These are very stylish and flexible enough to be paired with jeans or a summer dress. I added an insert to mine for better arch support.

I’ve wanted a pair of saltwater sandals for so long!! Originally order the Size 6 which Zappos said was equivalent to a US women's 8, however they were just too small, my heel hung off the back. My feet are not wide, and I almost always wear a US 8, every now and then an 8 1/2. Just received size 7 (US 9) and they are perfect!! I soaked in them in water for a few minutes and have been wearing them around the house. They are already molding to my feet. It may take some trial and error to get the sizing right, but the return process was very easy. Overall, I love them and can’t believe I waited so long to order!

Super cute & exactly what I was looking for. The mustard yellow is bright and fun.. I did have to go up almost a full size, though is it kids sizing. I am normally a women's 7.5 - 8 and needed to order the Big Kids 7 (women's 9)

I love these shoes! I have a few others in different colors and know other people with them so I know exactly what size to get but if this is your first time buying them just a heads up you should order them a size up! I wear a 9 occasionally a 9.5 and ordered the women’s 10 or big kid 8 as it says in their sizing and they fit perfect!! They are great shoes though super cute, comfy and they can get wet!!!! Their meant to get wet too, when you first buy them you should get them wet and then put them on wet this will allow the leather to stretch and conform to your foot, it will also make them much softer and comfier, if you do not get them wet before wearing them the first time they can be rough and rub your foot wrong, I usually soak them for a few minutes before my first 1-3 wears and then after that they are good to go! Highly recommend these shoes!!

I just love these so much. I love they are water shoes and also super stylish. I love them with jeans or dresses. True to size as are as length, I am a women’s 9. A bit narrow but I owe that to the fact that they’re technically kids shoes. My last pair was a size bigger and the extra toe area always bothered me but it was the only size left so I took it. My dog chewed them up so I finally got another pair, one true to size. They’re great for casual wear or out kayaking or good to wear on a cloudy day with a chance of rain bc I know they won’t get ruined if yet (ie I don’t wear my birks out of there’s a chance of rain). They offer zero arch support, the bed is thin and flat but I still love them.
I'd also recommend:

I feel like a little kid again. Loving these leather sandals. I am a 7-7 1/2, so I ordered a 7. Good fit. An 8 would have been too big.

I LOVE MY SALTIES! I was a bit hesitant to order Salt Water Sandals from Zappos because the top review says these don’t fit like Salties ordered from ModCloth. This is untrue. I’ve gotten my 3 previous Salties from ModCloth, but they stopped carrying them and I wanted the olive color, so because of Zappos great return policy, I ordered them. They fit just like my Salt Water Sandals from ModCloth. These are my most favorite sandals ever. I can walk for miles in them and they are super comfortable. However, they do not offer any arch support.

As always these sandals are awesome. Never any blisters. They stretch to a perfect fit. Totally water tolerant. I get a new pair every summer and last year's pair becomes this year's water shoes for the river. I have wide feet and these always stretch to be my most comfy by far.

I bought these for my 22 yo daughter. She has grown up wearing Salt Waters. This summer she wanted a white pair to make her legs look even more tan than they are. These sandals do the trick and she is very happy : )

I've bought Salt Water Sandals for my children for years and years. It was time for a pair for myself. The navy is perfect since I have such an affinity for navy accessories, shoes, bags. My daughter and I wear the same size shoe so I ordered the size she has. Sadly, two of my toes rub against the stitching on the footbed and I know that will be increasingly uncomfortable as I wear the sandal. Unfortunately, my pair is going back. That's a win for my other daughter because I'm going to get her a replacement pair for the ones she wore all last summer. *One Salt Water Sandal Hack I learned from a Nordstrom salesperson about 25 years ago - When you get them, wear them in the shower a few times. That will help soften the leather and mold them to your feet. These are truly hand-me-downable sandals.

I love these sandals. I had them as a kid and was delighted to find they made them for adults a few years ago. I bought the rose gold last year and the soft pink patent this year. So much fun! And they are surprisingly comfortable. I wear them a LOT! I have wide feet so harder to find cute shoes. I am a size 9 and the size 9 fit. My experience is they will stretch a little with wear.

Can't ever go wrong with a pair of these! I have three now, red, gold and black. I love that they can be paired so well with shorts or jeans or a casual dress.

Very happy with these saltwaters! Fit is perfect, quality is excellent and can wear with shorts or dresses. I have bought these for my kids for years and am so happy they also carry adult sizes.

Very durable sandals. Have been buying these for my daughter every year since she was a toddler when her size changes and the sandals still look great when she outgrow them. Perfect for a sibling hand me down! Comfortable and cute. She is 12 now and still loves Salt Waters.

I love the shoes, but unfortunately they are far to narrow for my foot and going up a size would be too big. Darn it.

I love these sandals! I bought these as a back up pair because they are so popular they tend to go out of stock often. If you have never bought a pair of these sandals before they will feel small and tight when you first get them. The best thing to do is get them wet and walk around to stretch them out and conform to your foot. you might have to do that a few times.

I have always loved these shoes for my daughter and finally got myself a pair. They are super cute and I get lots of compliments. I feel like I may have been able to go down a size since they are leather so have some give and there's a bit of extra room in the footbed but it's not really an issue.

After reading the comments, I ordered up a 1/2 size, and the 9 fits my size 8-1/2 feet perfectly. It’s the dead of winter here in NYC so I’ve only worn them around my apartment for a little while, but they seem quite comfortable - and are cute as all get-out. I can’t wait for summer so I can wear them - or even for spring, with a pair of thin white anklets.

I typically buy saltwaters for my kids, but this was a fun purchase for me! I love that they come in Adult sizes. Super comfortable and stylish! Now I need these in Rose gold!
