Aqua shoes

[Deleted]

Did you have any for your toddler for splash pads?

Btw, this brought to you by my husband who is foot- germ paranoid. It hadn't even occurred to me and he phrased it like, "Have you bought Cassie Aqua shoes yet?" So, clearly he thinks they are necessary, lol.

We did. For germs and for safety reasons (in case there was anything sharp on the ground). We mostly went to splash pads in the city playgrounds though, so it just seemed like a good idea. DS also wears them at the beach which has worked out when the sand is very hot. I'm a fan.

We have a pair of Keens and a pair of saltwater sandals. The saltwater sun-seas are regular leather sandals but can get wet. Love those things.

I bought dd saltwaters, thanks redheadk ! I love them because they can get wet but they also look cute to wear with all summer outfits. We took then to beach last week and they were great. Dd liked them and they look comfortable

We did. We bought them at target, and I would make DD1 wear them anytime we were at the beach, splash pad, or playing with water in the back yard. It's not even so much the germs, but to keep her from slipping or stepping on something dangerous.

I bought E a pair of Skidders water shoes from Zulily the week before last. Haven't received them yet, but they looked like they'd fit the bill.

We just buy him aqua shoes from Academy - they have baby and kids sizes as well as adults. Like others have said, it's less about germs and more about not hurting his feet on anything sharp or hot. He also wears them to play in the sprinkler in the backyard and when we go swimming in rivers/lakes with rocky bottoms.

Not sure what size your DD will be in, but I've bought these for DD the past two summers for the splash park and really liked them. The white does flake off a bit but not bad. And, she can easily wear them from the sprayground to the park or to do some errands without needing another pair of shoes.

I've gotten water shoes from WalMart for the past two years that are fantastic. They're OP brand, and cost about $7.

[dbsk8dance]

We use Keens.

[pugz]

I saw Target had some in their pool section, I will probably get a pair

[mswax]

We use crocs

Daycare requires them for semiweekly water play in the summer. I get the speedo ones from target (in the swim section best toys, not baby or shoes)

Are there any that have closed toes? I found these and really like them but don't like DD to have open toed shoes.

We did striderite sandles that could be worn in the water. They had closed toes. Like these - www.shoebuy.com/stride-rite-m2p-baby-perry/604528/1241674?cm_mmc=googleproductads_pla-_-none-_-none-_-{keyword}

Saltwaters or Keens? The link is dead. The closest Saltwater closed toed sandal is this one: www.amazon.com/Salt-Water-Sandals-Shoe-Toddler/dp/B004XVUYRG/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1395022747&sr=8-8&keywords=hoy+shoes.

Saltwaters. I have two keens for the summer already. How do saltwaters run? DD is still a size 3, sometimes 3.5 in stride rite. I'm hoping the size 4 keens I have for her fit this summer and aren't too big.

We don't use water shoes at splashpads. We do have some that they wear in the lake.

They run huge. DD wears a size 4 shoe typically (about to move up) and her size 3 saltwaters fit great with a bit of room to grow.
