How does the Boston Rivet Clog fit compared with other Birkenstocks?

It uses the same anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed as Birkenstock sandals. This version is medium/narrow width, which the brand says fits most women's feet. The strap buckle lets you tighten or loosen the fit.

Is the footbed leather or suede?

The footbed lining is suede, and the upper is suede as well. The base is the standard cork-latex footbed.

Can I wear the Boston Rivet Clog in rain?

Suede does not handle water well and can stain or stiffen. The EVA outsole is water-resistant, but the upper is best kept dry.

How does it compare with the classic Boston clog?

It is the Boston silhouette with a rivet detail and a single buckled strap. The core cork-latex footbed and EVA sole are the same as the standard Boston.

Does it have a shearling lining?

No. This version has a suede footbed lining, not the shearling lining found on the Boston shearling models.

Birkenstock makes the Boston Rivet Clog in Germany.

Our take on the Birkenstock Boston Rivet Clog

The Boston Rivet Clog is Birkenstock's closed-toe slip-on built on the same anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed as the classic Arizona sandal. The suede upper and suede-lined footbed give it a soft, broken-in feel, and a single strap with an adjustable metal pin buckle holds the foot in place. The EVA outsole keeps it light for everyday wear. It suits people who want a supportive, roomy clog for errands, casual offices and cooler weather, and it competes with the Boston's own soft-footbed and shearling versions and with padded clogs from other brands.
