Customer Reviews Salt Water Sandal by Hoy Shoes The Original Sandal (Toddler/Little Kid)

This is the second pair of Salt Water Sandals that I have purchased for my girls. The previous pairs lasted two summers. My nine and ten years old daughters love them. They look "nice" but wear so well. My girls have hiked down a gorge in them and swam in the dirtiest of rivers. These sandals take a beating and only get better with age. These run a little large.

Nice sandal. Order down a size or two. I used the measuring chart that is printable. It worked perfectly to show the correct size to order.

Love these sandals. Have purchased a new pair for my daughter each summer for the last 5 years. This pair would have been perfect except for some wonky stitching on the bottom of the sole. Returning for a non-defective pair.

I love these little Salt Water sandals! This is our third pair. We've purchased them for our daughter every summer for the past three years. They are a little tricky to break in. A good tip - let your little one splash around in a baby pool while wearing them. It really softens them up. Great quality. Durable. If you're in between sizes, I'd say size up. You lose a lot of width when you size down.

Loving these shoes! I'm an adult, size 5.5 and bought the Salt Waters in size 3. They fit great! Pretty comfy for walking in, considering they are flat sandals. I love the retro look, they work great with dresses or shorts.

I buy salt water sandals for my three granddaughters yearly. Thrilled to see patent leather to add to the natural leather. Adorable.

Love these shoes! Very versatile and great quality. Run very large though! Had to send the first pair back...but got excellent customer service from Zappos as always and had the new pair the next day!

My daughter measures 11.5 and on the advice of many reviews I ordered 11. Since they run big they are a perfect fit and will work well through the summer. The purple color is super cute! She wears these for church and more dressy affairs, but lives in Keen sandals in the summer for play. The lack of traction and toe coverage rules them out for school and everyday.

I bought these sandals for my 8 year-old granddaughter (she chose them). Her comments: "They are great sandals and you can run in them. They fit good. I had a hard time choosing from all the great colors -- blue, silver, pink, red and more."

These are great sturdy and comfortable for my daughter who has sensitive feet. At first I worried that the standard sole would be too hard but it softened right up. Would buy another color!

Love these shoes! I buy them every year for my daughter. Cute colors are great wear! This style runs big, so I order a size down.

Perfect sandal! This is the second year in a row I've ordered this sandal for my daughter. It's perfect for summer. Super comfortable, but stylish, too. My daughter sizes an 11.5 or 12. I originally ordered the 12 thinking it would give her some growing room, but they were HUGE! At least a size too big. I ordered the 11 and she still has room to grow. Also, a word about Zappos customer service. I had ordered these shoes prior to spring break. Unfortunately, I had to return the original size. They overnighted me the correct size at no additional charge, so she had the shoes prior to us leaving on vacation. Zappos sets the bar on excellent customer service!

I love these sandals. I wish that they would make all the bottoms (the part that touches the bottom of the foot) brown instead of white, however. I've ordered Salt Waters in every color for every one of my kids through the years. The brown bottom seems to hold up better and stay looking cleaner and newer. The white cracks and looks old way before the shoe actually wears.

Just ordered our second pair of Salt Water Sandals. They are fantastic and Zappos has the best selection of styles and colors. Two things you should know: 1) These sandals run a full size larger than other shoes, at least. i.e. my daughter who wears a 4 in other brands, I just ordered her a size 2 in the Salt Water Sandal. Her size 1 pair from last year still fit, but they are snug and she won't make it through the summer. My other daughter wears a size 2 in other shoes, and her size 13 Salt Water sandals from last year fit but just barely. I just ordered her a size 1. So take advantage of Zappos Divine Return Policy and order multiple sizes. Second, the first time your child wears them, it is smart to take the manufacturer's suggestion and put them on the child wet and let them run around outside in the sun while the sandals dry. You will end up with a custom fit and no blisters. Have a great summer and thank you Zappos!

Love these shoes. My daughter wore the red ones daily until she outgrew them, and they were still in great shape.

I got this pair for my three year old daughter. I tried size 9 first and they were too big and ordered 8; they provided a better fit but still had room to grow in.They are pretty, look comfortable as well. She loves them. I will buy another pair next season.

I ordered these for my daughter whose feet are very narrow and they fit. They didn't flop around like the majority of the sandals out there. Also, she wore them all summer and they stayed looking like new! I ordered them for her again and my daughter who is younger will also be wearing them. The shoe does run a whole size bigger.

Timeless sandal, great colors. My pre-teen has them in green, my 6 year-old wears them in hot pink, I got 'em in orange. Need I say more? We love them! And the price is right.

These are the best children's sandal I have found. They are comfortable and durable. They get wet and dry beautifully. I buy these for my children every summer. We wear them for dress and for everyday.

These are super cute and pretty durable. My daughter loves them. We bought them to replace another pair which had been worn to shreds-3 summers of use. They last way longer than cheap sandals but not as long as Chacos or Keens would. I bought a size smaller than she would wear for her tennis shoes which is what I usually do for sandals.

These are super cute on. I am not crazy about the look of the construction between the sole and the straps but with that said it does seem sturdy and we haven't had any problems with these (and we have bought them before so this isn't our first pair). My daughter is very tough on shoes and these seem to stand up to her even in the glossy. We did the hot pink ones and they're really adorable with dresses and shorts. She actually requested these due to the style and I was very happy to oblige since I remembered how much I loved them when she was a toddler. I also love that they can go in the ocean as we live near water and some of the playgrounds abut the ocean and we have freshwater all around us too. I don't have to be concerned with her ruining these quickly like I do most of her others. Definitely a good buy. However, I will say I went with her normal sneaker size originally and had to return them for a smaller size. In comparison to her other sandals I felt these still ran big.
