FAQs

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Birkenstock Boston BS generally offers a comfortable fit, but the width can vary. For wider feet, it's often recommended to try them on in person if possible, as the suede can offer some give.

How do I clean the cork footbed?

The cork footbed can be cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking, as this can damage the cork material.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as it can damage the material and cause staining. Consider using a suede protector spray for water resistance, but they are not waterproof.

Do they come in other colors?

Yes, the Birkenstock Boston series is available in a variety of colors, including Green, as indicated by the product siblings.

What is the difference between Boston and Boston BS?

The 'BS' typically denotes a specific construction or detail variation, though both are part of the iconic Boston clog line known for comfort and style. The core design and footbed remain consistent.

How long does the footbed take to break in?

The break-in period can vary from person to person, but typically it takes a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear for the footbed to fully conform to the shape of your foot.

Are these good for plantar fasciitis?

Many users with plantar fasciitis find the anatomically shaped footbed of Birkenstock shoes, including the Boston BS, to be very supportive and helpful due to its built-in arch support.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult a suede-specific cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully.

Footbed feels stiff initially

This is normal as the footbed contours to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The cork and leather will soften with use.

Water spots on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its texture. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future water marks.

Slipping sensation on the footbed

Ensure your feet are clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider using thin insoles designed for suede or leather footwear, or a light dusting of talcum powder on the footbed.
