Should I buy a bigger size to last?

Our answer is to buy the size that fits and not to be drawn towards buying a bigger size, this is  ensure good foot health avoiding blistering of sandals on the fee.t 

Whether your sandals have one strap or multiple, they should securely hold your foot in place without causing any discomfort or rubbing against your skin. Adjustable straps are a plus as they allow you to customise the fit according to your foot's unique shape.

Look for sandals that provide adequate arch support to help distribute your body weight evenly and reduce strain on your feet. A contoured footbed or cushioned sole can make a world of difference, especially if you plan on walking long distances in your sandals.

 

Before committing to a pair of sandals, take them for a test walk around the store to gauge their comfort and fit. Pay attention to any areas of discomfort or rubbing, as these issues are likely to worsen over time.

What to look out for in sandals 

Are they adjustable?

This is a key thing to consider as adjustable is great for those with different width fittings, another reason you want to consider this is due to heat, when your little ones are running around and playing, their feet will expand in the heat, therefore it is important to be able to adjust the straps when needed to keep their feet comfortable.  All our sandals have adjustable straps, to ensure they can be changed for comfort.
