FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the suede upper and cork footbed are not waterproof. You should avoid wearing them in wet conditions or through puddles.
Do I need to break them in?
Yes, Birkenstock footbeds are designed to mold to your foot, which typically takes a few days of regular wear.
How do I choose my size?
Birkenstocks generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the adjustable strap helpful, but ensure your heel and toes do not hang over the edge of the footbed.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, the Boston clog is a popular choice for 'socks and sandals' style and works well with cotton or wool socks.
How should I clean the white suede?
Use a specialized suede cleaning kit. Never submerge the sandals in water or put them in a washing machine.
What is the material of the sole?
The midsole is made of EVA, which provides lightweight, flexible cushioning, while the footbed is constructed from natural cork and latex.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too hard initially.
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them for short intervals indoors to allow the material to gradually warm and conform to your foot shape.
Suede upper has minor surface marks.
Use a suede brush or a suede eraser to gently lift the nap of the leather and remove light scuffs.
The cork edge is becoming dry.
Apply a thin coat of cork sealer to the exposed edges to keep the material flexible and prevent it from crumbling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Boston sandals last, adjust the strap so it sits comfortably against your instep without cutting into the skin. Since these are made of natural suede, avoid direct contact with rain or heavy moisture. To clean, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a leather cleaner specifically formulated for suede. Avoid exposing your sandals to extreme heat sources, such as direct sunlight for prolonged periods or radiators, as this can dry out the cork and cause the suede to stiffen or lose its color. Storing them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area will maintain the integrity of the materials.
