Customer Reviews Birkenstock Zermatt Slipper

I ordered the narrow as that is what I wear in a regular Birkenstock. These were extremely narrow, and I couldn't get my high arch into the slipper without putting indentations into the top of my foot. One slipper said it was made in Germany and the other one said made in Portugal. The box said made in Portugal. Sounds like the company is a bit mixed up. Would have been a cute slipper had the fit been right.

If you’re a Birkenstock person, you’ll love these slippers. I’ve been wearing them since they arrived this morning. They are a slipper revelation!!! Finally, I can take my shoes off and put on a pair of slippers when I get home. I can’t walk around barefoot or in slippers with no support. I’ve tried them all from the $20 discount store slippers to super expensive Geisswein’s, and they’re either too squishy or too flat. This slipper has the Birkenstock sole that fits me like a glove right out of the box every time, and it’s got the cozy fleece and warm wool that I want in a slipper. I wear narrow width in Birkenstocks, and these are comfortably snug and stay put. I’m ordering another pair to squirrel away in case they are ever discontinued, and I got my husband a pair too. He’s a Birkenstock convert since he now has plantar fasciitis. These will be perfect for him. A million stars! LOVE THEM!

My slipper search is over. I need shoes with strong support both during the day and around the house. I wear Birkenstocks almost exclusively and was thrilled to see them finally offer a dedicated slipper. The shearling lining and wool are nice and cozy and the grippy low profile sole is much more house friendly than a pair of Bostons (which I was previously using as slippers). All this with the same excellent support underfoot. I put them on the minute I opened the box yesterday and haven’t been in the house without them on since.

I have been searching years for slippers that felt supportive, yet not too heavy, comfortable, and looked good. This style did it all. The red color is very sharp

I'm so excited to have a substantial slipper to wear! The wool is warm and the bottoms of the slippers are perfect for my hardwood and stone floors. I wear a 42 narrow and like all shearling lined products the bulk in the shearling wears down after a very short while. I love the color of the light blue, nice girly change for a lady with long slender feet. Thank you Birkenstocks and thank YOU Zappos for selling them!

This Zermatt Slipper is exactly what I needed! I have been wearing Ugg Coquettes forever for the support but recently they have NOT been able to do so. I had started to purchase Birkenstocks ...slowly... mules, shoes, slip ons and found the relief of pain along with the comfort I need...having been diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis, Advanced Fibromyalgia and Degenerative Bone Disease, the pain of placing any weight on my feet was so overwhelming....dreading any activity...now the slippers have made the pain less debilitating...hoping each day to come it down...just purchased the inserts and will insert in Ugg Boots ...fingers crossed! AND as always...Zappos is awesome...ordered in the afternoon, received the following morning! THANK you Zappos!

In love with these slippers! I’m a big Birkenstock fan and was too excited when I saw these new slippers. They are so comfortable - all the comfort of Birkenstocks with the added benefit of warmth. Perfect for around the house, but I’d skip outside use. The wool stretches just a little so they might feel a bit tight at first.

Fit and size were fine. Why did Birkenstock choose to sew a label right in the center of the footbed. Very scratchy. I’m returning them ASAP.

The red is a great color, and these are awesome right outta the box! Warm and comfortable, and for my big wide feet, the fit is perfect. I have worn the Arizona (?) Birkenstock sandal for 15 years as a house shoe/slipper since I had Plantar Fasciatis (however that’s spelled). However I need something warmer for fall and winter. The coating on the soles is just right for taking the dog out for a quick morning and nighttime potty walk. These are perfection!

I am in love with these slippers. I was having some intense heel pain due to my flat feet, and my old Acorn slippers weren't cutting it for walking around the house. These have exactly the kind of aggressive arch support that Birks are known for, and the wool/shearling combo is so comfy. The broad toebox is awesome, and they still look good in person due to the simple styling. I have very low insteps, and these fit perfectly. If you have high insteps, these are probably not going to work for you. I always wear socks with my slippers, so the label mentioned by other reviewers doesn't bother me, but it's probably worth keeping in mind.

