Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting the right fit is key for Birkenstock comfort. When first putting on the Tokio sandals:
- Open the strap fully: Release the hook and loop heel strap.
- Position the foot: Ensure your child's heel sits snugly in the heel cup, and their toes are not touching the front rim, nor is there excessive space. There should be a small gap around the toes and heel.
- Adjust the strap: Fasten the hook and loop heel strap so it is snug but not tight. The foot should feel secure without any pressure points.
Compatibility
These sandals are specifically designed for kids (UK size 13) and are best suited for:
- Warm Weather: Ideal for spring and summer outings, casual wear, and indoor use.
- Daily Activities: Excellent for school, playgrounds, family trips, and everyday comfort.
- Foot Health: Beneficial for children who can benefit from structured foot support.
Care
Proper care extends the life of your Birkenstock Tokio sandals:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic upper, wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Footbed Care: The anatomically shaped footbed can be wiped with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
- Drying: If wet, always allow the sandals to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as extreme heat can damage the footbed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
