The Tinley

Not only are these sandals adorable, but they're also made with 100% premium top-grain leather, so you can be sure that your child's feet will stay cool, dry, and blister-free. And with multiple entrance options, including a zippered back and elastic laces, these sandals are easy to put on and take off, yet stay securely in place on even the chubbiest little feet.

As Dr. Jane Andersen, a podiatrist at InStride Chapel Hill Foot & Ankle Associates, notes, "barefoot shoes allow the foot to move and grow as naturally as possible."
