FAQs

How do I find my correct Birkenstock size?

Birkenstock uses European sizing. It's best to measure your foot and refer to the official Birkenstock sizing guide, as their sizing can differ from standard UK or US shoe sizes. Your toes should not touch the edge, and your heel should sit comfortably in the heel cup.

Can I wear my Birkenstock Boston Clogs in wet weather?

It is not recommended. The oiled nubuck leather and cork footbed are not designed to be waterproof. Excessive exposure to water can damage the materials, leading to drying, cracking, and deterioration.

How often should I clean the footbed?

The suede footbed lining can be cleaned as needed. For regular maintenance, brush it with a soft brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution and allow it to air dry.

Do these clogs offer good arch support?

Yes, the Birkenstock Boston features an anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed specifically designed to provide superior arch support, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box, promoting natural foot alignment and comfort.

What is the 'open-selvage finish' on the leather?

The 'open-selvage finish' means the edges of the leather upper are left raw and unfinished, giving the clog a more rustic, natural, and authentic look. This is a deliberate design choice that contributes to the unique character of the oiled nubuck leather.

Can I resole my Birkenstock Boston Clogs?

Yes, Birkenstock offers resoling and repair services for many of their models, including the Boston. This can significantly extend the lifespan of your clogs. It's recommended to seek professional Birkenstock repair services for best results.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels uncomfortable or hard initially.

This is normal for new Birkenstocks. The cork-latex footbed needs a break-in period to mold to your unique foot shape. Start by wearing them for a few hours a day and gradually increase the wear time.

Leather appears dry, scratched, or loses its rich color.

The oiled nubuck leather can dry out over time. Use a specialized nubuck leather conditioner or oil to rehydrate and restore its appearance. Gently brush out minor scratches with a nubuck brush.

Clogs feel too loose or too tight.

Adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap. Ensure your foot is properly seated in the footbed, then tighten or loosen the strap until you achieve a comfortable, secure fit without pinching.

Footbed has an odor.

Odors can develop from moisture and bacteria. Air out your clogs regularly. You can also use a mixture of baking soda and water (paste) applied to the suede lining, letting it dry, then brushing it off. Odor-absorbing inserts can also help.

Cork looks cracked or is flaking.

The cork footbed is sealed to protect it. If the sealant wears off, the cork can dry and crack. Apply Birkenstock Cork Sealer to protect and condition the cork. This should be done periodically as preventative maintenance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional all-day comfort due to the molding footbed.
  • Durable, high-quality materials that improve with age.
  • Adjustable strap ensures a customizable and secure fit.
  • Versatile design suitable for year-round wear.
  • Provides excellent arch support and promotes foot health.

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the footbed to conform to your foot.
  • Oiled nubuck leather requires specific care and cleaning.
  • Not suitable for wet environments or heavy-duty outdoor activities.
  • The open-backed clog design may not be preferred by all users.
  • Can feel bulky for those accustomed to lighter footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure you get the most out of your Birkenstock Boston Clogs, proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care are essential.

Setup

  1. Adjust the Buckle: Before your first wear, or if the fit feels off, adjust the metal pin buckle. Place your foot fully into the clog. The strap should be snug enough to hold your foot securely without feeling tight or causing pressure points. Ensure there's a slight space around your foot, allowing for natural movement.
  2. Break-in Period: Birkenstock footbeds are designed to mold to your unique foot shape. This process typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of intermittent wear. Start by wearing them for a few hours at a time, gradually increasing the duration. The initial stiffness will soften, and the footbed will conform for personalized comfort.

Compatibility

  • Unisex Design: The Birkenstock Boston is a unisex style, suitable for both men and women.
  • Wardrobe: These clogs pair well with a wide range of casual attire. Think jeans, khakis, linen trousers, skirts, casual dresses, and shorts. They are excellent for everyday wear, including at home, in casual offices, or for weekend activities.
  • Foot Type: The anatomically shaped footbed supports most foot types, providing arch support and stability.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Boston Clogs.

  1. Oiled Nubuck Leather Upper: To clean, gently brush off dirt with a soft brush (like a suede brush). For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, rubbing gently. After cleaning, you may wish to apply a leather conditioner specifically for nubuck or oiled leathers to keep it supple and prevent drying. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  2. Cork Footbed: The cork is sealed to protect it from moisture. Over time, this sealant can wear down. Inspect the cork periodically; if it looks dry or cracked, apply a thin layer of Birkenstock Cork Sealer. To clean the suede footbed lining, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Allow to air dry.
  3. EVA Sole: The EVA sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
  4. General Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat (e.g., direct sunlight in a car) as this can dry out and crack the cork or leather. Keep away from excessive water, as this can damage the leather and footbed. If clogs get wet, allow them to air dry slowly.
  5. Storage: Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
