Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Boston Print LEVE is designed for adults seeking a versatile, year-round footwear option that prioritizes long-term foot health and comfort. Its primary benefit is the iconic, ergonomically shaped cork-latex footbed that adapts to your stride, providing excellent support for extended wear. Please note that as a clog-style shoe, it may require a brief break-in period for the footbed to fully mold to your specific arch and heel shape.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally align with standard adult sizing, though the adjustable strap allows for fine-tuning based on foot width.
Can I wear these with socks?
Absolutely; the Boston silhouette is a classic choice for pairing with socks during cooler months.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, and your heel should sit securely in the deep heel cup.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the materials used are not waterproof and should be kept dry to prevent damage to the cork and upper finish.
How often should I replace the footbed?
With proper care, the footbed can last for years; if the structural support breaks down significantly, consider professional refurbishment.
Can I use these for hiking?
These are casual shoes and are not designed for rugged, uneven hiking trails.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
This is normal; the cork-latex compound requires heat and pressure from your feet over several days of wear to become flexible.
Buckle strap is slipping
Ensure the buckle prong is fully engaged in the desired hole; if it continues to slip, check for debris or worn eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Avoid Water: Do not submerge the shoes in water; if they get wet, air dry them slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper suede or patterned material gently with a soft brush to remove dust and surface debris.
- Footbed Maintenance: Use a specialist cork sealer if the cork edges appear dry or lose their original sheen over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and natural materials.
