FAQs

How do I clean the suede upper?

Gently brush with a suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser. Protect from excessive moisture and water.

Is the soft footbed suitable for all foot types?

The anatomically shaped soft footbed offers excellent support for most adult feet, including arch support. It is designed for all-day comfort.

Can I wear these clogs in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede clogs in wet weather as water can damage the material and affect its appearance and durability.

How long does it take for the clogs to break in?

The break-in period varies per individual. Typically, the cork footbed begins to mold to your foot within a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.

Are these clogs unisex?

Yes, the BIRKENSTOCK Boston clogs are designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.

What is the sole made of?

The outsole is made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), a durable and flexible material that provides cushioning and traction.

Can the strap be removed?

The strap with the metal pin buckle is integral to the clog's design and cannot be removed.

Troubleshooting

Clogs feel too tight or loose

Adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. The suede upper will also conform to your foot over time.

Suede material looks dull or has minor stains

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Footbed feels stiff initially

This is normal as the cork footbed conforms to your foot shape. Wear the clogs for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to break them in.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

Ensure the EVA sole is clean and dry. If significant slippage occurs, consider a professional resoling with a more aggressive tread pattern if available.
