Buy Birkenstock Boston at Bruut

The Birkenstock Boston is one of the most recognizable clogs in the world. At Bruut, you will find the collection in various materials and colors, for men and women. On this page, you can read all about the model, the materials, and how best to wear the Boston.

What is the Birkenstock Boston?

The Birkenstock Boston was introduced in 1976 and has since become one of the brand's best-known models, alongside the Arizona and the Giza. It is a closed clog with an adjustable strap across the instep, secured with a buckle that allows you to adjust the size to your liking.

While the Arizona and Gizeh are primarily worn in the summer, the Boston is a model that lasts all year round. Thanks to the closed front, you can wear it perfectly well with socks in the autumn and winter, and without in the summer.

The Birkenstock footbed

What truly sets the Boston apart, just like all other Birkenstock models, is the legendary cork footbed. This footbed consists of multiple layers: an upper layer of suede or leather, a layer of jute for moisture regulation, a shock-absorbing cork layer, a stabilizing layer of jute and latex, and an EVA outsole.

The footbed is anatomically shaped and follows the natural form of your foot. It is characterized by a deep heel cup for stability, a wide toe grip for comfort, and a footbed rim that keeps your foot in place. Furthermore, with use, the footbed molds even better to your foot.

Materials and variants

The Birkenstock Boston is available in various versions:

• Suede – the velvety soft upper molds to your foot like a second skin and provides a warm, luxurious look. This is the most popular version of the Boston.
• Oiled nubuck leather – a robust version, often in neutral colors that combine easily with the rest of your wardrobe.
• Smooth leather – a sleek, well-groomed look with just slightly more shine than suede or nubuck.
• EVA (rubber) - the Boston EVA is made entirely of rubber, is water-resistant, and easy to clean. Ideal for daily and intensive use.

Boston for men and women

The Boston is a unisex model with a regular fit. This last offers ample room in the front, making it suitable for both wide and narrow feet. Whether you are looking for a Boston women's or men's model, at Bruut you will find the collection in sizes for everyone.

• Boston EVA plus sweatpants for a casual, sporty daily fit
• Boston in oiled nubuck plus chinos for a slightly more polished look.

Sizes and fit

The Boston has a regular fit with a wide front, providing extra room for your toes. The size is adjustable via the buckle on the strap, which often accommodates small variations in shoe size. If you are unsure between two sizes, please refer to the specific size chart for the desired product.
