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

I’m in love with these! Perfect for summer.. all things summer. So many compliments.

I have been searching for salt water for years and I finally found them,They fit snug when you first put them on but if you soak them in water for 30 mins an wear them till they dry they mold into your feet and fit perfectly I will be ordering more colors

These sandals used to run big, now appear tts. I wore these for many years before they broke and I immediately ordered a replacement pair as they’re my favorites. I am a 9. My previous pair was a kid 6/women 8 so that’s what I reordered, and they are considerably smaller. Sending them back and getting my usual size 9 (kid 7).

I adore these, as I do all my Salties! Note that the leather on the mustard ones is a bit stiffer. Also, on my other Original pairs (red, black, navy & tan), I hook my sandal on the 4th hole. On these, I hook them on the 3rd hole. Love, love, love the color & beyond thrilled to add them to my collection.

I put these on for the first time about 6 hours ago and thought they’d be uncomfortable or blister me, and with a combo of walking sitting and standing, I’ve found they are incredibly comfortable, no blisters! They do squeak but I don’t care! May need to get some other colors :-) Went with others’ guidance stating to size up if you tend to be between sizes. I’m typically a women’s size 9.5 and ordered a 10. There’s a bit of room at the front and back when I’m not standing up, but they feel perfect, size wise. First photo is me sitting, second is standing. Love these!

Wonderful, comfortable and durable sandal that practically goes with everything. You will not be disappointed! Each of my children have worn them for years and now I have finally caught on!

I love these sandals! I have narrow feet, but in these sandals it doesn’t matter what width you have. And although there is no arch support, I can wear them all day. My only complaint is that in the youth/adult sizes, the colors are very limited. I’d really like a pair in a tan color, but c’est la vie.

These shoes are so cute and I find myself wanting to wear them all the time! Others think so, too, I get lots of compliments. They are not that comfortable if you are on a hard surface because they offer no support, but if you are on grass or sand, they are very comfortable.

Sturdy Sandal For Little Feet - I brought these sandals for my granddaughter and they look so nice and fit true to size and she loves them. The service from Zappos was wonderful as always and were at my doorstep the next day. Thank you so much for the excellent service. Sincerely, Ellie

Perfect sandals - I've been wearing Salt Waters for 20 years (along with my kids). I particularly like wearing them for work (I'm on my feet all day), and they are comfy from the minute I put them on.

Oh Boy - He Loved Them - My son wore the white Salt Water Sandal in a wedding in Mexico. We were concerned that they looked too girly. He was hesitant to put them on. However, once we added them to his custom made outfit, he fell in love with them. This eight year old played hard in these shoes. They were great. He reminded me numerous times that they were really comfortable. Thanks!

A lovely shoe. I used to wear these sandals exclusively when I was a child. They’re probably not very good for your feet (they are very flat and stiff, at least at first), but they're perfect if you strive to find a simple shoe. They go with anything, and have a classic, youthful look. The sizing was a bit of a headache for me. All the comments told me differing things as far as which size I should pick. I was kind of shooting in the dark, but I got it right. I’m a large seven and a half, sometimes 8, and I picked the youth 6, which I believe fits like and 8. It also says w/8 on the bottom.

THE BEST SANDAL EVER - I'm 26 and I have had a pair of these every year of my life. In the summer they are just about the only shoes I wear. They are the only ones that fit my wide feet.

A great shoe... Nice shoe. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter without her knowing about it and she loved them. They do seem to run a bit large, so I am going to keep hers for my use and buy a size smaller for her.

comfort, great price - My daughter loves the shoes. She is 10. Great for dressing up or down. She can run and play in them. We haven't tried them in the water yet, but I'm sure that is coming. I really recommend these sandals.

Salt-Water Sandals for Adults too..... Love these sandals as a kid and Still wear them Today I wear a mens 9 and the 9 Youth fits great. Love These sandals and People always ask me where I got them, they said they used to wear them as a kid too. Guys too the really start up conversations. Zappos rocks.

The shoe that fits - I love this shoe I just wish they make more in my size, I am 18 years-old and I love to wear them.

Nostalgic - Still Great - I had a new pair of Salt-Water sandals every year when growing up. I loved wearing shoes into the ocean. It is wonderful that they are making them still and in adult sizes as well (although they are marked as "youth" sizes). They run 1-2 sizes (for women) larger than marked, but are still fabulous.

Loved this shoe!! I was so happy to find these for my daughter. They are the perfect sandal to wear with everything.

So Happy to Find These - I was so excited when I discovered that Zappos carried these salt-water sandals. I remember wearing them as a little girl and desperately wanted a pair, but I couldn't find them anywhere. Thank goodness for Zappos. The sizing is sort of funny. I normally wear a womens 7 or 7.5 and I purchased a youth size 5 (which actually says womens 7 on the box) and they fit perfectly.

BEAUtiFUL SANdALS - When I first ordered for saltwaters, I didn't get the word "youth." I thought that meant nothing, so I went ahead and bought my regular size, which is a 6. so I bought a 6 YOUTH. When I got my order, it turned out to be a 8 in WOMENS! Too big for me. I was disappointed to NOT get to wear my new sandals. So I returnd them and got a small size .. a 4! I still LOVE salt waters and planning to get more.

Only from zappos - As always the fastest delivery ever!!!! Not even the hoy company itself knew these were for adults too. I wear a 9 so I purchased a youth 7 and they fit perfect. Thanks Zappos.

the original saltwater sandal - I've been wearing these sandals since I was a kid; I'd get a new pair of bright red ones every summer. I love these sandals, and I've had a hard time finding them in stores since I moved to the East Coast. So I was very excited to discover them here. The sizing is a bit odd; I wear a 7 usually and order a 4 in Saltwater sizes. They're not suited for extended all-day walking, as the soles aren't at all cushioned, but they're very comfortable for a regular work day. I've had many compliments on their appearance. And they're an excellent value for money, as they are practically indestructable.

from small child to senior citizen - I got my first pair of original saltwater sandles 42 years ago. This type of sandal is my favourite of all time. I will continue to own them for the rest of my life.
