The Birkenstock Boston is an iconic sandal-shoe hybrid designed for adults seeking exceptional all-day comfort and enhanced foot function, drawing from nearly 250 years of heritage and proven design. Its premium suede upper, anatomically shaped cork footbed, and shock-absorbing EVA sole provide superior support and cushioning, though its open-back slip-on nature means it might not offer the full security of a closed-back shoe.

The Birkenstock Boston is celebrated for its ability to deliver consistent comfort and support across a variety of daily activities. Its unique design makes it a staple for those seeking a blend of slipper-like comfort and shoe-like versatility.
Whether you're working from home, running errands, or enjoying a casual day out, the Boston provides reliable comfort. The contoured cork footbed, a hallmark of Birkenstock, gently guides your foot into its natural position, offering arch support and heel stability. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals who spend a lot of time on their feet, reducing fatigue and promoting better posture.
Known as a 'sandal-shoe hybrid', the Boston's covered toe allows for wear in cooler temperatures than open-toe sandals, while the open back keeps it breathable. This versatility means it pairs well with everything from jeans and casual trousers to skirts and dresses, easily transitioning from indoor lounging to outdoor casual events.
The footbed's ability to mold to your unique foot shape over time means personalized support that can benefit overall foot health. The shock-absorbing EVA sole further cushions each step, reducing stress on your feet and joints.
With its fully adjustable buckle, you can fine-tune the fit to ensure your foot is secure without feeling constricted. This is particularly useful as feet can swell slightly throughout the day, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments.
Adjust the Buckle: Upon first wearing, loosen or tighten the galvanised buckle to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Your foot should not slide excessively within the clog.
Wear Gradually: Birkenstocks have a unique footbed that molds to your feet. It's recommended to wear them for only a few hours at a time during the first few days. This allows the cork footbed to soften and adapt to the specific contours of your feet, preventing discomfort.
Allow to Mold: Over time, the footbed will develop a personalized fit, enhancing comfort and support.
Unisex Design: The Boston's classic design is suitable for all adults, regardless of gender.
Sizing: This specific model is a UK Size 7. Birkenstock sizing tends to be generous, so consult a size guide if unsure. The size_adult_foot_uk attribute is '7'.
Suede Upper Care:
Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Protection: Apply a suede protector spray regularly to help repel water and stains.
Avoid Water: Suede is not waterproof. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions as water can stain and damage the material.
Cork Footbed Care:
Cleaning: Wipe the footbed with a damp cloth or use a dedicated cork cleaner.
Cork Sealer: To extend the life of the cork, periodically apply a thin layer of cork sealer. This protects against moisture and drying out.
EVA Sole Care:
Cleaning: The EVA sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Drying: If your Bostons get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the cork and suede.
