shoes, which I could care less, then these are awesome.
