Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Adjust the Buckle: Before the first wear, open the buckle on the strap.
- Slide Foot In: Have your child slide their foot into the sandal, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated in the heel cup and their toes are not pressing against the front rim. There should be a small gap (a few millimeters) in front of the toes and behind the heel.
- Fasten Securely: Fasten the buckle, adjusting the strap so that it is snug but not overly tight. The foot should feel secure without being constricted, allowing for natural movement.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather Birkenstock Boston sandals, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important if the sandals are frequently worn or exposed to dry conditions.
- Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them lightly with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Footbed Care: The footbed can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the footbed with water. Regular airing out helps keep the footbed fresh.
