Women's BIRKENSTOCK Uppsala Zippered Boots

When the forecast turns cold and the sidewalks turn slushy, the BIRKENSTOCK Uppsala Zippered is the boot you'll reach for first. It takes the comfort BIRKENSTOCK is known for and wraps it in a cozy mid-calf silhouette, so your feet stay warm and supported from the first frosty morning of fall to the last gray day of winter. Design and materials. The upper is made from especially soft suede that fits closely around your foot and ankle, giving the boot a clean, polished shape. Inside, a warm genuine shearling lining surrounds your foot, and moisture-absorbing lambskin lines the shaft to help keep things comfortable as you move between the cold outdoors and a warm building. A zipper makes it easy to slide the boot on and off, which you'll appreciate when you're heading out the door in a hurry or kicking off your boots at the end of the day. The boot is made in Portugal. Footbed and comfort. Underfoot, you get a removable, anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed with a suede lining. Cork is an insulating, well-cushioned material harvested from the bark of the cork oak, so it adds a layer of warmth between you and the cold ground while delivering the contoured support BIRKENSTOCK fans love. Because the footbed is removable, it's easy to air it out after a long day. Below that, a light sole with a TR (thermo rubber) outsole adds grip and durability for everyday winter errands. How to style it. This is a boot that plays well with nearly everything in a cold-weather closet. Pair it with dark denim and a chunky cable-knit sweater for a weekend look, or tuck slim leggings into the mid-calf shaft and add a long wool coat for a sleek, streamlined outline. It also works with a sweater dress and opaque tights when you want something a little dressier for dinner out or a holiday gathering. Finish with a knit beanie and a scarf and you're ready for whatever the day brings. Where to wear it. Think school drop-off, the morning commute, weekend coffee runs, Saturday shopping trips and apres-ski lounging at the lodge. The Uppsala Zippered is built for real days in cold weather, when you want warmth and comfort without giving up a clean, put-together look. Because the zipper makes it so quick to get on and off, it's also a smart pick for travel days and airport security lines. Care tips. Keep the suede looking its best by brushing it regularly with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove dry dirt. Treat the boots with a suede protector before wearing them in wet or snowy conditions, and let them air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat, if they get damp. Keep in mind that suede is a natural material, so slight variations in texture from boot to boot are normal and part of its character.

Regular width is the roomier fit, while Narrow offers a slimmer fit through the foot; check the size selector to see which widths are offered for this style. When you try them on, your heel should sit comfortably at the back of the footbed and your toes should have a little room before the front edge, without pressing against it or hanging over. If you plan to wear this style with socks, keep that extra thickness in mind when choosing your size. Between sizes? Our fit experts suggest ordering the next size up.
