FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Your heel should sit comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should not touch the front. The adjustable strap should allow for a snug, but not tight, fit.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear the suede Boston clogs in wet conditions. Water can damage the suede and cork materials, potentially leading to discoloration or warping.
How long does it take for the footbed to break in?
The break-in period varies for individuals, but it typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks of consistent wear for the cork footbed to fully conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable strap allows for some customization, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, Birkenstock's standard fit is medium.
How should I store my Birkenstocks?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can damage the cork and suede. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag is ideal.
Can I wear them without socks?
Yes, many people prefer to wear Birkenstocks without socks, especially in warmer weather, to fully appreciate the contoured footbed. If you do wear them without socks, regular cleaning of the footbed is recommended.
What is the difference between suede and leather Boston clogs?
Suede Boston clogs have a softer, napped surface and generally require more specific care to maintain their texture and prevent stains. Leather Boston clogs offer a smoother finish and can often be wiped clean more easily, though they may also require conditioning.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Natural body heat and walking will help break them in.
Suede material shows scuffs or dirt.
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Consider using a suede protector spray to prevent future stains.
Clogs feel loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure the strap is adjusted evenly on both sides.
Suede color appears uneven after cleaning.
After cleaning with a suede brush, you may need to reapply a suede protector spray that is suitable for the color of your clogs to even out the appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Birkenstock Boston comes ready to wear. Ensure the adjustable strap is loosened initially for easier slipping on. Once on, adjust the strap for a comfortable and secure fit.
Compatibility: These clogs are unisex and designed for adult foot sizes. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and casual dresses.
Care:
- Suede: Use a suede brush to clean off dry dirt and dust regularly. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Protect with a suede protector spray, reapplying periodically. Avoid getting the suede wet.
- Cork Footbed: Clean the footbed with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking, as this can damage the cork. Allow to air dry naturally if it becomes wet.
- EVA Sole: Clean with mild soap and water using a cloth.
