FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No. The suede upper and cork footbed are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in the rain or deep puddles.
How long do they last?
With proper care and occasional professional resoling, Birkenstock Bostons can last for many years of regular use.
Can I wear socks with these?
Yes, the Boston is frequently worn with socks, which makes them a popular choice for cooler weather or indoor comfort.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
You should have a small amount of space at the heel and toes. Your toes should not touch the front rim, and your heels should fit snugly in the heel cup.
Can I replace the footbed?
While the footbed is designed to be very durable, most authorized Birkenstock repair centers can replace the original footbed if it wears out over time.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
This is normal. Wear the shoes for short intervals of 1-2 hours at home to allow the natural cork to soften to your foot shape.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the fibers in one direction, restoring the original texture.
Strap buckle feels loose
Ensure the buckle prong is fully seated in the desired hole. If the material has stretched, you may need to add an extra hole or tighten the strap one notch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Bostons last, it is important to follow proper care protocols.
- Fitting: Adjust the strap so the shoe fits snugly but comfortably. Your heel should sit securely in the deep heel cup.
- Break-in: Wear them for short periods at first to allow the cork to adapt to your foot anatomy.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaning block or light treatment meant for leather.
- Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray specifically for suede to guard against light splashes, though avoiding heavy rain is highly recommended.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out the cork and cause it to crack.
