Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Shearling - Suede (Unisex)

Why are all the Regular sizes out of stock already?....yet the Narrow are in stock...I get it...women want to think their feet look smaller in Narrow...but some of us have imperfect feet...bunions etc...and care more about comfort than cramming our feet into a Narrow size...especially with the shearling lining taking up room.... the Regular are a must...oh well...next year maybe

It feels a bit small. Im size 5.5 although these fit me, ok i cannot wear any socks. but they’re so cute & feel so comfortable w moderate arch support.

This was my first purchase of shoe (as opposed to sandal) style Birkenstocks. I am a true 41 regular in Arizon, Gizeh, and Kairo styles. I ordered these in 42 regular based on the reviews, assuming that the comments about width were due to the shearling. However, the footbed of this style definitely feels more narrow -- maybe this is to do with the covered top, but even though these are a full size larger than my usual, my toes (not big toe, but other toes) all touch the top of the shoe. As expected from the Birkenstock footbed, and shearling, these are warm with strong arch support. As I purchased these as an indoor shoe and for traveling, rather than walking, I'm keeping them but do offer the advice to not assume these fit as expected.

Even though my foot is on the narrow side, these shoes were two narrow! Just as other reviews warned about! Additionally, the shoes came unboxed with a note on the outside that read “This item has been repackaged…because the original box was damaged in transit.” The whole thing looked really janky and I’m not even sure these are real Birkenstocks! What a waste of time and money.

What was unexpected… the shearling lining is not dye fast!!! My bare feet turn Black!!! My white socks turn Black !!

Absolutely love the fleece lining and easy to slip on and off comfy shoe! Got these right before a recent camping trip and they were perfect for long walks both on dirt roads and sidewalks. So easy to slip on and off when getting in and out of camper. Super warm, accommodate socks, but also fine in bare feet. Great color ;)

I am typically a 9.5 but ordered a 10 and returned for my usual size. So order your usual size. These are a delight! The sherling is soft. These are worth the price!

I bought the Boston shearling the first year it was out I have a very narrow foot. Narrow is must have in Arizona, Granada and Boston. I was advised to go a size up because of shearling. They kill me--even without socks. The toe box hurts so bad. I'm ordering a new shearling pair in regular width and the same size up. Hope it will be better.

What’s their to dislike? These are so comfy!

I usually wear a 37 in Birkenstock sandals; however, the 37 in the Boston with the shearling felt too small. I sized up to a 38, and they felt great! I am a teacher, and I’m on my feet all day. These are great for comfort, and I get tons of compliments on them!

I am a consistent 38N in Birkenstock sandals, but I order 39N in closed toe and closed Birks to accommodate socks and because I’m into total, unconfining comfort. The 39N in these fleece-lined wonders is perfect both with and without socks.

This shoe was perfect for me. I wear a 37 Narrow in Birkenstock. I do have some regular but I prefer the narrow as they fit my foot perfectly. I ordered the 37 in these. They are the narrow foot bed. These were perfect. But I can see why others wrote that if you prefer the regular width in Birkenstock’s, these will be snug for you. You do not need to size up if you wear the narrow size. I am glad I didn’t size up. I am glad I purchased my usual size. I would suggest to size up if you do not wear the narrow Birkenstock.

I love this shoe! I stayed with my size and I am glad I did. It does start out tight but after a couple weeks it seemed to fit like my other birks once the shearling flattens out. I have planters fasciitis and after wearing these I have had no issues. I wear them all over and it does great with keeping my feet warm and cozy.

I wear these shoes in the winter. My go to winter shoe! No need for my orthotics. Excellent support. My plantar fasciitis went away wearing these. Super comfortable & warm!!

I love, love this Birkenstock. I am a narrow and I am so excited you have certain styles in narrow. I have the Birkenstocks on right now and just received my brown ones. I wear them all day in and out of the house the support is great. Thank-you Zappos for carrying narrows and next day shipping. I love you!

Recommended size was one up from usual which was perfect with the lining. These are cozy until the shearling on the footbed squashes down and there's no way to replace it without getting a whole new footbed which is expensive. So now I wear socks with these to stay warm. Birkenstock should really find a way to replace the shearling footbed liners easily.

Attractive wintery birks- had some slight issues with one of the shoes being defective chafing me on the top of my foot but the customer service was able to help me resolve the issue. To compare the narrow and the regular width, I have included a pic for reference (midnight blue is narrow, black is regular). I ultimately went with narrow because it’s comfortable, but I have to say the Regular is NOT any roomier than the narrow, which is odd. If you have wide feet, I would pass on this style. If you do wear narrow birk sandals, then this style would work for you. I do adore this midnight blue color.

Very comfortable. Could be more attractive. I am between sizes 37-38 in Gizehs. I originally bought Bostons with fleece in size 38 which were too short. I exchanged for a size 39 which are perfect.

These are beautiful and well made, but alas, too small and too tight for me. I have other same sized Birkenstocks that fit fine. I think these do run smaller and advise others to size up.

Shearling was falling off/shedding and quality seemed cheap. For the price, this does not seem acceptable. Sadly, I must return. I am a Birkenstock fan and bummed out about this quality shift.

I wanted these to work, but even though I sized up they were still ultimately too tight in the toes. I'm normally a size 7M, but I wear a 38 Regular in the Birk Arizona sandals. So I tried these in a 39 because of the added bulk of the shearling and because they only come in narrow. Overall, the footbed was comfortable, and the narrow-ness was not bad for the most part, except for in the toe box area which was just a bit too tight and constricting. It made my toes cold because they were being squished. Maybe that would break in, but I'm not sure.. and for the price, I didn't really want to gamble with it not working. Going up one more size would definitely be too long, so I sent them back. I should mention that this was with a thin sock on; it's too cold where I live to go without socks, but I definitely wasn't wearing my normal thicker wool socks. Ultimately, I bought the Birk Zermatt Shearling slipper in my normal length of 38 (also only comes in Narrow), and the toe area on those fit much better than these ones did even in the larger size. I think if you have a narrow foot and/or don't want to wear socks, this shoe could work? But since I'm used to the wider Birks, these didn't fit as well as the Zermatts. Overall arch support was great. If they would make these available in Regular width, I think it would make all the difference.

I did a lot of experimenting before settling on the size 40 (one size up) shoe in this style. The size 40 was even shorter in the toe than my size 39 Birk sandals. So I tried a size 41 (!!!) which was like wearing dinner plates on my feet. Then I went back to the size 40 and decided they are overall more comfortable, and that it's easier to scrunch toes in a slide than in a sandal. (True confession: I have very long toes!) These shoes came highly recommended from a friend whose problem feet are almost as bad as mine, and I've been wearing them at home pretty comfortably in place of my beloved down slippers, which are totally lacking in structure or support.

I love Birkenstocks! They always have my feet feeling good. I have had had two foot surgeries in the past and these clogs make my feet comfortable. I also love Birkenstock variety of shoes. They are designed for arch/feet comfort. I recommend highly

Boston shearling birkenstock Runs small. My grandaughter usually wears a 9 narrow 40, but returned for a 41. They were perfect.
