FAQs
What is the best way to determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Birkenstock and measure your toddler's foot from heel to toe. Compare this measurement to the available UK sizes. Ensure there is a small amount of space (about a finger's width) between the longest toe and the front of the sandal.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
These sandals are not designed for prolonged water exposure. While they can withstand occasional splashes, the cork footbed can be damaged if consistently wet. It's best to remove them before swimming or heavy water play.
How do I break in the cork footbed?
The cork footbed is designed to mold to the wearer's foot over time. Initial wear might feel firm, but with regular use, the footbed will soften and conform to your toddler's unique foot shape.
Are these sandals suitable for toddlers who are just learning to walk?
Yes, the supportive footbed and adjustable straps offer good stability, which can be beneficial for toddlers developing their walking skills. However, always supervise toddlers during activities.
How often should I clean the sandals?
Clean as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty or wet. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance and the integrity of the materials.
What is the warranty period for these sandals?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details concerning your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckles on the straps. For a tighter fit, move the buckle to a closer hole; for a looser fit, move it to a farther hole. Ensure the heel strap is also snug but comfortable.
Footbed feels sticky or damp
The cork footbed may have absorbed moisture. Allow the sandals to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Strap buckle is difficult to fasten/unfasten
Ensure the buckle prong is aligned correctly with the hole. If it feels stiff, try gently wiggling it. Over time, the straps will become more pliable with use.
