How does the Buckley differ from the Boston clog?

The Buckley has a moccasin-stitched toe and an adjustable pin-buckle strap over the instep; the Boston is a plainer closed-toe clog without that strap. Both use the same contoured cork-latex footbed.

Is the fit true to size?

Birkenstock's contoured footbed runs roomy, and the open back means your heel sits near the edge. Many buyers size down if they are between sizes, and the buckle strap adjusts across the instep.

Can I wear the Buckley outdoors?

Yes. The EVA sole is flexible and lightweight and handles pavement and dry ground. The suede upper is not water-resistant, so avoid rain and wet grass.

Does the footbed mold to my foot?

Yes. The cork-latex footbed is contoured and takes on the shape of your foot with wear, which is why many owners find it more comfortable after a break-in period.

How should I care for the suede and cork?

Brush the suede when dry and keep it away from water; a suede protector helps. Seal the cork edges periodically with a cork sealer to keep the footbed from drying and cracking.
