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.

The best hiking sandals for women combine traction, cushioning and durability. Look for contoured footbeds that support your arches, adjustable straps for a secure fit, and sturdy soles with plenty of grip. Waterproof materials are a bonus for creek crossings or beach trails. Brands like ECCO and Birkenstock are known for hiking-ready comfort that still looks great off the trail.

The most popular Birkenstock colours are timeless neutrals like Taupe Suede, Black Leather, and Stone, versatile shades that pair with almost anything. Seasonal favourites like Metallic Copper or Mocha also stay in high demand. These classic tones highlight Birkenstock’s natural materials and effortless style that never goes out of fashion.

The most popular women’s Birkenstock is the iconic Arizona, a timeless two-strap sandal loved for its comfort, versatility and effortless style. Available in leather, suede, vegan and the statement Big Buckle version, it’s the go-to for everyday wear. Other favourites include the elegant Mayari with its toe loop and the minimalist Madrid slide. With Birkenstock’s signature contoured cork footbed, every pair delivers that perfect mix of comfort and classic design.

The signature Birkenstock footbed is what sets Birkenstock apart. Crafted from natural cork and latex, it’s designed to contour to the shape of your foot over time, giving you custom support and comfort that gets better with wear. Each footbed features arch support, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box for natural alignment. Whether you’re shopping at Bstore or browsing a Birkenstock sale for your next pair, you can always count on that iconic comfort that supports every step.

Birkenstock uses European sizing, with regular and narrow widths for the best fit. Check Bstore’s size guide to find your ideal match — and remember, a proper fit means ultimate comfort.

Wipe with a damp cloth and use cork sealer to prevent cracks. Keep them away from extreme heat for longer life. Find cork care products at Bstore to keep your sandals looking fresh.

It provides flexibility, cushioning, and comfort, perfect for the beach, pool or casual wear. EVA sandals feature the same contoured Birkenstock footbed design for support, just in a single moulded material.

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!).

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.
