These are great for support (not exactly easy to find in a sandal), the natural footbed molds to the foot and breathes, wicking away sweat. Our daughter is very happy with these, and they just get more comfy the more they are used. They tend to run big, so consider perhaps order a size down.

They are wide enough (particularly with the adjustable straps) & offer good arch support, which helps to stabilize her foot. She just thinks they're pretty, which is key. Maybe a little pricey for kids shoes, but given her foot problems - we always spend for good quality footwear anyway.

Narrow Birkenstock Sandal - I have to admit, we ended up with a silver color vs. white (we ordered white) but they are fine. However, I anticipated the sandal to truly be a narrow shoe but the narrow seems like any other shoe. Even on the tightest hole, it is still not what I anticipated but we will keep them and see how they work. I had to return the pink pair as they were way too big for my youngest daughter.

These are the cutest things ever! Beware of the sizing, though. I initially ordered the 25 (it says equivalent to toddler size 8) as my little one's feet fit comfortably in most 8s, with a small amount of room to grow. Well, the 25 was way too big. Like, it's probably equivalent to a size 10. Her toes didn't even peek out from under the front strap. I sent those back and ordered the 24, which says is 7-7.5 and they are much better. They are still big, probably closer to a 8.5 or 9, but they are wearable. Like I said, they are so cute, especially if you are a fan of Birkenstocks. She likes them a lot and likes to be "like mommy" when mommy wears her own Birks.

This was the second purchase of this style of shoe for our five year old daughter because we absolutely loved the fit and style of the first. She needs the arch support and this provides a great deal of comfortable support. She wore them with socks for a few days, as stipulated, and then they formed around her feet. The two buckle system allows for making a better fit across the toes and the ankle separately and are easily adjusted by her. A great fit for any age.

These sandals are wonderful. We received these very quickly but we always do when we use Zappos. My daughter (8) is quite picky about her shoes and really likes cute and comfortable. From the moment she received these she loved them and were very comfortable and a great summer sandal she has worn with dresses, shorts, skirts, and capris. I love them!

Great sandal! Comfort and durability in one. My daughter is very finicky and these worked for her! Love the cork sole, as it absorbs sweat and hides the dirt! True to size.

My daughter loves these sandals! The color is perfect for spring and summer wear and she has room to grow in them. FYI, the Birkenstock styles run large (based on the recommended size chart).

These Birks are adorable! They are perfect for dressing up or dressing down! They are extremely comfy for my 3 year old and are a great support on her feet! And you can't beat the price!

These are really very pretty shoes and I feel like I can wear them anywhere. I have not had to have "break in time" for them because for me they are very comfortable the minute I put them on. They are great to walk in. I have a very bad foot and these shoes feel great to walk in. I also like the styling of them. I know they are a "youth size", but they are for me and I am well past my youth but I have a very small foot and am so glad that I can find them from you to fit me.

This was a perfect shoe for both of my girls, ages 2 and 4 respectively. I had to order a size down, but they were instantly comfortable (i.e. no need to break them in with socks). The color silver also goes with all of their summer wardrobe. I would absolutely recommend this shoe for kids with regular and wide feet.

Zappos is the greatest! I bought the first pair of Birk's for my daughter, and the back strap broke the first time she wore them. The Zappos rep. sent out a new pair immediately and I received it the next day. I was not charged anything for the transaction, and postage for the return of the original pair was covered. Oh, and my daughter loves the shoes. She wanted a pair of silver sandals, and has very flat feet. The Birk's are cute and comfortable.

These sandals in silver are the perfect blend of fashion and comfort! My toddler has wide feet and the toddler Birks allow you to adjust the straps for a perfect fit. The shoe is very high quality -what you would expect from adult Birkenstocks - and can take toddler beatings. We love these shoes!

Perfect for play and warm weather - I purchased these for my 7 y.o. They have been great for school, weekends, and cute with sundresses. She states they are comfortable and she prefers the look of them compared to last years Tevas.

Exceptional quality... I bought my daughter her first pair of Birkenstock sandals when she was 3, and she wore them all the time and with every kind of outfit. These are as wonderful as the first pair. My daughter is 4 now and wears a size 11 US, so I ordered the EUR 29. I had to send them back and get a EUR 28 because they are made big. Also they are marked narrow, but my daughter has a wide foot and they fit her nicely.I've been wearing Birkenstock sandals for over 10 years and I can't wait until my son can wear a pair. I would definitely recommend these to anyone!

Super cute girls sandal - I purchased these for my very active four year old daughter for the summer. They will be her only sandals so I wanted something that would wear well and go with everything. She loves them and they go with jeans and dresses of all color. Construction is excellent, runs generous.

Great for a narrow foot - My 9 year old daughter is impossible to buy shoes for. She is very picky and she has a long, narrow foot. These were a perfect fit, very comfortable, and we both loved them. Finally, no more flip flops for the summer!

Sturdy shoes. They run big so get a size smaller than usual and you'll be pleased. My 10-year-old daughter says they feel great.

Runs very large. We're sending them back and ordering two sizes down. We ordered a 31 200 which is supposed to be a 13-13.5 narrow. In the same order we received a size 13 in a Saucony that fit well. I wish I didn't have to rate them, because I don't really know yet.

Omg this are a must have!! These are my daughters first pair of sander birkenstalks! She has a pair of the Mayari but she’s not able to run in those. She loves those so much she wears them everyday. We received these yesterday and the minute she put them on, she started running without them falling off. She has really skinny narrow feet. So it’s a perfect fit! If your child has wide feet, these wouldn’t work. I’m so happy with this purchase, although the price is very high. It’s well worth it. She’s always worn salt waters since she was a toddler. With salt waters it takes time to break them in. With these it’s perfect! She’s comfortable with them on all day. They’re really soft and the foot bed is also soft and perfect!

I love Birkenstock’s. So does my daughter and daughter in law. This is the second pair of birks that I have bought for my little granddaughter. She loves them. Her Birks are what she wants to wear over her other shoes. No wonder. I feel good knowing that they are comfortable and so good for her feet.

Love these shoes! I’m so glad my daughter’s foot is big enough for Birkenstocks now!! Her foot measures 5.75 inches, and we bought size 24 (US 7-7.5). Normally, I would buy her size 8 in shoes, but Birkenstocks run big. They will stretch and mold to your child’s foot as well. Love their versatility! Love Zappos awesome customer service as well!!
