- How does the Braided Boston differ from the classic Boston?
- The footbed, sole and backless shape are the same. The difference is the braided strap across the upper, which gives it a more finished look.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It fits like other Birkenstock narrow-width shoes. If you normally wear a regular Birkenstock fit, this version may feel tight.
- Can I wear them with socks?
- Yes. The closed toe and roomy forefoot work with thin or medium socks, which is common in cooler months.
- How long does break-in take?
- Most owners report a few weeks of gradual wear before the cork footbed molds to their feet.
- Can the footbed be replaced or repaired?
- Birkenstock footbeds and soles can be repaired by a cobbler, and resealing the cork extends their life.
- Are they good for wide feet?
- This is the narrow width. People with wide feet usually do better with the regular-width Boston.
