I'm normally a US size 6, but my best fit in Birks is EU 36 and that's what I dared to order, despite other reviews. The fit is perfect, a tiny bit snug which is my preference. In my experience with the Birkenstock Zermatt slipper, the recommended size (EU 37) is just was too big and sloppy. So consider ordering your regular size! I love these, they are great.

Hello - the show fit perfectly however they arrived not in original Birkenstock package and were very scuffed up - definitely not new. So returning.

This is my second pair of Boston shearling Birkenstocks. They are super comfortable and cozy and don't even need socks unless it's extremely cold. I do find this style runs a size smaller than other Birkenstocks. I wear 38 in Arizonas and other styles, but this runs small, probably because of the full shearling lining. I will say to the negative that they do not wear well; the pair from last year look pretty shot after one season, unlike most Birkenstocks in general.

Love these, they are comfortable and true to size. It is like having slippers I can wear in public! I normally wear a 7 and that size fit great.

These are sherpa fur lined and very cozy. I where the narrow width in Birkenstocks and these are sometimes hard to find. Thank you Zappos you do carry them.

I never thought I’d spend this much on slippers... but I never thought I’d be working from home and wearing them 15 hours a day! Comfortable and supportive as expected of a Birkenstock. I’m a 38 Narrow in Birkenstock sandals, and went up a size as suggested - the 39 Narrow fits perfectly.

I've been wearing these everyday since they were delivered (about 5 days). I really like them. I've worn them with and without socks. The socks were relatively thin but comfortable with the shearling. The first pair that I returned, I sized up because I thought the shearling would make it too narrow in the toe box, but they were way too big, so I went with my regular size of 9/9.5 regular width and they fit perfect. These shoes are very comfortable and pretty good arch support.

These are so comfortable. Without socks the shearling is soft and cozy. I love them. Comfy with socks too. I need to wear supportive shoes in the house. These are great. Will need an outside pair too I think.

I bought these to replace a 10 year old pair nearly exactly like them. The old pair are still in fine shape, just look a little rough to wear to work. I have a bunion and these shoes are one of the few that don't hurt my feet. I hope to get 10+ years out of this pair!

I love the fit and comfort of the Boston shearling style and am dissapointed that more colors aren't offered this year. Seems like Birkenstock is pushing the Buckley style which makes my foot feel like it is being pushed forward and the top of the tongue sticks into my foot. More Boston shearling please.

I like the Boston style over the Buckley. The latter push my foot forward and the tongue sticks into my foot. I found these to be true to size and I have bunions. I hope Zappos brings in more colors in this style.

Love these! These are my everyday around the house shoes. I replaced my old pair with the black color. They are great, but the black shearling tends to bleed into my toes and soles of my feet.

Birkenstock has mastered comfort and these do not disappoint. I have these in 4 colors and wear them all year round.

It's wonderful to have something warm with arch support as an alternative to slippers! I can't wear regular slippers anymore, but love the warmth of shearling, and this really works. I was a little skeptical of the recommendation to get size 39N, since 38N is my regular Boston size, but the 39 is perfect. It's snuggly but not tight, toasty warm, and the arch is in exactly the right place. Definitely worth the investment - thank you!

I have narrow feet and bunions, so often shoes that are wide enough for my bunions are too wide for the rest of my foot and hard to keep on. The narrow width, shearling, and adjustable buckle of these shoes make them a perfect fit. They have excellent arch support, take pressure off of my bunions, and were comfortable and cozy right out of the box. I have Birkenstock sandals so I felt confident about the support for my foot, but wasn’t sure if this style would be harder to keep on. They’ve been great for walking around the neighborhood and running errands!

Really comfy and warm with a traditional Birkenstock sole that provides solid traction. These are my house shoes for the fall and winter. I had Hafslinger slippers before but they didn’t provide the needed arch and foot support. These shoes are slightly smaller than a regular 39 but still fit.

I wear a 39 in the Myari sandals in regular width, and they fit perfectly. I wanted a warm pair of Birkenstock’s so I decided to try these. Unfortunately the only width available is narrow. Even though the Myari is more of a narrow style the Boston in narrow are too narrow. Also I tried a 39 in non-lined Boston and it is too small so I sized up to a 40. I almost think I could use a 41. My toes hit the top of the shoe on a 40 regular width so I am going to try a 41. For reference in tennis shoes like new balance I wear a 10 and in sandals I always wear a 9.
I'd also recommend:
New balance , Asics, Algeria , Merrill

I have been wearing these since I got them a few days ago. I’m on my feet a lot at work and I walk a lot at home and these are great! This is my second pair of Birkenstock clogs and my first with the shearling which feels very good on my feet. I was originally concerned about ordering them in the Narrow size but they fit wonderfully and I had many compliments on them

These are my second pair of the Shearlings and I am so grateful! Recently diagnosed w Plantar Fasciitis w Fibromyalgia, walking is a nightmare...any weight bearing...usually wear my Coquetes for the support because I can not go bare foot but spending the monies which I do NOT mind as long as the product is worth it...unfortunately the heel pads on the Uggs are wearing after 2-3 weeks...not the same anymore...ANYWAY, these have been a grateful find! I started wearing Birkenstocks this past year and now having these as in house slippers has been my lottery! Finding something that relieves any amount of pain or discomfort is WONDERFUL!!!! AND as always Zappos is perfect! THANK you!

I was so glad to snag these in my size after they continued to be sold out. I’m normally a 7.5 and sometimes an 8. In Birkenstock’s I order the 38 (7-7.5) in regular width. These fit perfectly. I think the narrow would be too small for my feet even though I don’t have wide feet. These are perfect to wear around the house and to run my kids to activities after school. They are very warm and cozy!

Order one size up from your normal birks size due to the shearling. These are so warm and comfy! They feel like slippers! They aren’t super stylish but for the comfort I doesn’t matter! I purchased the gray and the color is a nice light gray color.
