FAQs
Are the Birkenstock Boston clogs true to size?
Birkenstock clogs generally run true to size, but the fit can be influenced by the width. The Boston model offers a standard width. It's recommended to consult a sizing chart or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the EVA sole is water-resistant, the suede upper is not. It is not recommended to wear the suede Boston clogs in wet conditions as it can lead to staining and damage to the material.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
The cork footbed can be cleaned by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the footbed, as this can degrade the cork.
What is the difference between the Boston and Boston BS models?
The 'BS' designation often refers to variations in the upper material or specific design elements, though both are part of the Boston clog series and share the characteristic soft footbed.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary for each individual. Some users find them comfortable from the first wear, while others may need a few days to a week of intermittent wear for the footbed to fully conform to their foot.
Can the buckle be removed?
The metal pin buckle is functional for adjusting the strap and is not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming stiff or discolored
Gently brush with a suede brush. For persistent marks, use a suede cleaner and apply a protector spray.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially
Wear the clogs for short periods initially to allow the footbed to mold to your foot's shape. Avoid extended wear until fully broken in.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The EVA sole provides moderate traction. Exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris.
