FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Birkenstock Tokio sandals are designed with an anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed and lightweight EVA sole to provide excellent support and comfort for all-day wear, especially after the initial break-in period.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Birkenstock sizes tend to run true to size, but it's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to Birkenstock's sizing chart. For this specific model, it is a UK children's size 2.
Can these sandals be worn in water or rain?
Due to the suede upper and cork footbed, these sandals are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. Getting them wet can damage the materials and affect their longevity. It's best to avoid wearing them in rain or near water.
What is the best way to clean the cork footbed?
To clean the cork footbed, gently wipe it with a damp cloth (water only). For deeper cleaning, a small amount of mild soap can be used. Allow the footbed to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
Will the footbed mold to my child's foot?
Yes, the signature cork-latex footbed is designed to gradually mold and conform to the unique shape of your child's foot over time, providing personalized arch support and a custom fit.
What does the 'Birko Flor' mention in some descriptions refer to, if this is suede?
The Birkenstock Tokio line can come in various materials. This specific sandal features a durable suede upper, as indicated in the product title and material attribute, offering a classic look and feel. Some other Tokio variants might feature Birko-Flor, which is a synthetic, skin-friendly material with a nubuck-leather-like finish.
Troubleshooting
My child complains the sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal during the break-in period. Encourage your child to wear the sandals for short durations (e.g., 1-2 hours) each day, gradually increasing the wear time. The cork footbed will soften and mold to their foot over time for a personalized fit.
The suede upper looks dirty or has scuff marks.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush away dirt and scuff marks. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a suede cleaning product can be used following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
The sandals feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal pin buckles on both the front strap and the ankle strap. Ensure the sandals are snug enough to stay on securely but not so tight that they restrict blood flow or cause discomfort. There should be a small gap between the strap and the top of the foot.
The cork footbed appears discolored or has an odor.
Wipe the footbed with a damp cloth (water only) and a small amount of mild soap, if needed. Allow the sandals to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight. For odors, sprinkle baking soda on the footbed overnight and brush it off in the morning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Adjusting the Straps: Before first wear, place your child's foot into the sandal. Loosen or tighten the metal pin buckles on the straps to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit. Ensure there is enough space for the foot to move naturally without rubbing, but not so loose that the sandal slips.
- Break-in Period: The cork footbed is designed to mold to the foot. Encourage your child to wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time over a few days or weeks until the footbed feels fully adapted.
Compatibility
These Birkenstock Tokio Suede Sandals are designed for kids (Unisex, size 2 UK). The unisex design makes them suitable for both boys and girls. The adjustable straps accommodate various foot widths.
Care Instructions
- Suede Upper: To clean, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Treat regularly with a suede protector spray to repel water and stains.
- Cork Footbed: Wipe the footbed with a damp cloth (water only) and a mild soap solution if necessary. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat. Do not submerge.
- EVA Sole: Can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- General Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can dry out and damage the cork. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. If sandals get wet, stuff them with newspaper and allow them to air dry slowly, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
