My new favorite winter shoe! The shoe fits true to size. I have enjoyed walking around NYC all week in them.

Order a size larger than normal In Birkenstock’s due to inside fuzziness. Amazingly comfortable and very cute!

Loved these shoes for winter slippers. They are so cozy and offer great arch support to my fallen arches. The fit was spot on and the shearling lining gave it that extra coziness and warmth. Please get these to survive cold, snowy areas!

After wanting these for years, I finally bought them and was so happy I did. I wear birkenstocks all summer long - i'm a 39 narrow (dark footprint on insole) though there's no wiggle room in there, it's quite the perfect fit. With the shearling, I found I needed to size up especially if I want to wear thicker socks. I might regret that as the shearling wears down, but after a couple of weeks they still fit great. They keep my feet warm in the cold, and in this weird 55 degree weather we've been having in November/December here in NYC, they feel especially delightful barefoot.

I wear a 38 Narrow in the Arizona sandal, so I went one size up on these to allow for the furry insides. I have medium/narrow low volume feet with high arches. It was perfect for slipping into without socks on cold mornings. They are really warm for our N. California winters so if I'm wearing these it's fine with no socks. If you want to wear socks with them, you may want to get the wide and go one size up or perhaps stay with narrow and go two sizes up. But they are really warm. So much so that I've decided to also order the regular soft footbed Bostons for when I just want to wear socks and am not wanting that much warmth, and for wearing to do errands/grocery shopping and whatnot. Wearing these with socks is too hot for me. However, if you live in colder climates you will want to do just that so allow extra room for it!

OMG, zappos was so fast with shipping and delivery, so impressed! Thank you.
Sizing is perfect if you follow the size chart, I am size 8 narrow feet and I ordered size 39 Narrow. Amaizing!

I have had plantar fasciitis in my right foot so need good support which my Ugg slippers did not give me. These are awesome! Very comfortable and cozy and cute too! Highly recommend!

When I first put them on, they seemed snug...that is only because of the shearling lining. Unbuckle them one notch, wear them around the house for the day and they will be true to size.

I love my new shearling Bostons..my knees have been through 2 replacements and one revision. Needless to say, comfort is key for me and these are padded with the softest shearling and keep my feet warm and cozy and my knees happy. I had a doctor's appt. a few weeks ago and wore my Birks and he looked down and my feet and smiled..".keep wearing them", he said. I have many pairs, but these are my new favorites. I bought the 38 Narrows (I am a 7 1/2 to 8, and they are perfect. Sometimes the Boston seems to wide for my narrow foot, but now that Narrows are available, I am a happy camper. I bought these in the light color. Very happy with my purchase and the fast Zappos' service.

Love these shoes. Style is on trend (if you're into the comfy-but-ugly-shoe-thing). And they are SO comfortable. All of that said, the sizing does run small like many of the other reviews say. I'm a straight 37 or 38 in all Birkenstocks depending on how I want them to fit (38 if they have two straps, 37 if they have one), and I always buy the narrow width. I took the 38 narrow in these because they were unisex sizing and I didn't want them to be big and floppy, but there is no extra room. Could not wear a pair of socks with them if I wanted to. Keeping for now, but will also order the next size up for comparison purposes.

These Bostonshearlings are the best Birkenstock’s ever!!!! I would buy them in every color IF they came in REGULAR. NARROW does NOT EVER FIT a REGULAR foot. Please, please bring them back in REGULAR. The narrow is TOO, TOO narrow for this Birkenstock girl in ANY style.

The fit and size were perfect for me. I am normally a 6.5 medium width (but more towards the wider side of medium than narrow) and the 37 Narrow was spot on. I have only worn them 2x so I can't say how well the shearling will hold up but I can say they feel like a dream and are a fantastic classic/stylish look.

This shoe is true to size. I wear 7.5 US size regular width in most shoes but always wear size 37 Narrow Euro in Birkenstock (Birkenstock says 7.5 US would be a 38 EU but that size is way to big and floppy for me). I bought a 37 narrow and they fit just like my other 37 narrow Birkenstock’s without the shearling. True to size.

I have been wearing Birkenstocks for over 20 years. The Boston soft footbed has always been a favorite, especially when traveling. I wear a 40N. I originally ordered my usual size in the shearling lined, but found them too narrow and a bit short. I exchanged them for a 40R, and the fit is much better. They do run a bit on the narrow side compared to the unlined Bostons. I am now wearing them with thin socks to stretch them a bit. They have great support and are nice and warm. My orthopedic surgeon recommended Birkenstocks years ago. They are the ONLY shoe I can wear from 5:00 a.m., trudge through airports, and remove after a sometimes 14-16 hour day, with NO PAIN in my problematic feet (bunions and a hammer toe) and my arthritic knees. Anyone who has ANY foot problem should definitely give them a try. They are worth their weight in gold!

A little on the pricey side but if you can’t quite find that right house shoe/slipper then look no further. Easy on, easy off and very comfortable in between. Bought these as a birthday gift for my mother in law....I highly recommend you do these if you’re looking for the same type of gift.

Super comfy. Love them. But I did have to size up one size from my normal Bostons.

The most confortable indoor shoes ever! Good support for the feed compared to ordinary slippers. Very cosy with the shearling lining. It does make them smaller compared to my other Birkenstock so I had to go up a size.
I strongly recommend them!

I bought these on recommendation of my podiatrist. They are comfortable, but when i put the left shoe on there is a piece of the shoe that is sharp and causing pain when wearing. It is a defect in the manufacture of this particular pair of shoes, possible the stitching or gluing of the inside of the shoe I am hoping to exchange them and the next pair will be comfortable.

This fit well in narrow, true to size for me and for my daughter. But for each of us, there was something uncomfortable about them - for her the upper part of her foot, for me my longest toe. So back they go, but if you like the look of these, maybe they will work. The soles are very nice and the furry inside feels great.
For those with wide feet complaining that these are narrow, please be aware that many of us have narrow feet and very much appreciate narrow sizes! :-)

I am a 9.5 but get a size 10 for the width. They felt a little big. The next size down may be a little small. It’s hard-I’m in the middle.
For the money, I’m not sure how I feel. I need to have them longer and see how they wear. I can say that the glue that was used, I can feel on my foot as it’s scratchy and uncomfortable. I am working on cutting it out. I have only had summer Birks. This is my first clog. I’m on the fence.
