    I loved these sandles as a child and now my daughter loves them! When she was four, she refused to wear anything but her Sun-Sans! Her sister wants me to order her some because they are hard to find in her size in the stores.

    I got the navy pair a year ago, and I love them, wear them quite often. I want a purple and a green pair, but I would take a tan pair. But I can't find them anywhere in adult size. Can you help???

    I love saltwaters. They are part of who you are. The color you wear is the person that you are. I love all the color's that are avalible and the wide variety of all the shoes. I love the Hot pink and black ones. If you wear them for a long time then you get a tan that makes your feet look like a zebra, it's kinda funny

    from I'm in Oregon, shoes were sent to Okinawa

    Best sandal in the world for children - These were ordered for my granddaughters in Okinawa. In the past, I have purchased them for their mother, aunt, cousins, and uncle. For some reason, as children wear them, they seem to stretch a little which means they last two years if taken care of. All of my children and grandchildren have worn them.

    Love these shoes.... I have purchased every color, color combination and pattern of this shoe.I believe I own about 34 pairs. My oldest ones were purchased in 1987 and I still wear them. I only wish Hoy would come out with some new colors. I would buy them for sure. Love these shoes.

    the original saltwater sandal - I've been wearing these sandals since I was a kid; I'd get a new pair of bright red ones every summer. I love these sandals, and I've had a hard time finding them in stores since I moved to the East Coast. So I was very excited to discover them here. The sizing is a bit odd; I wear a 7 usually and order a 4 in Saltwater sizes. They're not suited for extended all-day walking, as the soles aren't at all cushioned, but they're very comfortable for a regular work day. I've had many compliments on their appearance. And they're an excellent value for money, as they are practically indestructable.

    from Sacramento , CA

    BEAUtiFUL SANdALS - When I first ordered for saltwaters, I didn't get the word "youth." I thought that meant nothing, so I went ahead and bought my regular size, which is a 6. so I bought a 6 YOUTH. When I got my order, it turned out to be a 8 in WOMENS! Too big for me. I was disappointed to NOT get to wear my new sandals. So I returnd them and got a small size .. a 4! I still LOVE salt waters and planning to get more.

    So Happy to Find These - I was so excited when I discovered that Zappos carried these salt-water sandals. I remember wearing them as a little girl and desperately wanted a pair, but I couldn't find them anywhere. Thank goodness for Zappos. The sizing is sort of funny. I normally wear a womens 7 or 7.5 and I purchased a youth size 5 (which actually says womens 7 on the box) and they fit perfectly.

    Nostalgic - Still Great - I had a new pair of Salt-Water sandals every year when growing up. I loved wearing shoes into the ocean. It is wonderful that they are making them still and in adult sizes as well (although they are marked as "youth" sizes). They run 1-2 sizes (for women) larger than marked, but are still fabulous.

    Like the Shoes - The shoes are not exactly true to the size a size 6 in youth is a SMALL womens 8, so be careful when you order. They arent very comfortable after walking in them for a while. They dont have ANY support so you feel every bumb and rock on the ground. They are a fashion yes this summer though. Sometimes it hurts to be cute. Enjoy!
