FAQs
Are BIRKENSTOCK Boston clogs suitable for wide feet?
The Boston clog features a naturally wide footbed shape. The adjustable strap also allows for some customization of fit.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the BIRKENSTOCK sizing chart, paying close attention to the measurement guide. The listed UK size is specific to this product variant. Consider your usual shoe size and foot width.
Can I wear these clogs in the rain?
While the EVA sole offers some protection, the suede upper is not water-resistant. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage to the suede.
How long does the footbed take to break in?
The break-in period varies per individual. Most users find the clogs comfortable after a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear.
What is the difference between the 'soft footbed' and the regular footbed?
The soft footbed includes an additional layer of foam integrated into the cork base, providing extra cushioning for enhanced comfort.
How should I clean the purple suede?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser or specialized cleaner for stains. Always protect from excessive moisture and consider a suede protector spray.
Are these clogs unisex?
Yes, the BIRKENSTOCK Boston clog is designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Suede discoloration or staining
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
Footbed feels too firm initially
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the clogs for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time as they break in.
Strap buckle feels loose or tight
Adjust the metal pin buckle to your preferred level of tightness. Ensure the pin is securely placed in one of the buckle's holes.
Suede material getting wet
Gently blot excess water with a dry cloth. Allow the clogs to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush with a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider using a suede protector spray to prevent future water damage.
