FAQs

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, these sandals feature a cork footbed which should not be submerged in water or left in extremely wet conditions.

How do I know if the size is correct?

There should be a small gap between the heel and the edge of the footbed, and the toes should have enough room to move freely without hanging over the edge.

Can I replace the buckles if they break?

While parts are sometimes available, it is recommended to take the sandals to a professional cobbler if a buckle repair is needed.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable buckle straps allow for some customization, making them accommodating for various foot widths.

Where are these sandals manufactured?

The Birkenstock Rio AS collection is manufactured in Europe.

Troubleshooting

Buckle is difficult to adjust

Ensure the prong of the buckle is fully seated in the hole; if it sticks, clean the area of any dust or debris.

Footbed feels too hard initially

This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear them for 30-60 minutes daily until they soften and take the shape of the foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction ensures long-lasting durability
  • Adjustable straps provide a secure, personalized fit for different foot shapes
  • Anatomically shaped footbed promotes proper foot alignment
  • Lightweight design is ideal for extended periods of wear

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the cork footbed to contour to the foot
  • Not intended for submersion in water due to material composition
  • The white colorway may show dirt more easily than darker models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for the Birkenstock Rio AS Kids sandals, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Adjust the straps so they are snug but not tight. The heel should sit comfortably in the heel cup of the footbed.
  2. Break-in Period: Encourage your child to wear them for short durations around the house initially until the cork footbed adapts to their specific foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach. Keep the cork edges clean, and air-dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the footbed material.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the leather or materials from drying out.
