Finally a shoe that doesn't fall apart or leave blisters! I wore these sandals as a kid and now my daughter has a pair. They never wear out, are easy to clean and she hasn't once complained about them being uncomfortable (which just never happens!). I'm sure that if her feet don't grow too much, she can wear them again next summer. A Great pair of sandals and well worth the price.

I love these shoes for my two and a half year old daughter. They are very stylish and go with everything from shorts to summer dresses. They are of excellent quality, and the best part is that she can wear them in the water without damaging them. They do run about a half size big. She's currently a size six and a half or seven, and the size six in this sandal fit perfectly.

Absolutely love these shoes! They are perfect for summer since they can get wet and the soft pink color is so sweet. They are true to size and have great support for my 2-year old.

Love these sandals! The bright yellow is a great summer color and my daughter wears these every day. They are a little difficult getting on the first time but if you look at the instructions in the box it shows you how to stretch the width. I highly recommend getting them wet first. The fit is much better. Hoy is a great brand. I have already ordered another color/style. As always Zappos shipped the same day and service is great.

These shoes are the best. I buy them for my daughter every year. I love them because they are comfy and especially because she has skinny long feet. And they look way way cute even with jeans; only bad thing is they are a bit pricey but worth the investment.

Love these shoes. Every time my little girl wears them she gets compliments. They haven't given her one blister either which I am grateful for. I will definitely buy these again and again for my kids.

I saw these and loved them for my 2 yr old. She really loves them. They do require some wear to break in. (Get wet then wear-really works!) a little slippery on the bottom too. But overall so cute! Nothing compares to the real deal Salt Water sandal!!

Great sandals -
These sandals have been around for a long time. I used to get them from stride rite for my daughter years ago. I went to look for them in the mall to get a pair for my niece and could not find them. Luckily I was able to locate them with Zappos. These sandals have a good fit and the colors are great too.

PERFECT SANDAL!! I have absolutely fallen in love with this sandal! I used to wear them when I was little, and now my daughter does as well! My daughter just had her 2nd birthday, and I have always purchased the Stride Rite Daffodil sandal for her...no more! I still think the Stride Rite is an awesome sandal, but the Salt Water Sandal fits my daughter's foot perfectly. These are high quality shoes, a classic design, and at a great price. I can't believe the price is so reasonable considering the quality of this shoe. Another great feature is that it is a classic buckle sandal, no Velcro, so it's not as easily taken off by young toddlers. The sole is a little stiff out of the box, so I just bent/folded them at the ball of the shoe (like you would a Birkenstock), and they were ready for wear. Also, if your child's feet tend to get blisters easily, the manufacturer recommends that you wet them, put them on your child, and as they dry, they will form perfectly to the shape of their feet. Therefore, creating a custom fit. You may not have to do this, as the leather on these seems soft enough not to cause blisters, yet firm enough to keep its shape. The icing on the cake? They come in several colors! Love it!

Cute sandal -
We just bought these in the fuchsia color and they are so cute. I have to agree with the other reviews and say they run about a half size larger, the width was fine for my 32 month old. We bought the size 8 and my daughter will have some room to grow but not enough for her to trip all the time. My daughter wore them around the house for a long time before she wanted them off, for her that's extremely unusual, she HATES shoes. I have to conclude that these must be comfortable and thanks to Zappos for getting them here so fast. Great sandal for the price!!

Fantastic Sandals -
I am thrilled that these shoes are still made! My four children wore them all through the 70's and early 80's. They are virtually indestructible - our kids wore them in salt water, fresh water, and on a daily basis where we lived. I bought them in pink for my new granddaughter who lives on a beach. They will be perfect and she can wear them every day when she begins toddling about!

Great summer shoe for little girls -
We needed a shoe that had no plastic because of my 1-year-old's sensitive skin (Crocs gave her a rash). These are great! They can get wet, look cute, and protect her little toes. I do recommend getting the shoes wet and letting your child wear them while the shoes are wet so they form to your child's feet.

Great sandal -
I bought these for my granddaughter they are as well made as I remembered I bought them for all four of my kids. Who wore them on the beach and in the back yard playing. The more they wore them the more comfortable they became. I had three children very close in age and they even lasted long enough to for me to hand them down.

Just like I remember. These are excellent sandals. The only shoe my 15 month old can stand to have on her foot and can't get off herself. I used to wear these 20+ years ago and they haven't changed a bit, other than in color. Just be aware they need time to be broken in. After that they are like wearing slippers. My kids love them.

We love buying these never outdated shoes. I wore them as a kid and now my daughter is wearing them. They fit great. True to size. So cute! Also, I ordered them yesterday and they are sitting in my living room right now! One day service, you just can't beat that! Customer service did a complementary upgrade on my shipping! I love Zappos and will be a life long customer.

I bought those shoes in brown for my son when he was 18 months old, they were great for him for the hot weather. It’s perfect shoes for boys who loves to play in the water, the dirt...So I bought those again for my daughter who is 14 months. For her it’s a good shoe to go to the park or the beach but not for everyday use. I think she is a little small to wear those because there is no arch support.
