Bottom Line

A more feminine look for young fashionistas who reject Teva's more typical styles.

Open toe for quick water drainage. Adjustable hook-and-loop straps. Pull tab at back. Comes in silver/magenta (Zappos and Amazon), light blue, purple, pink and black (Amazon). Lightweight, waterproof, injection-molded upper. Foam midsole, synthetic outsole.

Ankle straps are hard to cinch small enough for children with very thin legs.

Teva is known for durable play-hard sandals that can withstand a fun day at the beach and a long hike afterwards. Hook-and-loop fasteners and slip-in design make them easy for kids to maneuver on their own. Their ability to serve as both a water shoe and a dry shoe make them a practical option for parents. Some Tevas are better suited for water-only activities, so keep that in mind when purchasing. We recommend choosing a sandal with a heel strap for active kids, to get the most value for your money.
