FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
While the EVA sole is resistant to water, the cork and upper materials are not fully waterproof and should be kept dry to maintain quality.
What is the height of the heel?
These sandals feature a flat heel design with a 2.5cm height.
How do I know if the narrow fit is right for my child?
If your child typically has wide feet, the narrow fit might feel restrictive. These are best suited for narrow to medium foot widths.
Where are these sandals manufactured?
They are proudly made in Europe, adhering to Birkenstock's high standards of quality craftsmanship.
Can I adjust the straps as my child grows?
Yes, the buckle fastening system allows for significant adjustability, accommodating growth over time.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the buckle to the next hole on the strap to achieve the desired tension across the arch.
Footbed feels stiff initially
The cork footbed is designed to soften and mold to the foot over several wears; short periods of use at home can help speed up the process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, adjust the straps to the child's feet upon first use; the buckle should be snug enough to prevent slipping but loose enough to allow movement. For care, keep the sandals away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, as this can damage the cork material. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface and store them in a cool, dry place. If the cork edge becomes dull over time, you can apply a thin coat of cork sealer to maintain its integrity.
