Very flat sole but comfortable for me. I'm a true 8.5 women's and in these I needed a 7. Cute with jeans and skirts. Have the black and brown and they go with everything. You can go in the ocean or hose off outside no problem. Great sandal.

I wore these as a kid and buy them for all my girls so I took a chance and got some for myself. Despite having no arch support, they are very comfortable and I can walk a couple miles in them with no problems. I prefer leather shoes and these were an awesome value/ looking forward to using these the next few summers!

These are the BEST sandals! I looked for the right pair of sandals for years & these are the best! I can walk all day long in them & have no blisters or hot spots. When I first got them I soaked them in water then wore them around the house all day & they have been perfect. You really can wear them in the water too. Fashionable, functional, reasonably priced, & they've held up nicely so far. The BEST!

These are a flat flexible sole foot forming very comfortable all leather sandal. I wear an 8 US women's; the 6 Saltwater fit comfortably.

If you need arch support these sandals are not for you. If you need shock absorption, ditto. If your feet tend to run slightly wide (as mine do) you may like these. I typically run between a 7.5 and 8 in US women's shoe sizes. In these sandals I purchased the Big Kid size 6/Women's 8. There is a tiny amount of extra space at the front for me (a few millimeters), but it does not prohibit walking and when I've outright asked others if it appeared noticeable the answer was always no. The best point: these sandals are DURABLE. I tear through shoes at a very fast rate and it is only now, into year three, that they are beginning to show wear. I live in a place that is sandals weather 8 months of the year and I walk 3-5 miles per day. To date, the leather has not frayed and other than having shaped to my foot (another bonus, in my opinion) there has been no stretching. I purchased the red sandals and the color is still vibrant and I receive compliments regularly about how cute they appear. As advertised, the buckles are in the same condition as the day I bought these. I've worn them in saltwater, freshwater, through mud and various other conditions. The wear I mentioned is on the bottom of the sandal where, after extensive mileage, you can just now begin to see wear marks on the soles. These have been an excellent purchase and I sincerely hope the company continues its high standards for craftsmanship. I am about to purchase my next pair.

Love these basic summer sandals. I recommend that 1/2 sizes order up one size. I have found over the years that the fit of the width in the toe area can vary slightly from pair to pair. While these aren't softly padded sandals, they are very comfortable for regular wear and are very durable. Perfect for beach vacations (obviously). My kids wore them when they were little and I have worn them my whole life. Love them!

Super great adult sandals at a excellent price for leather! Retro style, reminds me of being a little girl. So comfortable, although a memory foam pad would add a lot here.

Okay, I really didn't believe all the reviews about how comfortable these are. They're a flat soled sandal with no arch support... but somehow they're super comfy even when wearing them all day! What is this black magic!
My feet are also a little on the wide side of normal, but these fit great.

These are great sandals, I am a size 8 and the size 6 youth/women's 8 had my toe almost hanging off, my mother is a 7.5 and they fit her perfectly. I ordered another pair in size 7 youth/ women's 9 and they fit me perfectly!
Zappos is amazing, the first pair I received had a defect and they immediately sent another pair, cannot say enough about how great the customer service is!

My daughter is nine this is probably our fourth or fifth pair of salt water sandals. When she was little I buy the big and get two seasons out of them. She loves them wears them all day straight out of the box super comfortable hold up so well through summer and then some. She even more than one day Disneyland and never complained about her feet hurting. Love that they now make them in women's sizes my poor daughter has very large feet for a nine-year-old and it still makes her feel like a little girl

Overall comfortable cute sandals. A little funky on the toe part. It's a bit wide. But extremely comfortable. I suggest a size down. I ordered a half size bigger and wished I ordered the half size smaller.

I love these sandals. They feel true to size, they do stretch out a bit but not enough that they are too loose. They are the cutest things to have ever been bought.

I got these because the Swimmers from Salt Water Sandals are not made for Big Kids. I had to get size 5 which is kind of huge, but size 4 was too narrow, that's why I had to size up to get the width to fit good.
The soles are too flat for kids footwear. They hold up good. Kids say they are comfortable for them. UMI are more comfortable as far as soles and arch support though.
Price is pretty good. It is not genuine leather, it is reconstructed leather.

Hello there! I bought this sandal because I've read somewhere they are comfortable footwear and truly they are. Bought one also for my goddaughter. It's good for daily sandal but better than just wearing flip flops. So sizing gets tricky. I wear a size 7.5 on most footwear except boots where I always size a half size up for extra room for thicker socks. With this I bought the adult size 8, big kid 6 and it fits me perfect! My feet is not skinny nor very wide but I opted to size up to have some allowance and yes I am glad I did! I can't wait to wear this more often during summer!

I love these sandals! I bought two pairs last year (black and tan) and wore them to work everyday all summer long and for most of the fall. I just started wearing them again now that spring is on the horizon and they look just as good as the day I bought them. The only place they show any sign of wear is on the bottom of the sole, which is pretty normal in my opinion. The top of the footbed, straps, and buckles all look brand new! I wore them yesterday to run errands and received so many compliments! These sandals are fantastically durable and worth every penny given their longevity. I only wish they came in more colors. They're definitely a summer wardrobe staple.

Great sandals however I'll be needing to go a size up. Ordered a youth 6/ women's 8 (I'm a true 8) and although they were on, my foot was almost hanging over edge!

These are great they don't offer support but they are still cute and pretty comfortable for how flat and hard the soles are. The leather is so soft and flexible to form to your foot. I wore them without a problem the first day. Will be ordering more. Love them.

Super cute sandals. The turquoise is actually shiny. It's a bit hard to tell from the picture. I would prefer a non-shiny version, but these are still super cute and I'll be keeping them. They also felt a little narrow, but there are instructions on how to fit them to your foot.

I ordered these after I ordered a pair for my daughter. These were staple in the summer for me. I paired it with ripped shorts and a flannel and it was perfect! Love theme
I ordered a big kid size 4 because I'm normally a size 6.5 and they fit perfectly.

Love these shoes! I'm a sz 7.5-8 in woman's shoes so I wear a sz 5 W7. The sz on the bottom of the sandal is a 5 if that helps. But smaller if they feel big bc they definitely stretched.

I LOVE these shoes! Even though they have no arch support and a thin and flat sole, they are extremely comfortable. The width is perfect for my very wide "duck-foot". I love the retro feel they have. A winner!
