FAQs
What age group are these sandals for?
These specific Birkenstock Tokio sandals are designed for kids, indicated by the UK kids' size 13.
How do I ensure the correct fit for my child?
Ensure your child's heel sits correctly in the heel cup and their toes are not touching the front edge. There should be a small gap around the toes and heel. Adjust the hook and loop strap for a snug, yet comfortable, fit.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
While the synthetic upper can get wet, Birkenstock sandals are generally not designed for prolonged water exposure or submersion, as it can affect the footbed materials and adhesive. It's best to avoid wearing them for swimming or extensive water activities.
What is the footbed made of?
Birkenstock's iconic anatomically shaped footbed is typically made from a combination of cork and latex, offering excellent support and flexibility.
How often should I clean the sandals?
Regular light cleaning, especially wiping down the synthetic upper and footbed with a damp cloth, is recommended to maintain hygiene and appearance. Clean as needed, depending on your child's activity level.
Are these sandals good for children's foot development?
Yes, the anatomically shaped footbed is designed to support the natural shape of the foot, promoting healthy posture and alignment, which can be beneficial for developing feet.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels loose or too tight
Adjust the hook and loop heel strap. For a loose fit, tighten it; for a tight fit, loosen it slightly. Ensure there's a comfortable, secure hold without pressure points.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially
Birkenstock footbeds often require a 'break-in' period as they mold to the unique shape of the wearer's foot. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time.
Sandals get dirty easily
The synthetic upper is easy to clean. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe down the surface. For the footbed, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid submerging the sandals in water.
Child's foot slips inside the sandal
Re-adjust the heel strap for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the foot is properly positioned in the footbed, with the heel in the heel cup and toes not touching the front rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care
Proper care extends the life of your Birkenstock Tokio sandals:
