FAQs
Are the Birkenstock Boston BS Slides true to size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from other brands. It's recommended to measure your foot and consult Birkenstock's sizing chart, paying attention to the narrow width indication for this model.
How do I clean the oiled leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper care, a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner for oiled leather is recommended. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the oiled leather offers some protection, these sandals are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to preserve the materials.
What is the main difference between the regular footbed and the soft footbed (BS)?
The Soft Footbed (BS) includes an extra layer of latex cushioning integrated into the cork-latex footbed, providing enhanced comfort and a plusher feel compared to the standard footbed.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
With proper care, the cork footbed is very durable. Many users find they last for several years of regular wear before needing replacement, though this can vary based on usage and care.
Can I replace the footbed if it wears out?
Yes, Birkenstock footbeds are often replaceable. If the footbed wears down significantly, you can often purchase a replacement directly from Birkenstock or authorized retailers.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
The anatomically shaped footbed provides good support for standing and moderate walking. For very long distances or strenuous activities, other footwear designed specifically for those purposes might be more suitable.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear duration to allow them to break in.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a small amount of Birkenstock's own leather balm or a conditioner specifically designed for oiled leather. Buff gently with a soft cloth.
Sandals feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal buckle on the strap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the foot sits correctly within the anatomically shaped footbed.
Water damage to the leather or footbed.
If the sandals get wet, blot away excess moisture immediately with a dry cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid submerging them in water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Birkenstock Boston BS Slides require no assembly. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready to wear. Adjust the buckle on the strap for a snug or relaxed fit according to your preference.
Compatibility:
- Foot Type: Best suited for individuals with a narrow to medium foot width. The narrow width designation is crucial for achieving the intended fit.
- Socks: Can be worn with or without socks. Consider thin socks in cooler weather if preferred, though the footbed is designed for direct foot contact.
Care:
- Leather: Clean the oiled leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for oiled leathers. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Footbed: The cork-latex footbed can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not soak the footbed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect the leather and footbed from dust and damage.
