FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
Measure your child's foot from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the Birkenstock sizing chart, ensuring there's a small amount of space (about a finger's width) between the longest toe and the edge of the sandal.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
While the footbed can tolerate some moisture, the suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions or at the beach.
How often should I clean the suede?
Regularly brush off dry dirt. Deep cleaning with a suede cleaner is recommended only when necessary, following specific product instructions to avoid damaging the material.
What is the ankle strap for?
The ankle strap provides a secure and adjustable fit, crucial for active children. It helps keep the sandal firmly on the foot and prevents it from slipping off during play.
Is the footbed suitable for children with flat feet?
The contoured cork-latex footbed offers significant arch support, which can be beneficial for children's foot development. However, consult with a pediatrician or podiatrist if you have specific concerns about your child's foot health.
How do I maintain the color of the brown suede?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Use a suede brush regularly and a suede protector spray (tested first) to help maintain color and repel light stains.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too stiff
The cork footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time as they conform to your child's foot.
Discoloration on suede
Light scuffs can often be removed with a suede brush. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning guide or product, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Strap not staying secured
Ensure the buckle is properly fastened through the designated hole and tightened to a snug, comfortable fit. If the strap is damaged, contact customer support.
Footbed feels uneven after getting wet
Allow the sandals to air dry completely away from heat sources. The cork may slightly reshape as it dries. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
