City Beach carries slide styles from Nike, adidas, Puma, Quiksilver, Crocs and Lucid. Selected designs have branded straps, different sole shapes and colour combinations.

Unlike thongs, slides generally do not feature a strap between the toes. They provide a different footwear silhouette for casual and summer outfits.

What's the Difference Between Sneakers, Skate Shoes, Crocs and Slides?

Different shoe styles have distinct construction features.

Sneakers generally have a covered upper and sole, with fastening options including laces, straps or slip-on construction.

Skate shoes are a sneaker style associated with skateboarding-inspired designs, although not every skate-style shoe has the same technical features.

Clogs typically have a more enclosed front than sandals, while slides generally feature an open back and one or more straps across the foot.

Thongs have a toe-post strap, and sandals are a broader category covering multiple open-footwear designs.

How to Choose the Right Boys' Shoe Size

Start by measuring the child's foot from the heel to the end of the longest toe. Compare this measurement with the relevant brand's footwear size guide.

City Beach stocks boys' footwear using different sizing formats, including US numbers, European sizes and combined sizes for selected Crocs and thongs.

When choosing shoes, check how the foot sits within the shoe, the toe room, width and fastening. Shoes with the same labelled size can fit differently between brands and styles.

For growing feet, recheck measurements regularly. Choosing shoes solely by age or purchasing excessively oversized footwear may result in an unsuitable fit.

How to Choose Boys' Shoes for Different Activities

The most suitable footwear depends on the activity, fit and individual product construction.

For everyday casual outfits, compare sneakers and slip-on shoes. Lace-up sneakers and hook-and-loop designs offer different fastening options.

For school, check the school's specific footwear requirements before purchasing. Some schools require particular colours, enclosed toes or other features that casual sneakers may not meet.

For beach days and holidays, browse thongs, slides, sandals and Crocs. Check each product's materials and suitability for wet conditions rather than assuming all open footwear has the same grip or water resistance.

How to Style Boys' Shoes with Different Outfits

Boys' sneakers can be paired with denim shorts, cargo shorts, jeans, track pants and graphic T-shirts. Skate-inspired sneakers work with relaxed and oversized outfits, while classic low-top styles offer a different everyday silhouette.

Explore boys' clothing for T-shirts, shorts, pants and casual layers to complete the outfit.

For warmer weather, pair thongs or slides with boys' swimwear, including board shorts and other beachwear.

For everyday footwear essentials, explore boys' socks and shoe accessories, including different sock styles and selected footwear-care products.
