Detailed Review
When it comes to outdoor shoes for toddlers, durability and comfort are key. The Kamik Boys' SEATURTLE2 Sandal excels in both areas, making them ideal for young adventurers. With a lightweight construction, kids can wear them without feeling weighed down. The waterproof feature is a game changer, as this allows for involvement in pool games or beach outings without worry.
The moisture-wicking lining does an exceptional job at keeping kids' feet dry and comfortable, which is crucial for active play. The adjustable straps ensure a snug fit, adapting well to different foot shapes and sizes. Parents will appreciate the ease of getting their kids ready for fun in the sun with these sandals.
In terms of performance, the two-tone non-marking rubber outsole offers great traction, providing stability on slippery surfaces. This means less slips and falls, which is always a plus when dealing with energetic toddlers. However, it's worth noting that some parents have reported that the sandals may run slightly small, so checking the sizing guide and potentially ordering a size up could be beneficial.

My son is hard on shoes... long gone are the days when I could buy expensive sandals and expect to get $20 for them at the end of the season. There may be nothing like Keens for traction, but he's a big kid now, and I have to stop worrying at some point that he's going to fall down, lol! We both like the styling and openness of the Kamiks. The tread looks great, and they seem as well made as the Kamik boots he has had before.On the day they arrived, he stopped reaching for the sneakers and is wearing them everywhere except to school already. He says they're comfortable and "they look so cool!" I like the closed toe. The adjustable heel strap let me buy a half size up, so hopefully we'll get more mileage out of them, for $25 less than sandals cost us last year. If they don't survive I'll let you know, but I think it's going to be Seaturtle2 for the win.
My 2year old has worn these all summer! Perfect park and running around shoe. They did break though....we hand sowed the part back together because summer is almost over and didn’t want to buy another pair
Not thrilled with lifespan, but might buy again:Purchased June 2022, worn for a season as a walking/play shoe. Minimal contact with water. Its the start of warm weather here (May 4th) and after a few days of wear, the shoe gave up the ghost. This is the first pair of shoes to have such a short lifespan for my kiddo. With the brand and description of the shoe, I expected them to be much more durable. Instead, they didn't hold up to play, walking and school yard for more than a few short months.On the bright side, they were Very Comfy, cute and didn't catch on anything as she played.
We have been buying these sandals for over 4 years now. These are built to last. Fit as they should and can handle a beating. I wish they had this design for adults.
Roomy sandels, and super cute for wide feet, and sturdy for water wear, and kids who are rough on their toes during spring and summer, they have bummer guards to help from slipping, and sliding as well!!
My son walked with these sandals 14 days in the jungles and trails in Mexico. Very comfortable and still look like new.
Summer shoes that can play in the water. WE LOVE THIS SHOE. We have purchased them for the last two years. Last all summer and look good enough to give to a cousin.
I ordered these sandals last week and received them on Friday 6/12. Very happy with the shipping. My 3 year old son was at daycare today 6/15 and the back strap broke. These sandals were only worn twice altogether. I give it 2 stars only because of the quick shipping as well as the fit of the sandals.
