Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Shearling - Suede (Unisex)

On my second pair of these. I wear them around the house all the time even in summer because I have pretty bad plantar faciatis. These are the best and cozy too! The fur makes them even better on my arches I'm not sure why, but they are better in my feet than my regular birks. Worth the money I guess....

These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned and I love the way they keep my feet warm and cozy AND have great support. That said, the shearling just doesn’t last long enough. It would be great if these were made with replaceable insoles instead of having to buy new shoes every time the shearling wears out. The shoe at stuff is still in great shape. I would say the shearling lasts about one season of wearing the shoes. It’s just unacceptable for the price.

I love the Birk clog, and the shearling adds extra warmth and cushion. I ordered the next size up from my Birkenstock sandals because of the closed toe and shearling, and they fit perfectly (in sandals I am a perfect 39 narrow with no excess toe/heel room, in the clog I am a 40 narrow). I am upset about the state the shoes arrived in. This pair, and the first pair I ordered in a 39 that I am returning, have smudges on the top of the toe area. The bottom does not look work, just the suede on the top of the clog is smudged. Also, the 2nd shipment of the Birkenstock size 40 came without it's box, just in a plastic bag- what's up with that? This is an expensive shoe, and it's not like Zappos to send an inferior product without the box. I love the shoes and don't want to give them up, but may return for a pair with a box that doesn't look worn on top :(

Horrible! The dye from the black shearling wears off on your foot. The white doesn’t do that. Makes my feet look incredibly dirty and like a dead persons.

I own 8 pairs of Mayari, Gala, and Arizona’s, so I’m a bit of a Birks freak. I have been eyeing these for a long time and decided to try. I normally wear a 39 (8.5) and have a wide foot, so I sized up to a 40 since they are narrow and have the shearling. I am so glad I did. They are cozy, but hug my foot and my heel is not hanging off the end. I know they will stretch with time, so I prefer them to fit on the more snug side. The gray color is fabulous and will go with everything. I was worried about them looking clunky, but they are so cute with jeans or capris. I’m a teacher and will wear these a lot. I think I need another pair... i also sprayed them with leather water repellent since winter is coming. If you are on the fence, give them a try. Zappos return policy is dynamite.

I absolutely love my Birkenstock Bostons, but was looking for a warmer option for fall and winter. The Boston Shearlings did not disappoint! They are warm enough to wear outside, but not so hot that they make my feet sweat when worn inside. They are perfect for fall and winter! Even with the shearling they offer the same personalized support as regular Bostons. I cannot recommend these shoes enough.

I have had these shoes almost 4 months. Bought November 29. I only wear as slippers around the house. As I was standing up from sitting on couch, the inside button broke off and I cannot repair it. Very disappointed. Shoes are still like new. Thought they would last longer than this.

The shoe feels great. I bought them for the fall. The only downside to this is it came in the box already scuffed. I would have returned if I wasn’t leaving for my trip with them. I still haven’t gotten the scuffs out but, the fit is great especially when you break them in a bit.

I love these Birks! Full disclosure: this is my first pair of Birkenstocks so I was very much on the fence in terms of sizing. After skimming through a lot of reviews it sounded like everyone was suggesting to go up a size, however I went with my gut and stuck with my true size. I'm a true US8.5/EU42 in almost all brands (Nike, Jordan, Vans) and went with the EU41(8-8.5) and they fit PERFECTLY. When first putting them on they felt maybe a smidge snug but then after a day of wearing they turned into the most comfortable pair of around-the-house shoes ever. After going through tons of reviews I think some confusion stems from people needing to size up from their normal non-shearling Birkenstock size which seems to be a size down for most. So in summary I'm guessing: My true size: US8.5/EU42 My Birkenstock size (say, normal Bostons or Arizonas): EU40 My Birkenstock Boston Shearling size: EU41 Hopefully this is helpful to those trying to sort sizing out!

I love these slippers and want you to send out another pair. The problem is there is a scratchy open seam in the tight slipper that makes it impossible to wear comfortably. Please resend another pair that doesn't have this.

I wear this Birkenstocks as slippers and outdoors. They are very comfortable and warm. My only complaint is that they turn my feet black.

This has been a continuous problem and have returned too many to list because as brand new Birks, they should not be scuffed fir the amount we pay. Thought this would be different with the new blue Birks. I’m very dissatisfied with the lack of quality control.

Love these!!!! I live in Michigan, and get tired of wearing my UGGS, these are the next best thing! I've been wearing these without socks in February and my feet are cozy warm.

