Kids Birkenstocks

Measure your child's foot and compare it with the size chart. Leave a small amount of room at the front without letting the shoe feel loose. Check the heel sits in the cup, and re-measure every few months as feet grow.

That depends on how quickly your child grows, but many kids wear a pair for a season or two. Choose a size with a little room to grow, and check often that toes are not pressing against the front. Re-measure every few months.

EVA styles are waterproof and suited to the beach, pool and wet play. Cork footbed styles are best kept for dry use. Rinse EVA pairs after salt or chlorine and let them dry in the shade, away from direct heat, so they keep their shape.

School footwear rules vary, so check your school's uniform policy first. Closed shoes are more commonly accepted than open sandals. Our school shoes range has plenty of options if you need something that meets the rules, and our team can help you choose.
