FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The 'LEVE (narrow)' designation indicates these are designed for a narrower foot profile. Individuals with wider feet may find them too constricting.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
Wipe the cork footbed with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or soaking the footbed. Allow it to air dry completely.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the EVA outsole offers some durability, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
How long does it take for the footbed to break in?
The break-in period can vary. Most users find the cork footbed becomes more comfortable and molds to their foot shape within a few days to a couple of weeks of regular wear.
What is the difference between the 'Narrow' and 'Regular' fit Boston models?
The 'Narrow' fit is designed for individuals with slimmer feet, offering a more snug fit around the width. 'Regular' fit models are typically wider to accommodate a broader range of foot shapes.
Can the insole be removed or replaced?
The natural leather insole is designed to sit atop the cork footbed and is not typically removed. The cork footbed itself is integral to the shoe's structure and is not designed for user replacement.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 3.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Apply a suede protector spray regularly.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually.
Fit feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap to find your optimal fit. Ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the footbed.
Water damage to suede.
If the suede gets wet, let it air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, brush to restore texture. Suede protector sprays can offer some water resistance.