I'm liking these though they took a bit of getting used to. I have a wide foot so I wear the buckle at most loose. What some reviewers say about a "rough seam" is true. The edge of the lambskin pokes up a bit. I put a small piece of moleskin over it and all is well. The shearling fluff gets more fluffy as I wear them. I also found that I had to get used to these a bit. I've learned to walk in them as if I'm barefoot -- and the shoe comes along for the ride. If I get too stiff in my stride, my leg and knee get stiff. Go with the flow. After one day of wear, they are conforming nicely to my foot. Wore them to an antique show -- a fair amount of walking.

The seam of glue inside the shoe rubs against foot in the most uncomfortable way. I think the glue attaches shearling to inside of shoe, unfortunately not carefully and feels like a sandpaper edge. I will try another pair and hope this will not be a problem. The shoe feels comfortable and the size is true to size, poor quality control.

Because of other reviews I ordered a size up, but it was too large and I had to reorder a size smaller. I wear a 9.5 in regular shoes, a 40 in Birks and the 9-9.5 is perfect. I found the shearling made no difference in the size. Very comfortable and snuggly!

The little bump by the big toe felt out of place (I have two other pair of birkenstocks so I'm familiar with the fit.) I had a vague memory of having to break that in and soften it so I decided to wear them in the house for a few days before I returned them. They are definitely getting better and I'll probably keep them. The color doesn't look really brown to me. They are more of a deep loden green to my eye. I'm sorry that Birkenstock doesn't make the high arch any more. I really loved that fit.

Extremely comfortable! I wear a 40 in sandals and ordered a 41 based on other reviews. They fit perfectly!

I normally wear a 38 narrow in the Boston clog (Women’s 7-7.5), and although it has been suggested in other reviews to either size up or not get narrow width for the shearling style, I still got my usual 38 narrow in the Boston Shearling. I’m so glad I did. Yes, they are definitely more snug when you first get them due to the shearling lining, and I did for a moment second guess if I should return them for a larger size. But I kept them, and after walking around all day for a day or 2, the shearling flattens out some and the suede stretches and conforms to your foot to be ultra comfortable. I find Birkenstocks in general to be clownishly wide and can’t imagine getting anything that isn’t a narrow size, and the width of my foot is completely average. I think you would have to have a truly wide foot to get the regular width in Birks. I have wore these with medium thickness socks in about 35-50 degree weather and stayed warm.

To help with sizing- I always wear 37N in Birkenstock sandals. However, that is technically sizing down for me as I generally wear a 7 in all other shoes. I got these in 38N and they are perfect and feel snug. So technically, they are true to my regular size, but a size up from my Birkenstock size. I’m using them as slippers since I’m a new mom at home on my feet all the time and I love them! Not too warm but super cozy.

Why are all the Regular sizes out of stock already?....yet the Narrow are in stock...I get it...women want to think their feet look smaller in Narrow...but some of us have imperfect feet...bunions etc...and care more about comfort than cramming our feet into a Narrow size...especially with the shearling lining taking up room.... the Regular are a must...oh well...next year maybe

Even though my foot is on the narrow side, these shoes were two narrow! Just as other reviews warned about! Additionally, the shoes came unboxed with a note on the outside that read “This item has been repackaged…because the original box was damaged in transit.” The whole thing looked really janky and I’m not even sure these are real Birkenstocks! What a waste of time and money.

Absolutely love the fleece lining and easy to slip on and off comfy shoe! Got these right before a recent camping trip and they were perfect for long walks both on dirt roads and sidewalks. So easy to slip on and off when getting in and out of camper. Super warm, accommodate socks, but also fine in bare feet. Great color ;)

It feels a bit small. Im size 5.5 although these fit me, ok i cannot wear any socks. but they’re so cute & feel so comfortable w moderate arch support.

This was my first purchase of shoe (as opposed to sandal) style Birkenstocks. I am a true 41 regular in Arizon, Gizeh, and Kairo styles. I ordered these in 42 regular based on the reviews, assuming that the comments about width were due to the shearling. However, the footbed of this style definitely feels more narrow -- maybe this is to do with the covered top, but even though these are a full size larger than my usual, my toes (not big toe, but other toes) all touch the top of the shoe. As expected from the Birkenstock footbed, and shearling, these are warm with strong arch support. As I purchased these as an indoor shoe and for traveling, rather than walking, I'm keeping them but do offer the advice to not assume these fit as expected.
