Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Suede (Unisex)

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!

I have worn this exact same sued shoe and size for many years, and I love it, so when it wore out, I ordered another pair. In the new pair, the leather on top was so soft or thin that it flops down, and I could not slip into the shoes but had to sit down and put them on as if they were tie shoes. That's not what I want to do for casual use. Nor is it the same as in my previous pair. I've returned the new pair, disappointed. I'll try either another leather or another style. Thanks to Zappos, that's easy to do.

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.
