Birkenstock Boston Oiled Nubuck Sandals

The BIRKENSTOCK Boston is a veritable classic that can easily be worn all year round. The Boston has a legendary status thanks to its sophisticated, individual design. The upper is made from extra thick, oiled nubuck leather with an open-selvage finish. Details * Regular Width * Anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed * Upper: oiled nubuck leather * Footbed lining: suede * Sole: EVA * One strap with an individually adjustable metal pin buckle * Made in Germany MATERIALS * Upper: Oiled leather Oiled leather can be recognized by its untreated surface. BIRKENSTOCK purposely does not treat surface grains and other characteristic features. BIRKENSTOCK uses sturdy leather with a thickness of 2.8 to 3.2 millimeters as upper material. * Insole: Suede The flexible leather lining, which is gentle on the skin, nestles up softly against your foot and adjusts to its contour. The open-pored and thus very breathable surface makes for a comfortable foot climate, even during more strenuous physical activity. * Footbed material: Cork Cork is a sustainable material extracted from the bark layer of the cork oak. This natural product is insulating and offers very good cushioning. * Outsole: EVA EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is a high-quality, very light, elastic material with extremely good cushioning. As a result, it smooths out slight irregularities in the floor and ensures that every step is softly cushioned. I received my footwear and it appears scratched? The leather uppers have been finished with a coating of oil that allows for a more distressed look, and rich color variation. It is normal for oiled leather uppers to display superficial scuffs or what can look like scratches. These markings, though intentional, will self-neutralize as the leather flexes and bends with wear. You can also try rubbing them with your finger as your natural body heat can help redistribute the oiled coating of the leather. If you prefer a more uniform look where the straps are all the same color, we suggest a suede leather, smooth leather or one of the synthetic materials such as Birkibuc or Birko-Flor.
