I'm a little meh on sandals for boys. We'll see if he protests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes/page/2#post-1629002 Mon, 12 May 2014 12:40:35 +0000 Canoli 1629002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last summer we got him Stride Rite Made 2 Play Perry for daycare and they were great. His feet got so smelly but they are washable so I washed them multiple times and they held up great. We got them again for this summer. They only go up to size 8 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes/page/2#post-1628791 Mon, 12 May 2014 11:14:05 +0000 Mommy Finger 1628791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got DS a pair of shoes from Target that look like Keens.

They seem to be cool enough for his feet (it was so hot here this weekend)and they're cute too. </p> [attach=2120/14/n5gy98.58x58.Keens.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628714 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:54:17 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1628714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have full-force heat (but not yet humidity) in FL, so my boys have already been living in these: <a href="http://www.striderite.com/store/SiteController/striderite/strideritesrtbingham/8-144261/catId/cat1530400SR/stockNumber/BB49692/skuId/" rel="nofollow">http://www.striderite.com/store/SiteController/striderite/strideritesrtbingham/8-144261/catId/cat1530400SR/stockNumber/BB49692/skuId/</a>***8********BB49692*M080/subCatId/cat1530728SR/showDefaultOption/true/productdetails.

But they're so cute, I might hang on to them and wait, I'm sure his feet will grow a bit over the summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628693 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:49:53 +0000 chopsuey 1628693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: we got a size 6 and they're a little big on my DS too, but he walks fine in them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628686 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:48:05 +0000 hilsy85 1628686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: I love the natives--I just wish they fit LO better! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628684 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:47:16 +0000 cascademom 1628684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: LO's shoes look like that, but in a different color. I love Stride Rite. So worth the money for the quality of shoe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628677 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:45:19 +0000 chopsuey 1628677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's been wearing these and will wear them hopefully all summer. </p> [attach=45/14/n5gx3j.383x272.Screen-Shot-2014-05-12-at-11.44.41-AM.png] [attach=45/14/n5gx3l.438x412.Screen-Shot-2014-05-12-at-11.44.26-AM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628676 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:45:19 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1628676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure about that.

They've got rubber in the front to prevent scuffing, but look nice enough to wear with dress shorts :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628650 Mon, 12 May 2014 10:36:50 +0000 hilsy85 1628650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: ah ok so I don't think those would work--too bad!

He's worn them for about 2 weeks now, but I'm not sure if he likes them. I think it's just him getting used to wearing shoes with no socks! Once he has them on, he's fine, but he hates putting them on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628317 Mon, 12 May 2014 09:14:53 +0000 lamariniere 1628317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: oh no! I hope they don't get stinky. I read a bunch of mixed reviews about stinky feet, but everyone seemed to love the Keens in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628221 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:38:58 +0000 californiadreams 1628221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: for the park he has been wearing the sneakers. not sure what i will do when the weather gets warmer though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628187 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:27:49 +0000 Sparkler 1628187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Ha, then who knows. I think toddlers have a tough time with different textures in their feet in general. My son just really likes sneakers so I just buy low socks and avoid the fight if he protests! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628161 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:18:40 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1628161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: i think they are looser than natives. they are thinner than crocs but not as fitted as natives.</p> <p>I get Olive natives because i think they are more stylish for little girls. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628119 Mon, 12 May 2014 08:01:24 +0000 hilsy85 1628119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: thanks!</p> <p>@scg00387: ah true...but with sandals I feel like you can at least just take them off and brush them out. </p> <p>@Sparkler: we have the opposite problem, they seem to be too big on him. He can run in them, but I don't like how they seem to be on the verge of slipping off. Not sure if I will keep them for him to grow into or return them. I have heard great things about keens, but also don't love the look. </p> <p>@Sammyfab: do you mean like the sporty sandals? I also really don't like those! I wish LO liked the natives more...I think we have the jeffersons, are the fits different for teh different styles?</p> <p>@lamariniere: I think something like that makes the most sense...I just need to find one we can try on in person that I like the style of!</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I should try those to see if they fit better than the actual natives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1628107 Mon, 12 May 2014 07:53:45 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1628107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie has worn these shoes (fake Natives) for the past three years.

I'm in the south and it's warm, so he's been wearing them about two months. They've been great, though they do make his feet stinky. But they are machine washable and so far have come out looking clean. He wears them every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1627973 Mon, 12 May 2014 03:52:04 +0000 lamariniere 1627973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keen Newport sandals. So far he has only worn them a few times because it hasn't been warm enough. But I LOVE that I can rinse the sand out. I'm hoping they will be his only summer shoes.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DG9PADO/ref=twister_B002R8JPTK" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DG9PADO/ref=twister_B002R8JPTK</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1627937 Sun, 11 May 2014 23:58:25 +0000 tysonja 1627937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.joefresh.com/Categories/Boys/Accessories/Toddler-Boys%E2%80%99-Cut-Out-Sandal/p/TBS4FW9278_006" rel="nofollow">https://www.joefresh.com/Categories/Boys/Accessories/Toddler-Boys%E2%80%99-Cut-Out-Sandal/p/TBS4FW9278_006</a></p> <p>they're cuter than I thought they'd be! and very light and inexpensive.</p> <p>he also will have native millers in black. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1627898 Sun, 11 May 2014 22:19:33 +0000 Sammyfab 1627898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2 pairs of Native Millers (in black and blue/green) and 2 pairs of the Gap knockoff versions. He really likes the Gap knockoff ones and his blue/green pair of Natives. I did buy a pair of the Old Navy knockoffs but ended up returning them because we have so many summer shoes!</p> <p>I personally really dislike the look of boys sandals. I wish my LO would tolerate wearing flip flops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1627838 Sun, 11 May 2014 21:15:26 +0000 Sparkler 1627838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son hates natives too. He doesn't have very wide feet, but I think they are just too tights on his feet and he isn't used to the sensation. We got a knock off pair from old navy and he wears them without complaint, but he can't run full speed in them. I think I may get some Keens even though I don't love the way they look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1627831 Sun, 11 May 2014 21:07:10 +0000 immabeetoo 1627831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: they're cute, but the little boy I babysat in college always got pebble and sticks stuck in the toes of his fisherman style sandals! drove me nuts digging them out from his sweaty feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-toddler-boys-summer-shoes#post-1627830 Sun, 11 May 2014 21:07:00 +0000 matador84 1627830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: stride rite Harper I think??
