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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Sole: Clean the EVA sole with water and a mild soap if needed. Ensure it is dry before wearing.
- 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.
