FAQs
Are Birkenstock Boston clogs true to size?
Birkenstock clogs are generally designed for a roomy fit to accommodate the natural spread of the foot. It's recommended to check sizing charts and consider your usual shoe size and foot width. This guide refers to a UK 6.5.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The suede material is not ideal for wet conditions as it can stain and be damaged. It's best to wear these in dry weather or protect them with a suitable suede waterproofing spray.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
What is the benefit of the waxed finish?
The waxed finish on the suede provides a modern aesthetic and can offer a slight degree of protection against minor scuffs and the elements, while maintaining the natural look and feel of the suede.
How long does the footbed take to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual but typically takes anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear. The footbed will gradually conform to the unique contours of your foot.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed provides excellent support, making them comfortable for extended periods of standing or walking for many users.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Footbed feels too firm initially
This is normal. Wear the clogs for short periods initially, allowing the cork footbed to mold to your foot's shape over time. Avoid excessive moisture which can degrade the cork.
Slight color transfer onto socks
This can occasionally happen with dyed suede, especially when new or if exposed to moisture. It typically reduces with wear. Consider wearing darker socks initially.
