FAQs
Are these clogs suitable for wide feet?
The Birkenstock Boston features an adjustable strap which allows for some customization. The general fit is considered medium to wide, but the strap is key for a secure fit for various foot shapes.
How do I break in my new Boston clogs?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The cork footbed will conform to your foot with consistent wear.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the oiled leather offers some protection, these clogs are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments. Avoid soaking the leather or footbed.
What is the difference between the Soft Footbed and the regular footbed?
The Soft Footbed includes an additional layer of foam integrated into the natural cork footbed, providing extra cushioning and immediate comfort compared to the firmer, classic footbed.
How should I clean the Iron Grey oiled leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For nourishment, apply a dedicated oiled leather conditioner sparingly, following product instructions.
Are these clogs unisex?
Yes, the Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed is designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
Wear the clogs for short periods initially to allow the footbed to mold to your foot's unique shape. The cork will gradually soften with wear.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of specialized oiled leather conditioner. Use sparingly to avoid oversaturation.
Strap is difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckle mechanism is clean. If the strap is new, it may take a few adjustments to loosen. Avoid forcing the buckle.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new leather or cork. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or to the tongue area.
