Summer Shoe Guide



Hooray for Summer!

If you are like us you are excited for summer, not just because summer shoes are so cute and comfy, but because you're tired of sorting and searching for matching socks! Am I right? Summer is a great time to feel the earth under your bare feet, but what do you look for in an ideal summer shoe when you need something more? Let us help guide you toward summer shoe bliss!

When considering summer shoes for your little one keep age, development, and activity in mind. Younger babies and developing walkers will have differing shoe choices and needs than more active bigger kids.

1. Toe Protection: Little toes can be pretty tender. When looking for toddler sandals, you'll want to protect their toes with a closed-toe or peep-toe shoe. A closed-toe shoe will prevent stubs, scrapes, and debris from entering the shoe and hurting little feet. Save the open-toes shoes for big kids and grown-ups!

2. Back Buffer: Look for a sandal with a closed back, this will protect the heel and ankle. Plus it will help the shoe to remain securely on squirmy, active little feet!

3. Materials: Opt for natural, breathable materials when selecting any shoes for your child. Leather makes a beautiful choice for a durable shoe. Canvas is a great choice for infants and developing walkers. Nylon is great when water is involved, as these will dry the quickest. Steer away from non-breathable plastics, especially for younger children.

4. Traction: The biggest thing you'll want to avoid is slips and falls, especially on the pool deck! Look for a rubber sole with lots of channels for water wicking. Suede is a great option for younger babies to gain traction indoors.

5. Comfort: Whether at the beach, the pool, or your own backyard, your child will be most comfortable in shoes or sandals that allow a little air to get their toes. Be sure to choose shoes that won't constrict their natural movements and allow their toes to wiggle freely.

Whatever you choose, be sure to stay hydrated, wear your sunblock and and have fun!

From all of us at TinySoles, we wish you a happy and safe summer! Stay cool!!

Product Spotlight: See Kai Run

Meet the See Kai Run family...

See Kai Run® is the idea of Seattle mom, Cause Haun. In 2004, she was on a quest for the perfect first shoe for her son, Kai. Unable to find fun, sophisticated styles that promoted healthy little feet, she created her own. Eleven years later See Kai Run is a dedicated group of people passionate about healthy footwear for kids. They have the experience and footwear knowledge to ensure that every style they produce features the best materials and construction for kids of all ages.

Launched in 2008, Smaller by See Kai Run is a line of soft-soled baby shoes with bold, hip designs that are anything but ordinary. Made from soft leather that protects and supports, Smaller encourages natural movement and foot development. Flexible suede soles allow tiny feet to move, grip and feel the floor and non-slip rubber pads provide traction ideal for crawling and cruising. These stylish, hand-crafted shoes have made See Kai Run the brand parents crave for their little ones.


The original See Kai Run shoes are a line of foot friendly shoes designed for new walkers. Available in kids sizes 3-9, See Kai Run provide the perfect combination of protection and flexibility and come in fun, sophisticated styles that are durable for outdoor play. See Kai Run promote healthy development of little feet with their flexible rubber soles that encourage maximum movement, enhancing balance and muscle development. A wide, soft toe box gives room for toes to move and allows the foot to flex naturally. With a wide opening and toe box, See Kai Run shoes can accommodate even the chubbiest little feet.

It's time to take the next step with Kai by See Kai Run - modern footwear for post-toddlers and school aged kids. In 2011 SKR created a line especially for big kids, Kai shoes feature durable uppers combined with sturdy and flexible rubber soles that support a natural stride.
