FAQs
What is Birko-Flor Nubuck?
Birko-Flor Nubuck is a durable and skin-friendly synthetic material used by Birkenstock that closely imitates the appearance and feel of nubuck leather.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
These particular New York Kids sandals have a narrow width and are best suited for children with slim to average width feet. Wider feet may find them too constricting.
How do I clean the cork footbed?
Clean the cork footbed with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
While the EVA outsole is water-resistant, the cork footbed and suede lining are not designed for prolonged water exposure and can be damaged. It is best to keep them dry.
What is the main benefit of the footbed design?
The anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed is designed to provide excellent support and comfort by conforming to the natural contours of the foot, promoting healthy foot development.
How do the buckles work?
The sandals feature two adjustable metal buckles for the straps across the foot, and a wide ankle strap with a press stud fastening for easy closure and a secure fit.
What is the intended use for these sandals?
These sandals are intended for casual, everyday wear, providing comfort and support for children during normal daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the two buckle straps and the ankle strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the press stud on the ankle strap is fully fastened.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to the wearer's foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your child's foot shape.
Suede footbed lining appears dirty.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For minor marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully, followed by air drying. Avoid saturating the material.
Straps are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the buckle is not obstructed. The buckles may require a firm pull to adjust initially. Ensure the press stud for the ankle strap clicks securely into place.
