Summer means it’s time for sandals that allow little toes to breathe. However, if you’re like me, navigating the world of footwear for a curious and active toddler can be a challenge.
For instance, putting on adorable little flip-flops is often a recipe for disaster, resulting in tumbles or your child running barefoot on rough surfaces. While sneakers are an option, the struggle to get them seated for socks and shoes can feel endless. Plus, if there’s a chance of splashing in a kiddie pool or running through a sprinkler, you’ll end up with wet shoes—what a mess!
Fortunately, I recently found the perfect balance of comfort, safety, and practicality: the Everyday Sandals from Ten Little. This summer, they’re the only shoes my 18-month-old will wear.
Why I Love Them
Here’s why I love them: The closed-toe caged design fits snugly, providing ventilation while keeping them on his feet. The velcro straps make them a breeze to put on and take off, which is essential for a toddler who’s always on the go. With thick, natural rubber soles, they shield his feet from hazards like rocks, gravel, and hot pavement, yet remain lightweight and flexible, allowing him to move freely. Plus, they’re water-resistant, making them perfect for sprinkler escapades. Finding the right size is easy too, thanks to Ten Little’s straightforward shoe sizing guide that ensures a comfy fit.
Ten Little Summer Bundle
If you want your little one to enjoy summer in style, consider the Ten Little Summer Bundle. It includes a pair of Everyday Sandals, your choice of a UPF 50+ Cotton Bucket Hat or AquaDry Bucket Hat (which is also water-resistant for beach days), and kid-friendly Rashambo x Ten Little Sunglasses that are nearly indestructible—just choose the color and size for each item.
The Ten Little Everyday Sandals are unisex, crafted from non-toxic, vegan materials, and come in four adorable colors: Sandy Brown, Navy Camo, Steel Gray, and Sparkle Pink. Your little explorer can keep adventuring while you breathe a sigh of relief.
