Holiday Packing Made Simple: Shoes That Do It All

Family holidays should be about fun, not fuss. But if you’re a parent, you’ll know the struggle of over-packing for little ones - especially when it comes to shoes.

The good news? With the right pair (or two), your child’s sandals can take them from the playground to the poolside to a family dinner out. At Surefit, we’ve been making children’s shoes since 1984, and we know a thing or two about creating styles that are versatile, durable, and comfortable for growing feet.

Here’s our guide to holiday packing made simple, with sandals for every stage:

👶 Baby Sandals: Comfort + Protection

For babies who are crawling, cruising, or taking their very first steps, shoes need to offer gentle protection without restricting movement.

• Girls: The Jamie Baby Sandals in Silver are soft, flexible, and easy to slip on, making them perfect for warmer days out.

• Boys: The Jamie Baby Sandals in Tan provide breathable comfort with a classic neutral colourway.

This style is lightweight and soft-soled, so they protect tiny feet from hot surfaces while supporting natural development.

🚶 Toddler Sandals: Play-Ready and Easy On/Off

Toddlers are always on the move, so their holiday shoes need to be sturdy, easy to wear, and able to handle a big day of adventures.

• Girls: The Bambi Sandals in White Leather are a spring/summer favourite — stylish enough for family photos yet tough enough for the playground.

• Boys: The Marley Sandals in Navy Leather are flexible, breathable, and feature secure straps to keep up with active little explorers.

With cushioned insoles and durable outsoles, these toddler sandals are built to last (and pass the “all-day comfort” test).

🧒 Older Kids Shoes: Style + Durability

As kids get older, they want shoes that feel more grown-up - while parents still need them to be durable and supportive.

• Girls: The Eden Sandals in Silver Leather are a perfect holiday all-rounder, working just as well with a sundress at dinner as they do with shorts at the park.

• Boys: The Kai Sneakers in Navy Leather are a timeless choice that pairs with everything, from casual beach looks to family celebrations.

These styles offer Surefit’s signature combination of premium leather, breathable linings, and sturdy soles, so parents can trust they’ll last the whole season.

Final Tip: Pack Smart

Instead of filling the suitcase with shoes for every occasion, choose one or two versatile pairs that can do it all. Look for breathable leather, adjustable straps, and cushioned soles to keep kids comfortable on long days out.

At Surefit, we design shoes that fit seamlessly into family life - durable, stylish, and always ready for adventure.
