The Birkenstock Boston Suede Sandal is ideal for daily wear, providing a balance of comfort and support for active kids. The anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed molds to the foot's shape over time, offering personalized arch support and cushioning, which is beneficial for prolonged periods of standing or walking. The soft suede upper ensures a comfortable feel against the skin, making it suitable for direct skin contact.
The adjustable metal pin buckle allows caregivers to fine-tune the fit, which is crucial for growing feet and ensures the clog stays securely in place during various activities, from playing indoors to casual outdoor strolls. The EVA sole provides lightweight shock absorption, reducing impact on joints.
While its classic design makes it suitable for all-year wear, users should be mindful of the suede material, especially in damp or muddy conditions. It performs best in dry environments where its comfort and classic aesthetic can be fully appreciated. It serves as an excellent choice for a comfortable, supportive, and stylish everyday clog.
Setup:
Unboxing: Remove the sandals from their packaging.
Adjusting the Buckle: Before wearing, use the metal pin buckle to adjust the strap over your child's instep. Ensure it is snug enough to hold the sandal on the foot without being overly tight, allowing comfortable movement.
Initial Wear: Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the footbed to gradually mold to the foot's contours. This 'break-in' period helps achieve optimal comfort.
Compatibility:
Age Group: Designed for kids.
Gender: Unisex.
Usage: Suitable for casual, everyday wear, both indoors and outdoors in dry conditions.
Care:
Suede Protection: To protect the suede from water and stains, consider applying a suitable suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter.
Cleaning Suede: For light dirt, use a specialized suede brush to gently brush off dry dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner or a damp cloth (not wet) and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Moisture: Due to suede's high moisture absorption, avoid wearing the sandals in rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature.
Footbed Care: The cork-latex footbed can be wiped with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid saturating the footbed with water.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
