There are several types of boys' hiking sandals that can be found from different types of manufacturers. There is the closed toe hiking sandal that provides a mix of breathability and protection. There are also the classic sport hiking sandals which are adjustable, lightweight and multipurpose, thus providing great versatility in summer walking or holidaying in the parks or by the beach. Then, there are water hiking sandals which are designed for wet conditions. These often feature quick-drying materials and a secure grip, so the boy will be ready to do any kind of water-related activities and hiking, too. Finally, there are backpacking sandals. These are rugged and also designed to support long adventures. They often have enhanced cushioning, a stronger sole and more of an anatomical shape, and all these features provide extra comfort in tough conditions.
Also, it is important to note that different boys' sandals have different designs which factored in some of the key characteristics which include the comfort and the flexibility and the durability and breathability and grip and the ease of their wearing systems. Most of these hiking sandals are made of water-friendly synthetic straps, which dry quickly when wet and offer durability. The soles of such sandals feature deep lugs made of rubber for the needed traction even on the slippery surfaces. Cushioned footbeds conform to the growing feet of boys and support them during their active movement.
The design of hiking sandals also incorporates adjustable Velcro straps. These allow the sandals to be worn even when there is no adjustment to the feet. Most of the designs are phthalate-free to ensure that the child's health is not compromised and that minimal harm is done to the environment. Sandals also carry bright colours and fun elements in design, such as stickers or embellishments, which the kids prefer to wear.
The first and perhaps most important factor is the fit and adjustability. This is important since kids' feet are still growing and getting the right fit helps in preventing blisters and other injuries. Look for a sandal with an adjustable strap that allows for a good fit. The second quality that has to be considered is the material and durability in the outdoor environment. Select breathable and water-resistant materials with robust construction, as hikes can be done in different terrains and weather conditions.
Thirdly, the sole's grip, though mentioned last, should be of great concern. The traction provided by the sole keeps the boy safe from slipping on a rocky or uneven ground. Lastly, for longer use, it is advised to consider ease of wear and removal and considering the child's interest in particular designs relevant to his activities.
These boys' hiking sandals are made for almost any out-of-the-house activity. The open design of these sandals is perfect for a less rough hike in the woods or hills during summers. The tough sandal soles also give support while walking on rocky surfaces. Another situation is hiking with water, like walking through a river or visiting the beach; water sandals are good for such instances to keep the child's feet dry and also not to get hurt. These sandals dry up fast, so children can jump into the water and scramble over the rocks without any worries. There are sports sandals that are good for everyday casual use and light hiking trips. These are ideal for camps, activities at school, or holidays away from home. Last, there are backpacking sandals, which are more suited for longer treks, where support and durability are a priority.
Hiking sandals should be stored in a cool and dry place since the temperature and the external humidity might affect the materials used in making the sandals. Exposure to moisture and heat may cause fast deterioration of the materials. The second factor to consider is cleaning the sandals after every hike, especially after every hike in a dirty or dusty environment. Rubber soles can be wiped with a damp cloth and scrubbed with a soft brush. The strap part of the sandal can be washed with mild soapy water. The last thing not to forget is checking the sandals before each use to make sure there are no signs of wear and tear that could be uncomfortable for the child during the hike.
