Variety Show

From beach-friendly bright colors and licensed characters to patterned looks and bow-adorned styles, Spring ’12 sandals will have kids flipping out next summer. —Meagan Walker

The Waldo flip-flop from Polo Ralph Lauren, an updated version of the brand’s Spring ’11’s Zeke style, makes a statement poolside with bold color blocking in a variety of splashy, summer shades.

For parents seeking fuller coverage, Keen and Chaco offer closed-toe options with soft and stretchy sockliners that keep the elements out.

Birki’s features the Mickey Mouse gang and Jim Henson’s Muppets adorned across the left and right pair to make one playful image.

Uber-girly Sugar Shoes goes with ankle strap thong sandals embellished with sparkly bows. For the girl looking for a little less glitz and glam, the casual L’Flipper style is printed with rainbow peace signs.
