Good summer shoes are uber important for your kid’s little feet.  Kids need to be comfortable, yet supportive, and often times their shoes get soaking wet.  We’ve rounded up some of our favorites for summer 2017! NOTE: Almost every shoe shown below comes in multiple colors which would work for anyone in your household. 

1. Keen Newport H2, starting at $45:  This quick-drying supportive sandal is a must for every kids’ closet.  Ask a seasoned mom, I bet she has these in multiple sizes from summers past.  They come in toddler, little kid and big kid—making it a perfect fit for anyone and everyone.
2. Teva Psyclone 4, $30:  This toddler sandal is PERFECT for a day at the beach.  Wear them in the water, get them wet, take them off, put them on. These easy to wear sandals come in a variety of colors and will become a family favorite. The go up to size 13.  Have a bigger kid? Check out the Teva Tidepool ($30) or Hurricane 2 ($38).
3. Native Kids Shoes, starting at $35:  These shoes are perfect for easy on, easy off. Your child can likely do it by themselves.  Wear them to the pool or to the beach, and keep your toes covered. Get them wet, they won’t smell.  Please remember, these run big.
4. Salt Water Sandals:  From baby to big kids, every color and multiple styles, get your child a pair of these each season. They make any outfit stylish and put together, but the BIG plus to these shoes is that they are made with 100% leather uppers that can be worn both in and out of the water.
5. Cienta Mary Janes, $36:  These MJs are basically a sneaker for warm weather.  With multiple colors to choose from and easy on/easy off, these will shortly become a favorite shoe in your household.
