Whether you are buying for sunnier days spent in the garden or for your much-needed vacation, kids love to bare their toes in their favourite sandals. The one thing that proves difficult is knowing the benefits, different styles and sizing. Taking an in-depth look at the top brands, here’s our guide to which sandals are the best for kids... What Clarks Kids sandals are most popular?
Clarks' kids' sandals come in an array of colours and prints that reflect the season. The kids' closed-toe collection of sandals is a favourite and the kids' white sandals are a popular colour choice.Clarks Kids Sizing
At Clarks, they recommend 14mm growing room for all styles, except for open-toed sandals and Pre-Walking styles from our First Shoes range – for which they recommend 10mm growing room.For the width, feel along the sides of the shoe with your hands. There should be no pressure or pinching at the sides and the child should be able to move their little toe. When checking their foot sizing pull your fingers across the front of the shoe. There should be sufficient depth for comfort. Then, sit your child down and lift the foot tilted up towards you and pull down gently on the back of the shoe. Make sure that it grips the heel well to stop the foot from slipping off and repeat on the other foot. There’s 4 width sizes, E = Narrow Fit F = Standard Fit G = Wide Fit H = Extra Wide Fit Here’s the Clark's size guide to help you…
