FAQs

Can I wear these socks with these sandals?

Yes, the Boston silhouette is frequently worn with socks, especially in cooler weather, making them a year-round footwear option.

Are these waterproof?

No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not water-resistant and should be kept away from heavy rain or puddles.

How do I know if the size is correct?

Your heel should rest comfortably in the deep heel cup, and your toes should have enough room to move freely at the front of the shoe.

Can I replace the footbed?

While the footbeds are not designed for DIY replacement, authorized Birkenstock repair centers can refurbish the soles and footbeds.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the adjustable buckle allows for significant volume adjustment, making them accommodating for various foot widths.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too hard during first wear

The cork footbed is designed to soften and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short intervals indoors for the first week.

Suede looks dull or matted

Gently use a suede-specific brush to lift the fibers and remove dust, which restores the matte finish.

Buckle feels loose

The adjustable strap allows you to move the buckle to the next eyelet for a tighter, more secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior arch support for long-term wear
  • High-quality, durable suede construction
  • Versatile design suitable for casual and relaxed settings
  • Customizable fit via the adjustable buckle

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the cork footbed
  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and water exposure
  • Closed-toe design may feel warm in very high temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your Boston sandals, ensure the buckle is tightened to a position that holds your foot securely without causing pressure points. Since the footbed is made of natural cork, it is sensitive to extreme heat; avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or near heaters to prevent the material from drying out. To clean the suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and keep the nap looking fresh. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as excessive moisture can damage the suede and the internal structural adhesives. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from artificial heat sources.
