Looking For Children's Barefoot Summer Sandals? We've Got You Covered.

The sun is finally shining and summer is on its way and we are currently unpacking and loading lots of lovely new sandal brands onto our website. At Happy Little Soles we have spent a lot of time curating our new collection of barefoot kids sandals. This year we have been delighted to be able to restock on one of most popular ranges of barefoot kid sandals from Tikki. They are due in next month but in the meantime we are delighted to present a great range of barefoot sandal options from brands such as Zeazoo, Bundgaard and Froddo. From the more open styles suitable for older kids such as the Skye from Bundgaard and the Olymp from Zeazoo to the cage style sandals which are ideal for younger children being more enclosed to ensure little toes are protected whilst still being out in the sunshine!

Below we are happy to introduce you to some of the highlights from our children's range, great sandals from Froddo, Bundgaard, Zeazoo and Old Soles.
