Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Boston series is designed for adults seeking a blend of orthopedic support and versatile, everyday style. These slippers and sandals are ideal for those who prioritize long-term foot health and comfort, offering a robust build that transitions easily from indoor lounging to casual outdoor errands. The primary caveat for new users is the initial break-in period, as the signature cork-latex footbed requires time to mold to the unique shape of your feet before reaching maximum comfort.

FAQs
Are these slippers waterproof?
No, the Birkenstock Boston series is not waterproof. You should avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep water.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbeds are designed for long-term wear, they are an integral part of the shoe's structure and are not typically user-replaceable.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but ensure you refer to your specific UK size provided in the product details.
How long is the break-in period?
The break-in period varies by individual, but typically takes about one to two weeks of consistent, moderate wear.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too stiff initially.
This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods of 1-2 hours around the house to allow the cork to mold to your foot shape gradually.
Cork edges are beginning to look dry.
Apply a thin layer of cork sealant to the exposed edges to maintain flexibility and prevent the material from crumbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. Since the footbed is made of natural cork, it is important to keep the sandals away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight in a hot car, as this can cause the cork to dry out and crack. If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap. For the exterior material, use a soft brush to remove dust or light debris. If the footwear becomes damp, allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated room rather than using a dryer.
