FAQs

Can I wear Birkenstock Boston sandals in the rain?

It is best to avoid heavy rain. The suede and cork components are sensitive to excessive moisture, which can cause the materials to degrade or the cork to lose its shape.

How do I know if the size is correct?

Your feet should have enough room to move naturally without hitting the edges of the footbed. Ensure your heel sits comfortably in the heel cup.

Are these suitable for people with flat feet?

The anatomically shaped footbed is designed to provide support for various foot shapes, often helping those with flat feet by providing structure where they need it most.

What is the benefit of the cork-latex footbed?

The cork-latex blend is flexible and insulating, providing shock absorption that mimics the natural behavior of the foot while offering firm, corrective support.

How often should I clean the footbed?

Clean as needed based on use. If you wear them daily without socks, you may want to wipe the footbed every few weeks to keep them fresh.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too hard or uncomfortable

This is normal for new pairs. Wear them for short periods at home to gradually break in the cork-latex footbed.

The strap feels loose or too tight

Adjust the metal pin buckle to change the tension of the strap across your instep for a personalized fit.

Suede upper looks dusty

Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to lift the nap and remove surface debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior arch support for long-term comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for indoor and outdoor wear
  • Highly durable construction and materials
  • Customizable fit via the adjustable strap

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period to soften the cork-latex
  • Suede material requires protection from excessive moisture
  • Limited water resistance compared to fully synthetic footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, start by adjusting the metal buckle to fit your foot securely; you should be able to wiggle your toes comfortably without the shoe slipping off.

Care Instructions:

  • Suede Maintenance: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust.
  • Moisture Control: Avoid getting the shoes soaked. If they become wet, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the cork.
  • Footbed Cleaning: Wipe the footbed with a damp, soapy cloth and let them air dry if the suede becomes stained.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
