How to choose the perfect summer footwear for your child?
For days spent at the pool, the sea, or playing in the sand, clog-style slippers (made of EVA foam) are by far the most practical choice. They protect toes from rocks or shells, the folding strap ensures stability on the heel, and the material washes and dries in an instant. Plus, their light weight makes them float on water.
If you plan long walks in the park, light hikes, or riding a bike/scooter, a pair of sport sandals is mandatory. Look for models with a two or three-point closure (Velcro), which fit perfectly on both narrow and wide feet. A soft, anatomically shaped insole will properly support the child's developing plantar arch.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kids' Sandals
Are EVA foam clogs safe for children's feet?
Yes, EVA foam is a hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and bacteria-resistant material. Thanks to its extremely low weight and shock-absorbing capacity, it is the ideal material for kids' holiday footwear. Furthermore, the sole prevents slipping on wet surfaces.
How do I correctly choose the sandal size for my child?
For summer sandals, it is recommended that the inner sole length be approximately 0.5 - 1 cm larger than the child's foot measured from the heel to the big toe. This extra space allows the foot to move freely while walking, prevents rubbing, and leaves a small margin for growth.
How do you clean beach sandals after playing in the sand?
Clogs and flip-flops made of waterproof materials can be simply washed under a stream of cold or warm water, using a little neutral soap. The sand will wash away instantly. Let them dry in a shaded and ventilated place; avoid leaving them directly under the scorching sun for long periods to prevent the material from deforming.
