A kid running around in flip-flops can quickly lead to pavement face-plants, which is why Columbia made the Kids' Sun Racer Sandals with adjustable forefoot straps and heel straps. This way, the Sun Racer Sandals strap securely on and keep your kid's feet cool and comfortable. Soft jersey linings on the synthetic nubuck straps won't blister your active one's feet, and rubber outsoles on these Columbia sandals provide traction.

order 1 size larger and you'll be good !

Rating:****
I bought these for my 4 year old son, who has a lot of difficulty with change. Unlike some children who are excited to get new clothes/shoes he often refuses to give up old raggedy things. These sandals are called "racers" so I told him about his racing sandals and showed them to him on the computer and really prepared him for the new shoes before they came. So he was actually excited (a first) Unfortunately they are size at least a full size too small. Because he was so excited about them I didn't want to discourage his newly found ability to adapt to change, but his toes hang off the end and there were none none left in a large size to exchange them for. I am now left to deal with forcing him to adapt to another change and these sandals were a complete waste of my money. However if you order up a size they seem like they will be a good sandal.

The Perfect Little Sandal

Rating:*****
I bought these for my niece.. who is two years old. We've been looking for comfortable and stylish sandals that are easy on and off. I ended up getting the gray with the orange accents.. and they will be perfect to pass down to her new baby brother. This color is a perfect unisex style, not too boyish/girlish, with a wider than average foot bed that will protect their little toes!

Slippery when wet

Rating:****
My twin 3 year old boys love these sandals and we where them to the park, to school and to simply slip on if we have to go to the store. One thing to note is that the sole is slippery when wet. They're a bit flatter than what you'd find on a gym shoe, but other than that they're wonderful

Great kids shoe!

Got these for my 5 year old boy, and he immediately began telling me he can run so fast in them and jump so high (big praise from a kid!). They seem like they will last very well, and work on the playground and in the water at the splash parks. Excellent Deal!

Excellent fit and great quality

Rating:*****
My sons think they are fantastic because thongs won't stay on their feet. They can even wear them in water and the wide front of the shoes mean they won't get any prickles in their toes if walking through a large grassy area.

Terrific Sandals!

Perfect sandals for my toddler son! Whether he's running through the grass or walking around the neighborhood, these haven't tripped him up yet. Super cute style as well. We absolutely love them!

LOVE THEM!

These worked out great for my 20 month old. We were in Disney for 7 days in straight rain. The shoes were rugged, durable, and dried nicely each night. LOVE them!

runs small

Rating:****
My daughter usually wears a size 8 but her toes were almost hanging off the edge. So I'm exchanging the shoes for a size bigger. But she did love the shoes.

Good Sandals

Rating:****
These are for my granddaughter, she loves them but seem slightly small. They only need to last the summer though, so they should be great.

Negative Reviews:

Not a good fit

Rating:**
These shoes look nice but they are too narrow for my son's foot which is a little wide. Also, the shoe has a large front part that seems like it would be awkward for a little person to walk or run with them. There would be about an inch of just rubber in the front. Overall I don't think the shoe is fit to little feet very well at all.

reasonable kid sandals

Rating:***
These are reasonable all purpose runaround sandals for a nice price. And the red is a great color. The reason I don't love them is that the way they are designed,your kid's foot sits pretty far forward, so there's this odd expanse of gray shoe base sticking out behind their heels. The sandals also run wide, so they look kinda clunky.
