FAQs
How do I know if the narrow fit is right for me?
The narrow fit is best suited for individuals with slimmer feet. If you typically find standard-width shoes to feel too roomy or your heel slips, the narrow fit might be a good option. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear the suede Boston LEVE in wet conditions. Suede and cork are sensitive to moisture and can be damaged. It's best to wear them in dry weather or use appropriate waterproofing sprays specifically designed for suede, though this may alter the appearance slightly.
How long does it take for the footbed to break in?
The break-in period can vary from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how often you wear them. Initially, you might feel the arch support prominently, but with consistent wear, the footbed will adapt to your foot's contours.
Are these shoes suitable for standing all day?
Yes, the anatomically designed cork footbed provides excellent support and cushioning, making the Boston LEVE a very comfortable choice for long periods of standing.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft suede brush to regularly remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions carefully.
What is the difference between the LEVE and regular Boston models?
The LEVE designation indicates a narrower fit compared to the standard Birkenstock Boston models, offering a more snug fit for individuals with slimmer feet.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. The footbed will soften and conform to your unique foot shape.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner according to product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too loose despite being the correct size
Adjust the buckle strap to tighten the instep area for a more secure fit. The narrow fit is intended to be snugger.
Cork footbed getting wet
Avoid wearing in heavy rain or puddles. If the footbed becomes wet, allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult wear and are suitable for most casual environments. They pair well with jeans, shorts, casual trousers, and skirts.
Care:
- Suede Upper: To clean, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
- Cork Footbed: Wipe the footbed with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally if it becomes damp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede from fading or drying out. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the shoe.
