- How does the Boston Shearling differ from the regular Boston?
- Same clog shape and cork footbed, but the Shearling adds a sheepskin lining and a softer, warmer feel. That makes it better for cold weather and worse for hot days.
- Does the shearling lining make it too warm?
- For most people it is a fall and winter shoe. In warm rooms or summer it traps heat, so many owners wear the unlined Boston instead.
- Should I size up or down?
- The narrow width runs snug, so wider feet often go up a size. The footbed should leave a little room at the heel and toe.
- Can I wear them outside?
- Yes. The EVA outsole grips pavement and the closed toe handles cold and light rain. Keep them out of deep puddles, since suede and shearling soak up water.
- How do I clean the suede and shearling?
- Brush the suede when dry and use a suede protector. Spot-clean the lining gently and let them air dry away from heat; do not machine wash.
- Is the footbed removable?
- No, the cork-latex footbed is fixed to the shoe. It molds to your foot, so it is not swappable like a removable insole.
