Kids' Big Recliner vs New School II Sandals: Sizing FAQ
Answers to the sizing questions parents ask most about Volcom's Kids' Big Recliner and Kids' Big Girls' New School II Hawaii sandals, from size ranges to fit checks.
Sizing and fit questions
What sizes do the Kids' Big Recliner Sandals come in?
The Kids' Big Recliner Sandals are available in sizes 1 through 4, in the Black/White colorway, according to the catalog. The product record lists only these sizes, so if your child is outside that range, this style may not be the right pick.
What sizes do the New School II Hawaii Sandals come in?
The Kids' Big Girls' New School II Hawaii Sandals are designed for girls with sizes starting from size 1. The catalog shows one available variant: Black / 1. The full size range isn't listed in the record, so check the product page for current availability before ordering.
Do the Recliner Sandals fit the same as the New School II Hawaii Sandals?
The records don't include a fit comparison or sizing chart for either sandal, so we can't say they fit the same. Use each product's own size options as your guide and measure your child's foot before choosing.
Are the Recliner Sandals adjustable?
The catalog describes the Recliner Sandal as having a water-friendly fabric and a soft padded footbed, but it doesn't mention adjustable straps. The New School II Hawaii Sandals are described as having durable synthetic straps, also without an adjustability claim. If a secure, custom fit is your priority, look for a style that explicitly lists adjustable straps.
Kids' Big Recliner Sandals: what the catalog confirms
Kids' Big Recliner Sandals: Available in sizes 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Black/White. This is the full size range shown in the record, so you can quickly see whether your child's size is offered.
Kids' Big Recliner Sandals
Kids' Big Recliner Sandals: Water-friendly fabric and a soft padded footbed. Useful if the sandals will see beach, pool, or sprinkler time and you want cushioning underfoot.
Kids' Big Recliner Sandals: Non-scuff molded outsole. A practical detail for everyday play, though the record doesn't specify slip resistance.
New School II Hawaii Sandals: what the catalog confirms
Kids' Big Girls' New School II Hawaii Sandals: Designed for girls with sizes starting from size 1; shown in Black / 1. Confirms the starting size and the single variant listed, so you know what to look for on the product page.
Kids' Big Girls' New School II Hawaii Sandals
Kids' Big Girls' New School II Hawaii Sandals: Classic flip-flop design with a comfortable footbed for all-day wear. Helps you judge whether this is an everyday sandal rather than a specialty water shoe.
Kids' Big Girls' New School II Hawaii Sandals: Durable synthetic straps and outsole; lightweight construction. Relevant for active kids who need a sandal that won't weigh them down.
Materials and everyday use
Which sandal is better for water play?
The Recliner Sandal is the only one of the two described as having water-friendly fabric. The New School II Hawaii Sandals record doesn't make a water-specific claim, so if the sandals will be in and out of water regularly, the Recliner is the clearer choice based on the supplied information.
Are either of these sandals machine washable?
Neither product record includes care instructions, so we can't confirm machine washing or any other cleaning method. Check the care label on the sandals when they arrive, or the product page, before cleaning them.
Can my child wear these sandals all day?
Both records describe comfort features: the New School II Hawaii Sandals have a comfortable footbed for all-day wear, and the Recliner Sandals have a soft padded footbed. Neither record promises injury prevention or orthopedic support, so choose based on fit and how your child will use them.
Choosing between the two
Which sandal should I pick for a child who needs a specific size?
The Recliner Sandals list sizes 1–4, so you can confirm availability across that range. The New School II Hawaii Sandals record only shows size 1 in Black, so if you need a larger size, the Recliner currently offers more confirmed options.
Which is the better value?
The catalog lists the Recliner Sandals at USD 21.00 (compared with USD 35.00) and the New School II Hawaii Sandals at USD 18.76 (compared with USD 28.00). Prices can change, so check the product pages for current pricing before you buy.
What if I'm still unsure about fit?
Measure your child's foot and compare it with the size options listed for each sandal. Since the records don't include a sizing chart or fit notes, the product page and the size variants shown are your best reference.
