My whole family lives in Tevas.  My 5yo boy and 7yo girl both have them and pretty much wear them from the time it hits 50 until snowfall.  I think they're on their 7th and 8th pair.  But not because they break down.  Oh no, these things stay as beautiful as the day we bought them.  We've passed down our teeny toddler sizes to multiple friends and after a quick wash, they come back to us like brand new.  I just wish I could stop their FEET FROM GROWING!!!

I find these to run a bit large, maybe a 1/2 size or so, but because of all the adjustability, I just order their current shoe size and it gives them a longer wear out of them.  A lot of the schools have asked that flip flops not be worn due to safety/sanitary issues.  I will say that we just swapped them out for Tevas and my kids never complained.  They're safe to run in, they give good traction and they're completely machine washable.  Even Captain Stinkfoot, my 5yo, has been unable to stink these bad boys up!!!

I would highly recommend for any child that loves sandals, but would like something that's safe, durable and playground worthy.  AND they can get them on themselves!!!  BONUS!!!!  Fantastic, fantastic shoes.  The ONLY gripe I would have or rather, suggestion, is that the back strap is not adjustable and this would help in making the shoe just a touch more comfortable for some kids.

Oh and one last thing, these are great as a beach/water shoe.  Because they ARE washable and have good traction, I find them better/more comfortable as salt water shoes than the weird meshy shoes that everyone wears.
