Kids' sandals – for boys and girls - page 2
Kids' sandals are worn all day during the warm months – in kindergarten, at the playground, in town and at the seaside. They need to hold the foot well, have a good sole and be easy to fasten. This category features sandals for boys and girls by Milami, Leon and Pavle.

| Closed heel / heel strap | The sandal stays on while running; the best choice for younger children. |
| Closed toe | Protects toes at the playground, in the garden and on pebble beaches. |
| Velcro | Easy width adjustment and self-dressing; a buckle suits older children. |
| Sole | Non-slip, flexible at the front, with enough tread for outdoor play. |
| Size | Foot length + about 1 cm; do not buy an oversized pair "to grow into". |
Sandals for girls and sandals for boys
The difference is mostly design and colour, while construction is similar. For everyday wear in kindergarten and at the playground choose models with a heel strap and a sturdy sole, regardless of gender. Decorative sandals with a lighter build are better for short outings.
Summer and the seaside
- For the beach, sandals that dry quickly and can be rinsed of sand and salt are practical.
- After the sea, rinse the sandals in lukewarm water and dry them in the shade.
- If the child wears sandals all summer, check the size mid-season.
Pharmacist's tipLet the child wear new sandals for a short time at home first. Look at the foot afterwards – redness where the straps sit means they need loosening or a different model. For children prone to blisters, thin socks help during the first days. |

Frequently asked questions
Which sandals are best for kindergarten?
Sandals with a closed heel or heel strap, Velcro and a non-slip sole – the child can put them on alone and they stay on during play.
How much space should there be in front of the toes?
About 1 cm between the longest toe and the edge of the sandal. Toes must not reach over the edge of the sole.
Can children wear sandals without socks?
Yes. If a blister appears, wear them with thin socks for a few days until the material adapts to the foot.
