For the youngest beach bum: The dog days of summer wouldn’t be complete without as many trips to the shore as possible. Even though your young adventurer may be happiest without shoes as he frolics in the sand, make sure that his tootsies are covered with Lacoste’s Children’s Nosara NDK flip-flops. Sleek, durable and tres sportif–how can you go wrong?
