FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the suede material and cork footbed are not waterproof. They should be protected from rain and significant moisture.

How do I know my size?

Birkenstock sizes are based on standard European sizing. It is recommended to check the specific UK size conversion for your model.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, the Boston clog is very popular for being worn with socks, providing extra warmth and style during cooler weather.

Is the sole replaceable?

While the sole is durable, it is best to consult an authorized cobbler if the EVA outsole wears down significantly over years of use.

How do I prevent the cork from drying out?

Keep the clogs away from excessive heat and avoid soaking them in water, which can degrade the natural cork-latex composition.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too stiff initially

The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors until the material softens and molds to your arch.

Visible dirt on suede upper

Use a dry suede eraser or a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift surface stains and restore the nap of the material.

Strap buckle feeling loose

Re-adjust the strap to the desired hole and ensure the buckle prong is fully engaged in the strap slot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When first trying on your Birkenstock Boston clogs, ensure the strap is adjusted to a comfortable tension—it should feel secure but not restrictive. To maintain the Antique White suede, it is highly recommended to use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a water-repellent spray before first use to prevent staining. Avoid exposing the cork footbed to direct heat sources like radiators or extreme sunlight, as this can cause the material to dry out or crack. Clean the footbed periodically with a damp cloth if necessary, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area.
