Hoy Salt Water Shoes -
I was reminded by my older daughter that I used to buy these for her when she was little. Now I am getting them for my granddaughter! They are a great shoe. Can also get wet!

Very pretty -
The colors are brighter than they appear on the screen but they are still really pretty and go with a lot. The width was a little tight, but loosened up quickly.

Nice little sandals!!
I bought these sandals in fuchsia for my daughter, I like them they for a child, they are not too much. I was worried about the sandals not being comfortable around the ankle but she likes to wear them and she never complains about.

One of the best sandals for kids ever -
My daughter LOVES these sandals and they are indestructible! She has worn them in the ocean and then to church the next day- and they look as good now as they did a season ago. She is particular about comfort (what child isn't?) and wore no other shoe nearly all last summer. An excellent value.

Incredible -
My 2-year-old granddaughter absolutely fell in love with the sandals. Everytime she leaves the house, she asks for her sandals. They are wonderful! Easy to put on, she KEEPS them on (unlike most shoes we put on her) and they are durable and easy to clean for the next wear!Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Leather Sandals Hard to Find -
My daughter is 15 months old & I prefer her to wear leather sandals. I don't want to where synthetic shoes in the summer & decided she didn't want to either. These sandals are great! They can be casual or worn with her church dresses. She did get some red spots around her ankle from rubbing. Also, the top section that crosses over the toes is really squishy. I was able to stretch the leather a little in order to squeeze her chubby foot into it. They will stretch.

Great shoe!
The minute my 3 year old put on this shoe, she said "soft!" The shoe also looks great with a dress or shorts.

The Perfect Sandal -
My daughter has a narrow heel, and most shoes (even velcro sandals) slip or rub. I was so excited to find these shoes on Zappos, as most trips to the shoestore end up in tears with nothing fitting right (especially the cute shoes). We ordered them in the Shiny Fuchia and they are adorable!! I'm already planning on ordering them in another color for when school starts. They seem as if they will really hold up well, I don't have to worry where she wears them because they're waterproof. She's worn them every day and they still look brand new. Oh, thank you Zappos-- I may never have to drag my 6 year old through the mall again!!

Made in the USA!
My daughter is really hard on sandals, so I was really pleased to find such a sturdy pair, and waterproof, wow! They're American-made, which means a lot to me, and way cheaper than the European-brand sandals I usually buy.

These are a GREAT sandal for kids, as they are very durable! This is my daughter's second pair of sandals this summer--I wish I have spent the money on these to begin with. She likes them and they go with everything.

My daughter picked these out for herself, She loves them. She has long narrow feet, most new shoes that I buy her rub somewhere or give her a blister. These were painless; they were still a little wide on her but that is expected with her feet, but the leather is so soft that it didn't hurt her feet and the back strap is low enough that it didn't rub her ankle bone. We both love these.

I remember these shoes as I was growing up on the Oregon Coast and now I have purchased a pair for my daughter. A great sandal for any occasion.

Salt Water Sandal -
The young people in my family have been wearing these sandals for three generations. Zappos expedited the order quickly.

I have purchased Saltwaters for both of my children throughout the years. My 13 year old wore them when he was young and my 3 year old lives in them. I can remember wearing Saltwater's myself as a teen. They were quite the rage in the 70's for us. Thanks for continuing the tradition and making such a great shoe. I do however miss the neon green color.

I have purchased Saltwater Sandals for all three of my kids over the past years. These sandals are the absolute best for wear and value. My kids wear them from April to October everyday from play to church and they still look awesome. I will never purchase any other brand of sandal.

I really like Hoy shoe's salt water sandals. I been purchasing them for my child since she was 1 year old. Now she is 7 yrs old. I really like the colors Salt Water Sandals offer. My child indicates that they are comfortable. I will continue to buy them in the future.

Keep on trying to wear us out!
I have purchased salt water sandals for the last several years for my two daughters. They wear forever and look like new even after both girls have worn them for a season. I will even be able to pass them on to my new grand daughter since they have lots of wear left in them! Be aware that the shoes run large.

Overall I like the sandals. However I think the clasp feels cheap. Also the clasp is connected to the leather by what looks like staples which to me seems like a cheap way to do it, and I’m not sure how that will hold up. It was between these or the more expensive German sandal maker and for my daughter who will only fit in them for a season, these are much more price friendly— but I see a difference in quality.

My granddaughter has wider feet and I was hoping these would fit her but her feet were too wide for these sandals so we had to return them.

These are very sweet. They seem to run a little big. The leather is very soft. I thought my daughter (3) would love them more, but she doesn't gravitate to them, I think because she can't do the buckle herself.

Saltwater Sandals for Toddlers -
Great durable sandals for a toddler. They could use a little more cushion in the insole, but most toddler sandals do not have this.

The soles are a little stiff and very slick. Otherwise, I love the sandals.

I have never had trouble with saltwater sandals like I am having with these. I buy saltwaters yearly for my daughter. I know they run a full size larger. My daughter is about an 11.5 shoe size so I ordered an 11 because I figured better to have a little growing room. The 11s were comically huge. I returned for 10s and while I can tell the length is right they are SO narrow she was crying trying to fit her foot through. Saltwaters do stretch and form to your feet when you get them wet but I am nervous to keep them and try it because I’ve never dealt with this narrow of a fit before. I love the style of Saltwaters but this may be the first year we have to pass...

These are so adorable but very very narrow. The straps left marks on her feet after just trying them on and taking a few steps. This brand doesn’t typically run narrow like this.
