FAQs
Are these clogs suitable for wide feet?
The Birkenstock Boston clogs feature an anatomically shaped footbed and an adjustable buckle strap, which can accommodate a range of foot widths, including wider feet, by allowing for a customized fit.
Can children wear these in wet conditions?
While the Birko-Flor upper is water-resistant, the suede footbed lining is not. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion. If they get wet, allow them to air dry completely.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to Birkenstock's sizing chart, measuring your child's foot length from heel to toe. The Boston Kids typically runs true to size, but ensure there is a small space in front of the toes.
What is Birko-Flor material?
Birko-Flor is a skin-friendly, durable synthetic material developed by Birkenstock. It resembles nubuck leather, is easy to care for, and provides a comfortable fit.
Can the insoles be removed?
The cork-latex footbed is permanently fixed and cannot be removed. It is an integral part of the shoe's support system.
Are these good for arch support?
Yes, the defining feature of Birkenstock footwear is the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed, which provides excellent arch support and encourages natural foot biomechanics.
How should I store these clogs when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent the materials from drying out or deforming. A shoe box or dust bag is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff initially
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to the wearer's foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in comfortably.
Strap buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the strap is not overly tightened. Gently work the buckle mechanism. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may help, applied sparingly.
Pink color appears dull or scuffed
Wipe the Birko-Flor upper with a slightly damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a suede brush can sometimes help restore the texture. Avoid excessive rubbing.

Compatibility: Suitable for children's feet with a normal to wide width, thanks to the adjustable strap. They are designed for year-round wear and pair well with socks in cooler weather.
Care:
- Upper: Wipe the Birko-Flor upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Footbed: The suede lining can be gently brushed with a suede brush to remove dirt and restore its nap. For stains, a dry cleaner for suede is recommended.
- Sole: Clean the EVA sole with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight if they become wet.
