- How does the Boston Rivets differ from the plain Boston?
- Same clog shape and cork-latex footbed, but the Rivets version adds metal studs and brogue-style perforations on the suede upper. It looks dressier and weighs slightly more.
- Do I need to break them in?
- Yes. The cork-latex footbed starts firm and molds to your foot over one to two weeks. Wear them in short stretches at first.
- Are they waterproof?
- No. Suede and cork do not handle water well. Light rain is fine, but standing water will mark the upper and can damage the footbed.
- Should I size up or down?
- The Boston fits true to Birkenstock sizing, which runs roomy. If you are between sizes or have narrow feet, consider the narrow width rather than sizing down.
- Can the footbed be replaced or resoled?
- Birkenstock can replace the cork-latex footbed and outsole through its repair service, which extends the life of the shoe considerably.
- What widths are available?
- Both normal and narrow widths are offered. The normal width suits average to wide feet; narrow suits slim feet.
