FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Birkenstock designs are generally spacious, and the adjustable buckle allows for a flexible fit that accommodates various foot widths.
How do I determine the right size?
Ensure there is a small amount of space in front of the toes and behind the heel. The foot should rest entirely within the raised edges of the footbed.
Can these be worn with socks?
Yes, many people prefer wearing the Boston model with socks for extra comfort, especially during cooler weather.
What material is the footbed made of?
The footbed is a signature blend of cork and latex, topped with a soft suede lining for comfort.
Are they waterproof?
While durable, the standard Boston model is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles.
How long does the break-in process take?
Typically, it takes a few days to a few weeks of consistent wear for the footbed to soften and fully contour to the individual foot.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff when first worn.
This is normal for new Birkenstocks. Wear them for short periods at home to allow the cork to mold to the foot shape.
The footbed has become dusty or dirty.
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris and restore the surface of the footbed liner.
The buckle feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the metal strap buckle one hole at a time to find the perfect tension for the child's foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Boston sandals, proper care is essential. When first putting them on, use the adjustable buckle to find the correct fit; you should be able to slide a finger under the strap comfortably. For cleaning, wipe the upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the sandals in water or exposing them to extreme heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the cork footbed. If the footbed becomes dusty, a gentle brushing with a dedicated shoe brush is recommended to maintain the texture of the suede liner.
