Depends on what size your child is. My daughter is 2.5 & her feet are too small for Carters & most brands. I got her 3 pairs of sandals for the summer? Some white dressy sandals at Payless for $7, a pair of Minnie light up ones from Kohl’s for $10, & I splurged on her everyday play sandals because they cover the toes (the rubber goes up over them), they aren’t slippery, & can get wet. Thet are the Nike sunray protect for toddlers & were on sale for $27.99, but I used my Kohl’s cash, so I got them free. We had them last year & they were amazing, held up great, & I got so many onlinepliments on them. More then I like to spend, but worth it to protect her feet & keep her onlinefortable.
