These are great beach shoes. I love the preppy vibe of the white ones I purchased. They took a bit to break in as the stitching on the sole was bothering my heel but otherwise they're fairly comfortable. Would definitely buy another color, especially considering the price.

Bought these for my granddaughter,two pair for the summer . They run a full size too small, so do order a size up. They are the classic salt waters, always look stylish and comfortable. I do wish they would design a style with arch support

I had to order these twice, since I ordered the wrong size initially. Once I got the right fit, I have to say, I enjoy these sandals. They are easy to wear, are pretty comfortable right out of the box, and seem very sturdy; I anticipate having them for a long time.

Love the old school style and was so excited for them as I’ve been looking for cute red sandals for a while. However, these do run very small. I’m an 11 in Born, Ugg, Cole Haan, a 42 in Ecco and a 41 in Birks. With this 11, my toes were off the front slightly. Back they go...sad face...and this is the biggest they come so I’ll have to resume my search...very sad face.

Very pretty color in person for the rose gold. Came feeling stiff but broke in quickly with no irritation to my feet. I would totally buy these in other colors.

I really wanted to keep these sandals. Super cute, great price, perfect placement of straps on ankle and heel. Sadly, where the front strap connects to the sole there is a small bump that makes you feel like you are walking on a pebble. Had to return.

Cute, comfy, & chic. I do however feel it runs a bit short in length and he patent leather takes more to break it in, but over all a great shoe.

These shoes are pretty, the gold isnt too shiny. My daughter wears a 5 1/2 big kids size and the womens 7 was perfect on her. She did initially complain of the knot on top feeling uncomfortable but she she said they are better once she broke them in

The sizing is very unclear. I ordered “Big kid size 7, Women’s size 9” option, because I needed a Women’s size 9, but I got a Women’s 7.

Ridiculous sizing. So size 5 my kid still wearing is perfect, so I ordered size up and size 6 are narrower than size 5. Rose gold color was very pretty - this just gold color doesn't look pretty at all.

it's such a cute sandals! and love that I can get this wet. I usually wear size 7.5 and based on the review I got size 8 and it fits nicely. I have slightly narrow feet so this sandal feels bit wide for me, but this was fixed by adjusting the strap. I wouldn't say it's comfortable enough to walk around in the city.

I never write reviews unless there is a serious fit issue and that is certainly the case with these. I am a very reliable women's 8.5 so I ordered these in 7 big kid/women's 9 as everyone seems to say they run true to size and order up,if you're a half size. Well, they were enormous! Like clown shoes but even wider. Literally a half inch at least too wide. So I sent them back and got the 6 big kid/women's 8 and they fit great. A hair's breath too short but way better than the larger ones, and supposedly they stretch. Wearing them for the first time right now and they feel great! Can't wait to get them wet and break them in.

I wore my Salt Waters for the first time, straight out of the box, to an all-day music festival. Normally this wouldn't be a wise choice, but I figured it was the ultimate way to test the comfort of this cute little sandal! I have to say that even after wearing these for the first time ever for 6+ hours, they were pretty comfortable (my only criticism would be that they are completely flat and don't have any arch support, which can lead to sore feet when worn for long stretches of time), they look adorable with everything and they're easy to clean! I've had them for about 3 months and now they're my immediate go-to sandals for almost everything!! Overall, one of my favorite pairs of sandals I've ever owned, hands down!

Ok... so some shoes I am a 10, some a 10.5... but with these I sized up to an 11 (9) and yes... they fit me perfect. I have chubby feet and ankles and the straps were long enough to fit my ankles. :-) I am definitely happy with my purchase!!

It's hard to find cute, flat white sandals and even harder to find comfortable sandals, but these manage to be both! They were a bit stiff out of the box, but they fit well and felt better the more I wore them. They don't have any arch support, so I wouldn't wear them if I were doing a lot of walking, but they're just fine for everyday wear.

Very comfortable despite the lack of arch support. Not sure I would walk for miles in them, but for a casual day out they were great! Followed others' advice about sizing and they fit fine.

These shoes are great for the price! My only complaint is that the way the sandal is made my foot sits very far back so that my heel is almost hanging off, while my toes are have too much extra space in front. Otherwise, very cute and functional.

Looked too masculine for a woman's sandal in brown. Might have better luck in a different color/style? The shoe was definitely comfortable though and I can tell it won't cause blisters. The sizing was way off. I am a true size 7 and I am reordering in a size 5.

Right away these were digging into my feet on the inside/top of my foot. They are cute, but very uncomfortable.

These feel cheap and stiff. The sole is not flexible. These do not feel like high quality shoes.
