Another benefit of sandals for children is their good behavior against water. It cannot be said that they offer the same waterproof performance as flip flops, but they do stand out for their quick drying. In addition, most models do not deteriorate with water, so they can be placed on damp surfaces, as well as machine washed, always following the instructions on the label.
Children's Sandal Designs
The models in this section are renewed season after season, but most of them have some features in common. For example, its ergonomic design. This can be seen in the design of the insole: it is not flat, as is the case with many flip flops, but rather it is slightly curved to better adapt to the physiognomy of the foot.

As far as the strap system is concerned, velcro straps are common, which help to better fit the sandal to your little one's foot, adapting to its size and growing with it. These velcro straps not only appear in the area of the fingers, but also on the back, surrounding the Achilles tendon. A tight fit that will also prevent the development of unwanted chafing, which could lead to injuries. Another increasingly common feature of sandals for boys is the intense and rich color. Blues, reds, oranges and other bright tones are increasingly common in this type of children's footwear. However, neutral tones, such as black and different grays, are still used very often, as well as other more discrete tones: brown, beige, etc.
