FAQs

What makes the Birkenstock Soft Footbed special?

The Soft Footbed features an additional layer of foam inserted into the anatomical cork-latex footbed. This extra cushioning provides immediate, exceptional comfort right out of the box, in addition to the classic Birkenstock support.

Are these clogs suitable for wet weather?

No, the suede upper is not waterproof. While it can withstand light splashes, prolonged exposure to water should be avoided as it can damage the suede and cork. We highly recommend using a suede protector spray for added resistance to moisture and stains.

How do I choose the correct size for Birkenstock Boston Clogs?

Birkenstock sizes typically run true to size, but some find them to be slightly generous. It's best to measure your foot length and consult Birkenstock's official size chart. Ensure your heel has a small gap at the back, and your toes do not touch the front rim of the footbed for the ideal fit.

Can I wear Birkenstock Boston clogs with orthotics?

The Birkenstock footbed is anatomically designed to provide comprehensive support, often negating the need for additional orthotics. The footbed is not removable, so wearing custom orthotics with these clogs is generally not recommended or feasible without modifying the product.

How often should I clean the suede footbed lining?

The suede footbed lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth if needed. For deeper cleaning or to refresh the footbed, specialized Birkenstock cleaning kits are available. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and prolongs the life of your clogs.

Is there a break-in period for new Birkenstocks?

Yes, new Birkenstock cork footbeds require a break-in period. During this time, the footbed softens and molds to the unique contours of your feet. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially (e.g., 1-2 hours a day) and gradually increasing wear time until they feel fully comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels uncomfortable or rubs in specific spots during initial wear.

Birkenstock footwear has a natural break-in period as the cork footbed molds to your foot. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the buckle is adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Persistent discomfort might indicate an incorrect size; consult a Birkenstock sizing guide.

Suede upper looks dull, dirty, or has scuff marks.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For more stubborn dirt or stains, apply a suede cleaner specifically designed for suede and nubuck, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Clogs feel too loose, causing your foot to slide, or too tight, feeling restrictive.

Utilize the individually adjustable metal buckle strap. Tighten the strap if your foot is sliding too much within the clog, or loosen it if it feels restrictive. The fit should be snug enough to hold your foot securely, allowing for natural movement without excessive friction.

Cork footbed appears dry or cracked.

The cork can dry out from prolonged exposure to heat or sun. Apply a thin layer of Birkenstock-specific cork sealer to protect and condition the cork. This helps prevent cracking and extends the life of the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Adjust the Buckle: Unbuckle the strap and slide your foot into the clog. Make sure your heel sits comfortably in the heel cup and your toes do not touch the front rim. There should be a small gap around your heel and toes. Then, adjust the metal buckle strap to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. The clog should feel secure on your foot without being overly tight or loose.

Compatibility

  • Socks or Barefoot: The Boston clogs can be comfortably worn with or without socks, depending on your preference and the weather. Wearing socks can help absorb moisture and extend the life of the footbed.
  • Attire: They pair well with a wide range of casual clothing, including jeans, chinos, linen pants, and various types of skirts and dresses, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of your suede clogs.

  • Suede Upper Protection: Before initial wear and periodically thereafter, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
  • Cleaning Suede: For surface dirt and to restore the suede's nap, gently brush with a specialized suede brush. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh rubbing.
  • Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Cork-Latex Footbed: Keep the cork footbed away from extreme heat sources (e.g., direct sunlight, radiators, hot car interiors) as this can dry out and crack the cork. If the cork starts to look dry, a thin layer of cork sealer can be applied to protect it.
  • Outsole: The EVA/rubber outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
  • Storage: Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
