However, when it comes to sandals sometimes I pay full-price for one reason-- I want sandals with TOE PROTECTION! My son, at two and a half, with open toes would be a disaster waiting to happen, so I always buy him sandals that protect his little piggies! I always buy my son’s shoes new on sale.

They make several styles that are great for little feet. Don't worry about the arch support. All of the research I have done, says the best way to build a healthy arch is by strengthening the supports (think of a bridge). The supports would be the ball (top) and bottom (heel) of the foot. The best way to do this is by going barefoot or wearing shoes closest to barefoot ie. with lots of flexibility to allow max. motion when walking, running. Yes, Stride Rite shoes are nice.
