FAQs
What does 'LEVE' mean in the product name?
'LEVE' indicates that this model is designed with a narrow fit, suitable for individuals with slimmer feet.
How do I break in my Birkenstock Boston mules?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. The cork footbed will naturally conform to your foot shape with wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions. Moisture can damage the suede material and affect the cork footbed. Consider a water-resistant model or alternative footwear if expecting rain.
What is the difference between the Boston and Boston LEVE models?
The primary difference is the width. The Boston LEVE is designed for narrow feet, while the standard Boston model typically accommodates regular to wider widths.
How do I clean the Pink Clay suede?
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede eraser for stains. Always protect the suede from water and moisture. A suede protector spray can be applied for added defense.
What is the sole height?
The sole height is approximately 3.5 cm.
Are these suitable for plantar fasciitis?
The contoured cork footbed offers significant arch support, which many individuals with plantar fasciitis find beneficial. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too firm initially.
This is normal. The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot's unique shape with regular wear over a period of a few weeks.
Suede material appears discolored or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight across the top.
Ensure the adjustable strap is loosened. If the shoe is inherently too narrow for your foot, the 'LEVE' fit might not be suitable. Consider trying a regular width model if available.
Slipping feeling due to open back.
The open back is a design feature. Ensure the foot is placed correctly within the contoured footbed. The adjustable strap can help secure the foot.
