FAQs
Are Birkenstock Boston clogs true to size?
Generally, yes, but because they are often worn with socks, some users prefer to ensure their regular size allows enough room for a comfortable fit without the toes hitting the front rim.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede can be damaged by water, and the cork footbed should not be saturated.
How do I maintain the cork footbed?
Keep the cork sealed by avoiding extreme heat and cleaning the surface with a damp cloth if necessary. Over many years, the edges may require cork sealant if they appear dry.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Many users with flat feet find the anatomical arch support of the Boston model to be highly beneficial compared to standard flat-soled footwear.
Can the insoles be replaced?
The footbed is integrated into the construction of the clog and is not intended to be removed or replaced by the user.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm or hard initially
This is normal; wear the shoes for short periods daily to allow the cork and latex to gradually mold to the shape of your foot.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a crepe brush to restore the nap and lift the fibers back to their original texture.
Strap buckle feels loose
Ensure the prong is securely engaged in the hole and check that the hardware has not been bent; the adjustable strap is designed for personal tension preference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Boston clogs, ensure the strap is adjusted to a comfortable tension—it should feel secure without pinching your skin. Because these are made of suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. To clean the suede, use a suede brush to gently lift dirt and remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the clogs in water, as this can degrade the cork footbed and damage the suede material. If the footbed becomes dusty, you can use a damp cloth to wipe it clean, but keep the shoe away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the cork to dry out and crack.
