Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Shearling - Suede (Unisex)

The fit was fine--I ordered up a size to allow for shearling lining. But the shoe overall was not comfortable.

good and fluffy

Smaller than expected

I really wanted these shoes with the shearling, but my regular size (40) was too small and the next size up was too wide and just didn’t look right. I’m going to try the narrow in the 41 to see how that fits. I have not tried the ones with out the shearling so not sure how the fit is on those.

they were comfy, but I returned as I prefer a soft foot bed style

So I ordered the size 39 and they fit perfect without socks but since I’ll be wearing them in the winter I wanted to wear them with socks so I bought the next size up. They are very comfy and cozy!

The shoes are so cute and in style. But, they are not comfortable. Very stiff and flat feeling.

Slightly larger than needed, but very comfortable around the house, especially looking forward to winter with soft shearling inside. I have a very high arch so I had to add a Dr Scholls insert. Suede looks very nice.

comfortable and easy to break into. a little narrower than other birks labeled "narrow"

soul is very stiff - shearling is super soft, but overall comfort is not what I expect from Birks.

This is a very well made and cozy slipper. It has a nice sturdy sole, so you can easily wear it outside. The fit made my narrow foot feel secure, and my heel didn't slip out like some other backless shoes and slippers.

I have a medium width foot and was hoping that I could make do with the narrow that was available but it was to narrow. Sadly, I am returning the shoe and hoping that medium width are back in stock soon.

To narrow need to order wide with

Fit was ok. It seemed a little tight, but I am sure that was due to the shearling and would have improved over time like my UUGs. Mainly I just didn't like the color as much as i thought I would. I got the navy because the chocolate color was out. Maybe I will reorder when that one is back in stock.

I saw this on a friend in black and was convinced to buy it because it looked chic and perfect for running errands/walking the dog when the weather is cooler. The first pair of midnight narrows was slightly defective with one shoe rubbing me weird, so I ordered the same thing again and another pair in REGULAR just to compare the fit and comfort. The second narrow pair felt fine with no more rubbing, but there was so hard glue inside the shoe which scratches against your skin. This should really sound like a 3 star shoe, but I love birks and now that I finally have the proper pair with no defects, I am very glad to have them. It's hard to make a furry clog look chic and feel supportive, and they have done that. Thank Goodness for Zappos' customer service and easeful returns or exchanges or I would have given up. NOTE: I can flow between narrow and regular width birks, and I prefer the narrow birks in this style because it looks more chic. The regular width birk has a bigger more obvious toe box.

I am very excited about this pair of Birks because they're so warm and cozy with the shearling. I am giving this pair of shoes 4 stars because for years, I typically wear a 6-6.5/37 Birkenstock sandal/shoe. In fact, I have to make another hole in the straps to turn the normal size into a more narrow one to safely secure them to my feet. So, when I ordered these Boston Shearling Birks, I ordered my typical size in a narrow, and was shocked to find them very short, where my heel hung over the back of the shoe. So, I am exchanging them for a 7-7.5/38 Birk instead. Customer Service was most helpful in orchestrating the exchange for me.

I’m an older Birk wearer. For 50+ years. I’m struggling with these a bit. They are very stiff, but I know the more I wear them, them they’ll “adapt.” I’m moving to a colder state, from Southern California, so these will be my “go to” shoes.

I bought these to use as indoor slippers as I have plantar faciitis. My feet get kind of sweaty in them but they're awesome w/ a pair of socks when it's cold out.

I hope the leather will stretch out a little or the shearling to flatten down. I've always worn size 39 and these feel at least a half size smaller due to the shearling.

It's like a hug for your feet! I've been wearing them for a week now and they are fantastic. I got the black mink/suede and they do seem a bit prone to scuffs and stuff... Which irks me slightly but they are so comfortable it's easy to get over it. Really happy I decided to splurge for the shearling. Definitely wear them without socks. Otherwise you really miss the full benefits of the shearling.

This shoe was too small and narrow for me, but it’s sold out in the larger width - so back it goes but I think it would have been very comfortable in the “regular” width - I chose narrow because it said that would fit most women - too bad

The narrow width was too tight at the bal of my foot had to return. I think they would have been ok in regular width.

Comfy. Fit was fine; did order a half sz up. Fleece takes up some space. Warm - perfect winter wear!

I tried a 39 and a 40. I just felt like they were slipping off my feet.
