Not sure what else we will need yet as DS is just about 1 so this will be his first summer walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2101021 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:39:18 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2101021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keens fr sure - I like that his toes are protected and either Toms or the velcro Sperrys (from stride rite). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2101011 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:33:16 +0000 MoreCoffee 2101011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the look and practicality of Keens, but DS's got very stinky. He needed non-flip-flop sandals for water play at daycare so I bought a pair of Tevas off 6pm and they worked great! I see they are trendy for women right now but I think they are much cuter on toddler feet (kind of like crocs).</p> <p>He also wore a pair of slip-on Vans with no-show socks. I thought those were super cute with shorts for summertime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2101005 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:31:42 +0000 mrsjyw 2101005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: Yep he had no trouble running in them. The thing about crocs though is their sizing being 4/5, 6/7, 8/9... Ds was in between sizes the last part of summer (@adira: which is why we didn't have the next size up!) the 6/7s were too big at the end of summer. He'll probably be in 8/9 or 10+ this summer! :O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100983 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:19:45 +0000 chopsuey 2100983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: not sure how you feel about teenage mutant ninja turtles, but I have a pair of barely worn 6/7.<br /> :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100981 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:17:17 +0000 chopsuey 2100981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did natives and crocs last summer and plan on doing the same this summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100976 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 15:15:09 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2100976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Awesome :) I might see if I can find some.

The keens get stinky! The toms were super cute. But the shoes he wore the most and liked the most were crocs. I'm not a huge fan of crocs but the little ones look cute on little feet. This summer I got him a pair of stride rite sandals and he'll probably get crocs again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100939 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:48:15 +0000 Canoli 2100939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy 2 pair from Stride Rite. One pair for daycare that are washable and are open for air but have a sneaker like bottom and then a nicer pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100910 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:35:03 +0000 edelweiss 2100910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used pedipeds last year and really liked them--sandals with but a closed toe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100891 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:24:15 +0000 mrsjyw 2100891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last summer he lived in natives and crocs.

I got hers off of 6pm for a decent price when they had a sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100863 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:13:13 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2100863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stride rite sandals for every day wear. I need to find something light/waterproof for playing in the backyard and splash pads though. The sandals are great but they take a long time to dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100859 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:08:37 +0000 littlebug 2100859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have sneakers and sandals for D.

Way cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100856 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 14:06:27 +0000 looch 2100856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sneakers with socks, they're the only things that work for his sweaty feet, I can't put him in shoes without socks any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100842 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 13:54:42 +0000 LC 2100842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have a DD but we did Keens and Toms last summer, she loved both but the Toms do not wear well at all. I purchased both brands on Zulily in the last month or so for this summer... Keens were $25 and Toms were around $22. Worth signing up and keeping an eye out, both brands are on there fairly frequently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100822 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 13:50:39 +0000 OhCaptain 2100822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved my sons keens last summer.

Will do the same this summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-shoes-for-toddler-boys#post-2100805 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 13:44:12 +0000 lamariniere 2100805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had Keens last summer for DS and I really liked them. The only downside is that they get stinky! I hope he still fits in them this summer so I don't have to find something new. </p>
