FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but since they are designed to mold to your foot, ensure there is a small amount of space at both the heel and toe.
Can I wear these with socks?
Absolutely. Wearing them with socks is a popular way to break them in and adds extra warmth in cooler weather.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the flexibility of the materials.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are not designed to be waterproof and should be kept away from excessive moisture to protect the cork and leather.
What if the cork starts to look dry?
You can apply a thin layer of cork sealant to the exposed edges of the footbed to keep them hydrated and prevent cracking.
Is the footbed supposed to be hard?
The footbed is designed to be firm to provide orthopedic support; it will gradually soften with wear.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for 1-2 hours a day around the house until the cork begins to conform to your feet.
Strap buckle is digging into the skin
Adjust the buckle one hole looser to accommodate the thickness of your socks or foot width.
Visible wear on the sole edges
This is expected after heavy use. Consider taking them to a cobbler to have the outsoles professionally replaced to extend the life of the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Boston shoes last for years, start by adjusting the buckle so the strap is snug but not restrictive. Avoid exposing your shoes to extreme heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight in a hot car, as this can cause the cork footbed to dry out and crack. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the uppers and wipe the footbed with a damp cloth if necessary. For leather versions, apply a neutral leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
