Are there any toddler sandals that don't make their feet stink?

Anonymous
Mine wears either all leather Stride Rites or Saltwater Sandals. No stink last summer or this summer.

Yep, my experience is that all sandals make my 3-year-old's feet stinky. Most shoes do, too, though cotton socks help. We just wash his feet every single night, even if he's not having a full bath.

WAY less stink- they use neoprene and have fewer straps. Never had stink with the seacamps.

Buy all leather shoes.

Old school, but I often sprinkle a bit of baby powder in my 3yo's shoes before putting them on.

A lot of it is the age. Both my girls had the worse smelling feet at that age.

Bought the closed toe stride rite leather sandals. After a few days of massive feet stink- we just started using socks. Kind of defeats the purpose of sandals. However, he is starting to equate shoes with socks- so he always wants socks anyway.

We had Keens one summer and the stink was terrible.

We just bought some Timberland sandals from Amazon - so far so good (but it's only been a week or so). They say they have some antimicrobial something or other to combat the stink.

Here's how you make the Keens stop smelling. Pour/Spray Isopropyl Alcohol (99%) on them about once a week and let them air dry.

I will try this. Where do you find this? Drug store? Man, my DS's Keens stink (he's 18 months). He took them off in the car yesterday and I almost had to pull over (the smell was that bad).

our kids' Tevas absolutely stink. DH put them in the sink yesterday with baking soda to try to improve the situation.

+1. My kids always wore these as toddlers and I never noticed a smell.
