Matching Kids & Adult Birkenstocks

Measure your child's foot and compare it with the size guide. Leave a little growing room without making them too loose, and check their heel sits in the cup. Re-measure every few months, as feet can grow quickly in the early years.

Kids' Birkenstocks come in sizes and widths designed for developing feet, so fit may differ from adult sizes. Check the size guide for each style. If you are unsure, ask our team to help you find the right fit for your child.

That depends on how quickly your child grows. Many children wear a pair for a season or two. Choose a pair with a little room to grow, and check regularly that toes are not pressing against the front of the shoe.

Many schools have rules about footwear, so check your school's uniform policy first. Closed styles often suit school requirements better than open sandals. Check with the school before you buy, particularly for sports days and excursions, so you choose the right pair.
