Shoe News: The Best Spring and Summer Footwear for Kids
With an impressive selection of knock-out shoe collections and exciting collaborations hitting stores, Junior rounds up the best summer sandals, trainers and shoes that little toes will love this season...
The Best Spring/Summer Kids Shoes: Bobux
We're huge fans of Bobux at Junior and have awarded them several Junior Design Awards, including a coveted Gold for Best Baby Shoes 2022. Their latest Spring/Summer collection is a triumph and we couldn't love the mix of unisex cage sandals, round-toe trainers and robust hiking inspired sandals more. All Bobux shoes are podiatrist approved and we can confirm from regular testing that they're super comfortable and very robust. This collection is called Dare to Roam, placing an emphasis on adventure and connecting with the world and the great outdoors.

The Best Spring Summer Kids Shoes: Veja X Bonpoint
French eco-friendly trainer brand Veja and premium children's brand Bonpoint are a match made in heaven and together they create the perfect French exchange. Veja, known for its clean lines and cool aesthetic, lends Bonpoint its fresh sporty vibe, while Bonpoint gives Veja a touch of its subtle classic charm. Magnifique!
We absolutely love the adorable pre-walker soft sole trainers for baby with a cool dandelion yellow V and Bonpoint signature logo and we predict the canvas upper plimsoll style trainers for older kids made from 100% organic cotton, responsibly sourced in Brazil and Peru will be worn with everything from shorts to cotton dresses for laid-back summer style.

The Best Spring Summer Kids Shoes: Donsje
If you're looking for pre-walkers and toddler shoes with gasp-out-loud cute appeal, Donsje is your brand. Famous for their adorable furry animal winter booties, Donsje have created a Spring/Summer collection that is possibly even cuter. Each shoe is lovingly handmade to Fairtrade standards, using the softest nubuck leather, with plenty of room for toes to wiggle. Watermelon designs, whale tail shoes, puppy motif soft soles, rope inspired open-toe sandals and close-toe sandals, all in sun-washed shades will have little ones feeling proud as punch and parents reaching for their cameras...

If your kids love fabulous footwear that turns heads, Maison Mangostan is calling your name.

Entitled 'Typical Spanish', the collection includes cork footbeds, rainbow stripe soles, canvas plimsolls and crochet details, which will give any outfit a hit of tropical splendour.
