Girls' Bow Dress Sandals, Flat Summer Party Shoes

Occasion shoes for children have to survive the occasion. These flat bow sandals are dressy enough for a wedding or a party but built on a flat sole, so a child can run around the reception in them rather than being carried out of them.

Why flat matters

• Flat sole that lets a child walk and run naturally
• Bow detailing that dresses the shoe up without adding height
• Secure fastening that stays done up through an afternoon of activity
• Suits parties, weddings and family occasions from spring through summer
• Plain enough underneath the bow to wear again on ordinary days

Getting the fit right

Measure your child feet late in the day, when they are at their largest, and leave roughly a thumb width of growing room at the toe. Children feet change fast, so re-check the fit every couple of months rather than assuming last season size still applies.

Questions parents ask

Are these comfortable for a whole day? The flat sole helps considerably. As with any occasion shoe, a first outing is more comfortable if the shoes have been worn briefly at home beforehand.

Will they suit an older girl as well as a toddler? The style spans a wide age range. Check the size guide for the specific fit you need.

Can they be worn casually? Yes. Without the occasion outfit around them they read as ordinary summer sandals.
