Quick answer
Choose the Flo Tassel Sandal if your child needs a secure, adjustable fit and a playful style; choose the Spike Sandal for a lightweight, modern look with an antique buckle fastening.
Style and fastening differences
The Flo Tassel Sandal features a removable tassel and a hook-and-loop fastening, making it easy for little hands to put on and take off. The Spike Sandal opts for an antique buckle fastening and a modern design, which may require more help from a parent.
Sole construction and weight
The Flo uses a durable natural rubber sole, while the Spike has the signature Young Soles lightweight sole. If your child is sensitive to heavier shoes, the Spike might feel lighter on their feet.
