Kids' Seacamp II CNX Closed Toe Sandal - Quick-Dry Water Play

Our review of the Kids' Seacamp II CNX Closed Toe Sandal finds it best suited for active children who split time between playgrounds, docks and pools; the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of water-ready materials and reliable support that keeps little feet comfortable and protected during fast-moving play. The sandals are built from washable polyester webbing with a quick-dry lining and a PFC-Free durable water repellent, which makes them easy to rinse off after a messy day and fast to dry so kids can wear them again the next day.

Key Features

• Water-resistant upper: Washable polyester webbing with a quick-dry lining helps the sandal stay usable for both wet and dry activities.
• Durable water repellent: PFC-Free treatment helps shed water and prolong the material's life when exposed to splashes and puddles.
• Traction and protection: Multi-directional lugs on a non-marking rubber outsole provide grip on slippery terrain while leaving no scuff marks indoors.
• Secure fit system: Lace-lock bungee capture plus a wide, adjustable hook-and-loop strap lets kids get the sandals on and off quickly while keeping them snug.
• Supportive footbed: Metatomical EVA footbed offers arch support and cradles natural foot contours for all-day comfort.
• Easy care: Machine washable construction means a simple gentle cycle and air dry keeps the sandals fresh and ready.

Who It's For

The Seacamp II CNX is ideal for parents buying footwear for young children who need a versatile sandal for backyard, beach, and poolside use; the quick-dry nylon and washable webbing make it low-maintenance for families who want an all-around summer shoe. It suits kids who need protection at the toe and reliable traction on wet surfaces without the bulk of a closed shoe.

Families looking for heavy-duty hiking boots or insulated footwear should look elsewhere, since this sandal is designed for warm-weather water play rather than extended cold-weather use or technical trail carrying. Also, those who prefer a fully moldable custom insole may want a different option, as the Seacamp relies on a fixed EVA footbed.
