Summer means exploration, endless outdoor play, and sunny days spent at the beach or pool.

How to Choose the Ideal Summer Footwear for Your Child?
For playing in the park or evening walks, sandals with a firm grip (velcro on the ankle and toe) are the best choice. They secure the foot well and prevent injuries while running, allowing the skin to breathe.
For the beach, yard, and pool, perforated EVA foam clogs are the star of the season. They are waterproof, wash in a second under running water, dry instantly, and are so light that kids barely feel them on their feet. For older children, classic flip-flops are an excellent and quick option for walking on the sand.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kids' Summer Footwear
Are flip-flops suitable for children who are just learning to walk?
No. For first steps (toddlers), pediatricians recommend footwear that securely holds the ankle and heel. Flip-flops require the toes to grip to stay on the foot and can lead to tripping. For very young children, choose sandals with a firm grip or clogs with the strap placed over the heel.
How do I clean foam clogs if they get stained with grass or mud?
EVA foam clogs are extremely easy to maintain. A simple wash under running water with a little soap and a soft sponge will remove almost any stain. Avoid leaving them to dry in the scorching sun, as the foam can shrink and deform at extreme temperatures.
How do I choose the correct size for kids' sandals online?
Measure the child's foot from the heel to the longest toe. Because a child's foot expands slightly in the summer and to allow room for growth, it is ideal to leave a free space of about 0.5 - 1 cm in front of the toes.
