FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Refer to the Birkenstock sizing chart and measure your child's foot from heel to toe. The New York sandals are designed to have a little extra room in the front for toe movement.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
While the EVA sole is water-resistant, the cork footbed and suede lining are not. It is best to avoid prolonged water exposure to prevent damage and maintain comfort.
What is the primary material of the footbed?
The footbed is made from a combination of 90% cork and 10% leather, designed to provide natural cushioning and support.
How should I clean the suede lining?
Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used following product instructions.
Are these sandals suitable for toddlers?
Yes, the New York series is available in various sizes, including toddler and kids' sizes, offering support and adjustability for young walkers.
What is the benefit of the heel strap?
The heel strap provides extra security and stability, ensuring the sandal stays firmly on the foot, which is especially beneficial for active children.
How long do Birkenstock sandals typically last?
With proper care, Birkenstock sandals are known for their durability and can last for several years, as the cork footbed can often be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too stiff initially
This is normal as the cork footbed molds to the foot. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Flexing the sole gently can also help.
Nubuck upper looks dirty or scuffed
Use a dry brush or a specialized nubuck cleaner. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by brushing once dry. Avoid soaking the material.
Buckle strap is difficult to adjust
Ensure the strap is not twisted. If the buckle feels tight, gently ease it while adjusting. Check for any debris caught in the buckle mechanism.
Footbed feels slippery after getting wet
Allow the sandals to air dry completely. Once dry, the suede lining should regain its grip. Avoid using heat to dry them.
