FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Birkenstock clogs generally run true to size. Refer to Birkenstock's official sizing chart for detailed measurements and comparisons to standard shoe sizes. The 'regular fit' is standard for the Boston model.
Can I wear the Boston BS in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear suede footwear like the Boston BS in wet conditions, as water can damage the material and cause staining.
How often should I clean my suede Birkenstocks?
Clean your suede Birkenstocks as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or stains. Regular brushing with a suede brush can help maintain their appearance.
What is the difference between the Boston and Boston BS models?
The 'BS' designation typically refers to the specific material or colorway, such as the 'Mocca' suede. The core design and footbed remain consistent with the classic Boston clog.
Will the cork footbed break easily?
The cork-latex footbed is designed for durability. However, avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or extreme heat, which can degrade the material over time.
Can I replace the footbed if it wears out?
Yes, Birkenstock offers replacement footbeds for many of its models, including the Boston, allowing you to extend the life of your clogs.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a specialized suede eraser to gently lift the stain. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.
Footbed feels stiff initially
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in naturally.
Buckle feels loose after wear
Re-adjust the metal pin buckle to a tighter setting. Ensure the pin is securely through the desired hole in the strap.
Water spots on the suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.
