It’s sandal season!

Finding the right sandals

Sandals should be all about one thing: comfort. On warm summer days, kids want to feel light and breezy. At Affenzahn, we offer a range of sandal styles, all built on our proven Affenzahn barefoot shoe concept: a flexible sole, plenty of toe freedom, and lots of room to run wild. Here's an overview to help you find the perfect match for your summer adventures.

• Vegan Airy – the super light summer classic

Our bestseller for hot days: the Vegan Airy skips the toe cap entirely, making it our lightest model for kids who love feeling as free as possible when the sun's out. Two hook-and-loop straps still keep it securely in place. No wonder it's become a summer favorite year after year – which is why it's back this season in even more sunny colors. Available in sizes 21–35.

• Leather Airy – the sturdy leather counterpart

For those who prefer leather, the Leather Airy is the answer: soft, comfortable leather meets the tried-and-true Airy design with two hook-and-loop straps. In slightly more muted tones, it's the ideal companion for anyone looking for a long-lasting summer sandal. Available in sizes 21–32.

• Vegan Roughy – new and ready for any adventure

The newest member of the family: with rugged, breathable mesh and elastic laces, the Vegan Roughy is the hero of our sandal lineup when things get a little wild. Its protective toe cap keeps little toes safe while climbing, digging, or racing around. Available in sizes 21–32.

• Vegan Breezy – flexible and stylish

The Vegan Breezy wins hearts with its flexible fit and elastic straps that mold perfectly to the foot – ideal for every outdoor adventure. It also features a protective toe cap, making it a great choice for kids always on the move, whether biking or scootering. Available in sizes 21–32.

Cleaning sandals

Children’s shoes have to cope with a lot: Extended playground visits, vacation trips and sand and beach days often leave their mark. So that you can enjoy your sandals for a long time, now and then you need to tackle the coarse dirt on them. It’s best to first knock the sandals together and then clean the soles with a brush. Then dry the outer material (don't forget the hook and loop fasteners!) with a soft brush or toothbrush. Then carefully remove the dirt with a damp cloth and warm water. For more stubborn dirt, we recommend a soft sponge and a mild or curd soap. You can also use a mild detergent for this. In this case, we recommend a product with natural ingredients. By the way, the washing machine is a no-go for our sandals. This can have a negative effect on their durability.

Finding the right size

Finding the right shoe size is really easy with Affenzahn. All you need is a sheet of paper, a pen and a ruler. Place your child on the paper and mark both heels vertically. Then mark the point of the longest toe on both feet. Now measure the distance with the ruler. Simply enter the result in our size finder, and bingo it spits out the recommended correct size.
