The key to comfy thong sandals is support and fit. Choose a pair with built-in arch support and soft, flexible straps that don’t rub between the toes. Breaking them in gradually helps too, wear them for short periods at first. For extra comfort, look for cushioned footbeds or premium materials like leather.

At Bstore, kids’ shoes generally go up to a European size 39, depending on the brand. That’s roughly equivalent to a women’s size 8 or men’s size 6. Each brand — like Birkenstock, ECCO, and FRANKiE4 — may size a little differently, so it’s always best to check our size guide or individual product page for the most accurate fit.

To find your child’s correct shoe size, start by measuring their feet from heel to longest toe — always while they’re standing. Measure both feet (one is often slightly bigger) and go with the larger size. Then, use our Bstore kids’ size guide to match the measurement in centimetres to the right EU size. Shoes should have about a thumb’s width of space in front of the toes to allow for growth and movement. A well-fitted shoe means happy, healthy little feet!

The best way to wash kids’ shoes depends on the material. For most leather or suede styles, skip the washing machine — instead, wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For fabric or sport shoes, remove the laces and insoles, then hand wash in cool water and let them air dry. Avoid heat or dryers, as they can warp the shape. Regular cleaning keeps shoes looking fresh and helps them last longer (because let’s face it, kids are tough on shoes!).

Most kids start wearing shoes when they begin walking, usually around 12 to 18 months old. Before that, soft booties or socks are all they need for warmth and comfort. Once they’re toddling, look for flexible, supportive shoes that protect their feet while letting them move naturally. Brands like Birkenstock make great first walkers that combine comfort, support and durability.
