FAQs

Are these sandals true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the footbed is designed to accommodate different widths via the adjustable strap.

Can I wear these with socks?

Absolutely, many users prefer wearing them with socks for extra warmth, which also aids in the initial break-in process.

How do I clean the footbed?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the surface. Avoid using excessive water as it can damage the cork.

Are these suitable for people with flat feet?

The anatomical arch support is designed to help maintain natural foot alignment, which many find beneficial, but consult a podiatrist if you have specific medical requirements.

Can I replace the footbed?

While the footbed is a permanent part of the shoe construction, authorized repair centers can often provide professional resoling services.

Why is the sole material cork?

Cork is a sustainable, lightweight, and shock-absorbent material that provides excellent thermal insulation and long-term durability.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too hard during the first wear

This is normal; wear the sandals for short intervals initially to allow the cork to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Suede has water stains

Allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct heat, then use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

Strap feels loose or tight

Adjust the metal buckle to a different hole setting to achieve the desired tension across the bridge of your foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent arch support for long-term wear
  • High-quality, durable suede material
  • Footbed custom-molds to the user's foot over time
  • Versatile unisex aesthetic suitable for various outfits

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and water
  • Rigid structure may feel stiff to first-time Birkenstock wearers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Birkenstock Boston BS lasts, start by adjusting the strap to sit snugly across your instep without restricting circulation. Because these sandals feature a suede upper, they should be kept away from heavy rain or water submersion. If the suede becomes dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris. For the cork footbed, keep it dry to prevent degradation of the natural materials. If the cork edges appear dry over time, a thin coat of cork sealer can be applied to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking. Store the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can warp the cork footbed.
