    These sandals are super. Bought a couple pairs for my 13 year old daughter over 4 year period. Purchased one pair each for sons ages 6 & 8. Over summer they wore them, somewhat reluctantly due to other kids' comments about sandals looking girly. Unfortunately they are not "unisex" enough. Need thicker, darker soles & velcro closures to be boy friendly. Made the boys wear them anyway because they beat Keen's, etc. In Keen's the feet get gross & stinky because sandals are too synthetic & enclosed.

    I just scored a tan pair of these classic sandals at the thrift store, they were almost brand new! I had admired the style since I saw a pair on a friend years ago, but never found out who the maker was until now. If I like them maybe I will buy more online here! I'll try them out at the beach tomorrow for sure. I wear a 6 1/2 and the sandal I got is labeled W/7 on the bottom. It's roomy width-wise but it looks good that way.

    Great sandals. Mine fit just right, and I was surprised that I had no initial blisters or breaking in problems. Comfortable from the get-go! I bought them specifically to wear as water shoes during vacation, but they are so comfortable, I wear them nearly every day and plan to buy at least one more pair.

    Surprisingly comfortable sandal! I needed something flat & accommodating - I am pregnant and knew that the Philly heat and humidity would be taking its toll. I was a little worried that these would be too flat or not soft/comfy enough for walking a lot, but my worries were unfounded. I've worn these a lot, often walking for an hour or two, and they remain comfortable. The rubber sole is not squishy, but it's softer than it looks, and the leather conforms perfectly to my foot - not a single blister or sore spot from day one. I have more expensive sandals from Dansko, but these are my everyday go-to favorite now. Plus I love the retro style.

    I love these sandals! I have narrow feet, but in these sandals it doesn’t matter what width you have. And although there is no arch support, I can wear them all day. My only complaint is that in the youth/adult sizes, the colors are very limited. I’d really like a pair in a tan color, but c’est la vie.

    These shoes are so cute and I find myself wanting to wear them all the time! Others think so, too, I get lots of compliments. They are not that comfortable if you are on a hard surface because they offer no support, but if you are on grass or sand, they are very comfortable.

    I wear a women\'s 7, but got these in a 6 Youth. The 7 Youth was too big. They are as comfortable as they can be with no arch support or padding of the sole. I\'m 48, overweight and wore them all day and was just fine. :-)

    These are great summer sandals! Though they are classics, they have a nice retro feel for indie looks. They are so comfortable-- they don't need break in time at all-- they are soft right out of the box. The only down side is that there is no arch support-- which might make the lower leg area sore after a lot of walking. But I still love these sandals!

    The Classic - Saltwater sandals are so cute, and they are virtually indestructible. Have to have a pair or two for my daughter every summer. Very flat and no arch support, though, so not the best for people with foot problems.

    Be careful of sizing - Size 8 does not mean "size 8" It says on the shoe "size 8 - woman's 10"! The size I need, because I am a natural size 8, is salt water sandal size 6! Be careful. On the lighter side, I love these shoes. I traveled all through Europe in them. They don't have much of an arch support and are pretty darn flat, but I find them extremely comfortable. They're the best in tropical destinations because they can get wet - that actually makes them fit even better. Love them!

    Salt Water Sandals--Perfect "in-between" sandal for kids - The Salt Water Sandal is great as a sandal that is a bit dressier than flip flops and sports sandals for kids. I needed a sandal for my son to wear for my sister's Greek Isle wedding, and this fits the bill.

    Perfect sandals - I've been wearing Salt Waters for 20 years (along with my kids). I particularly like wearing them for work (I'm on my feet all day), and they are comfy from the minute I put them on.

    Oh Boy - He Loved Them - My son wore the white Salt Water Sandal in a wedding in Mexico. We were concerned that they looked too girly. He was hesitant to put them on. However, once we added them to his custom made outfit, he fell in love with them. This eight year old played hard in these shoes. They were great. He reminded me numerous times that they were really comfortable. Thanks!

    A lovely shoe. I used to wear these sandals exclusively when I was a child. They’re probably not very good for your feet (they are very flat and stiff, at least at first), but they're perfect if you strive to find a simple shoe. They go with anything, and have a classic, youthful look. The sizing was a bit of a headache for me. All the comments told me differing things as far as which size I should pick. I was kind of shooting in the dark, but I got it right. I’m a large seven and a half, sometimes 8, and I picked the youth 6, which I believe fits like and 8. It also says w/8 on the bottom.
