FAQs
Are the Boston clogs true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard sizing, though the footbed shape is designed to accommodate a natural spread of the toes.
Can I wear these with socks?
Absolutely. The Boston clog is a popular choice for pairing with socks during cooler weather.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should have enough space to move without hitting the front edge.
Is the footbed removable?
No, the footbed is integrated into the structure of the clog and is not designed to be removed.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Many users with flat feet find the anatomical arch support helpful, but it is recommended to consult with a podiatrist if you have specific medical requirements.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is normal; wear the shoes for 1-2 hours at a time during the first week to allow the cork to mold to your feet.
Surface dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a dry sponge to gently buff the affected area in the direction of the nap.
The cork edges are becoming dry
Apply a thin layer of cork sealer to the exposed cork edges to maintain elasticity and prevent cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Birkenstock Boston sandals, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the sandals for short intervals initially to allow the cork to adapt to your foot anatomy.
- Suede Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or dirt from the suede surface to prevent matting.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, as moisture can compromise the cork and suede materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the cork to dry out or crack.
- Strap Adjustment: Check the metal buckle regularly to ensure it remains tight for optimal ankle stability.
