FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. They are designed for casual dry weather or indoor use and should not be submerged in water.
How long does it take to break them in?
Most users find that the footbed begins to feel personalized after about 1-2 weeks of regular, short-duration wear.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the Boston Nova design is perfect for pairing with socks during cooler weather to provide extra warmth.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the cork from drying out or the leather from fading.
Is the footbed replaceable?
While the footbeds are designed to be extremely durable, they are integrated into the shoe's construction and are not intended to be replaced.
Do these run true to size?
Birkenstocks generally follow standard sizing, but because of the adjustable buckle, they can accommodate minor variations in foot volume.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too hard during initial wear.
This is normal. Wear the clogs for short periods around the house to allow the cork to warm and gradually mold to your foot shape.
The buckle is digging into the top of the foot.
Adjust the strap to a looser setting and ensure the leather is not being folded or bunched under the buckle mechanism.
Surface scuffing on the upper.
Use a specialized suede or leather brush to gently buff the textured material and restore the original look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Boston Nova clogs last for many seasons, start by adjusting the strap buckle so the shoe fits snugly without feeling restrictive. For care, avoid exposing the cork to excessive water or high heat, such as direct sunlight or radiators, as this can degrade the natural materials. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the textured upper. If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these processes will irreparably damage the structural integrity of the cork and leather components.
