FAQs

How do I clean the oiled nubuck leather upper?

Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For stains or to recondition, use a specialized cleaning and conditioning product designed for oiled or waxy leathers. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first.

How long does it take to break in Birkenstock Boston Clogs?

The break-in period typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on individual foot shape and wear frequency. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration, to allow the footbed to mold to your feet.

Can I wear my Birkenstock Boston Clogs in the rain?

While the oiled leather offers some resistance, Birkenstocks are not designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or moisture can damage both the leather upper and the cork footbed. It's best to avoid wet conditions.

What makes the footbed 'anatomical'?

The anatomical footbed is contoured to mimic the natural shape of a healthy foot. It features a deep heel cup, arch support (transverse and longitudinal), and a toe bar, all designed to distribute body weight evenly and provide natural support.

Are Birkenstock Boston Clogs true to size?

Birkenstock sizes generally run true to size, but it's important that your foot sits comfortably within the footbed, with a few millimeters of space at the heel and toe. Consult a Birkenstock size chart and measure your feet if unsure.

Can the cork footbed be repaired if it cracks?

Minor cracks in the cork can often be sealed with Birkenstock Cork Sealer to prevent further damage. For more significant damage, professional repair services may be available, but this depends on the extent of the damage.

What is the EVA sole made of and what are its benefits?

EVA stands for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate. It's a high-quality, lightweight, flexible material that offers excellent cushioning and shock absorption. This helps to reduce impact on your joints and provides a comfortable walking experience.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels uncomfortable or too stiff during initial wear.

This is normal during the break-in period. Wear your clogs for short periods initially (e.g., 2-3 hours) and gradually increase wear time. The cork footbed will soften and mold to your feet over time.

The oiled nubuck leather appears dry, scuffed, or is losing its distinctive look.

Clean the leather with a soft brush to remove surface dirt. Apply a specialized leather conditioner or wax designed for oiled or waxy nubuck leathers. This will rehydrate the leather and help restore its appearance.

The cork footbed is drying out, cracking, or looking worn.

Apply a thin, even coat of Birkenstock Cork Sealer (or a suitable alternative) to the exposed cork edge. This protective sealant helps to moisturize the cork and prevent it from drying out or deteriorating. Reapply every few months or as needed.

My feet are slipping or the clogs feel too loose/tight.

Adjust the metal buckle strap. Ensure it is snug enough to hold your foot comfortably against the footbed without causing discomfort or allowing excessive movement. You may need to readjust it as the leather breaks in.

The footbed has developed an odor.

Allow the clogs to air out between wears. You can also use a shoe deodorizer spray or sprinkle baking soda inside the footbed overnight to absorb odors. Ensure the footbed is completely dry before wearing again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional anatomical arch support and comfort from the cork-latex footbed that molds to your foot.
  • Durable oiled nubuck leather upper designed for longevity and a unique, evolving appearance.
  • Adjustable strap ensures a customizable and secure fit for various foot types.
  • Versatile design suitable for year-round wear, both indoors and outdoors.
  • Timeless and iconic style that pairs well with a wide range of casual attire.
  • High-quality 'Made in Germany' construction for reliability.

Cons

  • Requires specific care and conditioning for the oiled nubuck leather to maintain its appearance.
  • May have a break-in period where the footbed feels firm before conforming to the foot.
  • Leather and cork materials are not fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy moisture.
  • The raw edge design of the leather may show natural imperfections or variations.
  • Over-exposure to direct sunlight or heat can dry out the cork footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Adjust the Strap: Before your first wear, slide your foot into the clog and adjust the metal buckle strap to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. The strap should hold your foot securely against the footbed without pinching or allowing excessive movement.
  2. Break-in Period: Expect a short break-in period. Wear your clogs for a few hours each day during the first week to allow the cork footbed to slowly mold to your foot's unique shape. This process ensures maximum comfort and support.

Compatibility

  • Unisex Design: The Boston Clog is a unisex style, suitable for both men and women.
  • Versatile Styling: Its classic design makes it compatible with a wide range of casual and semi-casual attire, from jeans and shorts to dresses and skirts. It's ideal for indoor use, light outdoor activities, or as comfortable travel footwear.

Care

  1. Leather Care: To maintain the characteristic appearance and longevity of the oiled nubuck leather, periodically clean with a soft brush to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for oiled or waxy leathers. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive water, as these can strip the natural oils and alter the leather's finish.
  2. Cork Footbed Protection: The cork footbed is susceptible to drying out and cracking if left untreated. Apply a thin layer of Birkenstock Cork Sealer (or similar cork sealant) every few months, or as needed, to keep the cork moisturized and protected from the elements. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can dry and damage the cork.
  3. Footbed Cleaning: The suede leather oversole can be cleaned gently with a suede brush or a damp cloth for minor stains. Allow to air dry completely.
  4. Storage: Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
