FAQs
How do I adjust the fit of the Birkenstock Boston clogs?
The fit can be adjusted using the metal buckle located on the side of the clog. You can slide the buckle to different positions along the strap to tighten or loosen the fit over your instep.
Can I wear socks with the Birkenstock Boston clogs?
Yes, many people wear socks with their Boston clogs, especially in cooler weather. The adjustable buckle helps accommodate socks of varying thickness.
How do I clean the blue suede upper?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Always protect the suede with a specialized protector spray and avoid getting it excessively wet.
Is the cork footbed waterproof?
The cork-latex footbed is not waterproof. It should be kept as dry as possible. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the intended use for the Boston clog?
The Boston clog is designed for casual everyday wear, offering comfort and support for activities like walking around the house, running errands, or relaxed outings. It is best suited for dry conditions.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary from person to person, but typically lasts a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear. The footbed will gradually conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially
This is normal as the cork-latex footbed needs a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The footbed will mold to your foot's shape.
Suede material getting wet or stained
Immediately blot excess water with a dry cloth. Allow to air dry away from direct heat. For stains, use a suede eraser. Regular application of a suede protector spray can help prevent future stains and water damage.
Buckle feels loose or too tight
Adjust the metal buckle. Loosen it by sliding the buckle away from the strap holes or tighten it by sliding it towards the strap holes. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to Birkenstock's official sizing chart for accurate measurements. The Boston clog is designed with a roomy fit. If between sizes, consider your preferred fit (snugger or looser) and how you will wear them (e.g., with or without socks).
