Questions answered
FAQ
How does the Tokio compare to the Boston?
The Tokio is a closed-toe clog with a backstrap, while the Boston is an open-back slip-on. The Tokio offers more foot protection and a more secure fit. Both use the same cork-latex footbed. The Boston is more versatile for casual styling.
Is the Birkenstock Tokio comfortable?
Very comfortable once the cork footbed molds to your foot, which takes about 2-3 weeks of wear. The arch support is among the best of any shoe. Initial stiffness is expected.
How should I size Birkenstock Tokio?
Birkenstock uses European sizing. If converting from US sizes, go down one size. Choose regular width unless you have narrow feet. The footbed should have about 5mm of space at the toe and heel.
Can you wear the Tokio casually?
Yes, the clog trend has made professional-style clogs fashionable. It works with workwear, utilitarian, and Scandinavian-influenced outfits. The look is intentionally functional rather than sleek.
