FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
While the synthetic material is water-resistant and suitable for occasional exposure, they are not designed for swimming or extended water immersion.
How should I clean the footbed?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth to gently clean the surface. Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable straps allow for a versatile fit, though Birkenstock offers specific width designations that may vary by model.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is permanently integrated into the sole construction and cannot be replaced.
What size should I choose?
It is recommended to measure the child's foot while they are standing and allow for a small amount of extra room at the toe.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels hard during first wear
The footbed needs to adapt to your child's foot. Have them wear the sandals for short periods at home to gradually break them in.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the metal buckles to a different notch. Ensure the sandal is secure but not pinching the skin.
Synthetic material has minor scuffs
Gently wipe the area with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing tools that might scratch the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest life for your sandals, adjust the straps so they fit snugly across the instep and around the heel without restricting circulation. For care, keep them away from extreme heat sources like radiators, which can warp the footbed. If the sandals become dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe the synthetic upper. If the footbed becomes slightly dusty, a soft-bristled brush can be used to gently remove debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic materials.
