A new season often means one thing… a whole new shoe wardrobe. It’s time to pack away the winter boots and get ready for sandal season. From podiatrist-recommended styles, to easy velcro fastenings, and dreamy detailing, Absolutely Mama Carly Glendinning curates her favourite styles for her four year old this spring…

Kids shoes for every occasion this spring…

Wheat Corey Sandals

Your little one will wear these super cute sandals from Wheat to death this spring and summer. The dusky colour palette will go with everything, and the buttery soft leather will get more and more comfy with every wear. My daughter loves how supportive this style is, making it perfect for the playground and scooting to school. The velcro straps get a big tick from us as well.

Bobux Strand Sandals

Podiatrist-approved, Bobux’s sandals are supportive and cushioned to keep little feet comfy all spring and summer long. My daughter likes to put her own shoes on now, and the velcro straps over the ankle and toe on this style were really easy for her to do. The happy Daffodil yellow shade tones well with her spring wardrobe, and I love that it’s a totally unisex shade. We’ll be wearing these with dresses, wide trousers, and to parties, picnics, and on holiday.

Zig + Star Cosmic Sandals

Zig + Star’s podiatrist-approved styles are made with growing feet in mind. The brand’s play-ready ‘Cosmic’ style is super supportive and comfy for little feet, and made with extra wiggle-room. I love the new bronze colour-way, which feels special enough for parties, festivals, and meals out on holiday. This style is the perfect mix of comfy and easy-to-wear with a little added sparkle!

Start-Rite Luxe T-Bar Shoes

My daughter calls these her ‘princess shoes’. This style reminds me of the party shoes I had from Start-Rite when I was a little girl – the perfect blend of nostalgia and pretty detailing. The dusky pink shade is spot on – not too sugary sweet. Again, the velcro straps are perfect for determined toddlers who want to put on their own shoes. And the quality is really great, so you know they’ll last.

Monsoon Children Under the Sea Clogs

A pair of clogs are a must for the beach, the garden, (or even just their nursery bag) this spring and summer. This cute style from Monsoon Children has it all – from a dusting of glitter to seaside charms. My daughter is obsessed! You’ll get more wear out of these than you think over the summer months.

Lightweight and flexible, these barefoot shoes from Young Soles offer retro styling with the punch detailing, and forward-thinking design. A riptape fastening is hidden behind the buckle – making them super easy for little ones to put on. My daughter is starting school nursery this term, and this is the perfect shoe for a cross between smart, supportive, and super comfy.

With a velcro-fastening they are perfect for little ones who are learning to put their own shoes on in readiness for big school. We’ll also take them on holiday this summer.
