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.

Cons

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

Bottom Line

Not as supportive as traditional Tevas, but straps keep sandals on feet better than standard flip-flops.

Cons

Not as easy to slip on as a regular flip flop.

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.
