FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

You should have a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should rest comfortably within the heel cup without slipping out.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear the suede Boston clogs in wet conditions. Water can stain and damage the suede material. If they do get wet, ensure they are dried properly away from heat.

How often should I reapply suede protector?

Reapply suede protector every few months, or more often if the shoes are exposed to frequent moisture or heavy wear, to maintain their protective qualities.

How do I clean the cork footbed?

You can clean the cork footbed by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the cork. For stubborn marks, a mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.

What is the difference between the regular and soft footbed?

The soft footbed includes an extra layer of cushioning (foam insert) integrated into the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed, providing enhanced comfort and a plusher feel compared to the standard footbed.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Birkenstock Boston comes in a 'Regular Fit,' which generally accommodates a medium to slightly wide foot. The adjustable buckle allows for some customization of the fit across the instep.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears stiff or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry.

Footbed feels uncomfortable initially

Birkenstock footbeds often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the footbed conforms to your foot.

Buckle feels loose or won't stay adjusted

Ensure the pin is correctly seated in one of the buckle holes. If the buckle itself is faulty, contact customer support for potential replacement parts or warranty service.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

The EVA outsole provides traction, but ensure it is clean and free from debris. For significantly worn outsoles, consider professional resoling services.
