Kids Velcro Sandals with Zebra Print • Black, Pink and Yellow • Double Strap, Closed Heel Cup • Lightweight EVA Construction • Unisex • Wide Size Range
Finding a summer sandal that stays on an active toddler or young child’s foot while being genuinely comfortable for a full day of running around is harder than it sounds. These EVA velcro sandals are built specifically for that job. Two wide double-strap velcro closures across the foot keep the sandal secure through play, running and paddling, while the fully moulded EVA construction means the shoe weighs almost nothing and can be cleaned with a quick wipe or rinse.
The sandals are available in three bold colourways, all featuring a white zebra-stripe print on the straps against a contrasting base colour. The moulded EVA sole unit includes both the footbed and the outsole in a single piece, with a wavy ripple pattern on the bottom that provides grip on wet and dry surfaces. A closed heel cup keeps the foot held in rather than slipping back, making these more secure than a traditional open-back sandal.
The unisex design and very wide size range, from newborn through to junior sizes, makes these a practical buy for families with children of different ages and a useful sandal to come back to season after season as feet grow.
Design in Detail
The Double Velcro Strap System
Two wide, padded velcro straps sit across the top of the foot. The front strap covers the toe area and the rear strap sits higher across the midfoot, between them holding the foot flat against the footbed and preventing the sandal from shifting during movement. Each strap fastens independently with a velcro tab, so the fit can be adjusted across both straps to suit the width and instep height of the individual foot. This double-strap construction is what makes these sandals suitable for active children who would quickly lose a single-strap design during play.
The Zebra Print Straps
The velcro straps feature an all-over white zebra-stripe print on each colourway base. In the black version, the white stripe creates a high-contrast, graphic look. In the pink version, the white print sits more softly against the coral-pink base for a playful effect. In the yellow version, the bold yellow and white combination is the most eye-catching of the three. The print is applied to both straps and the heel cup, creating a consistent pattern across the entire upper of the sandal rather than just the visible strap.
The Moulded EVA Construction
The entire sole unit, including the footbed and outsole, is moulded from a single piece of EVA foam. EVA, or ethylene-vinyl acetate, is the material used in the soles of many high-performance sports shoes because it is exceptionally lightweight, shock-absorbing and resistant to water damage. In children’s sandals it is a practical choice because it does not absorb water, dries quickly after paddling or rain, can be wiped or rinsed clean easily and will not deteriorate with repeated wetting and drying. The footbed has a padded, slightly contoured surface that provides basic support and cushioning for young feet.
The Closed Heel Cup
Rather than an open back that leaves the heel exposed, these sandals feature a low, moulded heel cup that wraps around the back of the foot. This keeps the heel seated centrally in the sandal during movement and prevents the foot sliding back off the footbed. For toddlers and young children who are still developing their walking gait, this is a meaningful feature that contributes to stability and reduces the risk of the sandal coming off mid-activity.
The Grip Sole
The underside of the EVA sole unit has a wavy, ripple-pattern texture moulded into the surface. This creates friction against flat surfaces without the rigidity of a traditional rubber outsole. The pattern runs in parallel waves across the full length of the sole, providing multidirectional grip that works on smooth indoor floors, paving, wet pool surrounds and light outdoor terrain.
Colour Guide
All three colourways use the same construction, sizing and materials. The difference is entirely in the base colour of the straps, heel cup and moulded sole unit, which matches across all components for a coordinated look throughout the shoe.
Black Zebra Print Sandals
The most versatile colourway and the easiest to keep looking clean. The bold black and white zebra print makes a confident statement and works well alongside most summer outfits in navy, white, red and neutral tones. The black sole also hides general wear and surface marks more effectively than lighter colours. A strong choice for everyday wear and children who are particularly hard on footwear.
Pink Zebra Print Sandals
The pink version uses a coral-pink base with white zebra print straps and a matching pink EVA sole. The padded interior footbed is finished in a deeper red-pink lining that adds contrast when worn. This colourway pairs naturally with pink, white, yellow and summer floral outfits. The softer tonal combination of pink and white gives this version a more relaxed, playful feel than the black.
Yellow Zebra Print Sandals
The most vibrant and eye-catching of the three. A bright primary yellow base with white zebra print straps and a matching yellow sole. The yellow version photographs very well in natural light and is a popular choice for holiday and beach photos. It pairs well with white, denim blue, orange and green outfits. A bold, sunny choice for children and parents who prefer colour over neutrals.

Styling These Sandals
These are casual, active sandals designed for warm-weather everyday use. They work best with relaxed, comfortable outfits rather than occasion wear.
With summer dresses and shorts: The bold colour and print of the sandals does the work here. A plain white or navy dress, a simple cotton shorts-and-top set or a lightweight playsuit lets the sandal be the standout piece in the outfit. The yellow version in particular pairs beautifully with white summer dresses for a fresh, bright holiday look. Browse our summer dresses for coordinating outfit ideas.
For beach and pool days: EVA sandals are the standard choice for pool surrounds and beach walks because the material does not absorb water, dries in minutes and can be rinsed free of sand and salt water without any damage. The closed heel cup keeps the sandal secure on slippery wet surfaces where an open-back sandal would slide off.
For holidays and travel: The extreme lightness of these sandals makes them a practical holiday shoe that adds almost no weight to luggage. They pack flat, are unaffected by heat or moisture, and can handle the full range of activities a family holiday involves, from poolside to restaurants to theme parks. The velcro fastening also makes airport security shoe removal quick and painless.
For nursery and outdoor play: The easy velcro fastening means children at nursery and in reception can manage these independently during outdoor play, PE and toilet trips. The wipe-clean EVA material handles mud, paint and general nursery mess with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. EVA is fully water-resistant and does not absorb moisture, which makes these sandals genuinely practical for pool surrounds, paddling, beach walks and wet grass. They rinse clean with water, dry quickly at room temperature and are completely unaffected by salt water, chlorine or repeated wetting and drying. After a beach session, rinse off any sand and allow to air dry.
Yes. The double strap design holds the foot from two points across the upper, which keeps the sandal securely in place during running and active play. The closed heel cup provides a third point of contact at the back of the foot. Once the velcro tabs are fastened, the sandal is held firmly without pinching or restricting movement. Keep the velcro surface free of sand and grit, as particles can reduce the grip of the velcro over time.
Measure your child’s foot from heel to the tip of the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the heel-to-toe column in the size chart above. Choose the size whose outsole measurement is approximately 0.5 to 1cm longer than your child’s foot length. If between sizes, go up. Our girls shoes size guide and baby shoes size guide have step-by-step foot measuring guidance.
Yes. The design is unisex. The black and yellow versions in particular suit boys and girls equally well. The construction, sizing and fit are the same regardless of gender.
EVA sandals with a flat, flexible sole are generally considered suitable for toddlers because the sole moves with the foot rather than against it. The cushioned footbed provides a comfortable base, and the grip pattern on the sole helps prevent slipping. The closed heel cup and double strap keep the sandal on the foot securely. As with all footwear for young walkers, we recommend checking the fit regularly as toddlers’ feet grow quickly, and ensuring the sandal is not too tight or too loose.
Rinse the sandals under running water to remove sand from the sole, straps and footbed. A soft brush helps dislodge sand from the velcro surface and the grip pattern on the sole. Allow to air dry fully before storing. If the velcro has become clogged with sand or grit, use a fine comb or stiff brush to clear the velcro pile before the next use, as this restores the holding strength of the fastening.
