Is the Birkenstock Kids Gizeh Sandal worth buying?

High quality, long-lasting, but know what you’re getting: a stylish casual sandal, not a do-everything summer workhorse. After a full summer of testing, the honest truth is that spending a little more on one good pair of sandals beats buying three cheap pairs that fall apart. The Keen Newport H2 is our household MVP, but any of the ‘yes’ picks on this list will actually make it to Labor Day in one piece — which, after last summer’s sandal graveyard, feels like a genuine victory. One practical note before you order: measure your kid’s feet before every summer purchase. Kids’ feet grow faster than you expect, and a sandal that fits in May can be a problem by July. Go half a size up if you’re on the line. And hey — if you’ve found a sandal that survived your kid’s summer and I missed it, drop it in the comments. Rosie and I are always looking for the next contender, and she takes her product testing very seriously.
