DREAM PAIRS Boys & Girls Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid Outdoor Summer Sandals

Added in August 2019: I ordered another pair because my child outgrew them, and they appeared to have resolved sizing issues because I ordered based on previous experience of being extremely large, and the size 11 was smaller than the previous year's size 10! I'm going to go back and order his correct size!br>br>Update: The shoes were photographed after two summers in Colorado (due to the shorter summer season). They've been worn both dry and wet, and they've seen a lot of action. These are fantastic once you've figured out the sizing. They're now being passed down to my youngest, who hopes to use them for another summer. br>br>Appears to be a good shoe, but check the sizing as they run a little big. Because previous models of these sandals were reported to run small, I ordered a 1/2 size larger than my children's normal sizes. My oldest is a size 12 (he usually wears an 11). 5) and my eldest (who usually wears a size 9) 5) a 10. My oldest son was able to fit into the size 10 I ordered from my youngest son because the 12 was so big! Now all I have to do is figure out what size to get the youngest!br>br>For size reference, a size 12 was just under 9" long and a size 10 was 8" long.

These shoes are adorable, and they appear to be well-made and durable. The fact that the bottoms are extremely nonslip is a huge plus for me. They're about a size or two too big. The size 9s in the photo are next to the size 9s that my daughter outgrew.

Because my son's foot is a little wide, we've always gone with a brand name like Kamik or Keen. I hesitated to buy these because I couldn't find the color he wanted or the size he needed. They're big enough for his foot to walk through. He wears them in the lake and river on a regular basis because the length is true to size. They are high-quality footwear. The velcro holds up well, and the material does not flake off like some cheaper brands. I will order from this brand again because of the high quality and low price.

They're absolutely wonderful. br>br>I purchased these for my three-year-old daughter, who is almost four years old. She's a "spirited" young lady who is very active. As a result, she is rough on shoes (and pretty much everything else). So far, they appear to be very strong and durable. The heavy-duty toe area is my favorite part of the shoe. Despite their heavy duty nature, they are neither heavy nor uncomfortable. They were an excellent match for her. I used the size measurements, which turned out to be correct for us. br>br>They are also a hit with my daughter. She is adamant about not wearing it. She literally wants them on as soon as she wakes up and to keep them on until bedtime. I'll definitely be back for more. br>br> They're the ideal summer shoe, especially for activities that require you to be outside.

We are a foster care organization. As adoptive parents, we've purchased many pairs of Dream Pairs shoes for the many children who have graced our home. Dream Pairs shoes are made of high-quality materials. Even for children who are hard on their shoes, these shoes are well-made. They usually have a toe-up look to them. These sandals are ideal because they don't rub on little feet (even behind the ankle), are easy to adjust for various foot widths, and have a sturdy yet flexible sole. Despite the fact that they don't advertise it, Dream Pair shoes are also easy to clean. I wash and line dry all of my shoes, whether they are running shoes, sneakers, or sandals. They always clean up beautifully and keep their shape and sturdiness.

I purchased these sandals for my son to wear to bed- Camp is far away. They do run a little big - they're about a size up. as stated in the product description by the manufacturer However, if you follow that advice and order as directed, the company's suggested sizing is correct. My 11-year-old son is dressed in a size 6 shoe. We ordered a size 5 in these because he wears a size 5 in his sneakers, and it fit him perfectly. They fit, but there's some wiggle room. br>br>These shoes are comfortable, according to my son, and he likes that they can be adjusted in a variety of ways to fit his feet properly. He can tighten or loosen the back velcro straps on his heel, and the top velcro and drawstring can be adjusted as well. On his foot, he can adjust the string to make it tighter or looser. I can't comment on their durability because he hasn't used them at camp yet. But, as long as they last the two weeks he'll be gone, they'll be a good investment for the $20 I paid.

These are fantastic play shoes, and they're also reasonably priced. They do, however, run VERY LARGE. My daughter usually wears a size 12 1/2, so after reading that these run large, I bought her a size 12 in the hopes that she would be able to grow into them. They had been enormous! She can't wear it without tripping on it because it's too big. I ordered a size 11 pair for her, and they fit her perfectly. We decided to keep the others because I'm confident she'll grow into them and they appear to be nice shoes. To summarize, these appear to run about a size and a half too large, but they are otherwise excellent.

Other reviews mentioned that these sandals run large, so I went with a 12 instead of a 13 (I usually size up) because these are huge! They should have been a size 13 if not a size 1! They appear to be of good quality and should last a long time. However, I fear that summer will pass before my child is able to wear these shoes.
