FAQs
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash your Birkenstocks, as the water and heat will destroy the cork footbed and damage the suede material.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle strap allows for a flexible fit, making them accommodating for many foot widths.
How long do the footbeds last?
With proper care and regular wear, the cork-latex footbed can last for several years. You can also have the outsoles resoled by a professional if they wear down.
Are these unisex?
Yes, while listed with specific sizing, the design of the Boston series is intended for all genders.
Should I wear socks with them?
That is a matter of personal preference; they are comfortable both barefoot and with socks, making them versatile for different seasons.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
The cork-latex requires time to mold to your specific foot shape. Wear them for short intervals indoors for the first week until they soften.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to brush the fibers in one direction, which helps restore the texture and appearance.
Buckle feels loose
Tighten the strap one notch at a time. If the leather has stretched significantly, visit a cobbler to add an extra hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Boston BS clogs is straightforward; use the adjustable metal strap to find a tension level that holds the shoe securely to your foot without cutting off circulation. For maintenance, it is vital to keep the suede away from heavy moisture.
Care Instructions:
- Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material.
- For minor marks, use a soft, slightly damp cloth—never submerge the shoes in water.
- Keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the cork or leather to dry out and crack.
- If the footbed becomes dusty, you can wipe it down with a dry brush or a very lightly dampened cloth.
