Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Boston is an iconic slip-on clog designed for adults seeking a balance between daily comfort and anatomical support. Featuring a signature contoured cork-latex footbed and high-quality suede construction, this shoe is perfect for casual wear and extended periods of standing; however, the narrow fit and open-heel design may require a brief break-in period for those unaccustomed to Birkenstock's firm arch support.

FAQs
Are these Birkenstock Bostons true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, but keep in mind this is a narrow-fit model.
Can I wear these with socks?
Absolutely, the Birkenstock Boston is a popular choice for wearing with wool or cotton socks for extra warmth.
Are the soles replaceable?
Birkenstock offers resoling services through authorized cobblers, which can extend the life of your footbed and outsole.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, and your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup without hitting the back edge.
Can I get the suede wet?
It is best to avoid getting the suede wet, as water can cause staining and stiffen the material.
Is the footbed removable?
No, the cork-latex footbed is a permanent, integrated part of the shoe construction.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard initially
This is normal; wear the shoes for short periods of 1-2 hours initially to allow the cork to mold to your foot shape.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a soft suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap of the leather and remove embedded dust.
Buckle feels loose
Ensure the buckle is properly latched into one of the pre-punched holes in the strap; if it continues to slip, check the strap leather for wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Boston clogs last, proper care is essential. When first putting them on, use the metal buckle to adjust the strap so the shoe feels secure but not restrictive; you should be able to slide a finger under the strap comfortably.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust from the upper.
- Moisture: Keep the clogs away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack or dry out the cork footbed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Protection: Consider using a suede-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in slightly damp environments, though immersion should always be avoided.