Was using the Boston Shearlings as slippers for the support and comfort and decided to try these...did not disappoint. A bit softer but the support, warm and quality is true Birkenstocks! My Fibromyalgia and Plantar Fasciitis does get relief ...AND as always Zappos is aMAZING with next day delivery!

Love these shoes! Because they were only available in narrow and I usually wear a regular width Birkenstock, I was hesitant to order the Zermatt. But the fit is perfect and I've been practically living in them since they arrived two weeks ago. I was looking for a comfortable shoe to wear at home and these are perfect.

Love Birks in the summer. Most comfortable footbed of any shoe I own. Decided to try the slippers. I’m so glad that I did. They are comfortable, cozy and supportive. I can’t wait to slip my feet in them when I get home. I don’t have any of the issues that other reviewers noted. Love them.

I typically wear a 38 in Birkenstock sandals but decided to go up to a 39 in these slippers because my feet slid a little on the soft footbed material. The wool upper feels a little scratchy at first and takes some getting used to. I solved the issue by wearing a thin pair of socks with the slippers. I'm very happy with these--very comfortable and the arch support can't be beat!

Awesome arch support slippers and very comfortable. Go half to whole size down, all Birks run large.

I LIVE in these slippers at home! The red is bright and happy, the fuzzy footbed is warm, comfortable and inviting. They are supportive but not as stiff as regular Birkenstock sandals that I also love. I would highly recommend these shoes.

Comfy cozy. I bought these in three colors. Just what I was looking for in a combination shearling with arch support. Wool upper is so nice and doesn't bother my anti-wool skin. I've even run to the mailbox in them. Love the width. Birkenstock has hit a home run with these.

Great fit and width for very narrow feet. However, the felt upper is very scratchy on bare feet. I’ve to wear socks with these slippers. Almost perfection.

Love this Birkie slipper however it is not narrow and runs exceptionally large. Had to order down two sizes. The length is a touch short but manageable but my foot still swims in it. Kept them anyway and will eventually add another sheepskin innersole to fill up the width.

I really wanted these slippers to work. I wasn't bothered so much with the aesetics so long as they were comfortable and my feet were warm. They were true to size and the narrow width was perfect for my medium width feet. However the ridge under the toe was so uncomfortable I couldn't walk in them without pain. I have Birkenstock sandals which I have worn and better worn but these slippers just hurt. I do have a problem right foot (PF, heel pain and achilles tendonitis) so maybe its me rather than the slipper. They are well made and totally functional. Pity I couldn't keep them. Thank you Zappos for your customer service which is second to none!

great fit, love these slippers, plz keep stocking these shoes!

I'm an long time Birkenstock fan. Bought my first pair of sandals in 1975! Yikes! So these slippers do fit less wide than the regular width but! They fit perfectly for a slipper, i.e. no socks. A little clarification in case it hasn't already been written: the insoles are made in Germany and feel typically wonderful to me. The label doesn't bother me at all. The rest of the slipper (boiled wool) was made in Portuagal and is a little stiff at first. I haven't taken them off since they arrived except to go out for a walk (mandated stay at home slipper these). Thank you Zappos for carrying things not widely found on the net!

I was reluctant to order these since I normally wear a regular in Birkenstocks, not narrow. However, I really can't tell that they are narrow. They fit pretty much like the regular Birkenstocks. They are very cosy! I wear them with socks so the scratchiness that some have commented on is not an issue. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Love these slippers. They fit a bit snug for the first few minutes, and then perfect.

Depending on the style of Birkenstock, I wear a 39 or 40. I chose the 40 and they are perfect. I put them on the minute they were delivered yesterday and they were so comfortable. They fit well and the uppers are more structured than a brand I previously purchased (Giesswein, but they won on cuteness.)
