Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

Love this shoe! Once you wear it in it’s so comfortable!

Super comfortable but sized down due to my foot not lining up with the foot bed toe impression.

These are typical Birkenstock’s. The fit and finish of their quality is top notch. I’ve worn Birkenstock’s for years.... Great all around shoe

These are the traditional Birkenstocks, with a stiff leather and no padded heel. And they are great. The leather feels very stiff in the beginning but within a week had started to soften and the sole, as always, is great for my bad plantar fascitis.

These shoes will take a few wearings to break in but so worth it! Put them on straight out of the box and wore them around the house. Great color, will go with everything. My arches were very happy.

This is like the 15th pair I have owned over the years. Extreme comfort once broken in after a few days. They last me about 2 years, and I wear them daily around the house.

Fit most excellently, as all Birkenstock sandals/shoes do. These are just as good for my feet as my beloved Gizehs, but keep my toes covered in the colder months. The color is nice also. Recommend for folks who are on their feet a lot.

I broke my toe and wearing a walking boot was starting to hurting my hips after a few weeks because of the uneven gate. I couldn't get a shoe on my foot from swelling so I started looking for a slip on shoe with good support and a wide toe box that would still accommodate socks since it's winter. I first ordered 2 pairs of Haflinger slippers since I heard sizing was a bit weird. Well neither worked. One was too small and one was way too big although only the next size up. I have Birk sandals that I love but can only wear for a few hours at a time because the arch is just a bit too much for my feet. I was a bit hesitant ordering these but I am so happy I did. Although I got my normal sandal size they may be a touch big, even with nice thick wool socks. No bother for me as they are super comfy! More comfortable than my sandals?!? I bought the Habano color and they are a bit different that I was expecting but for me they are perfect. Think classic brown leather color. The leather works better for me than the wool slippers since I live in Washington and haven't gotten my feet wet yet in the rain which is good. I'm super happy I bought these and can see they are probably going to be my new go to shoe even after my foot finishes healing. I ride motorcycles and see these as a good shoe to slip on after my ride on the bike, for walking around.

I feel AWESOME! Love these shoes. I have long worn Arizona sandals, and have 2 pair which, 10 years after purchase, look almost like new. I am thrilled to have a pair of winter Birkenstocks now. This is also my first Zappos purchase, and I couldn't be happier.

I bought these for my husband he loves them! They are the usual Birkenstock great quality and true to size. Zappos is one of the few sights that carry the Oiled Black Leather instead of just the traditional shiny leather.

I love these shoes so much. I don't even care that my family jokes about them. I feel like people either love or hate the look of these shoes. I find them cute and endearing, but more importantly - they are super comfy. The break-in period was rough on my feet, but wearing them with socks helped. Now that they're molded to my feet, they are my favorite shoes!

It seems that you either love girls or you hate them, I am in the former category. Started wearing them 28 years ago on my doctor's recommendation when I gained * a lot* of weight when pregnant & am now happily amused that these dorky shoes are now mightily 'on trend'. Once broken in, Birks are ridiculously comfy and offer just the right amount of support for my high arched feet. The Bostons (and most closed toe Birks - this applies to my Super Birkis as well) tend to feel a bit wider than the Arizonas and I find that sizing down works best for me. I've a medium width foot and wear a 7.5 or 8 in US sizes, typically a 5 in Euro... the 38 Bostons were silly big on me, but the size 37 is perfect.

The soles felt too stiff and hard and hurt - I will not enjoy breaking these in - they will be returned. I will consider trying the soft footbed Birkenstock clogs instead.

I absolutely LOVE Birk’s! The first pair I ever owned I bought when stationed in Germany.... They are just as amazing as I remember. The issue I have is personal.... I’ve had surgery on both feet so I have to go up to an 11 (42) now and it makes a lot of shoes a bit sloppy. I’m just thankful when I can find anything that large! It’s not so bad I can’t wear them, I just know how/where my heal should be sitting. They’re pretty much my daily shoe now!

Bought these as a Xmas gift for my daughter, had her try them on to make sure they fit.... she didn’t want to take them off! We love all our Birkenstock’s- this is a perfect pair for Fall!

If you are a Birkenstock fan, these won't disappoint. Very comfortable, supportive, true to size and width. I wear a women's 10, usually narrow or narrow/medium width, and the Boston is awesome for my feet.

These Birkenstocks or just what we expected! I ordered them for my husband, and he loves them! He has planters facetious and Birkenstock’s really help! Oiled leather is beautiful and rustic looking:)

I really like the combination of the oiled leather and the Tobacco color. Great style for a Birkenstock.

I LOVE BIRKS and I love Zappos!! Great selection on everything!! I now own four pairs of Birks! I am not going to talk about the looks of the toe box on this pair of Birks. I only want to say that you either love them or you don't. I LOVE THESE SHOES!!! I am on my feet all day. I have bunions.The footbed is so comforting to my feet. My feet at the end of the day feel like they have walked on air and they are on caffeine still ready to go some more. I usually wear a 7-7.5 in a shoe. I usually order a 38. But after reading some of the reviews I went with a 37. I am SO glad I did!! They feel great and not tight around my bunions or any other area.I wore them with socks the first day and score!! No tight pinched toes or feet!!! They are such a practical shoe and and they go with just about everything. I got my new pair in less than 24 hours. Ordered them late in the afternoon and by lunch the next day the shoes were at my front door!! Amazing!!! I do not live near Zappos shipping center/ etc either!! GO Zappos and GO Birks! Order here and you are a winner every time!! Thank you so much.

I had a pair or Birkenstock London’s and Arizona’s in a size 37 but got rid of both because they were too small in the toe box for me. I tried a pair of Boston’s though and they fit perfectly. They are very roomy in the toe box and the right length as well. I normally wear a size 7.5.

These are great! The color is great and fit/comfort is awesome like other Birkenstock’s.

Absolutely LOVE these?? Most definitely worth the purchase ??

I bought these due to many reviews saying how they are good for plantar fasciitis. Now I can attest to this. I did not want to buy these. They are just not my style or thing. I ultimately did however to replace my house shoes that hurt my feet terribly due to my plantar fasciitis. I really wish they made them in more styles that I could wear everywhere. Don’t hesitate these really are great for your feet.

Classic Birkenstock. Love the matte quality of the oiled leather. Comfortable suede footbed. Thick great-quality leather that will stretch and break in great. Excellent quality shoe. Made in Germany.

I normally wear a 39 and had to go to a 40 in this show. Toes hit front too much w 39. I really don’t like the look of Birks but they are so he only shoe I can wear w little pain in my heal right now. Wish they had more styles w same support for less than $150
