I just got a pair for J. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-882111 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 09:39:27 +0000 T-Mom 882111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: You should ask @autumnlove: She has the same pair. We had this exact style and my DD wasn't really a fan. But she was a brand new walker at the time, and the sole was rather thick for her. My choice would probably be the tevas, but definitely the saltwaters are cuter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881915 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:45:29 +0000 Weagle 881915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: hmmm... Well, if they're $15 I would go with that! :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881907 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:43:24 +0000 regberadaisy 881907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I still see it? Amazon Warehouse deal; it's used but good condition? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881896 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:40:21 +0000 Weagle 881896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I think they were &lt;$10. Where are you finding Saltwaters for $15? That link says they are unavailable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881883 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:36:02 +0000 regberadaisy 881883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: how much were your Osh Kosh shoes from Target? The saltwaters are $15 and I figure they might last for #2 if #2 is a girl or better resale than the cheaper $7 pair I saw at Marshalls? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881874 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:34:14 +0000 Weagle 881874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: We got some cheap OshKosh water shoes from Target. Around the house she goes barefoot, but we or these for the park, splash pad, etc. At this age I don't think Saltwaters are worth it. If you want something for bumming around the house, I say go cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881859 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:32:08 +0000 regberadaisy 881859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: haha I've been putting it off thinking she'll be fine in her Brooks. But they just don't work for water and if I let her walk in the backyard with no shoes on she starts crying bc the concrete gets <i>really</i> hot. Usually if she's playing at the water table I put a carpet square underneath. But beyond that she wants to walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881843 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:28:39 +0000 mediagirl 881843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @Weagle has a good point. Even with the soles, the Saltwaters are more multi-purpose. BUT...does she really NEED sandals this summer? There are just two more months in the summer and she could go barefoot if you don't want to put shoes and socks on her, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881823 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:21:41 +0000 Weagle 881823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say Saltwaters just because I'm all about multi-purpose. Next year Saltwaters will be our summer shoes so she can wear the same pair to the park, pool, church, etc. I hate keeping up with multiple pairs of shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881817 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:18:59 +0000 mediagirl 881817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the soles on those Saltwater Sandals are ugly so I say Teva all the way. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-sandals#post-881811 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 08:17:15 +0000 regberadaisy 881811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M desperately needs a pair of sandals. I want it to be multipurpose, good for every day wear to daycare, out and about and for water play. Playing in the backyard pool side and at the water table etc.</p> <p>There's two good options on Amazon Warehouse now (thanks @mrs. bird: !)</p> <p>Option 1:<br /> Saltwater Sandals; which I think will be cuter for day to day wear too<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/njfp5ho" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/njfp5ho</a></p> <p>Option 2: Teva<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/qxxu5cn" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/qxxu5cn</a></p> <p>LO is 14 months and a confident walker now but up till now she's been in soft soled SKRs. Which ones will be a better transition for her? </p>
