FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork-latex footbed are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup and your toes should not touch the front rim when standing.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the Boston model is frequently styled with socks for a comfortable, trendy look throughout the cooler months.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight or radiators to preserve the materials.
Do I need to treat the suede with a protector?
While not strictly required, a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray can help maintain the appearance of the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the footbed to warm up and mold to your feet gradually.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a soft suede brush to gently lift the nap of the leather and remove surface debris.
Buckle feels loose
Check the prong placement and ensure the strap is adjusted snugly, but ensure the metal is not digging into the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, adjust the buckle so the strap feels secure but not constricting across your instep. As the Boston is made of authentic suede, keep them away from deep puddles or heavy rain to prevent discoloration or material hardening. To clean, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. If stains appear, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid excessive moisture. Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out the cork and cause it to crack over time.
