FAQs
Can I wear these clogs in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede footwear in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can stain and damage the material. The EVA sole offers some water resistance, but the suede upper is the primary concern.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
The cork footbed can be cleaned by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the cork. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do these clogs come in other colors or materials?
Yes, the BIRKENSTOCK Boston clog is available in a variety of colors and materials, including different types of leather and suede, as well as EVA versions.
Is the foam layer in the footbed removable?
No, the foam layer is integrated into the soft footbed and is not designed to be removed.
How long does it take for the footbed to mold to my foot?
The break-in period can vary but typically takes a week or two of consistent wear for the footbed to fully conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
Birkenstock footwear generally offers a natural, somewhat generous fit. The adjustable strap can help accommodate different foot widths, but individuals with very wide feet might find the regular fit more comfortable than narrow options.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time as they break in.
Suede upper looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Strap buckle feels loose or tight
Adjust the metal pin buckle to your preferred tightness. Ensure the pin is securely set in one of the buckle's holes.
Clogs feel slightly large or small
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Birkenstock clogs are designed to have some room in the toe box. If the fit is significantly off, consider exchanging for a different size.
