FAQs
Are these clogs true to size?
Birkenstock sizes are generally standard, but because they are intended to support the natural movement of the foot, some users prefer a slightly more generous fit to accommodate socks.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The suede upper can be easily stained and damaged by water, and moisture can compromise the integrity of the cork footbed.
How do I clean the footbed?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. For deeper cleaning, a mild, diluted soap solution can be used, but avoid saturating the footbed.
What is the difference between the standard and the soft footbed?
The soft footbed includes an integrated foam layer between the cork and the suede lining, providing immediate cushion for those who prefer less 'break-in' time.
Can the soles be replaced?
Yes, Birkenstock soles can be replaced by professional cobblers once they wear down, which helps extend the life of your clogs.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff when new
The cork-latex footbed is designed to soften with body heat and pressure over time; regular, short-duration wear will expedite this.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift the fibers and restore the texture.
Strap feels loose during walking
Adjust the metal buckle to a tighter hole setting to ensure the upper strap secures the foot firmly against the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Boston clogs last for years, follow these care steps:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the cork-latex footbed to adapt to your unique footprint.
- Suede Maintenance: Use a suede brush regularly to remove surface dirt and maintain the nap of the leather. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Moisture Protection: Use a suede-safe water repellent spray to prevent water spots and stains, but ensure the shoes are completely dry before application.
- Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can cause the cork footbed to crack or the leather to stiffen.
