The first summer we had them for L she wore them all the time and they lasted the whole summer. But there are other good options too so I think you have a couple you can choose from that you can't go wrong with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533953 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:55:37 +0000 Sammyfab 1533953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I highly, highly recommend Natives! They're the cuter version of Crocs :happy: . My son wore them all last summer. They're super easy to put on/ take off, machine-washable and they don't get stinky. He had 2 pairs last summer and I have 2 pairs for him this summer (plus a pair of Gap knock-offs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533764 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:54:35 +0000 septca 1533764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great - thank you all so much! We'll do Crocs or water shoes for the water and I will get a pair of Salt Waters for her everyday shoe. I have a pair of sneakers in the next size - for fall, but I don't want tod eal with socks and hot, sweaty feet all summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533730 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:37:19 +0000 looch 1533730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is going to camp this summer and Crocs and flip flops are on the banned shoe list, so he's going in his sneakers. I get two pairs, and at the end of the summer, we'll replace them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533725 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:35:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 1533725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E loves to play with the hose and lived in Crocs last summer. I liked them because he couldn't slip and they dried super fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533723 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:33:44 +0000 Weagle 1533723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Yes, but I don't know if I would make them your primary water shoe. Ours will also be used for church and nicer outfits, so I don't want to totally wear them out in the water. Target sells really cheap water shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533711 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:30:49 +0000 septca 1533711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So what I hearing is that Saltwaters are totally okay? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533641 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:14:50 +0000 Smurfette 1533641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533619 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:04:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1533619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take out the category for the pool. Most good sandals are leather and you won't want them getting wet. </p> <p>We had a pair of Saltwater sandals and a pair of SKR that we loved (easy to put on) </p> <p>But for the pool she just used a pair of crocs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533615 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:02:59 +0000 sandy 1533615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved these crocs for my LO last summer (she was 19-21 months last summer). They stayed on her feet and she could get them wet and never slipped at the splash park. They are sturdy and she walked/ran great in them. And they were so cute on her feet - we got so many compliments on them last summer. They are way cuter on than in the photo </p> <p><a href="http://m.nordstrom.com/Product/Details/3595367?categoryid=null" rel="nofollow">http://m.nordstrom.com/Product/Details/3595367?categoryid=null</a> </p> [attach=429/14/n3axm8.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533607 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 07:59:48 +0000 Mamaof2 1533607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: @Smurfette: BTDT = Been There Done That</p> <p>We use shoes like @Smurfette: posted - I get them from Kohls or Marshalls - </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533605 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 07:59:17 +0000 Weagle 1533605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a pair like @Smurfette: last summer and they were great, except they took forever to dry.

They are from Target. They were great last weekend when she was playing on the deck and with her water table. </p> [attach=1508/14/n3axbs.410x410.14898839_Alt01_201311211358.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533560 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 07:47:13 +0000 shellio 1533560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what BTDT means :) But I know a lot of people love Crocs. A friend of mine received a pair as a gift and when she realized her kids could put them on themselves, she bought a pair for each child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-shoes-for-summer#post-1533558 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 07:44:41 +0000 septca 1533558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BTDT moms - what type of summer shoe do you recommend for an 18-ish month old? It's hot here in the summer, so I want something airy and possibly open - and something that can get wet (at the spray ground or pool). I don't really want to spend the money on Keens because she is growing so fast. Any other good options? Are something like salt water sandals too open for a toddler??? Tell me what to buy! </p>
