Birkenstock – a German success story

Birkenstock. Sandals. A German success story. Does the world's perhaps most famous sandal really need an introduction? You have probably come across these popular sandals, as they are worn all over the world. If you are not yet familiar with the iconic Birkenstock sandals, read on as we introduce this German superbrand.

Birkenstock is built on quality and comfort. Genuine leather is a given, and the brand never compromises on quality, appearance or comfort. Birkenstock is not guided by a particular price point or by market trends. Instead, the brand's classic roots remain firmly planted in its German heritage.

Birkenstock sandals for children

Birkenstock sandals for children are characterised by the flexible cork sole that forms the foundation of every Birkenstock sandal. The sandals feature arch support, which helps shift pressure from the middle of the foot towards the front. They also have a deep heel cup that provides a secure foothold and stability while keeping the heel properly positioned in the sandal.

Sandals from the German brand also feature a raised edge in front of the toes, known as the footbed edging, which helps protect the toes from knocks. This construction has been carefully designed down to the smallest detail and is inspired by the natural impression a foot makes when walking in sand. Last but not least, Birkenstock sandals have firm heel support that activates the calf muscles, stabilises the rearfoot and improves your child's stride and coordination.

Birkenstock is one of the best choices for your child's feet.

Individual comfort for growing feet

Birkenstock emphasises that our feet are our means of transport throughout life. That is why the brand aims to create individual comfort for both your feet and your children's feet. Birkenstock understands that supportive footwear and a perfect fit help provide the foundation for healthy feet and a natural stride. Birkenstock offers two types of footbed: Regular for children with regular or wider feet, and Narrow for children with narrower, slimmer feet.

At House of Kids, we stock the popular sandals in the most-loved styles.

The popular Birkenstock Arizona sandal

The Birkenstock Arizona sandal is probably the most famous sandal Birkenstock has ever made. In summer, it can be worn barefoot, while in winter it can be used as a slipper with a pair of warm socks. Birkenstock Arizona sandals come in a wide range of beautiful colours and natural leather materials, as well as fun snakeskin patterns in gold, white, black and pink.

Birkenstock Arizona sandals for children are the perfect way to keep little feet comfortable throughout the summer. The sandal has a soft, cushioning cork sole, and the straps are adjustable so they can be worn loosely or more securely. The Birkenstock Arizona sandal is also lightly anatomically shaped to support your child's feet, while the toe grip helps encourage good posture.

The sandals are available in a range of fun colours and natural leather materials that your child is sure to love, including playful snakeskin patterns in gold, white, black and pink.

Whether your children are at the beach or at school, Birkenstock Arizona sandals will help them enjoy every step of their summer adventures. The Arizona sandal has a classic style that has been around for decades. Wear the sandals with a lovely summer dress from MarMar or a cool children's T-shirt, perfect for any occasion.

The open Arizona sandals are suitable for older children who have learned to walk steadily without tripping.

Whether your child is heading to the beach or simply playing in the garden, Birkenstock Arizona sandals are a great choice. They are wonderfully easy to slip on and go.

Birkenstock Gizeh sandals for older girls and boys

The Birkenstock Gizeh sandal is a great choice for older children. It has a toe-post strap that helps keep the sandal in place, and it is made from durable materials that can withstand plenty of wear. The sandals are also comfortable and supportive, which is important for children who are constantly on the move. Best of all, Birkenstock Gizeh sandals are available in a range of fun colours and patterns, so your child can find their favourite shade and a pair that reflects their personality. Whether they are heading to the beach or the playground, Birkenstock Gizeh sandals are a great choice. We recommend this style for older children who do not need additional heel support.

Birkenstock Milano sandals for the youngest members of the family

The Birkenstock Milano sandal is a great choice for young children who need good heel support. The Birkenstock Milano provides secure support around the heel, which is important when your children are playing in the playground or are still prone to tripping over a kerb.

The Milano sandal can also be worn as a smart sandal for special occasions. It is a lovely choice for children who want a dressier sandal for playing at the playground or attending their grandmother's milestone birthday.

Open or closed sandals

At House of Kids, we recommend closed sandals for children aged 0–4 years. For the youngest children, we offer first-walker sandals. Alongside Birkenstock, you will find brands such as Angulus and Bisgaard. Closed sandals provide extra protection for little feet, covering both the toes at the front and the ankle at the back. Young children need additional support in their sandals, as their gait is still developing and can be a little unsteady.

In our open sandals category, you will find a wide selection of fashion sandals and sports sandals for children. We recommend open sandals for children aged 4 and over. You can choose from different materials, designs and numbers of straps across the foot. You will find open sandals for children from brands including Hummel, Petit Nord, Ecco and many other lovely brands.

Also explore our category of children's swim sandals if you are lucky enough to be heading south for a swim. It would be a shame to damage your beautiful Birkenstock sandals around the pool.

Birkenstock sandal size guide

At House of Kids, our experience is that you should buy Birkenstock sandals in the size your child normally wears. However, we recommend allowing approximately 1–1.5 cm of growing room in sandals, giving your child's feet space to grow and helping the sandals last throughout the summer. If your child wears a size 28 in sandals in spring, choose a size 29 to allow for growth.
