FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Birkenstock Boston design is known for its roomy fit, which accommodates most foot shapes well.
Can children wear these without socks?
Absolutely, the footbed is designed for comfortable wear against bare skin.
How do I determine the right size?
Birkenstock sizes are specific. We recommend measuring the child's foot in centimeters and comparing it to the manufacturer's official size chart.
Are these machine washable?
No, you should never put Birkenstocks in the washing machine as water and heat can damage the cork and adhesive.
How long will they last?
With proper care and by avoiding extreme moisture, the durable materials are designed to last for many months of active play.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to the foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to soften and adapt to the child's stride.
Visible scuffs on the upper
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a nubuck/suede eraser depending on the specific finish of your model to gently lift surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last, avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this can dry out the cork. If the footbed gets damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from radiators. While the shoes are designed for durability, they are not water-resistant, so avoid wearing them in puddles or heavy rain. Keep the suede or leather uppers clean by using a soft brush to remove dirt, and consider a specialized cork sealant if the edges begin to lose their shine or protection over time.
