- How does the Amsterdam differ from the Boston?
- Both use the same cork-latex footbed, but the Amsterdam has a higher, more enclosed cut and no adjustable strap. The Boston is lower and more open.
- Should I choose narrow or normal width?
- Pick narrow if you usually wear narrow shoes or have low-volume feet. Otherwise take the normal width; the suede does not stretch much.
- Does the suede need protecting?
- Yes. Treat the suede with a protector before wearing and brush it to lift marks. The cork footbed should be sealed periodically too.
- Can the footbed be replaced?
- Birkenstock footbeds are resoleable and repairable by authorized cobblers, which extends the shoe's life well beyond the suede upper.
- Is it a good indoor shoe?
- Yes. The EVA rubber sole is quiet on floors and the closed toe keeps feet warm, though the cork can mark light floors if wet.
- How does sizing run?
- It runs true to Birkenstock sizing, which differs from standard US sizes. Measure your foot and use the brand's size chart rather than your sneaker size.
