FAQs

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain and puddles to prevent staining and material damage.

How do I determine my size?

Birkenstock sizes are based on standard adult foot measurements; choose your standard UK shoe size as the adjustable strap provides flexibility.

Can I replace the footbed?

The footbed is a permanent part of the shoe construction, though authorized cobblers can often perform professional repairs if needed.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, the Boston is frequently styled with socks for extra warmth, making them an excellent choice for indoor use during colder months.

What is the best way to store them?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause the cork to dry out and crack.

How long does the break-in period take?

It generally takes a few days to a few weeks of consistent wear for the cork footbed to fully contour to your foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too stiff initially

The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to let the cork mold to your unique foot shape.

Suede looks dull or dusty

Use a soft suede brush to gently buff the surface in one direction to restore the nap of the material.

Strap buckle is digging into the skin

Adjust the buckle to a looser setting or add a protective moleskin patch on the underside of the strap if the fit is still tight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional arch support for long-term wear
  • High-quality, durable materials that age well
  • Customizable fit via the adjustable strap
  • Lightweight and flexible sole construction
  • Anatomical shape promotes natural foot alignment

Cons

  • Suede upper is sensitive to water and stains
  • Cork footbed requires a break-in period for some users
  • Not suitable for heavy wet-weather conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your Boston sandals, ensure the strap is adjusted to a position that holds your foot securely without cutting off circulation. To ensure longevity, keep these shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the cork footbed. Since the upper is suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dust regularly. Avoid wearing these in heavy rain, and if the shoes do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature—never use a hair dryer or tumble dryer.
