Product Information

Full details

The Birkenstock Boston clog is an iconic, versatile footwear choice designed for adults seeking year-round comfort and reliable support. Featuring a signature cork-latex footbed and a plush sheepskin lining, this shoe is perfect for casual indoor or outdoor use; however, new users should note that the firm footbed requires a short break-in period to fully contour to the individual shape of the foot.

FAQs

Can I wear these socks?

Yes, the Boston clog is frequently paired with socks, especially in colder climates, due to its spacious design.

Are these slippers machine washable?

No, you should never submerge Birkenstock products in water or put them in the washing machine, as this will damage the cork.

How do I know if they fit correctly?

Your toes should have enough room to move freely, and your heel should sit comfortably within the deep heel cup.

Are these suitable for people with flat feet?

The iconic arch support in the footbed is designed to accommodate various foot types, often providing relief for those with flat feet.

How long will the cork footbed last?

With proper care and occasional maintenance, the footbed can last for several years, depending on frequency of use and walking terrain.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too stiff initially

This is normal. Wear the shoes for short periods daily to help the cork-latex mixture soften and mold to your foot shape.

Metal buckle is rubbing against the skin

Adjust the strap tension slightly or ensure the flap of the leather is positioned correctly between the buckle and your foot.

Sheepskin lining becoming matted

Gently brush the lining with a soft-bristled brush to help restore the loft and remove debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent orthopaedic arch support
  • High-quality, durable sheepskin material
  • Adjustable fit via the metal buckle
  • Versatile for both indoor and outdoor wear

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the cork footbed
  • Not waterproof due to the sheepskin lining
  • Limited style variety compared to open-toe sandals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Bostons last, begin by adjusting the strap to a snug but comfortable position; you should be able to slide a finger under the strap with ease. When breaking in the shoes, wear them for short intervals of 1-2 hours around the house to allow the cork to flex.

Care instructions include:

  • Use a soft brush to remove dust from the exterior.
  • Avoid leaving the clogs near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can dry out the cork and cause cracking.
  • If the lining gets damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
  • Consider a water-repellent spray for the sheepskin if you plan on occasional light outdoor use.
