FAQs
Can I wear these outside?
Yes, the Boston features a durable EVA sole designed for both indoor and outdoor casual wear.
Are these true to size?
Birkenstocks generally have a roomy fit. If you are between sizes, many users prefer to size down for a more secure fit.
Can the shearling lining be replaced?
While the lining is permanent, proper brushing and ventilation will help keep it fresh and prevent matting.
Are they suitable for high arches?
The anatomically shaped footbed is specifically designed to provide significant support for both high and flat arches.
How do I clean the cork sole?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the edges of the cork; you can apply a cork sealer periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
Are they waterproof?
No, the suede and shearling materials are not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain and snow.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period to contour to your foot shape; wear them for an hour or two daily until they soften.
Stains on suede material
Use a dry suede eraser or a soft brush to gently lift surface dirt; avoid using water or heavy soaps as this can damage the suede texture.
Buckle feels loose
Adjust the metal buckle to a tighter hole setting to ensure the strap holds the mule firmly against your instep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Fit: The Boston should feel secure but not tight. Your toes should have enough room to move slightly without hitting the front edge.
Break-in: New Birkenstocks may feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the cork to adapt to your foot.
Suede Care: Brush the suede exterior regularly with a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt. Use a specialized suede protector spray to guard against light moisture.
Shearling Care: Keep the interior dry. If the shearling becomes matted, you can gently use a specialized footwear brush to fluff the fibers back up.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out the cork footbed.
