FAQs

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. The Boston Narrow Fit is designed for a more snug fit, especially around the width. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede footwear in heavy rain or wet conditions as it can damage the material and affect its appearance. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

How often should I use suede protector spray?

It's advisable to apply a colorless impregnation spray shortly after purchasing and then periodically, especially after cleaning or if the shoes have been exposed to moisture. Follow the spray manufacturer's instructions.

Will the cork footbed break down over time?

The cork-latex footbed is durable and designed to last. With proper care, it will maintain its supportive qualities for a long time, molding to your foot's unique shape.

Can the insoles be removed?

The footbed in Birkenstock Boston mules is generally not removable. It is an integral part of the shoe's design for optimal support.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The 'Boston BS' model specifically indicates a narrow fit. While the adjustable strap offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find this model too constricting and may prefer other Birkenstock fits.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always treat with a suede protector after cleaning.

Footbed feels stiff initially

The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot shape over time with regular wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually.

Mules feel too tight or loose

Adjust the metal buckle on the instep strap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Note that this model is designed with a narrower fit.

Soles show signs of wear

The EVA sole is durable but will naturally wear over time. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement if feasible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These mules require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The Boston BS model is designed for adult wear. While the narrow fit is characteristic, the adjustable instep strap allows for some personalization. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, or casual dresses.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a dedicated nubuck/suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the material's nap. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. To protect the suede, treat regularly with a colorless impregnation spray.
  • Drying: After cleaning or getting wet, allow the mules to air dry naturally. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the suede and cork.
  • Footbed Care: The cork-latex footbed can be cleaned with a suitable, mild cleaning agent. Gently wipe away any excess moisture and allow it to dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking the footbed.
  • Footbed Lining: The leather lining can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth if needed, but avoid saturation.
