I don't think I can wait another 3 years for cute sandals! :silly: </p> <p>@beesknees: I am looking for these in the gold but they're sold out everywhere. Yellow sounds like a great option!</p> <p>@JerricaBenton: @Sparkler: True! I think I will see how she does with the Originals next week. She doesn't seem to have trouble with any kind of shoes we've tried yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1671208 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 11:18:46 +0000 Sparkler 1671208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put mine in classic saltwater at 12 months, but she had been walking for months. They are open toed, but the toes aren't really exposed and we've never had an issue with scraping toes or anything. They are seriously adorable and she loves them. She grabs them and bring them over to us to put them on her first thing in the morning. They run big too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1671187 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 10:40:15 +0000 JerricaBenton 1671187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo's been walking for about 5.5 months and she's walking just fine in original style saltwater sandals. I think that style is the cutest and offers more foot coverage than some of the other styles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1671155 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 09:50:29 +0000 hilsy85 1671155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't put my LO in open toed shoes-- he is so clumsy! I'd be so nervous about him stubbing his toes, tripping, or dropping things on his feet outside, or hurting his toys while kicking a ball, etc. Jumping Jacks makes some pairs that are super cute and they have velcro closures </p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/jumping-jacks-kids-sea-fish-toddler-little-kid-white-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/jumping-jacks-kids-sea-fish-toddler-little-kid-white-leather</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1671090 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 08:44:14 +0000 beesknees 1671090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto on the salt waters. Bought them last summer (yellow sweethearts) lasted all summer. Could be dressed up or down- and easy to clean them up to look good again. They matched everything! Bought them again for this summer. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1671086 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 08:40:20 +0000 woodentulip 1671086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 year old just got her first pair of open toed sandals (we got her two pairs of saltwater sandals for this summer!), and she still manages to get her feet caught and falls all the time! Our go-to summer shoes are keens. They are clunky, but my girls have had great luck with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670960 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:35:20 +0000 pinkcupcake 1670960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't put her in open toed sandals until she turned two (this summer). She started walking in march 2013, and I kept her in stride rites all summer. I felt like they provided the most support for her when she was so unsteady on her feet. </p> <p>This summer I bought her a pair of white saltwaters - so cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670956 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:25:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1670956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Dang it! I tried searching for them, and I can't find them anywhere on the interwebz!</p> <p>You should check out that brand, though, and see if you find anything cute. I think it's a European brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670952 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:21:02 +0000 shopaholic 1670952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Cute! Sold out. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670951 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:20:14 +0000 shopaholic 1670951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: The wide strap kind her foot was sliding forward and her toes touch the ground, if that makes sense. Probably because she's in between sizes. But I DID find another pair of ON jelly (similar to your style) that I hoarded last year on sale! :D<br /> Yes, I am going to try the Saltwaters soon!</p> <p>@bhbee: Are those waterproof too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670949 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:19:23 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1670949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put W in these about 5-6 weeks after she started walking. They are really sturdy and provided a lot of support for her ankles, which really helped. (I don't know if you can tell, but they go up kind of high in the back.)</p> <p>I have noticed a lot of open toed sandals are kind of flimsy and don't offer support--these is not great for our new walking babes! These were seriously AWESOME. Her first pair of hard-soled shoes.</p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/kickers_colmar_sandal_baby_walker/thing?id=78415510" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/kickers_colmar_sandal_baby_walker/thing?id=78415510</a> </p> [attach=1616/14/n6h2ob.350x537.kickers-colmar.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670804 Sat, 31 May 2014 20:16:24 +0000 bhbee 1670804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: probably diapers.com? often you can find a good coupon there. last year we had the pediped originals which have a very soft sole. they also make some more structured soles.</p> <p><a href="http://www.diapers.com/buy/Type=Casual+Sandals%7CWater+Ready+Sandals?s=pediped" rel="nofollow">http://www.diapers.com/buy/Type=Casual+Sandals%7CWater+Ready+Sandals?s=pediped</a></p> <p>here are the exact ones we had, they were so cute and worked perfectly for a new walker.</p> <p><a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/pediped-originals-daphne-661712" rel="nofollow">http://www.diapers.com/p/pediped-originals-daphne-661712</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670796 Sat, 31 May 2014 20:12:39 +0000 Smurfette 1670796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R wears ON flip flops and SKR sandals on the weekend and does fine with them.

There's extra room in front of her toes, but I just do them tight around her ankle. Wearing them in the bath &amp; then letting her walk around with them wet will help stretch/fit them quicker, but they will still take a little time to flex with her foot. </p> <p>Sadie's feet are super small too, but she fits in the ON jellies fine. Why weren't they fitting? I can look at my ON &amp; see if they have any of the close-toed left - they had a bunch last time I was there. What size/color? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670776 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:57:11 +0000 shopaholic 1670776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babynumber1: @photojane: I bought K a couple pairs of the Original Saltwater sandals before she could walk and they were still too big. I think I'll have to pull them out soon. But I was wondering if the Sea Wees or SunSan Sweetheart styles might be better for a new walker? Which style SW do you have?</p> <p>@photojane: The closed-toed ones she's outgrowing are ON too! We tried on these ones and they're too big - her feet slope forward and out. I'm kicking myself for not buying another one bow they're all sold out and I've been to 3 ONs!</p> <p>@78h2o: Those are great! I found a pair at Nord Rack awhile back, but they were too small. :(</p> <p>@bhbee: I'll have to look those up. Where did you buy them?</p> <p>@Bao: lol! You know why I'm worried. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670761 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:43:36 +0000 Bao 1670761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is in open toed ones and she is so clumsy but she's been totally fine with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670760 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:42:54 +0000 bhbee 1670760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used pediped closed toe sandals the year LO learned to walk. They still had softer soles but had some stability. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670755 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:36:32 +0000 photojane 1670755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadie's been walking since December, so she obviously wasn't in open-toed shoes right away, but she's super clumsy &amp; still does fine in them. She's got tons, but my favorite are her jellies from Old Navy (picture below). I like Sadie's Salt Waters, but they might be hard for K to walk in now. They're pretty stiff at first &amp; have to be broken in.</p> <p>[attach=1879/14/n6gscw.285x261.Screen-shot-2014-05-31-at-8.34.34-PM.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/open-toed-sandals-toddlers#post-1670752 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:34:17 +0000 78h2o 1670752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Julia has to have closed toed sandals for daycare.

How long had they been walking? K is outgrowing her closed-toed soft jelly shoes and I wish I had the foresight to buy another pair a size up! </p> <p>Besides the soft-sole issue, I'm having a hard time finding closed toed and waterproof ones that I like aesthetically as well. She has only been walking about 3 weeks. </p>
