The Birkenstock Boston Leather Clogs are designed for everyday comfort and support, ideal for a variety of casual settings.
These clogs excel as a go-to option for daily activities, whether you're running errands, working from home, or enjoying a relaxed outing. The enclosed toe offers more protection than a sandal, making them suitable for cooler weather or environments where toe coverage is preferred.
Upon first wear, the rigid cork-latex footbed will feel firm. This is intentional. To achieve optimal comfort, it's crucial to allow a breaking-in period. Wear your Bostons for short durations (1-2 hours) initially, gradually increasing wear time over several weeks. During this period, the footbed will warm from your body heat and begin to mold to the unique contours of your feet, creating a custom fit that provides exceptional arch support and cushioning.
The anatomical design promotes natural walking motion and distributes body weight evenly, reducing strain on your feet and joints. This makes them particularly beneficial for individuals who spend extended periods standing or walking. The EVA outsole further enhances comfort by absorbing shocks with each step.
The tobacco brown leather offers a timeless and sophisticated look. They can be dressed down with jeans and shorts or styled up with casual skirts and trousers, making them a highly adaptable addition to your wardrobe.
Adjust the Buckle: Before wearing, adjust the metal pin on the buckle strap to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The strap should hold the clog gently against your instep without being too tight or too loose.
Gradual Wear: Begin by wearing your Bostons for only a few hours at a time. This allows the footbed to soften and mold to your feet naturally, preventing discomfort during the break-in period.
Birkenstock sizing can differ from standard UK sizing. It's recommended to:
Check the Birkenstock Size Chart: Measure your foot length and compare it to the official Birkenstock size guide to ensure the correct fit. Many find Birkenstocks run slightly larger than other brands.
Consider Fit Width: While not specified for this variant, Birkenstocks are often available in 'regular' (for average to wide feet) and 'narrow' (for slim feet) widths. Ensure you select the width appropriate for your foot type.
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather clogs:
Cleaning the Leather Upper:
Wipe off dirt with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth.
Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Caring for the Cork Footbed:
Avoid soaking the cork. If it gets damp, let it air dry completely.
Apply a thin layer of Birkenstock Cork Sealer periodically (every few months) to protect the cork from drying out and cracking.
Cleaning the EVA Outsole:
Simply wipe down the outsole with a damp cloth.
For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used.
Storage:
Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can damage the cork and leather.
Avoid leaving them in a hot car.
Avoid Water Immersion: The leather and cork materials are not designed to be submerged in water. This can cause the leather to stiffen and crack, and the cork to deteriorate.
