Lands End sandals for kids?

[megan4777]

Does anyone have any experience with these? My dd is 20 months and I'm looking for comfy sandals that we can use this summer and in Oct when we go to Disney.
Any other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

We purchaced these last year.... and sandals from LLbean the previous year. Overall, the LLbean ones were far superior. They lasted longer, and the kids prefered them.
We will be getting the LLBean sandals again this year.

We had Lands' End sandals last summer, and I was a bit disappointed. Everything I've ever had from LE has been top quality, and these appeared to be really good at first, but by the end of the summer both girls' shoes were beginning to separate in the toe area. They gave the shoes heavy use all summer, and the separation wasn't so bad that they had to be replaced (because summer was ending); however, I expected more from these sandals.

If you get the suedey one(think it's called nogohide?) they stain very easy and can't be cleaned

We live in Land's End sandals. Never had a problem with them, never got one single blister. The big kids' sizes tend to run big though. They dry quickly, which is a big plus at WDW.

Schmeck, have you had any problems with cleaning them if they were the suede ones. Just thought I would ask. Thanks.

I buy the kids a pair of Lands End sandals every year and they've always held up great for us, been comfortable. They do run a little big, as Schmeck said.

My DD wears Teva sandals. They run about $25, but they are indestructible.

We had two different LE sandals last year. The first were extremely disappointing as the padded sole part split in two after just a month. They were very light weight and comfy. The second ones were much thicker soled and held up great, but I thought they were heavy (most LE shoes are IMO). We won't be getting them this year (and I love LE)

I would go with Teva's or Target had some good ones that my son had that held up great.

Thanks for all the help!! I will check out all the sandals suggested since I need something that she won't be able to destroy the first day she has them!!

I get Lands End sandals every year. Just ordered 2 pairs 10 minutes ago. I think they hold up very well and are priced right. They do run big and are so easy for kids to put on and off themselves.

Thanks everyone I will checkout the landsend as well as the llbean ones.

We never got the suede ones. The rubber/neoprene ones are very easy to clean - I bleach the soles of the shoes a few times each summer to kill any odor. The bleach doesn't even change the color of the sandal!

The lands End sandals last all summer, no problem in this house. We wear them for mountain hiking, Disney trips, and as casual shoes. I have a pair that are over 4 years old, and they look and feel great!
