FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

Birkenstock sizing can differ from standard shoe sizes. Measure your foot length and compare it to Birkenstock's sizing chart. The heel should be slightly off the edge of the footbed, and there should be adequate space between your toes and the front of the clog.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The oiled nubuck leather offers some water resistance, but these clogs are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, as excessive moisture can damage the leather and footbed.

How long does it take for the footbed to break in?

The break-in period varies per individual, but typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear for the footbed to conform perfectly to your foot's shape.

What is the difference between the soft footbed and the regular footbed?

The soft footbed includes an integrated layer of foam cushioning beneath the suede liner, providing a plusher feel and extra comfort compared to the standard firmer footbed.

How should I care for the oiled nubuck leather?

Clean with a damp cloth and use a specialized oiled leather conditioner. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Allow to air dry naturally.

Can I put these in a washing machine?

No, never put Birkenstock clogs in a washing machine or dishwasher, as this will damage the materials and the footbed.

What does "Made in Germany" signify?

It signifies that the product has been manufactured in Germany, adhering to Birkenstock's high standards for quality, craftsmanship, and material sourcing.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too firm initially

This is normal as the cork and latex footbed molds to your unique foot shape over time. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.

Leather appears dry or faded

Apply a specialized oiled leather conditioner. Ensure the product is suitable for nubuck leather and follow the product's instructions carefully.

Strap adjustment is difficult

Gently work the buckle mechanism. If it feels stiff, a small amount of leather conditioner or wax on the buckle posts can help ease movement.

Slipping sensation on the footbed

Ensure the footbed is clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider wearing socks made of natural fibers that offer better grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort due to the soft footbed and cork/latex construction.
  • Durable, high-quality oiled nubuck leather that develops a unique character with age.
  • Adjustable strap provides a secure and personalized fit.
  • Versatile style suitable for various occasions and seasons.
  • Excellent support for all-day wear.

Cons

  • Oiled leather requires specific care to prevent drying or damage.
  • Can be perceived as a casual shoe, potentially limiting formal wearability.
  • Break-in period may be necessary for optimal footbed molding.
  • Fit can be particular; trying them on is recommended if possible.
  • Sizing may differ from standard shoe sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Birkenstock Boston clogs require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure they fit correctly. The single strap with a metal pin buckle can be adjusted to personalize the fit across the instep.

Compatibility: These clogs are designed for adult wear and are generally compatible with most casual wardrobes. They are suitable for both men and women. Consider the specific oiled nubuck leather material for compatibility with different weather conditions; while water-resistant to an extent, they are not waterproof.

Care:

  1. Leather Upper: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for oiled or nubuck leathers. Avoid excessive soaking.
  2. Footbed: The cork and latex footbed can be wiped with a damp cloth. For stains, a mild soap solution may be used sparingly. Allow the footbed to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  3. Sole: Clean the EVA sole with water and a mild soap if needed. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading. Use a shoe tree or stuff with paper to maintain shape if storing for extended periods.
