FAQs
How do I determine my correct BIRKENSTOCK size?
BIRKENSTOCKs often run larger than conventional shoes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and consult the brand's specific sizing chart. Many users find going down a size from their usual shoe size is appropriate.
Can I wear these clogs in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede footwear in heavy rain as water can stain and damage the material. The EVA sole offers some grip, but the suede upper is not water-resistant.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary from person to person, but generally, the footbed will start to feel significantly more comfortable after a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear.
What is the difference between the regular footbed and the soft footbed?
The regular footbed is made of natural cork, providing firm support. The soft footbed includes an additional layer of cushioning foam for enhanced comfort, making it ideal for those seeking a plusher feel.
Are these clogs suitable for wide feet?
The Boston clogs are known for their accommodating fit, and the adjustable strap allows for some customization. However, BIRKENSTOCK also offers different width options (narrow and regular) for many styles.
How should I store my Boston clogs when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Gently brush with a suede brush. For discoloration, specific suede cleaners might be needed, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Protect with a suede spray regularly.
Footbed feels too firm initially
The natural cork footbed may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot's unique shape over time.
Strap buckle feels loose
Adjust the metal pin buckle to a tighter setting. Ensure the pin is securely seated in one of the buckle holes.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the EVA outsole provides traction, it is not designed for heavy wet conditions. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.

Care:
