FAQs

Are these slippers suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the Boston series is known for its accommodating fit, though it is always best to ensure you have the correct UK size for your specific arch type.

Can I wear these outside?

Absolutely. The Birkenstock Boston is designed as a versatile shoe meant for both indoor and outdoor casual wear.

How long does the break-in process take?

Depending on how often you wear them, it typically takes a few days to two weeks for the footbed to mold to your foot shape.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, you should never put Birkenstocks in the washing machine as the moisture and heat can damage the cork and leather components.

Can I replace the footbed?

While the footbed is designed for long-term use, it is not intended to be user-replaceable. If the footbed wears out, professional cobblers can often perform a resole.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too hard initially

This is normal for new Birkenstocks; wear them for an hour or two at a time over the first week to allow the cork-based footbed to break in.

Difficulty cleaning the surface

Use a specialized suede or leather brush for dry debris, and avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your Birkenstock Bostons, the footbed will feel quite firm. It is recommended to wear them for short intervals during the first few days to allow the material to gradually conform to the unique shape of your foot. Regarding compatibility, the neutral beige color is highly versatile, matching well with denim, cotton chinos, or lounge wear. To maintain your slippers, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the materials. If they become dirty, spot-clean the exterior with a dry brush or a slightly dampened cloth, ensuring they air-dry completely before their next use.
