FAQs
Are these mules suitable for wide feet?
The Birkenstock Boston BS features a regular fit which is generally accommodating. The adjustable strap allows for some customization, but extremely wide feet might find them snug without additional adjustment.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
Wipe the cork footbed with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the EVA outsole offers some protection, the suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.
What is the purpose of the integrated latex foam?
The integrated latex foam in the footbed provides an extra layer of softness and cushioning, enhancing immediate comfort upon wearing the mules.
How long does the cork footbed take to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear for the cork footbed to fully conform to your foot's unique shape.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Suede upper looks dull or has minor marks.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For persistent marks, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
This is normal. The cork footbed will gradually mold to the shape of your foot with wear, becoming more comfortable over time.
Straps do not feel secure.
Adjust the buckle on the strap to tighten the fit. Ensure the strap is correctly threaded through the buckle.
Mules feel slightly large or small.
While these are a regular fit, slight adjustments can be made with socks. For significant fit issues, consider a different size or width if available.
