FAQs
Are these clogs true to size?
Birkenstock sizing can sometimes differ from standard shoe sizes. It's generally recommended to consult the official Birkenstock size guide and measure your foot to ensure the best fit. Some users find they run slightly large.
Can I wear these outside in the rain or snow?
No, the suede upper and shearling lining are not designed for wet conditions. Exposure to rain or snow can damage the material and potentially cause irreversible staining or matting. They are best suited for dry, cool environments.
How do I clean the shearling lining?
For light cleaning, gently brush the shearling to remove debris and fluff. For deeper cleaning, use a small amount of a mild wool or shearling cleaner diluted in water, applied with a soft cloth, and then air dry. Avoid saturating the shearling.
Is the footbed removable?
No, the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed in the Birkenstock Boston Shearling clogs is integrated into the design and is not designed to be removable.
What is the best way to break in the footbed?
To properly break in your Birkenstock footbed, wear them for short intervals initially (e.g., 30 minutes to 1 hour) each day. Gradually increase the wear time as your feet adjust. This process allows the footbed to mold to your unique foot shape for maximum comfort and support.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, many people enjoy wearing the Birkenstock Boston Shearling without socks for direct contact with the soft shearling. However, wearing socks can help keep the shearling cleaner and extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Follow up with a suede cleaner if needed.
Shearling lining appears matted or flattened
Gently brush the shearling with a soft-bristled brush (like a pet brush or a soft shoe brush) to fluff it up. Avoid excessive pressure.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially
The anatomically shaped footbed requires a break-in period. Wear your clogs for short durations (e.g., 30 minutes to an hour) each day for the first few weeks, gradually increasing wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot for a customized fit.
Clogs feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have the correct size. Birkenstock footbeds are designed to provide space. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable after the break-in period, consult a sizing guide or consider trying a different size.
Suede has water stains
Allow the clogs to dry completely at room temperature. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently raise the nap. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner designed for watermarks may be necessary. Prevention is key: use a water-repellent spray.

Care Instructions:
- Suede Care: To maintain the appearance of the suede upper, regularly use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following the product's instructions. Always allow the clogs to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Shearling Care: The shearling lining can be gently brushed with a soft brush to fluff it up if it becomes matted. Avoid harsh rubbing. If cleaning is needed, use a mild wool or shearling cleaner sparingly.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Moisture: Prolonged exposure to water or excessive moisture can damage both the suede and shearling. These clogs are not recommended for heavy rain or snow.
- Storage: When not in use, store your clogs in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
