Great shoes. My 14 mo normally wears a 5.5 and the 5 fit perfectly. I love this style b/c they don't have velcro and she can't pull them off.

My daughter loves these shoes and wears them all the time! However, we have had some trouble breaking them in. They don't seem to have a lot of 'give', and so her feet had a couple of blisters for a while. She insisted that we keep them and we put a band aid on her foot to protect it whenever she wears it. It bothers her less and less, but I'm afraid to take away the band aid when she puts them on! Cute shoe, but not that flexible.

Great sandal - comfortable and sturdy, and fits my toddler's feet well. I think they run a bit big (she normally wears a 7, but the 6 fits her) - love the classic style and versatility.

The sandals are very cute and they fit perfect and go with anything; I have them in white. It is also easy to clean them.

I love these classic shoes. They remind me of my childhood growing up and I want my daughter to have the same memories. I buy her a new pair every summer. They are so cute!
My 3-year-old loves these shoes and they fit her great - true to size and very comfortable. I wore these shoes as a child and I love the fact that they are classics.

Absolutely LOVE these shoes; just ordered another pair in white for my 18 month old grandbaby! These are the classic summer sandals-- comfy from the first day of wear; no "breaking in" time or blisters on those little toes or heels. Great quality at a great price! The customer service at Zappos is icing on the cake; from start to finish they keep you "in the loop" on the order status and the shipping time is AMAZING! This last pair I ordered on a Sunday--Memorial Day weekend, and the shoes were on my front porch Tuesday morning!!

Ahhh-dorable sandals!!! These are the perfect red leather sandals for the summer, color & leather is beautiful and they seem comfortable for my 1 1/2 year old. No unusual pressure marks on her feet after wearing them for a while. The only bad thing is they are a bit slippery; wish the bottom sole had a bit more texture, not so smooth.

Tried and True -
My daughter turned two years old recently and this is already our 4th pair of Hoy Salt Water sandals. We like the supple, yet supportive leather that doesn't blister tender feet, even in humid conditions. The straps are well-positioned so no little toes poke through and get caught on the outside of the shoe. The soles aren't slippery on wet surfaces, either. I wore these sandals as a child and we will continue to buy them. We especially like them in red - not too orange, not too blue. It makes for a surprisingly great summer neutral.

PERFECT SANDAL!!
I have absolutely fallen in love with this sandal! 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 can't be taken off easily 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!

Love them -
We are very happy with the shoe - they are lovely, well made, and the price is great. They are a tad tight on my 2 year old; even though the size is correct, but she has kind of difficult feet so I'm not sure it is the fault of the shoe...

Great summer sandals! I ordered these for both my 2-year-old and my 4-year-old, and they both love them. They seem to be super comfortable. My older daughter wants to wear them everyday, even if they don't match her outfit. The buckle is easy enough for her to handle, but hard enough so her younger sister can't take them off (a good thing). Just a great sandal for all summer.

Cute, great shoes!
I got these for my daughter, 2, after having them recommended by my mom because I wore them when I was a child, too! Turns out the quality is still great and the shoes do mold to her feet! She likes the sole, which makes a tapping noise when she walks. Although it seems stiff initially, it does mold a bit and seem to be comfortable for a child who is already walking and running. I would definitely recommend this versatile sandal!

Just had to buy these for my granddaughters!
I have four daughters of my own and could not believe these were still around. They are the same quality now as they were over 20 years ago. I could not believe the service that Zappos provided in getting these out to California sooo fast. As soon as the sandals arrived we tried them on both girls. Hailey(3) and Courtney(2)love these. I purchased White so they can wear with anything.

LOVE THIS SANDEL -
I love this sandal. I bought this style in a couple colors for my 22 month girl. No blisters and she can't unbuckle the shoe... which makes my life easier. I love everything about the shoe.

Very "Old School"
I bought these in red for my two-year old daughter & I love them. Every time we go out, someone always comments on how they bought Salt Water's for their kids.
