Once the temps heat up, socks come off and little feet need to BREATHE! With toddlers’ high (unbelievably high!?) activity level, they need a shoe that can keep up, while being comfortable, supportive and still protective of their growing feet. The options I have found are all extremely flexible and softly lined, which shouldn’t rub or cause blisters. Plus, since summer shoes need to be useful on land and in water, I’ve found some water friendly options so the only thing standing between your toddler and playtime in the water is a lifeguard and sunscreen. Bring on the sunshine and the family vacations!
