They seem like the same material as a croc, but they look like gym shoes. He has crocs too, but they are big on him and fall off when he runs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582814 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 19:53:41 +0000 pwnstar 2582814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: That's a great deal! I hope you (both) like them as much as we do! And yes, the toddler sizes for SKR are slightly smaller than the same size in the big kid sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582809 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 19:46:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 2582809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: @lawbee11: reviews say they run small which is perfect, since she's not quite an 8 yet anyway. They look more comfy than the others I was looking at. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582804 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 19:39:53 +0000 lawbee11 2582804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Get them!!

I try to buy ahead during their sales, and also look for deals on Amazon. Every once in a while I will pay full price for shoes, but 90% of the time, everything is on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582511 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 13:50:13 +0000 lawbee11 2582511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Sign up for their emails. They sometimes have deals like 3 pairs for $50 shipped (which is how I got the sandals). I've also found good deals on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582480 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 13:23:41 +0000 Smurfette 2582480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I always wait and buy from their clearance section. She wears the same size in ON and other shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582478 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 13:21:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2582478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @Smurfette: @pwnstar: those would be perfect! Where do you find skr cheap? They run true to size? </p> <p>She's not in daycare so no limits on crocs, but I don't think they are as cute on girls. I like that she could put those sandals on herself (as opposed to the traditional Natives that look like a sneaker). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582405 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:28:16 +0000 Pancakes 2582405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Natives or keens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582402 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:23:01 +0000 caterw 2582402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have gotten these for the past two summers- they are a little more expensive ($27) but DD gets a lot of use out of them since she can use them as water shoes or instead of sneakers if it's too hot for socks. </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/toddler-girls-surprize-by-stride-rite-kora-hiking-sandals-pink/-/A-23947122#prodSlot=medium_1_12&#038;term=toddler+pink+sandals" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/toddler-girls-surprize-by-stride-rite-kora-hiking-sandals-pink/-/A-23947122#prodSlot=medium_1_12&#038;term=toddler+pink+sandals</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/water-shoes-for-splash-pad-and-beach#post-2582369 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 11:48:45 +0000 pwnstar 2582369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @Adira: Ditto for our center--Crocs are not allowed at all, not even for water park.

Croc style is what I was thinking but don't want to pay $30 for something she won't wear a lot. </p> <p>@FaithFertility: we had a pair from stride rite last summer that got so so stinky. It was gross! </p>
