I love these sandals! :) Each summer, I buy a new pair for my daughter in the next size up. they are cute, comfortable, and hold up EXTREMELY well with constant wear all summer long. Salt-waters are our go-to! They run true to size in my opinion. They don't have a lot of arch support, so not for a heavy walking day, but she has sneakers for that.

My daughter loves these sandals. This is her second pair and they hold up well and always look sweet. The custom service at Zappos was extremely helpful. Thank you!

I love Salt Water Sandals. This is the fourth pair I've bought, and I will continue to buy them for my girls. I've even considered getting myself a pair! They are so durable and don't wear out! The gold color is still as nice as it was when they were new and the straps are very sturdy and don't stretch out. They fit both girls well, my older daughter's foot is a little wide and she has no trouble wearing these shoes. I have found no need to buy a 1/2 size up like some children's shoe stores will tell you. When I tried to do that, the sandals were way too big. Now I just order the size they are in and both pairs fit both girls perfectly.

These sandals are darling and well made. We had to return them, however, because they were not wide enough for my daughter's wide foot. I'm sure they would fit a more typical medium width foot just fine.

These are wonderful sandals! My grandchildren (girls and boys) have a pair of these every summer. They are durable, as expected considering the price, and look great with casual as well as not so casual clothes.

These are a spring/summer staple for my kids. They are so cute and both my four and eight year olds say they are very comfortable. My kids are active and they are the perfect sandals for them to wear. I found them to fit true to size, but even if they are a bit long, the sandals still fit everywhere else and will not slip off, so that allows for two years of wear. The leather stays in good shape, so I feel like I am getting my money's worth with these shoes. They are the perfect dressy sandals without being fussy. We have had them in pink, yellow and turquoise and have been happy with every pair.

Great sandals. This is the second pair of these we have had. They wear very well. It is true they can get wet without damage. The ones my girl has outgrown are in good enough shape to pass on to a cousin, even though worn quite a lot. So it was easy to decide to get another pair. They do run a bit large. They soften up the more they are worn.

These shoes are beautiful and well constructed. Okay for play, though I only really feel my kids are safe in tennis shoes for hard play. The ankle strap bothers them in the back, hoping that will go away once the leather softens a little. Looked cute with ruffle bobby socks, especially since Easter was chilly this year.

Best sandals ever! Durable and very comfortable. I have three girls ages 8, 6, and 3 and they've had these every summer and never complained. They wear them with a simple tank and shorts and also with their dresses.

These shoes were just what I expected. Bought them for a warm weather trip. My 8 year old daughter wore them every day. Cro and flip flops caused her foot problems, so we needed shoes that would stay on. The buckle is less convenient than flip flops, but the buckle is why they stay on without clenching her foot, so we will take the trade off. I can tell they will last. Great shoes.

My daughter really likes these sandals. They are replacing a navy blue pair that she wore for 2 summers in a row. She loves the turquoise color. So fun!

My six year old daughter's review: "They are very comfortable and they are flat. You can almost feel the ground through the shoes. That's okay. I like them. I love the color. The buckle is a little hard." Mom's Review: Even buying them too big, they still fit well. My daughter has wide feet. There were no blisters, they took a beating, worn in water, mud, etc. and still look new.

Great kids shoe! It looks classic which I like. It is a fun color which my 6 year old daughter likes. It can get wet, it is comfortable, it is adjustable. It's a perfect little sandal.

I have bought these sandals for my daughters the past couple of years. They are well worth the money, comfortable soft leather and hold up great. I highly recommend if you are looking for an everyday sandal that can be dressed up or casual

I bought these for my youngest daughter, who only wears pink. They are a win! These sandals run about a 1/2 size big, consider that when ordering. Very comfortable too!

This our first pair of Salt Water Sandals and we are very happy with them. They do indeed run LARGE, but that is better than running small! They were comfortable right our of the box and the turquoise is a lovely, bright color. They seem very well made and reasonably priced. Overall, a great purchase.

The problem with these is that the back strap is to large and more you tighten the front the more it hurts. The front is too wide and may daughter's feet swim in it. We are returning.

The salt water sandals are adorable. This is the second year I have bought them for my girls. The purple and yellow are both adorable! I originally purchased for our 8 month old, in addition to the pairs for our 2 & 4 year olds but the shoe is a little too narrow for pudgy baby feet.
