FAQs
How do I adjust the fit of the strap?
Loosen or tighten the strap by unbuckling and re-buckling the metal buckle at your desired tightness. This allows for a personalized fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede in wet conditions as it can damage the material and affect its appearance. Always protect suede from moisture.
How long does it take for the footbed to mold to my foot?
The cork footbed typically begins to mold to your foot's unique shape within a few days of regular wear. Full customization may take a couple of weeks.
What is the difference between Boston and Boston BS?
The 'BS' typically indicates the presence of the soft footbed, which includes an extra layer of cushioning (latex foam) integrated into the cork base for enhanced comfort.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to clean off loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these suitable for standing all day?
Yes, the anatomically shaped cork footbed combined with the soft footbed provides excellent support and cushioning, making them suitable for extended periods of standing.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Footbed feels stiff initially
This is normal for cork footbeds, which are designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Strap does not feel secure
Ensure the metal buckle is properly fastened and adjusted. If the strap is still loose, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape, or the strap may need replacement if damaged.
Mules feel slippery on wet surfaces
The EVA outsole provides traction but may be less effective on very wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
