Rio Double Strap Sandals

Originally released back during the seemingly never-ending heatwaves of the 1970s, Birkenstock has been a laid-back summer companion for generations of children for over 50 years now. Put it down to its cool style assortment, classic German craftsmanship or its ultra-lightweight, highly flexible comfort, they'll continue to cushion growing feet for many summers to come. Modelled on a cork sandal, Rio comes made with an ultra-lightweight and highly flexible EVA footbed that's waterproof and washable, ready to take on any adventure your mini-explorer embarks on. Secured with a metal buckle, the metallic print across the straps gives them a magical finish that'll keep their little feet and toes happy.

With its famously comfortable soft cork footbed, the 250-year old Birkenstock brand is enjoying a new wave of popularity, with its Boston suede clogs, Madrid and Arizona sandals stealing the spotlight thanks to cosy shearling and big buckle iterations.
