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

I love these Saltwaters so much and posted a nice review a couple of days ago, but want to share a word of caution...Do Not use baby wipes to clean these! While at the farmers market a child spilled his juice and it splattered all over me. I used a few baby wet wipes to clean myself up and the wipes dulled the finish on my rose gold sandals. I’ve only had them a week so this makes me very sad. I think plain water is probably best for any cleaning.

These are the shoes you remember! Follow the fitting instructions to loosen up the forefoot and they will break in with wear. These shoes do NOT have cushy soles; they are designed for the beach and water use. I love them but don't "pound the pavement" in them.

Love these sandals! I looked all over for a casual, comfortable white sandal, and couldn't find anything. I kept thinking about saltwater sandals, but couldn't find them in any store. Of course, found them on Zappos! I found them to be true to size - I usually wear a Womens 8, and that's what I ordered (Kids 6). They fit perfectly, and were totally comfortable from the first moment I put them on. No rubbing or blisters, which is HIGHLY unusual for me. I might have to order another pair!

A childhood classic and thrilled they come in adult sizes. Super cute and love the rose gold color. Although there’s no arch support they are still very comfy. I get compliments every time I wear them.

I’m so glad I got my hands on a pair of these, I had been trying to get them for weeks. They’re super adorable sandals that felt amazing since day 1, but again these are just sandals so I wouldn’t consider doing any long distance walking in them. The width is just a tad too big but it’s honestly not a huge a deal. I’ve had them for over a week and worn them almost everyday and they’ve molded quite nicely.

I have big, wide feet, and I ordered the Women's 10 (Big kid 8). They are slightly stiff at first, but conform to your feet almost instantly. Even having wide feet, they fit well and continually stretch as you wear them. The leather is gorgeous, and for having no arch support whatsoever, they are very, very comfortable, although I don't think walking in them longer distances is a good idea. I was hesitant to buy them since my feet are wide, but they work and I'm really happy with them. Really cute, and such a good price point! Ordering more. For wide width people - the footbed is wide enough that your foot doesn't really hang off the side. I wouldn't recommend these for people with extra wide feet, though.

I had purchased this sandals in 2 colors so far (Black, White) so I can mix and match it with my wardrobe. So far so good. I love them Saltwater Sandals!

Foot is a 7 wide. Got the Women size 8. Exactly fits. Love them because they are leather and don’t need to break them in.

I bought these for my Granddaughter. She loves them. Its very hard to find sandals she can wear and these fit perfectly.

Love this shoe! Came super fast. Felt a little slim at first, (I wear an 8/ordered a women’s 8) but once I was wearing it, it wasn’t tight at all. So comfy! Wore it walking around for 13+ hours the first day and no blisters. Awesome sandal, love the navy color!! Already ordered one in tan as well!

Nice soft gold color. Sandal is stiff at first but breaks in quickly.

Love Saltwater sandals! These are my 3rd pair and the rose gold is better than all the ones I've had. They are super cute and very comfy. They're not meant for people who need or expect a cushiony memory insole. They're easy to clean and wear and go with everything! I also have wide feet and these expand with a few wears to your foot shape.

I love these sandals. Super comfortable right out of the box, no uncomfortable rubbing or blisters. I would totally buy them in more colors. I got red. I wear a 6 or 6 and a half and got the kid 4/Big kid 6 and they fit perfectly. My foot is a little wide side but these fit great, no sides of the foot falling off the edge or anything.

I really like my new red Salt Water sandals, they are exactly what I was looking for and exactly what you'd expect based on photos and description. I was looking for a comfortable and practical yet cute sandal (ie. not a sport sandal, but rather something that can go with a dress or a skirt) to wear around town that could handle a little summer rain if need be. Mine were soft and comfortable right out of the box and did not take any breaking in. As expected, they are completely flat, no arch support or padding, so I won't use them for long walks, but they are very comfortable for short distance walking or biking. I'm a solid US size 8 so I confidently ordered the Big Kid size 6, but had to exchange for Big Kid size 7 because they were too small (my heel stuck just a tiny bit past the footbed's edge, and the front straps were tight). The size 7 is probably a touch too long and the front straps are now rather loose, but I'm happy with my decision to size up. These could definitely use half sizes option, as based on the reviews following the current size chart does not guarantee a good fit for all.

So cute! These will definitely be my go to summer sandals.

These sandals are adorable and comfortable! The front looks a little wide for my narrow foot but it doesn’t impact the comfort. I might have to get these in every color.

Great

Make sure to follow the sizing chart! I wear a women’s 7.5 and ordered a size 5 in Big Kid. They fit perfect. I’ve worn them everyday for the past two weeks. No blisters and no achy feet. The heel straps keep my feet super secure. I bought on a whim after seeing a recommendation in a Facebook group from a stranger, and I seriously want to buy every color.

Great item. My wife loved these sandals. I gave them to her as a gift. They are a little narrow but she still fits them.

My wife loved them! Very happy with the purchase.

I have almost purchased these probably 100 times and finally did. Solid decision! I love them. Wore them around the house to break them in before taking them for a spin in the real world. Will definitely buy again! In case it helps anyone with sizing: I wear an 8.5 in most shoes but can get by with an 8 if they aren't too narrow. In euro sizing I usually go for a 39, even in narrower shoes if they're leather. I ordered my Salt Waters in Big Kid 7/Women 9. I would not call them a wide shoe but they lean wide, if that makes sense. Length and ankle straps are perfect.

If you are a half size order up! These are comfy and cute.

Love everything about these!

I ordered these in gold, but didn’t like how they looked in person. I exchanged for black and love them. Zappos made the exchange so fast and easy. I was promised two day shipping on the exchange, but received them the next day. I’ve has a pair of these in another color for 2 years and they’re still in great shape. I love that they can get wet too. I wear size 7.5 and the big kid 5/size 7 just fits. I’d tried the size 8 in a store and they were too big.
