FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede eraser for stains. It's recommended to protect the suede with a suitable protector spray.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle strap allows for some customization. However, for very wide feet, it's advisable to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can my child wear these in the water?
While the rubber outsole can handle some moisture, the suede upper is not water-resistant and can be damaged by excessive water. It is best to avoid wearing them in deep water or heavy rain.
How long does the footbed take to break in?
The break-in period varies for each child, but typically the footbed will start to feel more comfortable and molded to the foot within a few days to a week of regular wear.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of a durable, grippy rubber compound designed to provide traction.
Can I machine wash these sandals?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, cork, and adhesive components of the sandal.
Are there other colors available for kids?
While this guide focuses on the brown suede model, Birkenstock often offers the Boston model in various colors and materials across different seasons and regions. Please check the retailer's current stock for available options.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty.
Brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser.
Sandals feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal buckle on the strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is positioned correctly over the instep.
Footbed seems stiff initially.
The cork-latex footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, and they will naturally mold to your child's foot.
Suede has gotten wet.
Allow the suede to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, brush with a suede brush to restore its texture. Consider applying a suede protector.
