    I love this shoe! This is my favorite kids sandal of all time. I started buying them when my oldest child was walking age. She is 24 now and I am buying them for my grandchildren!

    Our favorite! I have been buying saltwater sandals for several years. They look great and last forever. They do seem to run a little big. My kids have wide feet and these sandals fit them comfortably. The leather is soft enough to stretch. They fit right from the first day, no "breaking-in" period. I would recommend them without hesitation.

    A Classic! I wore saltwaters, handed down for 3 or 4 siblings! These are the sandles to get if you want unisex, indestructable, reasonably priced summer footwear. I have heard they are not comfortable for grown-ups, though.

    Salt Water Sandals - We always love our Saltwater Sandals!! If you have never bought your child any, you are in for a treat!! I have bought these for all of my children since 1982 thru 2004, for my last child who is 3... You can not ruin these shoes... my kids have worn them on the beach, in the ocean, and to play play play, and they always look great!! They are so durable that they were perfect when my youngest were small and they had one pair of sandals in summer, and they are perfect now, for my youngest who has many pair in different colors!! Definitely a must have for the summer!!

    Brands I'd also recommend: More Saltwater sandals in different colors!

    Great Sandals! Both my girls have worn these sandals for years, they are the best. They are a classic, simple style and they wear like iron. I found that the girls grew out of them before they had a chance to wear out. The leather gets softer and more comfortable with age! We Love them. Thanks for offering them on-line. I used to have to rely on west coat relatives to send them to us!!

    Awesome! This is the first time I have ordered these sandals. They are very cute, well made, and fit my daughter's narrow foot. I think she will outgrow them before they wear out. Will be getting her two pairs for next summer!!

    great shoe - You only need one shoe for the season, they fit and last all season long, wet or dry. And they never break fit just behind the stitch. We have used them for 15 years and now getting them for grandkids.

    All-American Sandals! My child is a "shoe killer", but she usually gets 2 YEARS wear out of a pair of Salt Water Sandals if purchased a half size larger. She wears them every day in the summer. Cute with summer dresses, shorts, or at the beach (of course).

    This is my daughter's 5th pair of these. They are a classic style and wear like iron. She can crawl on the driveway and run all day in these. Wipe them off and they look great. I prefer the thinner soles for kids and so does she.

    One of the best you'll buy for your child - My daughter LOVES these sandals and they are indestructible! She has worn them in the ocean and then to church the next day- and they look as good now as they did a season ago. She is particular about comfort (what child isn't?) and wore no other shoe nearly all last summer. An excellent value.

    I ordered these sandals for my daughter after searching for a plain, red sandal. I read the other reviews that the sandals can get wet and still look great. While we have not gotten them wet yet, we are pleased with the sandal overall. They seem to be comfortable and I like they have a flexible sole. They are not as cute as say Stride Rite or others we had previously. Nonetheless, they are cute and fit her well.
