FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the lambskin footbed and fur lining?
The natural lambskin footbed and fur lining provide exceptional warmth and comfort, making these sandals ideal for cooler weather and indoor use.
Is the narrow fit suitable for everyone?
The narrow fit is specifically designed for individuals with slimmer feet. If you have wider feet, this model may feel too snug.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. It's recommended to protect the suede with a suitable protector spray.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear suede and natural fur in wet conditions as it can damage the materials and affect their appearance and insulation properties.
Will the footbed change shape over time?
Yes, the natural cork footbed is designed to contour to the shape of your foot with consistent wear, providing personalized support and comfort.
Are these suitable as outdoor shoes?
While they can be worn for short outdoor trips in dry conditions, they are primarily designed for comfort and warmth as house slippers or casual wear, rather than rugged outdoor footwear.
What is the main difference between this and other Boston models?
This specific model is the 'Narrow Fit' version, indicated by its design tailored for slimmer feet, and features a suede upper with natural lambskin and fur lining for enhanced warmth.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is normal. The natural cork footbed is designed to mold to the unique shape of your foot with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually.
Fur lining is damp
Gently blot excess moisture with a dry cloth. Allow the sandals to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
Slipping sensation due to narrow fit
Ensure your socks, if worn, are thin. The narrow fit is intentional; if it feels too tight, this model may not be the best fit. Consider if a wider fit model is available or if the break-in period will suffice.

Care:
