As children, our memories of visiting the beach often include digging in the sand, collecting seashells, and running into the waves with reckless abandon.

Byoot One-Piece Swimsuit
It’s not always easy to find a cute on-trend, age-appropriate swimsuit that fits the demands of an active mom. Many of us don’t want to wear a bikini or struggle with traditional one-piece styles when it comes to using the bathroom in between water activities.

Simply unbutton the sides and get straight down to business! Finally, a swimsuit that completely eliminates the need to take off the entire suit!

Summer Shoes for Women & Kids
Archie’s Footwear
Flip flops are a way of life during the summer, but most flat flip flops offer no support (as such, they’re horrible for your feet). Designed by a Physiotherapist from Melbourne, Australia, Archies Arch Support Flip Flops look just like “normal” flip flops, yet provide the same amount of support of a typical orthotic shoe, providing comfort beyond what is thought possible in a regular flip flop.
While these flip flops are obviously great for everyone, podiatrists have found that Archie’s flip flops are very useful for people suffering from foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis. The arch support helps provide support and shock absorption creating a more optimal environment for healing to occur when compared to walking bare-foot on hard surfaces or in typical flat flip-flops. As such, many people both with and without foot conditions, simply wear the flip-flops in and around the house (especially those with hard floor-board and tiles) when they are not wearing their shoes.
We’re total converts over here and think that once you try Archies Arch Support Flip Flops, you too will never want to take them off!

If your summer plans involve heading out to hit the trails a pair of Kuru Quest hiking boots are a must. From the Appalachian Mountains to the deserts of Arizona, this summer there are things to see, adventures to be had, and trails to explore. Head outdoors and commune with nature, either alone or with the kids, for a truly unforgettable experience.
Hiking is a great way to get in your steps this summer but a supportive, comfortable pair of hiking boots will make or break your experience. No one wants to deal with uncomfortable shoes, sore heels, or blisters out on the trail. We love the Kuru Quest hiking boots with their trendy everyday style, perfect for the hike, but also cute enough to wear while exploring the local town of your summer vacation destination. Featuring the the superior KURUSOLE which hugs your heels preventing heel pain and allowing you to go longer, a sturdy construction and excellent traction for those uphill hikes, and a high top style providing beneficial ankle support, these boots will be your go-to footwear this season.

Naturalizer
Warm weather means it’s time to bring out the sandals. The older you get, the more you value a shoe that provides good support but finding a supportive sandal is difficult. This summer, toss out your rubber flip flops and upgrade to a summer shoe that is both fashionable and comfortable.
For trips to the park or enjoying a day out with the kids we love the Tally. Designed with soft leather and an adjustable buckle closure, your shoes will stay secure for everything from chasing down a toddler to riding a rollercoaster at the amusement park. The soles are constructed with Naturalizer’s N5 Comfort technology, ensuring that even after a full day your feet won’t be aching and sore. Our favorite element of the N5 design is the extra cushioning. Each N5 shoe is constructed with latex foam at the insole, ball of the foot and throughout the lining to absorb shocks and better support the body.
Available in 5 colors, you can pick up a pair to match every outfit in your closet. Shown here in Lodge Brown leather we think the soft chestnut color is ideal for matching your favorite pair of shorts.
Dressing up during the summer doesn’t mean you need to pull out a pair of uncomfortable high heels. The slip on Tea Sandal is the perfect classy yet fun look to complete your favorite sundress. Easy on and off makes the Tea Sandal like wearing your favorite pair of slippers. The Tea Sandal includes the same N5 Comfort technology, ensuring that you are both stylish and comfortable at the same time.
A wide band and oversized bow adds the perfect feminine touch to any look. We picked the black floral crepe to match all our favorite summer outfits and this shoe is also available in five other solid colors.

Hari Mari Kids
Whether she’s heading to the beach, the pool or just playing at home, Hari Mari’s Scout flip flop for youth is a must-have for summer. Our kids have rejected all other pairs of flip flops we’ve tried in the past because they “don’t feel good;” but Hari Mari’s buttery smooth nubuck leather foot beds that are comfortable straight out of the gate and memory foam-lined straps make wearing sandals easy. It also doesn’t hurt that these look just like the ones Mom has, so they are instantly cool (at least for a few more years).
