Customer Reviews Salt Water Sandal by Hoy Shoes Salt Water Original Sandals (big Kid)

These are quite basic, almost retro and old fashioned. I wore stuff just like this as a kid in the '70s. I love "minimalist" shoes and these come close, except for the bit of heel lift. The leather for this style was stiffer than the other two styles, which I also just ordered, but I wet it before wearing initially and that helped. Overall they're quite fun!

Snug but comfy.

the best sandals you will ever own. i toured spain, france and italy in these shoes for 3 weeks. better than sneakers in many aspects. love them. i own 3, a tan, a navy and a red. thinking about the rose gold at the moment.

These sandals are so cute, the leather is soft which makes the sandals mold to your foot, however there isn’t any arch support, which is fine for me but if you need some type of cushion inside, this is definitely not a shoe that you want to buy, other than that they fit well. I wear a 8 1/2 in Nike’s, sketchers, and pumas, I bought a big kids 7 to be safe (women’s 9) and they fit perfect, (too perfect) you may want to get a size up

I love these sandles!!! At first they feel snug, but all you have to do is get them wet just a bit and wear them, and they totally stretch out so order your normal size. Super super cute and comfortable!!

I am a size 9 1/2 . The 9 were snug but the 10 fit perfectly.

Finally, Mom gets a pair. They fit great but didn't have any arch support. I have tender feet and the leather was just too stiff. I really wanted a pair too! My son wore these every summer. My favorite were the red pair and short red and white striped Osh Gosh B'Gosh overalls and a red shirt. He was standing next to red tulips. So cute!

We love these darling, classic sandals and buy a pair every summer for our daughter. They always fit well and never rub any blisters on her feet.

These classic shoes are adorable. Definitely get them wet and let them dry to the shape of your feet before wearing them out. They are comfortable, but definitely not meant for miles of walking. There's no arch support- so you'll suffer later if you overdo it in these shoes.

My first pair. It fits perfectly. Haven’t walked in them much, but they feel very well made.

Saltwater sandals are an old favorite and it feels good to be wearing them again. I am a women's size 8 and the Big kid 6/Women's 8 fits perfectly. Love the retro style and even though there is little to no arch support they are comfortable! Helpful hint: if they are a little snug, moisten the sandals with water and wear them until they air dry. This will conform the leather to your foot.

Had to size up, but still the same great fit I remember when I got the right pait. Made the mistake of ordering from Amazon who has such a limited return window now -- so I had to sell the first pair I bought to a friend. Then decided to go back to trusty ol' Zappos for my replacement pair, in case I needed to return them again. But the new larger size I ordered fit like a dream! Love them as they remind me of my childhood, but of course now in cooler colors!

I am an 8 1/2 and i sized up to a 9 so my toe wouldn't hang over. This worked perfectly. I suggest sizing up if you are a true 8 1/2 since it does not come in half sizes. no arch support really but they are cute and have a vintage look which is what i was going for. They are not uncomfortable but they do not have cushion.

i love them!!! perfect fit and super comfy

These are my favorite daily sandals! I have several colors and plan to add several more! As always, Zappos rocks!!!!

This is my 3rd pair and probably my most favorite ones yet. I order my true show size, 7 women’s. I did try going up 1 size but they were too big as they will stretch out. I love them so much!!!

These sandals are AWESOME! A friend had them on and I asked her about them. Ordered matching pairs for my 9 year old daughter and I. Hers seemed a tiny tight in the toe area at first, so we followed the directions - got them wet (feet in the tub) and had her wear them while they dried. They stretched a bit and she's been wearing them daily ever since. I wear a 9.5 when available, a 40 in Birkenstock, and sometimes a 10 in boots. I went with the 9 and they were too small. the 9.5 was perfect and even better after getting them wet. Felt a little odd at first because I am used to a moldered footbed, but I quickly got used to them. No break in anything - no rubbing, sores, etc. Highly recommend!

These were super comfortable right out of the box. They feel great and can be dressed up or down. Glad I did a little reading about the sizing since, as other reviews suggest, it's a bit confusing. But I paid attention and wound up with the right size on the first try. Would definitely recommend (and may be coming back for another color...)

Fit is true to size. We buy these every year for our growing kids. They are wonderful even for our daughter with flat feet. And they can get wet, added bonus for younger kids!

We originally bought the size my daughter wears in tennis shoes but it was too large. Since these run in whole sizes when you miss you miss big. Definitely recommend ordering a size down from what you wear in tennis shoes. Got the right size and they are perfect and pretty!

Amazing sandals. Walked from the Upper WEST Side to the Village in NYC a couple.of days after I got them and couldn't tell they were brand new. Sizing is really weird though. Had to get women's 10 and the size on the sandal is 8 so got 2 pairs in the wrong size until I figured out my size but just to say that Zappos CS was second to none! They refunded my 2 wrong ordered so quickly and sent me my correct order next day delivery so pretty amazing.

Gorgeous and comfortable for my 9yo, but take note - if they feel way too tight around the front of your foot, you need to soak them & wear til dry ! It makes a huge difference.

I was really surprised that I liked these. They are definitely wider then any shoe that I own but they are so comfortable. I can wear these all day without any issued. I purchased the tan in a women's 7 (typically wear a 6.5-7.0) and they go with everything. Highly recommend.

This is the cutest sandal. I love the way it looks with everything I wear. It is my new favorite “run around town” shoe.

Comfortable right out of the box!!
