In summer, time flows differently, especially for children. Ice cream, sun-tanned shoulders and evenings when nobody wants to go home. Be Lenka kids’ summer barefoot shoes belong to the free days. Airy, feather-light and ready for the holidays at full throttle.
When sandals aren’t enough, closed summer shoes step in
Summer camps, bike trips and sports clubs often require firm closed footwear: a protected toe and a surer hold belong to shoes meant for more active days. This is exactly where breathable summer sneakers and low-cut shoes made of airy materials step in. The little foot is covered but doesn’t steam, and the child meets the camp rules without suffering all day in heavy shoes. Closed footwear and summer ease aren’t mutually exclusive.
A bare foot is happiest in summer
Summer is the ideal time to let children’s feet live to the full. Grass, sand and the home yard belong to bare feet; it’s the best muscle training there is. Barefoot footwear then takes over duty where a bare foot isn’t enough: on scorching asphalt, a gravel road or the playground. The child thus enjoys the freedom of natural movement all summer, either completely barefoot or in barefoot shoes that come close to walking barefoot.
For camp, trips and the swimming pool
The holiday programme is varied, so the footwear shouldn’t lag behind. For town and clubs, airy sneakers suffice; for family wanders through nature, the more durable kids’ outdoor barefoot shoes with a proper grip of the sole on the surface are the fit. By the water, meanwhile, don’t forget that wet children’s feet need footwear that dries fast. A children’s shoe collection needn’t be big, just well thought out.
They’ll survive the whole holidays too
The holidays are a marathon without rest for children’s footwear. Grass, dust, water, the concrete of the swimming pool. Be Lenka summer children’s models reckon with that from the start: durable airy materials, precise workmanship and soles from our own compounds tested over thousands of steps. The September inspection thus usually ends with the verdict that the shoes survived and the little foot outgrew them.
What footwear do summer camps require?
+ -Most camps ask for firm closed footwear and something light for the restful moments. The ideal combination is breathable barefoot sneakers for active movement and sandals or slip-ons for the evening. Label everything with a name and pack spare socks; there’s nothing worse than wet shoes at camp.
Does a child’s foot grow faster in summer?
+ -A child’s foot grows in leaps throughout the year, but in summer the increase tends to be the most visible; children spend a lot of time barefoot and you simply see the change. The holidays are therefore the ideal time to measure the feet. If you’re planning to buy new shoes for school in August, measure just before the start of the school year, not at the beginning of summer.
What to put on a child by the water when flip-flops aren’t suitable?
+ -Flip-flops really don’t do a child’s foot any good; the toes have to clench convulsively to keep the footwear on. By the water, reach for sandals with a firm hold of the heel and quick-drying straps. The little foot stays protected and the step surer even on a wet surface.
