Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Fit & Setup
When first worn, the cork footbed of your Birkenstock Boston clogs will feel firm. This is normal, as the footbed is designed to soften and mold to your foot's unique shape with wear. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time, to allow the footbed to adapt comfortably.
Sizing & Compatibility
This specific pair is a UK size 9, suitable for adults. Birkenstock generally offers a unisex fit for the Boston model. Always refer to Birkenstock's official sizing guide to ensure the most accurate fit, especially if you plan on wearing them with thick socks.
Product Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of your Birkenstock Boston Fur clogs.
- Cleaning Suede Upper: Gently brush off any dry dirt or dust using a soft suede brush. For spots or stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Caring for Shearling Lining: To keep the fur fluffy and clean, gently brush it periodically with a soft-bristled brush. If cleaning is necessary, use a mild fur cleaner specifically designed for shearling, applied sparingly. Allow the clogs to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Cork Footbed Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can dry out and crack the cork. If the cork edge starts to look dry or dull, apply a thin layer of Birkenstock cork sealant to protect and moisturize it.
- Water Exposure: Suede and shearling are sensitive to water. Avoid wearing these clogs in rain or very wet conditions to prevent water damage and staining. If they do get wet, gently stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape if storing for extended periods.
