Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Shearling - Suede (Unisex)

I have been eyeing these for a while and glad I finally purchased. They are so comfortable and supportive. Also, they are very cute and will wear them all the time. I’m happy Birkenstock’s are cool again but would probably make them work even if they weren’t. The narrows fit well on my beat up runner’s feet with bunions.

I just got these and all I can say is “ OH MY GOD!” No! They are not sexy! But they are amazing And comfortable. They are worth every cent. They are made in Germany not China.

I purchased a black pair last year and loved them! As soon as I saw the gray, I knew I needed them. I love these Birks! They keep my feet super warm in cold temps. I measure a 6.5 and bought a 37.

They fit like a dream. I just got back from my doc because my back was a mess and very painful. When I got home, these had arrived. I slipped them on and they felt so good. I felt my posture improved immediately. My feet are a Triple Threat-wide, bunion on right big toe, and high instep; all the things that make finding comfortable shoes a challenge. I bought the narrow ( wide was not available ) and I was surprised that the fit was so good. ( Thank you reviewer who said she had wide feet, but that the narrow to regular fit her. ) Just for reference, my feet are 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 inches wide at their widest point, including the bunion. So, just out of the box, I am thrilled with the fit, not too big or too tight, just right and very supportive. I love the soft grey color. They are definitely a keeper! Last, but not least, thank you Zappos for your great customer service! It keeps me coming back to shop with you again and again.

Love these! Took awhile to break in, more then traditional birks, definitely more snug at first. very warm and supportive.

These are great to wear right out of bed when you can’t walk barefoot (bad ankles). I usually wear a 41 but had to order a 42 probably because of the shearling lining. Very comfortable- I plan on wearing them often!

Love these shoes! I had to return the first pair and get a size larger than I normally wear in Birkenstocks. The toe area was very uncomfortable on the first pair, but the larger pair is perfect. Comfortable for all day wear, and so warm!

I love this shoe but I am exchanging for a larger size. These run substantially smaller than the Birkenstock sandal which I have worn for years and years in a size 38.

I usually wear a 40 in the sandals (gizeh) but am a full size up in these slippers (41). I almost returned them as they still felt a little too small under the toe bar but the lining will lay down some so give it a day if you are on the fence.

Next best thing if you can't wear Uggs! I use these as house slippers. I have tried to wear out and about when running errands but my feet get too hot. I have major foot problems and Birkenstock's work for me!

Mostly love these. For the price, I would not have expected the poor glueing of the shearling. The left clog is really uncomfortable without socks due to extremely rough edges. I will keep because they are out of stock in my size, and hope that it smooths out. Wearing with socks defeats my purpose of having these to just slip on.

Surprised to find these not as cushy in the toes as I expected. The shearling lining also makes them feel shorter than my other size 40 Birks

Too tight with shearling so need next size up; also need to wear socks because feet turn black from shearling

I ordered my usual size 39 or 8 to 8.5. Only the narrow was available. The width was fine even though my feet are slightly wide. There is a slight problem with the fleece curling under at the inside arch. I fixed it with a band Sid and purchased moleskin for a more permanent fix, Hopefully, as I wear the shoe everything will mold and stay in place

I normally wear a size 36 narrow in all other Birkenstock styles and this shoe did not fit me. Because of the shearling fur they were tight and seemed much more narrow.

I ordered for the shearling lining, which is lovely, warm, snuggly. The arch hit me in the wrong spot, although with wriggling it felt fine. Overall the shoe was what I expected - kind of loose, kind of hippie-of-yore style, but the arch support blew it for me. Also the suede top feels a bit sloppy, and I'd be concerned about going off one side if walking outside.

warm & toasty, there was a bit of bald spot where the sides meet the foot bed, glue sticking out, so far it hasn't been rubbing.

I am a 39 in the Arizona's but needed a 40 in these - the shearling makes them feel much shorter. The biggest problem with the Boston Shearling is that there seems to be a quality issue - the first pair I ordered had a greenish/black stain on the cork on the side of one shoe. I returned them and ordered another pair which arrived all scuffed up. For $165 they should not be stained or scuffed. I never had an issue with the Arizona's and I have had several pairs. Also I wish the Boston Shearling came in a soft footbed - the shearling helps but it's not as comfortable as the soft footbed.

I wear a 39 regular width Birkenstock sandals, for the shearling Boston narrow width I had to go up to a size 40, which fits perfectly with bare feet or thin socks.

This is my first purchase of Birkenstock. I always wear 7M for any brand. But after review I bought 7N and she was right. Narrow fit like medium fit was perfect. comfortable but not as much as I expected. want more arch support.

These are true to regular-European sizing, but feel at least one size small in Birkenstock-size, which runs really large for me. I sized up from my usual Birkenstock Regular-width size, and they fit, and feel more narrow than regular-width Bostons. (I wear a 37 in Bostons, even with socks! 38 in these, no socks). The shearling feels great, no "glue seams" or anything like that. I couldn't wear these with even thin socks though, but why would you want to with sheepskin? However, I ultimately decided not to keep these, because my ankles are cold! I realized I need a full boot/ bootie for cold weather.

Shoes are cozy with soft shealing lining, but the fit was just not right for my foot. I realized I don't like a heelless shoe for winter.

short on the foot. ok on the width.

Was really excited to get them. I ordered them in black. They came in a generic brown box, not the typical Birkenstock blue box. You could see numerous places on them where glue was holding them together, but I needed a shoe to wear due to foot pain. I wore them outside for a very short time and my feet were stained black from the dye coming off of the shearling. Overall disappointed.

Usual size wasn’t ideal to wear socks in. Even thin socks made them feel too tight. The pair received also had an uncomfortable seam in the right clog where the shearling stopped and it pressed down on the toenails.
