Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Shearling - Suede (Unisex)

True to size, narrow fit my medium width fit. Loved them so much bought another pair for my daughter!

Read the reviews and some say to keep your original size and others say to go up a size. Normally I’m a size 41 in Birkenstock’s so I originally ordered my true to size but when they came they did fit, however, they were a bit snug and my heel didn’t have any extra room. I ended up exchanging them for a size 42 and the fit is so perfect. Still snugg and still the perfect size! The second I opened up the box my mom was walking in and was like “omg I love those, what are they?” And she felt the fur on the inside and oohh’d and ahh’d so I bought her a pair right then too! Love that the suede is super soft and easy to break in.

Love these! Ordered my usual Birkenstock size after reading some reviews when trying to decide if I should size up to account for the Sherpa, but when they arrived they were too small so I exchanged for the next size up. They seem a little bit on the larger side but better than my heel almost hanging off. Comfy and perfect for slipping on and running errands

Even though I've read reviews that said this style was snug and not to order up a size, I did decide to go with a half size larger than my usual Birks. Normally I wear 8.5/39; went to a 9/40. I ordered a Narrow. My arch is high and my heels are narrow, but my toe box is not, so I have trouble getting shoes to fit comfortably. Plus my feet are always cold. These is slightly snug, but I understand that they will stretch out some, and that's going to be fine, I'm sure. Main thing, though, is that these shoes are heaven on my achy feet. Really unbelievably comfortable, supportive, and warm!

I ordered 1 size larger than usual (38 vs 37) as was suggested due to the narrow footbed. Perfect! These are my “house shoes”/slippers. I need arch support beyond what a slipper provides and these are perfect!

These Birks Rock! So comfy and warm. Thanks Zappos! Wish you had more in stock...

LOVE, HAD TO RETURN TOO SMALL!. ALWAYS WEAR A 38N needed a 39 N in this model.

I ordered these in my usual size (40 N) and after wearing a few times, they fit perfectly. The shearling lining does take up a little space at first, but as is conforms to your foot the fit is great. The lining really does add nice warmness, even without socks.

Wear birks year round. Fit just like my unlined Boston’s

I absolutely love the shoes! They are perfect in every way.

Very comfortable and supportive. Shearling lining keeps my feet warm.

I got my usual size and while they are snug at first, they will stretch comfortably even after a few wearings. I adore them. For me they function as slippers and shoes. I love all the colors too. My only beef is that the black suede doesn't come with white shearling. If they did, I would own every color. BTW these are fantastic for those of us who get the occasional plantar fasciitis/and or fat-pad syndrome flare up. Counterintuitive that a relatively firm negative's heel shoe would be therapeutic, but Birks (and Hoka One One Stimson for exercise walking) cured mine in about 2 weeks.

Feels like a Birkenstock’s shoe. Shearling is cozy and warm. As to sizing, it is true to size WITHOUT SOCKS. With socks, I’d size up for just a little room. I personally like shearling so I don’t have to wear socks, so I ordered my usual size of 37N and it fit just like every other Birkenstock’s shoe I have. Cozy, comfortable—just wish they were cheaper.

I normally wear a 41 in Birkenstock sandals, but in the Boston Shearling I had to go up to a 42 to wear barefoot. I returned the 41s because they were too small, and then received the 42s and the shoes were from two different dye lots and it was quite noticeable so I returned them. As they say, third time is a charm -- I ordered another pair of 42s and they arrived perfectly matching and extremely comfortable! Super happy with Zappos free shipping on returns and super quick shipping when placing an order.

I have worn Birkenstocks for over 20 years, Boston being my very first pair. I could literally wear them all day. They are perfect for plane trips; easy on/off. Plus the great support enables me to comfortably wear them from 5:00 a.m. until way past midnight (time changes). I have an arthritic knee from an injury, and my orthopedic surgeon was thrilled that I wear Birkenstock’s, as the arch support helps keep me from over-pronating and putting less stress on my poor joint. I have always worn a 40 narrow in the Boston, even with my bunions. However, the shearling lined Bostons were a bit short and too narrow for me. My poor bunions were sore after only an hour’s wear, inside, on a carpet. I wore very thin cotton socks, so doubt that made a difference. I exchanged them for the 40 regular width, and though they are a tad shorter than unlined Boston’s, the fit is much better. They keep my feet nice and warm in our short winter. I wear them as slippers all day and I love the fit and color. If you have any foot or knee issues, and need an “inside” shoe or slipper, I would highly recommend the shearling lined Boston. To me, they are worth their weight in gold, and worth the price!

Perfect fit! Super cozy shearling lining!

These would have been very warm and comfortable if my size would have fit.

I love these. These are so nice and warm, my toes, which are ALWAYS cold, are NEVER cold in these shoes. So happy I bought them.

Worn them daily since i got them. my arizona’s are a 43 and i got these in a 44..love them, super comfy

I ordered a narrow fit for the first time ever in a Birkenstock. I have had the sandals (regular)in the past and was afraid the covered style would look like I had cartoon feet. The narrow looks great and the lining cuddles your feet. The arch support is the best and is the sole reason I seek this brand out. Now I can have supportive shoes that feel like slippers!!

I love, love, love these. Perfect right out of the box. Wearing them right now and use them for both inside and outside wear. Since I went back to wearing Birkenstocks my back doesn't hurt as much and my feet feel wonderful. If I have to wear another brand (like for dress wear) I keep them in my car or close by so I can change as quickly as possible. I've used Zappos for years now and love their service and selection.A+++!

Fabulous slipper. Maybe felt a tiny bit smaller bc of the shearling and the socks u wear with them, but still fits perfectly. LOVE them.

I got these for my wife and this is her second pair of Birkenstocks, while she thinks they are ugly, she likes the fit and feel of both of them, these keep her feet nice and warm.

I am very particular about shoes, having broken a bone in my foot years ago, and have been a fan of Birkenstocks for over 25 years. I ordered a 40 narrow in these but I usually wear a 39 in the sandals. I got the narrow because I did have a pair of these before, without the shearling, and they were too wide and floppy. The narrow is more snug, feels much better, and fits well. I'm happy with these. They are very comfortable. I hope they continue making this style.

I ordered 2 pair. I always wear 39 N in Birkenstock. I got the merlot in39 narrow, and the mink in 39 regular. I love the fur!! The 39N is too narrow and short, and the 39R was too wide but a better fit lengthwise. So now what??? Do I go up to a 40 and stick with the narrow, or go down to 38 and get the regular?? Unfortunately there are no regulars left in any color in the 38, and I think that width would be better. I suppose I could wear the 39N barefoot, but even in Tx I need some type of sock in winter. That size is so close to my foot, there isn’t any space for a sock, and I just cannot wear without socks. Love the shoe though!!! Customer service at Zappos is awesome!!!!!!
