Swim sandals for children

At House of Kids, we love spending time in the water, and swim sandals are a great addition to any trip to the beach or pool. Your child can easily slip them on when heading to the beach or pool, helping to protect little feet from sharp stones, slippery floors and hot sand. We offer a fantastic selection for both girls and boys from many popular brands, including Hummel, Hugo Boss, MOLO and Calvin Klein.

Our swim sandals are available for young children right through to the teenage years, with sizes ranging from 24 to 41. We do not recommend this style for very young children who have just learned to walk, as this type of sandal does not provide enough support and can be difficult for them to walk in. All our styles are made from soft, comfortable materials and are, of course, suitable for use in water.

Fashionable in the summer heat

If you have an older child or teenager who no longer likes traditional sandals, swim sandals could be the perfect compromise. They offer a sporty design that looks great while leaving the foot feeling free. Wearing socks and trainers can be uncomfortable when summer is in full swing, and especially during the holidays, it is lovely for older children to swap closed shoes for something more open. Brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein are always popular with older boys and girls. You may be wondering whether it is worth spending money on a pair of swim sandals that will only be worn for a week in Crete. However, they are also incredibly practical for getting to and from sports activities. If you have a football-mad boy, he can simply slip into his flip-flops to and from training, saving you from dealing with grass all over the car. Or if badminton is a favourite at your house, swim sandals are quick and easy to put on when your child has taken off their indoor shoes after a tough training session.

For younger children who also have a pair of regular sandals, swim sandals are a really practical option for getting to and from the pool while on holiday. They help protect your child from slipping on wet tiles and from stepping on sharp objects on the way to the water. At the beach, there may also be sharp stones along the water's edge, making it difficult to get into the water and enjoy playing in the waves. Swim sandals are a clever solution, as your child can wear them in the water, meaning the fun does not have to depend on finding a perfect white-sand beach.
