FAQs

How do I choose the correct size for my Birkenstock Boston clogs?

Birkenstock sizes are generally true to size. It's recommended to refer to the official Birkenstock sizing chart for accurate measurements. The fit should allow a small gap at the heel and toe, and your foot should rest comfortably within the footbed's contours.

Are these suede clogs waterproof?

No, the suede upper is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions. You can apply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for suede to add a layer of protection against light moisture.

Can I wear Birkenstock Boston clogs with socks?

Absolutely! Many users prefer to wear Birkenstock Boston clogs with socks, especially in cooler weather or for added comfort. This is a common and stylish way to wear them.

How long does the break-in period for the footbed usually last?

The break-in period varies by individual, but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent, short-duration wear. During this time, the cork-latex footbed will soften and mold to the unique contours of your foot, resulting in personalized comfort.

What should I do if the cork footbed gets wet?

If the cork footbed gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally and thoroughly away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not force dry it with a heater or hairdryer, as this can damage the cork and adhesive.

Do these clogs offer good arch support?

Yes, the Birkenstock Boston features an anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed that provides excellent arch support, including metatarsal, transverse, and longitudinal arches. It also has a deep heel cup and toe bar, all designed to promote natural foot health and alignment.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels uncomfortable initially.

This is normal for new Birkenstock footwear. The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your unique foot shape over time. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time, to allow the footbed to soften and conform.

Suede upper looks dirty, matted, or discolored.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap of the suede. For tougher spots or stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Clogs feel too loose or too tight on my foot.

Adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap. Loosen it if the clog feels too tight, or tighten it if your foot is sliding too much. Ensure your heel sits securely in the heel cup and your toes have enough space without touching the front.

The cork footbed is cracking or appears dry.

This indicates the cork sealant may have worn off. Apply a thin layer of Birkenstock-specific cork sealant to protect the cork from drying out and prolong its lifespan. Clean the footbed before applying.

  • Initial cost may be higher compared to non-orthopedic footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Adjust the Buckle: Before your first wear, adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Your foot should not slide excessively forward or backward within the clog.
  2. Break-in Period: The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. It's recommended to wear your Bostons for short periods initially (e.g., 1-2 hours a day) and gradually increase wear time. This allows the footbed to soften and conform to your unique foot shape for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

  • Casual Wear: Excellent for everyday casual wear, relaxed office environments, or as comfortable indoor footwear.
  • Seasonal Use: Best suited for dry conditions. While versatile, the suede material is not ideal for heavy rain or wet environments.
  • Socks: Can be comfortably worn with or without socks, depending on personal preference and weather.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Birkenstock Boston Suede Clog:

  • Suede Upper:
  • Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher spots, a suede cleaner (following product instructions) can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to protect against moisture and spills.
  • Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing your clogs in heavy rain, puddles, or very wet conditions.
  • Cork-Latex Footbed:
  • Keep Dry: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, as it can damage the cork and adhesive. If wet, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the footbed with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely.
  • Resealing: Over time, the cork sealant may wear off. Birkenstock offers cork sealant products to protect the cork from drying out and cracking.
  • EVA Sole:
  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. The EVA material is durable and easy to maintain.
  • General Storage: Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
