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

These are wonderful summer sandals with ONE exception - they are pretty flat, so after a day of walking around on concrete sidewalks in them, I can feel the lack of support in my ankles and shins. But they are so comfortable on, they go with shorts, skirts, or jeans, and they are fine in the water! They are truly perfect for the beach.

Bought size 5 kids, as I'm a 7 in adult sizes. Great fit, neutral color, and goes with everything!

I love these sandals! When I first tried them on, they felt like they might rub in a couple of spots. However, I wore them all day yesterday and had no problem at all. It seems they just needed to stretch a tiny bit since they had not been worn, and they are now perfect. Not only do they look good on, the color is exactly as pictured and they are comfortable enough to wear all day. I recommend!

I wear Birkenstocks and Keen sandals. I ordered a pair of SW sandals for the look and color. These sandals were a surprise for the fit and comfort. I have narrow feet and high arches, and these sandals were easy to wear right out of the box. Love the water friendly feature for Florida showers. I ordered 5 more pairs to wear instead of my heavy Keens. Love the price too.

I've been wearing Salt Water Sandals( the classic style with the interlocking straps in the front) since 1974! I'm usually a 81/2 in sandals and 9 in other shoes, sometimes a nine in sandals. I'm always a 7 in Salt Water Sizing. They don't have arch support so if you are looking for that you will be disappointed. However, they have other great properties-they don't mind getting wet. In fact, when they are new it's a good idea to get them very wet wet and then then put them on your feet and wear them for an hour or so. They will start to then soften up and start shaping to your foot. They are easy to clean and they look great with anything-shorts, skirts, leggings...you name it. The price is still right-inexpensive for a mostly leather sandal. I find they are a go to sandal for very hot weather as you can cool off your feet in the water and they dry quickly, they are loose enough that you don't get sweaty. What's not to like about these classics? Great for kids and adults.

These shoes were perfect when I was 4 and they are perfect now!

I love the look, it's retro looking. Casual but also good enough for the evening. There is no arch support, I don't understand how this sandals can be SO comfortable but they are and they come in all kind of cute colors ! Thé first time I wore them, they felt tight on my feet ( my feet are on the wider spectrum of the regular wight), what you have to do is get them wet and let them dry on your feet and Voilà they are molded to you feet and super comfortable. It's great if like me you live in a sub tropical climate where rubber boots and waterproof sandals are a must. You don't have to give up style for practicality here these sandals are made to be worn in the wet! And you can wash them on the cold cycle, what's not to like.

I saw these sandals in a magazine and thought I'd give them a try. It's amazing how comfortable they are, despite the lack of arch support. I'm very pleased with the look and comfort of these sandals. I would consider buying these in several other colors during the summer!

These were a gift to my daughter so I can't comment except to say that she likes them.

Love these! Will probably become a classic I order again and again.

I just love them! So stylish yet so very playful! Make me feel like a kid again. They make me smile when I wear them! All day shopping comfort! Highly recommend! I do NOT want to admit how many colors I own! Get a pair!

So glad I bought these! I have a wide foot and high instep but the leather on these moves enough to adapt my feet. Super cute and comfortable. Can’t wait to buy another pair.

I had a pair of Salt Waters back in the 90s,and loved them! I was so excited to see an add for these!! About the sandals: I will say that they run a bit wide. I wear an 8.5 wide in shoes, and the Big Kid 6/Womens 8 fits perfectly, with plenty of room for my wide feet. I probably could've fit a 7, but it would've been tight. I purchased a pair in tan, which is the exact same color I had as a kid. 10/10 will purchase more.

Nostalgia trip. We had these in the 80's, my kids wore them in the late 90's. I'd forgotten what great shoes they are, simple leather shoes that can handle getting wet but have more polish than typical water sandals. I'm glad to see them back, and in cute colors. I got them in mustard and they look great. Go with oants, jeans and sundresses so they are a versitile summer travel option. They are very stiff out of the box, but they adapt nicely after wetting them and wearing them around the house for a few days. I am usually a 7- 7 1/2 US women's in sandals and an 8 in running shoes. I got these in a 6 kids/ 8 women's. They might still fit a half size down, they have a little more toe room than I usually give sandals. But I figure it gives my feet room to swell in the heat and reduces stubbed toes on a rocky beach, so I kept them.

These are a great sandal! Perfect for business casual of Jean Friday :)

Excellent.

I am so grateful to the person who said if you are a half size order up. I ordered the women's 8 and I am usually a 7 1/2. The 8 is a perfect fit. The color is fabulous (I ordered one pair of blue, one of red)

I’ve loved these since I was a young girl. Still cute and a great summer sandal

Wow was I surprised by these. Super sturdy construction, seem to go with my entire wardrobe. Elegant enough for a dress, casual enough for jeans. Can't wait to buy in other colors.

I wear a 7.5/8 and these fit great! The red is a great shade.

I love these sandals. They hold a classic look that will stand the test of time. When I first tried them on, they were very tight, however since they are leather, I feel they will loosen up nicely. I will be getting these sandals a couple other colors in the near future. Great price too!

I was torn on what size to order since I am more of a 6.5, but the 7 was a good choice. They fit even better after I followed the tip to soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes before wearing them the rest of the day so that the leather forms to your feet as it dries. The tan color goes with just about everything and I have worn them pretty much every day since I got them. If you are used to shoes with lots of padding and foam, these may take some getting used to since they are very flat and have no padding, but you will be surprised how comfortable they are even without all that. They allow your foot to spread out into a more natural position and there's no pinching or rubbing. It's so nice to wear a new pair of shoes and not get blisters!

I wear a women's size 8 in virtually every type/brand of shoe I purchase. I ordered the Youth 6/ Women's 8. At first they were very snug, but I followed the included instructions to loosen/stretch them - even putting them in water, stretching them, and wearing them as they dried. I know that seems like a lot of work, but they are worth it. The stretching did not affect the appearance of the sandals at all and they are extremely comfortable now. I have only worn them for a few hours at a time so I can't comment on how they will be for all day wear involving a lot of walking. I plan to take them on several trips over the summer and have no reason to believe they would be uncomfortable for all day wear. And they're so cute!

My daughters wore these when they were young. I was so glad to find them in my size! I saw them featured in Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Thank you for the quick delivery.

My daughter loves her new salt water sandals!
