FAQs
Are these clogs true to size?
Birkenstock sizing can vary, but generally, the Boston clogs are true to Birkenstock's specific sizing. Please note these are designated as 'narrow width', so if you typically wear a wider shoe, you may need to try them on or consult a Birkenstock size chart carefully.
Can I wear these clogs outdoors in winter?
Yes, they are designed for outdoor casual wear in cool to cold, dry conditions. However, the suede upper and shearling lining are not waterproof, so avoid wearing them in rain, snow, or slush to prevent damage.
How do I clean the suede and shearling lining?
For suede, gently spot clean with a damp cloth or use a dedicated suede brush/eraser. For the shearling, use a soft brush to fluff it up. Do not machine wash or immerse in water. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the footbed made of?
The anatomically shaped footbed is made from a blend of natural cork and latex, providing excellent support and cushioning. It is topped with a soft shearling lining for added warmth and comfort.
What does 'narrow width' mean for these clogs?
The 'narrow width' indicates that the footbed is designed for individuals with narrower feet. If you have average or wider feet, you might find them snug or uncomfortable, and your foot may extend over the edges of the footbed.
Is the strap adjustable?
Yes, the clogs feature an adjustable strap with an antique gold-colored metal buckle, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal comfort and security.
Do I need to break them in?
Yes, a short break-in period is recommended. The cork-latex footbed needs time to mold to the unique contours of your feet, which typically takes a few days of intermittent wear.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or sore after wearing the clogs.
This is often normal during the initial break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods, gradually increasing wear time. If discomfort persists after a few weeks, double-check your size and ensure the narrow width is appropriate for your foot.
The suede upper looks dirty or has minor stains.
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, slightly damp cloth to gently spot clean the affected area. For stubborn stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Always allow the suede to air dry completely.
The clogs feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal buckle on the strap. Tighten it if your foot is sliding too much, or loosen it if it feels restrictive. The goal is a secure but comfortable fit that allows your foot to move naturally within the footbed.
The shearling lining appears matted or dirty.
Gently brush the shearling with a soft-bristled brush to restore its texture. For minor dirt, a damp cloth can be used for spot cleaning, ensuring it dries thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Birkenstock Boston Clogs is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the clogs from their packaging.
- Adjust Strap: Before wearing, adjust the antique gold-colored metal buckle on the suede strap. Ensure it is secure enough to hold your foot comfortably in place, preventing excessive movement, but not so tight that it pinches or restricts blood flow. The footbed should align properly with your foot's arch and heel cup.
- Break-In Period: Like all Birkenstocks, these clogs may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few hours at a time initially, gradually increasing wear time. This allows the cork-latex footbed to mold to the unique contours of your feet for personalized comfort.
Compatibility
- Foot Type: These clogs are specifically designed with a "Narrow Width". Users with average to wide feet might find them too snug. It's essential to ensure your foot fits comfortably within the footbed without toes or heels spilling over the edges.
- Weather: Best suited for dry, cool to cold weather conditions. The suede upper and shearling lining are not designed for wet or rainy environments.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Birkenstock Boston clogs:
- Spot Clean: For general cleaning of the suede upper, spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the material.
- Suede Care: For deeper cleaning or to refresh the nap of the suede, use a specialized suede brush or eraser. Always brush in one direction to maintain the texture.
- Drying: If the clogs get damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage the suede and cork.
- Protect Footbed: If the shearling footbed becomes matted, you can gently brush it with a soft brush to restore its fluffiness.
- Avoid Water: Do not machine wash or immerse your clogs in water, as this can damage the cork footbed, suede, and shearling.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
