Anti-slip sole, breathable open-toe design and adjustable velcro straps for boys and girls aged 0 to 18 months, available in 5 colours
Finding a pair of baby sandals that works for both boys and girls, stays securely on tiny feet, and does not cost the earth is harder than it sounds. These unisex baby sandals tick all three boxes at just £12.99, making them one of the best value options for infant summer footwear in the UK.
Available in five versatile shades, white, olive green, black, light tan and warm brown, there is a colour to suit every little personality and outfit. The open-toe, open-sided build keeps air moving around small feet on warm days, while the structured PU leather upper gives just enough support without being stiff or restrictive.
Built for the Way Babies Actually Move
Between birth and 18 months, babies are not just walking. They are wriggling, kicking, pulling themselves up, cruising along furniture and taking those first shaky steps. This sandal is built with all of that in mind.
The two front adjustable velcro straps hold the foot in place across the top, while the ankle strap wraps around the back to stop the sandal sliding off. Each strap fastens with a hook-and-loop closure and features a decorative metal D-ring detail, so you get a secure, adjustable fit without any fiddly buckle threading. Putting them on takes seconds, even with a baby who has other ideas about getting dressed.
The sole is where these sandals stand out from similar options at this price. The rubber outsole has a raised pebble-textured pattern that gives a genuine grip on smooth flooring, tiles and outdoor paths. For babies just finding their feet, that extra traction makes a real difference to their steadiness and confidence. The sole also has some flexibility to it, which lets the foot move naturally rather than fighting against a rigid base.
Inside, the lining is soft and cushioned against the foot. There are no rough seams to cause rubbing, and the footbed has a gentle padded quality that keeps things comfortable during longer wear. These are ideal for pairing with your favourite baby girl open toe sandals if you are buying for more than one child, or you can browse our baby clothes tips for outfit ideas that work for this age group.

Size Chart
Always measure your baby’s foot before ordering rather than going by age alone. Lay your baby’s foot flat on paper, mark the heel and the tip of the longest toe, and measure the gap. If the result falls between two sizes, size up. Our full baby shoes size guide walks you through the process step by step.
| UK Size | Sole Length | Sole Width | Recommended Age |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 11 cm | 4.7 cm | 0 to 6 months |
| 2 | 12 cm | 4.9 cm | 6 to 12 months |
| 3 | 13 cm | 5.1 cm | 12 to 18 months |
What Is Included
Each order includes one pair of unisex baby sandals in your chosen colour and size. No accessories are included. Select your preferred colour and size using the options on this page before adding to your basket.
When and Where to Wear These Sandals
These anti-slip baby sandals for early walkers are a solid everyday choice throughout spring and summer. Some of the best situations to use them include:
- Garden and outdoor play sessions
- Beach and holiday trips
- Indoor use as babies take their first steps
- Park walks and family outings
- Casual warm-weather wear at home
- Baby shower and birthday gifts
The anti-slip outsole is particularly helpful on smooth tiles and wooden floors indoors, where baby feet can easily slip. On rough or uneven outdoor ground, keep wear to shorter periods and always supervise closely.
How to Care for These Sandals
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not soak in water or machine wash. For more general guidance on looking after baby footwear and clothing, take a look at our guide to washing baby clothes for some useful care tips.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these sandals truly unisex?
Yes. All five colours, white, olive green, black, light tan and brown, are neutral shades that work equally well for baby boys and girls. There are no gender-specific details in the design, making them a practical option whether you are buying for a specific child or as a gift when you do not know the sex of the baby.
How does the anti-slip sole work?
The rubber outsole has a raised pebble pattern across the entire base. This texture grips smooth surfaces like tiles, laminate and wooden floors, which is where most early walkers spend the bulk of their time. It will not eliminate every risk of a tumble, but it gives babies a noticeably more stable footing than a flat sole would.
Are these suitable for babies who have not started walking yet?
Yes. The lightweight, flexible sole and soft inner lining make these comfortable for babies at any stage from newborn through to 18 months. For pre-walkers, they are great for outings, pram trips and occasions where you want little feet protected and looking smart.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the length of your baby’s foot from the heel to the longest toe and compare it to the sole length in the size chart above. UK size 1 covers 0 to 6 months (11 cm), size 2 covers 6 to 12 months (12 cm), and size 3 covers 12 to 18 months (13 cm). Always go up a size if you are between measurements.
Do the velcro straps stay secure throughout the day?
Yes. Each strap uses a strong hook-and-loop fastening that holds well even during active movement. The combination of two front straps and one ankle strap means the sandal is held securely across the foot and around the back, so it is much less likely to slip off compared to single-strap styles.
Are these a good gift for a baby shower?
They make a thoughtful, practical gift at a price that works well on any budget. Because the colours are neutral and the sandals are unisex, you do not need to know the sex or exact age of the baby to choose well. A set including two sizes makes an especially useful gift to cover the full 0 to 18 month range.
Can these be worn in water or on a beach?
These sandals are fine for the beach and light outdoor use, but they are not waterproof. The PU leather upper can handle splashes and sandy conditions for short periods, but they should be wiped dry and allowed to air out afterwards. They are not designed for swimming or extended time in water.
