Setup, Compatibility & Care
First-Time Setup
- Adjust the Buckle: Before wearing, adjust the metal buckle on the strap to ensure a comfortable yet secure fit. The strap should hold your foot gently without being too tight or too loose.
- Break-in Period: Your new Boston sabots may feel firm at first. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time to allow the footbed to conform to your feet for optimal comfort.
Compatibility
The BIRKENSTOCK Boston sabots are highly versatile and can be paired with various casual and smart-casual outfits, from jeans and chinos to dresses and skirts. Note the narrow fit design; ensure this matches your foot width for the best experience. They are designed for general everyday wear.
Care Instructions
- Suede Upper: To clean the brown suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water and harsh cleaning agents, as these can stain or damage the material. For protection, consider applying a suede protector spray.
- Footbed: The footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- General Care: Store your sabots away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent material degradation. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly.
