Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Rio AS Kids sandals are designed for active children who need a reliable, supportive, and stylish shoe for daily wear. These sandals feature a contoured footbed that promotes healthy foot development and an adjustable strap system for a custom, secure fit. While they provide excellent durability and support, the synthetic upper may require a short breaking-in period to soften up for maximum comfort during long days of play.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
While the EVA sole and synthetic upper are water-resistant, they are not intended for use in water or heavy rain as moisture can degrade the natural cork footbed.
How should I clean the white synthetic upper?
Use a soft cloth dipped in mild soapy water to wipe the surface, then dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
Can the straps be replaced?
The straps are integrated into the design; for long-term durability, avoid pulling or yanking on the straps when putting on the sandals.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Ensure there is a small amount of space in front of the toes and behind the heel to allow for natural movement.
Is the cork footbed suitable for growing feet?
Yes, the contoured design is intended to support the arch and provide stability during the critical stages of foot development.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels too stiff to adjust
Work the metal prong back and forth gently; the synthetic strap will soften slightly with use.
Footbed feels slippery when new
This is normal for new cork footbeds; wearing them with cotton socks for short periods can help break them in.
Dirt buildup on the footbed
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the footbed surface and wipe clean with a barely damp cloth.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest life for the Birkenstock Rio AS Kids, adjust the buckle to the most comfortable setting that keeps the heel secure. If the sandal feels too tight, adjust the strap slightly looser before wearing them for long durations. For care, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the synthetic upper. Keep the sandals away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high temperatures can damage the cork footbed and the EVA sole. If the footbed becomes damp, allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded spot away from direct sunlight.
