FAQs
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Your heel should not hang over the edge, and there should be a small space between your longest toe and the front of the clog. The adjustable strap should allow for a snug but comfortable fit without digging into your foot.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear the suede Boston Soft Footbed in heavy rain or wet conditions. While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the suede upper can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary for each individual, but most users find the footbed becomes significantly more comfortable after a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.
Is the footbed removable?
No, the soft footbed is an integral part of the shoe's construction and is not designed to be removed.
Can I wear socks with these?
Yes, many people wear thin to medium-weight socks with the Boston Soft Footbed, especially during cooler weather. The slip-on design accommodates socks well.
What is the main difference between the Soft Footbed and the regular footbed?
The Soft Footbed features an additional layer of foam integrated into the classic cork-latex footbed, providing extra cushioning and shock absorption for enhanced comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks matted or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, testing on a small area first. Allow to dry completely before brushing.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Birkenstock footbeds often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will contour to your foot over time.
Strap buckle is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the pin is properly aligned with the buckle holes. If it feels tight, gently work the buckle back and forth. Avoid forcing the strap, as this could damage the suede.
Water damage to suede.
If the suede gets wet, blot away excess moisture immediately with a clean cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore texture. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future use.
