After getting my wrist slapped by our pediatrician recently for letting my daughters ruin their arches by slobbing around in flip-flops, I cast around for a cute alternative to the ever-present Crocs and mini Havaianas (though both will probably always have a place in our household!). So we headed over to Dubai Mall and stumbled across the holy grail of kids’ footwear at Pitter Patter – Saltwater Sandals. Unfortunately, this is one for the girls only, but I was totally sold on the idea of being able to match with my littlies!
Saltwater sandals are made from leather, with a good ankle support strap and are also a little smidge wider than regular sandals, so great for chubby little feet. They’re waterproof and salt-proof, so they claim you can wear them on the beach and in the sea (but personally I would rather not risk that!). Best of all for me is the number of colours they come in – I picked out a red pair and a gold pair for my daughters. After a couple of months of pretty hard wear, they are still looking fab! I did get a couple of complaints from my girls about the ankle strap as they just weren’t used to the sensation of their ankles being more supported, but once I had checked they weren’t rubbing, they started to love them.
They work well with jeans, shorts or little floral dresses – just about everything strangely! As they’re affordable too and you get a good amount of wear out of them, they’re the latest object of our Sassy Mama lust!
Saltwater Sandals range from AED150 – AED185 for the basic colours and AED200 for metallic shades.
