Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston - Oiled Leather (Unisex)

These are SO uncomfortable! They hurt my feet every time I wear them, but I got them to have an enclosed toe in the garden, so I only wear them for short trips outside. If I am working longer, I wear different shoes! I really hate these - and I used to love clogs, so I don't know what is wrong with the material they used for the toe box!

These were true to size but so stiff and uncomfortable. Had to return.

Size and fit were WAY off. Loved the style and color and will re-order

Size and fit were fine although maybe just a bit wide. However, the leather looked terrible. Was not nice like the picture

I walked around in my carpeted bedroom & the buckle/strap immediately caused some discomfort . Not a good sign Too bad, I did like the style

Felt at least a half size too small and way too wide, I normally wear an 11 1/2 -12 wide , my toes were hitting the front of these shoes and they were so wide I could not walk without them falling off my feet,even with adjusting the buckle ; returning.

The shoe fits but the color is very light compared to the picture.

Too big..... all over

I've worn size 38 birkenstock in many styles for over 20 years. These are a full size too large.

Wished I ordered a size down

I have flat feet and a bunion and thought Birks would be a good choice. Unfortunately, these shoes actually got less comfortable the more I wore them. I suspect it’s because they form to fit which, for me, meant my feet flattened out the arch support and smoothed out the toe grip. I need a shoe that will push back on these problems not cave into them. Of course, by the time I realized this, I’d work them too much to return them.

I was disappointed this shoe was not available in Narrow. I ordered it any way, found it too wide, had to return it, and wasted my credit award.

Controversial as this may be, I think the hype around birkenstocks is a load of rubbish. They do feel like clouds under my feet, true. BUT since I started wearing them I feel like even barefeet is uncomfortable. They seem to be making my feel weaker with all that excessive arch support. Not only that, but I have never had any any dry or cracked skin or calluses on my feet until I started wearing these, and suddenly I have giant calluses from the toe bars, even though they fit perfectly. They’re clunky and you have to grip with your toes to keep them on. I don’t know in what universe that can be good for your feet.

Uglier than the picture shows and not as comfortable as my Birkenstock sandals, but I thought I would give them a try. I just look down and say so ugly! Returning these.

I bought these Birks in a 37,which is the size I wear in other brands. I was surprised, especially since most buyers say these run big, to find that my toes were jammed up against the front of the shoe. They will be going back. They are too expensive to just make do.

Received wrong size!

buckle broke after a few months and birkenstock will not repair -- referred to local repair shops thumbs down birks

Felt like a Birkenstock should, but there was definitely a quality control issue, either with Birkenstock or Zappos, I don’t know which. Both shoes were scuffed and had damage on the top edge of the footbed. They do not look like a new shoe. Will have to return them and try again.

The box that the shoes came in was torn apart. There are scratches on the shoes. These were definitely a returned item that I got stuck with. I need these shoes for this weekend so I can't return them. Nice

This was my 3rd attempt at getting these in acceptable condition. I never thought I would have to use the term "acceptable" In reference to new footwear I did not grab from the dollar store. Today, I am simply speechless. Sad...I will miss spending entirely too much money on footwear at Zappo's. But, This company is sorely in need of some quality, in their quality control.

Not attractive

Box came completely damaged and shoes were worn and dirty

The Right and Left did not match in color or dimensions. Two different colors of exterior and footbed. Even worse is the leather goes up higher on one. See photo.

The shoe fell apart less than 1 year later. I only use it at home...
