- How does the studded Boston compare with the plain Boston?
- The footbed, sole and shape are the same. The difference is the studded hardware on the strap, which gives it a heavier, more styled look. If you want a quieter shoe, the plain Boston is the safer pick.
- Do I need to break them in?
- Yes. The cork-latex footbed starts firm and softens where you press hardest, usually over a couple of weeks of regular wear. Wear them in short stretches at first.
- How does the sizing run?
- They follow Birkenstock's own sizing, which differs from standard US sizes, so check the brand's size chart. This version is listed as narrow width, so wide feet may want a roomier Boston.
- Can I wear them in rain or snow?
- Not ideal. Suede stains and stiffens when wet, and salt leaves marks. Treat the upper with a suede protector and keep them for dry days.
- Can the sole be repaired?
- Yes. Birkenstock soles and footbeds can be replaced by a cobbler, which is a big reason owners keep them for years.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of clogs. The strap and buckle come fitted, and no extra insoles or care products are included.
