Birkenstock Boston Slippers & Sandals - Brown - 8

No, the cork-latex footbed and leather or suede uppers are not designed to be submerged in water.

Birkenstocks generally run true to size, but ensure your toes have enough space to move freely in the front footbed area.

Yes, the Boston is frequently worn with socks, especially in cooler weather, due to its closed-toe design.

With proper care and regular cleaning, the cork footbed can provide support for several years of consistent wear.

The sole is crafted from EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), which is a lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing material.

While not a standard DIY task, professional cobblers can often refurbish or replace worn-out Birkenstock footbeds.

This is normal; wear them for short periods at home until the cork warms up and slowly conforms to your foot shape.

Adjust the pin buckle to a tighter hole setting until the sandal stays securely in place while walking.

Apply a light layer of Birkenstock-approved cork sealer to protect the material from moisture and prevent cracking.
