The Boston is Birkenstock's closed-toe clog, built on the same contoured cork-latex footbed as the Arizona sandal. This version uses a matte nubuck leather upper with an adjustable buckle strap over the instep, so the fit can be tightened or loosened. The footbed molds to the foot over time and the cork midsole gives firm arch support rather than soft cushioning. It suits people who want a slip-on shoe for errands, work or travel and who accept a break-in period; against soft-soled clogs like Crocs it is heavier and stiffer, but far more supportive and longer-lasting.

Owners rate the Boston highly and most praise the arch support and the way the footbed molds to the foot. Complaints center on the stiff break-in period and on sizing, with some finding the fit loose or narrow depending on the width chosen.
The Birkenstock Boston WB is a clog with a matte-finished nubuck leather upper in deep brown. It has a rounded toe and a single strap that fastens with a buckle.
The footbed carries the Birkenstock brand. A cork midsole sits under the footbed, and the flat sole is made of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA), which is durable. The construction is intended to support all-day wear.
