These Northside sandals are absolutely perfect for active kids! The Burke II closed toe design provides great protection for little feet while still being open and breathable for summer weather. They're constructed from all waterproof synthetic materials, so they can handle water, mud, and whatever else kids get into without getting ruined. The rugged flexible upper has breathable inserts and faux leather overlays with EVA backing for comfort, plus an abrasion-resistant toe guard that really protects against stubbed toes. The lightweight EVA insole is padded for all-day comfort, and the elastic drawstring lacing system keeps them securely on little feet while making them easy to get on and off. There's even a heel pull loop to help with slipping them on quickly. But here's the really cool part - they come with this awesome carry bag that has a mesh pocket for drying your shoes and a separate waterproof pocket to keep wet shoes away from things you want to keep dry! Perfect for after swimming or playing in water. These sandals are built on a foundation that provides good support for hiking, biking, playground time, or just everyday summer adventures. They offer all the features and comfort of more expensive brands but at a much more affordable price point. Your kids will love how comfortable they are, and you'll love how durable they are and that they come with that genius wet/dry bag. Definitely a summer essential for any active child!
