FAQs
Are the Birkenstock Boston EVA suitable for wide feet?
The Boston EVA features a wide, rounded toe box which generally accommodates a variety of foot widths. The adjustable strap also allows for some customization.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, many people wear their Boston EVA clogs with socks, especially in cooler weather or for added comfort. The roomy fit usually accommodates this.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a small gap between your longest toe and the front of the clog. Your heel should sit comfortably within the back of the clog. The adjustable strap should allow for a snug but not tight fit.
Are these the same as the classic cork Birkenstocks?
No, the Boston EVA is made from a single piece of lightweight, flexible, and water-friendly EVA material, whereas classic Birkenstocks feature a cork-latex footbed and a more rigid construction.
Can I swim in these?
While the EVA material is water-friendly and quick-drying, they are designed more as casual footwear for walking around wet areas rather than performance swim shoes.
How long does the EVA material typically last?
The durability of EVA varies with usage. With proper care and avoiding excessive heat, they can last for a considerable amount of time for casual wear.
Do they offer arch support?
The Boston EVA features a contoured footbed that provides basic arch support. However, it is generally less structured than the cork footbeds found in other Birkenstock models.
Troubleshooting
Clogs feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the metal buckle on the ankle strap to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure your toes have room to wiggle.
Material feels stiff.
EVA will soften slightly with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in.
Soles making noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new EVA material. Ensure the footbed is clean and dry. The noise may reduce with continued wear.
Clogs appear to have changed shape after sun exposure.
Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat and direct sunlight. If slight deformation has occurred, try placing them in a cool environment and gently reshape them by hand. Significant heat damage may be irreversible.
