For boys who are on the move all the time, having easy shoes to slip on is a parent’s lifesaver. Nike has a line of kids’ sandals that are trendy, comfortable and, most importantly, durable. You can find most styles for infants, toddlers, little kids, and big kids. And if your son particularly likes a style, he sees an adult wearing them, have no fear – most adult styles are also available for kids too. There are a variety of shoe types too – flip flops, slip-ons, water shoes, and more.

Other Products We Considered
The BestReviews editorial team researches hundreds of products based on consumer reviews, brand quality, and value. We then choose a shorter list for in-depth research and testing before finalizing our top picks. These are the products we considered that ultimately didn't make our top 5.
