FAQs
Are these true to size?
Birkenstock sizes are typically consistent, but the adjustable strap allows you to fine-tune the fit for your specific foot width.
Can I wear these in the rain?
No, it is best to avoid getting your suede Birkenstocks wet, as water can damage the texture of the suede and affect the cork footbed.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
Your toes should not touch the front rim, and your heel should sit comfortably in the deep heel cup without overlapping the edges.
Do I need to wear socks with them?
You can wear them either with or without socks depending on your preference and the weather.
How long do they last?
With proper care and occasional replacement of the outsole if worn down, Birkenstocks are known for their long lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels hard during initial wear
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Continue wearing them for short intervals to allow the natural heat from your feet to soften and mold the materials.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a suede brush or an eraser designed for suede to gently buff the surface and restore the nap of the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior long-term comfort through personalized footbed molding
- Highly versatile design suitable for various casual settings
- Easy to slip on and off for quick transitions
- Adjustable strap ensures a secure fit for different foot volumes
Cons
- Suede material is sensitive to moisture and water damage
- Open-heel design offers less stability than a full shoe
- Initial break-in period required for the cork footbed
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Boston clogs last, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Phase: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the cork to adapt to your foot.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid direct exposure to rain or water. Treat the suede with a protective spray designed for suede leathers.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. If the cork edge becomes dry, a thin layer of sealant can be applied.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can crack the cork footbed.
