Customer Reviews Birkenstock Boston Icy Metallic Birko-Flor™

I live in Birkenstocks clogs everyday, so I was excited when they came out with something new, and in purple!! The best way to describe the finish on these is chameleon, and amazing. You turn your foot slightly and the leather changes from purple to blue with hints of green. FUN, FUN,FUN!!

I have several other pairs of this exact same shoe only in a different colors. Birkenstocks are the only shoes I wear. I loved the new color of these but the foot bed is shorter and narrowed than the others I have (measured the bottom tread). Same style and same size so something must have changed. Have to return these. I'm still giving 4 stars though because I love the Birkies overalll and the comfort.

OMG I love these Birkenstock clogs. I wore them to work the other day and decided that I never want to take them off! So comfortable. Don't hesitate, buy them today!

Birkenstock’s are the only shoes that really feel good on my feet. I needed something new going into fall. These shoes are gorgeous and I expect that I am going to get a lot of compliments on them.

I have been wearing Birkenstock shoes and sandals for years and was so excited to change up the color to something fun. They will definitely be my “go to” shoes during the colder months.

I just received these 2 days ago. I have wanted this style for a long time and the Anthracite color is perfect with jeans. A touch of awesome and unique. Not too shiny either. Just a rich unexpected color. I have been wearing my Mayari and Arizona sandals so something closed in feels a little different but the fit of the shoe more than balances the difference in feel. I am wearing them around the house to get used to the style and they are wonderful. There is more leather covering my foot but I plan to wear them with socks for fall into the winter so they are perfect. I am a loyal fan of Birkenstock products and their quality construction and these do not disappoint. I appreciate Zappos customer service as well as their ability to bring us the newest styles in whatever brand we may chose.

Absolutely love these. They run true to my regular Birkenstock sizing. The color is a pretty, shimmery grey. Very happy with them.

I ordered these b/c of the gorgeous, luminiscent blue - they are even prettier, in person. I haven't worn Birkies in years b/c they are so clunky-looking. They fit well and would be comfortable after I'd gotten used to the clunkiness! I am returning them b/c I would just feel too limited as to where I could actually wear them. Plus, my husband kept asking "Where do you plug those things in?"

I have narrow feet, especially in the heel, and these narrow width Birkenstocks work great for me. I do have the straps buckled to the last (smallest) hole, and they stay on my feet without sliding while still feeling roomy and comfortable in the toe box. Great color that changes in the sunlight!

Loved the color but they are too narrow and they also seem 1/2 size smaller. I know they are marked narrow but they seem to be extra slim.

Very stiff!!! !!!! may have to take it to the shoe repair to see what can be done

Awesome wore right out of box totally perfect fit

Love them! I have flat feet, and my physical therapist recommended I try Birkenstocks. First pair was some Arizona sandals with the soft foot bed. Took about a week to feel good. These Boston's arrived, and weirdly felt right from the moment I put them on, even though I've heard about the dreaded "breaking in" period. Love the color...just a little sassy...as one reviewer noted, looks great with jeans.

Hi, this is a follow up to my review. The size, fit, and comfort are perfect. I did have a problem with the stiffness of the leather. I could not get to soften up. I did buy a leather treatment that I could use on the inside and outside. Yay, it worked. One more pair to add to my collection. Hope this helps.

Love this shoe! The violet color is so fun!

Super cute and comfortable! Sassy blue color- love it! This is my 3 rd pair of Birkenstocks??

Normally, I wear a 41 regular width Birkenstock sandal (models that are open toe). My foot tends to be on the narrow side with a high arch. With the Boston model, I tried on a 41 and it was too wide and a little short. So I ordered the 42 narrow and it is perfect, not too narrow, with just enough rooms to wear socks in the colder months. Love the metallic color, nice bling but not over the top.

Perfect for my 7 Med. foot. Gorgeous color!!

I normally love Birkenstock’s and have several pairs and bought these for they’re pretty color. But the bar behind my toes is raised too high and feels uncomfortable, so sadly I’ll have to send back.

Not for a low instep. I kept the shoes. Had to”buckle in” to stay on my foot. Love the color. Not for low insteps.

I've only worn the shoes twice around the house and the front is starting to discolor/rub off.

I was so excited about these shoes, but as a previous reviewer noted the footed is very narrow. I don't wear a wide width, but these just are not comfortable. Very disappointing.

These make me feel like I might fall because I might walk out of them - too wide. I am sending back.

Width-wise, these are perfect. I don't have wide feet but I typically like a roomy shoe. These weren't roomy but definitely not snug. Length-wise, they are half a size too small. I could feel my toes hitting where the edging meets the top of the shoe. I got the violet and the color was stunning but sadly they are going back.

I love Birkenstock. I will only wear Vivobarefoot and Birkenstock products any more because I have a wide foot and cramming my toes into shoes just seems ridiculous. I cannot get behind Birkenstock's new 'narrow' foot bed that supposedly will work for wider feet as well. I tried a pair of these out and found that my foot fall and gait were entirely different in the narrow version. I would not say that it was uncomfortable and there was in fact plenty of room for my toes to wiggle, but the foot bed itself was drastically different and felt unnatural to walk in. I really wish Birkenstock would stick with what they are good at and cater to a more natural foot profile. People who say they have narrow feet usually have narrow feet because they have been wearing too narrow of a shoe for their entire life and their foot molds to the shoe. These are no different. Just sayin'.
