FAQs
Are these clogs suitable for wide feet?
The Boston clog features an adjustable buckle strap, which allows for some customization of the fit. However, the overall width is determined by the standard BIRKENSTOCK fit, which is generally considered average to slightly generous. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the EVA sole offers some protection, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How long does it take for the footbed to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual, but typically the cork footbed starts to conform to the shape of your foot within a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.
How do I clean the blue suede?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid washing with water.
Are these the 'Soft Footbed' version?
Yes, the product description indicates it features the Original BIRKENSTOCK soft footbed with an additional foam layer for enhanced comfort.
Can I replace the buckle if it breaks?
Birkenstock may offer replacement parts or repair services for buckles. It is best to contact Birkenstock customer support or an authorized repair service for assistance.
What is the material of the footbed lining?
The footbed lining is made of suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions and brush afterwards. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Footbed feels uncomfortable or stiff.
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size, as an improper fit will hinder molding.
Clogs feel loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your foot.
Soles are worn down.
The EVA sole is designed for durability. If significant wear occurs, professional resoling services may be available depending on the condition of the clog and the availability of replacement soles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The BIRKENSTOCK Boston clogs require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: These clogs are designed for adult unisex wear. The size 5.5 UK is specific, and while the buckle offers some adjustability, the fit is primarily determined by the designated size.
Care Instructions:
- Suede Upper: To clean, use a suede brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Avoid water saturation, as it can damage the suede.
- Footbed: The cork footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, mild soap and water can be used, but allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Sole: The EVA sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag, to protect the suede from dust and moisture.
