FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from other brands. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to Birkenstock's sizing chart. Many find it helpful to try them on in person if possible.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the leather or suede upper and the cork footbed are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the materials.
How long does the break-in period usually last?
The break-in period varies per individual but typically lasts from a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear. Pay attention to how your feet feel and gradually increase wear time.
Are Birkenstock Bostons suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstock clogs are generally designed with a moderate to wide fit. The adjustable strap also allows for some customization to accommodate different foot widths.
Can I replace the footbed if it wears out?
Yes, Birkenstock footbeds are designed to be replaceable. You can purchase replacement footbeds and have them professionally installed if needed.
How should I store my Birkenstock Bostons?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid damp conditions which can damage the cork and materials.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal as the cork footbed needs a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot's shape.
Straps feel loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal buckle on the strap to achieve a snug and comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle is secured properly after adjustment.
Cork footbed is cracking.
This can happen if the cork dries out. Apply a cork sealant specifically designed for footwear. Avoid exposing the clogs to extreme dryness or heat.
Slipping when walking.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the footbed has become excessively worn.
