FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Boston Shearling clogs?
Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser or cleaner can be applied. Always finish with a suede protector spray to maintain water resistance.
Are these clogs true to size?
Birkenstock sizing tends to be generous. It's often recommended to check their official size guide or try them on if possible. This particular pair is a UK 8.
Can I wear them outdoors?
Yes, the durable EVA outsole provides excellent traction for casual outdoor use. However, due to the suede upper and shearling lining, they are best suited for dry conditions.
Are they suitable for all seasons?
Due to the genuine shearling lining, these clogs are primarily designed for colder seasons, providing exceptional warmth and coziness. They may be too warm for summer.
What if the cork footbed gets wet?
Avoid submerging the cork footbed in water. If it gets damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Excessive moisture can damage the cork material.
How long does the footbed last?
The lifespan of the footbed depends on frequency of wear and care. With proper maintenance, Birkenstock footbeds are designed to last a long time, and many can be professionally re-soled or repaired.
Is the shearling lining real?
Yes, the Birkenstock Boston Shearling features a genuine shearling lining, providing natural warmth and a soft feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and revive the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser or cleaner can be applied sparingly, followed by brushing.
Shearling lining feels matted or compressed
Gently brush the shearling with a soft brush or a specific wool brush to fluff up the fibers and restore its softness.
Footbed feels hard or uncomfortable initially
The Birkenstock cork-latex footbed requires a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time; the footbed will mold to the shape of your feet for personalized comfort.
Strong odor developing in the footbed
Allow the clogs to air out between wears. If odor persists, sprinkle baking soda on the footbed overnight, then shake it out the next morning. Specialized footbed refreshers can also be used.
Sole separation or cork cracking
Birkenstock cork footbeds and soles are durable but can wear over time. For significant damage, it's recommended to consult a professional shoe repair specialist or Birkenstock's authorized repair services.

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Birkenstock Boston Shearling clogs, follow these care instructions:
Care Instructions
- Suede Upper: Regularly brush the suede with a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, gently dab with a suede cleaner. It is highly recommended to apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains.
- Shearling Lining: Over time, the shearling may compress or mat down. Gently brush it with a soft brush or a specialized wool brush to fluff it up and maintain its texture.
- Cork-Latex Footbed: The footbed can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the footbed in water. If the footbed becomes visibly dirty, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by thorough drying away from direct heat.
- EVA Outsole: The outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
- General Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat (like direct sunlight or car interiors) as this can dry out and damage the cork. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
