FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from Birko-Flor® nubuck, a soft synthetic material designed to resemble the look and feel of nubuck leather.
Is the footbed comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the anatomical cork and latex footbed is designed to provide support and comfort for extended wear, molding to the shape of the foot over time.
Can these clogs be worn in wet weather?
While the Birko-Flor® upper offers some protection, the cork footbed and suede insole are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the BIRKENSTOCK sizing chart for kids. The adjustable strap can help accommodate minor fit variations.
Are these suitable for very young children who are still learning to walk?
The Boston clog offers good foot coverage and a secure fit, making them a suitable option for toddlers and young children. However, always ensure the fit is correct and the strap is properly adjusted.
Can the insoles be removed for cleaning?
The insoles are typically not designed to be removed for cleaning. Spot cleaning the footbed and suede with appropriate methods is recommended.
What is the main benefit of the adjustable strap?
The adjustable strap with a metal pin buckle allows for a personalized and secure fit, accommodating different foot widths and ensuring the clog stays comfortably in place.
Troubleshooting
Clogs feel stiff initially
The cork footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time as the footbed conforms to the foot's shape.
Footbed gets wet
If the cork footbed becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not use a hairdryer or radiator, as this can damage the cork.
Pink color looks dull
Wipe the Birko-Flor® upper with a damp cloth to refresh its appearance. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, ensuring to dry thoroughly.
Strap buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the pin is correctly aligned with the holes. If sticky, a very small amount of silicone lubricant applied carefully to the buckle mechanism might help, but use sparingly.
