FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, while they are durable, the cork footbed and suede lining can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water.
How should the fit feel?
Your toes should not touch the front rim, and your heel should sit comfortably in the heel cup without resting on the back edge.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbeds are not designed to be replaced, but with proper care, they are built to last for years.
Is the material real leather?
The Birkibuc upper is a high-quality synthetic material designed to look and feel like nubuck leather.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the Boston model is frequently worn with socks, especially in cooler weather, due to its closed-toe design.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard or uncomfortable
The cork footbed requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) at home until the cork adapts to your foot shape.
Buckle feels loose during wear
Adjust the strap to a tighter hole setting. The Birkibuc material is flexible, so a secure fit is important to prevent heel slippage.
Suede footbed lining looks dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the texture of the lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Boston Birkibuc. Upon your first wear, ensure the buckle is adjusted so the shoe is snug but does not pinch the top of your foot. To care for your sandals, keep them away from excessive heat, such as direct sunlight or radiators, which can damage the cork or cause the adhesive to lose integrity.
If the Birkibuc upper becomes soiled, wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the cork in water; if they happen to get wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature away from heat sources. To maintain the footbed, you can brush the suede lining gently to remove debris and maintain the nap.
