Boston Classic Footbed Clog
Story
Meet the king of clogs
Most footwear brands are lucky to create one iconic pair of shoes. Birkenstock, which has designed and produced shoes for over two centuries, has several. The Boston clog is one of their most beloved models—and for good reason. It’s an exceptionally versatile and comfortable shoe made with unbeatable natural materials: The sculpted cork footbed cradles your feet, the suede insole has a soft texture (socks are optional with these), and the oiled leather upper gives the shoe a refined finish that only gets better the more your wear it.
Features
- Oiled nubuck leather upper gives this shoe a distinctive heirloom look: The leather develops its own patina over time
- Easy to wear without socks, and the upper provides more coverage and protection than a sandal
- Natural suede insole and contoured cork-latex footbed combine to support your feet with each step
- EVA outsole cushions your landings and provides good grip, too
- Made in Germany

About Birkenstock
Some things have their moment and pass away into the cultural ether never to be seen again, but not Birkenstock. It’s safe to say the German brand’s laid-back sandals have been having their moment for over 50 years since they first dropped in the US in the 1960s. They were the flagship sandal of the new casual cool style that overtook menswear back then, and have remained a mainstay in both the mainstream and the counterculture ever since. But it didn’t start there—Birkenstock’s shoemaking heritage stretches all the way back to 1774, and once you slip into a pair, you’ll immediately recognize they’ve learned a thing or two about comfortable, high-quality footwear along the way. Still innovating after nearly 250 years, Birkenstock persistently strives toward responsible manufacturing, like upcycling leftover cork from the wine industry for their insoles and introducing a newly designed, even more comfortable and anatomically correct footbed in 2009. All of which is to say, when you slip into these world-renowned sandals, you’re not only putting on a style icon, you’re putting on the best of the best.
