FAQs
Are Birkenstock Boston clogs true to size?
Birkenstock generally recommends choosing a size that allows for a snug fit without being tight, with a bit of space at the toe and heel. If you are between sizes, it's often advised to try the larger size, especially considering the break-in period.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the texture. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water extensively on suede.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The suede material is not designed for wet conditions and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in rain or snow.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how frequently you wear them. The cork footbed will gradually conform to the unique shape of your foot.
What is the main difference between the regular and soft footbed?
The soft footbed (SFB) version includes an added layer of foam cushioning within the cork footbed, providing a plusher and more immediate comfort compared to the standard cork footbed.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
The anatomically shaped cork footbed offers good arch support, which can be beneficial for many individuals, including those with flat feet. However, individual needs may vary.
What materials are the Birkenstock Boston SFB made from?
The upper is made of suede, the footbed lining is leather, the midsole is cork, and the outsole is EVA.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a suede brush to gently brush the affected area and restore the nap. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Footbed feels uncomfortable or stiff
Allow for a break-in period of a few days to a week. The cork footbed will gradually mold to your foot's shape.
Sizing feels slightly off
Birkenstock recommends a snug fit, but not tight, with a small gap between your toes and the edge of the footbed. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size, as the break-in period can also affect initial feel.
Clogs get wet
Gently pat dry with a soft cloth and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the suede.
