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

Love!

These are super cute! They fit true to size! I am an 8.5 and bought the 9 and they are perfect! So excited to match my little girl!

Love these! Once you break them in, they fit like a glove and this color is perfect with everything! Fit true to size. I now want to get them in more colors!!

I'm THRILLED that these are water sandals. They don't look like traditional water sandals, they look more like fashion sandals. I have a habit of getting all dressed for work, then going outside to water my plants. I have ruined other sandals like this. With my Salt Water sandals, water just makes them more comfortable. I LOVE the mustard color. Thinking about getting some more in another color.

I loved these shoes. I typically wear a size in women's so that was the size I ordered and they were too small. I returned them for the next size up.

I purchased this original sandal and the retro for my daughter. They fit true to size. The rose gold is a beautiful color. My daughter liked these, but she thought the twist at the top might bother her after wearing them for some time. I think they would have been okay after softening up (and the leather on these will soften), but she was worried it wouldn't. We kept the retro style in the same color. TIP: Be sure to follow the directions on the box before trying them on. It makes a big difference in how they feel on the foot.

Love these sandals!! I purchased these and a size 10 in toddler for my 3 year old daughter. Saltwater sandals have always been a summer staple for our daughter but this pair is the first I’ve personally owned in the adult size. They are super cute and look amazing on. We purchased the white pair. Follow the instructions on the inside of the box lid before putting the sandals on. This will help with putting them on the first time. I’m going to buy every color now for myself and daughter.

I’m a half size so I went down instead up and they’re perfect... comfortable and classic sandals

Very simple well made sandals with and an ankle strap. Feel really secure on. Wish they had a larger size options but was happy that the size 11 fit me great.

I loved these shoes the minute I saw them on someone else at the park, I had to have them! It took a long time before I finally found them here on Zappos. Then I procrasted because I was worried about the sizing! Each size indicates both a “Big kids” size and an equivalent women’s size! I wear an 11 and in most closed toes I need 11.5! But I braved it and ordered them! I am thrilled to say they fit me perfectly and I love love them. My daughter, who wears the same size, loved them too. I got her a pair in Navy.

I love these sandals and am so happy to have rediscovered them as an adult! They are very comfortable and I love that I can wear them in and out of the water. I also really like that they are made in America. The only sizing issue to consider is that they run about a half size large. I would definitely recommend these sandals.

I had these as a kid & they’re still amazing. so cute, comfy, & easy to wear. also a great travel shoe because they pack well.

I love them!! I thought they were tight when I first put them on, but I got them a little wet and walked around and they felt great!

I’m happy with my purchase. I am a size 7.5 & 8 in sneakers & boots. I went the Big Kid size 6/Women’s 8. I chose based off of others reviews. Cant wait for some good weather to wear these pretties! Definitely want to order more colors:) Thank you Zappos!!

These are the best sandals I've ever owned. I wore them nearly every day this summer. They are second in comfort only to my hiking sandals. Do not delay, get these shoes. The sizing is super strange. I ordered the "Big Kids Size 6" and it fits my 7.5 size foot.

I wear between a 10 and an 11, depending upon the shoe. In these, the 10 fit snug, but it works. The 11 was definitely too long and too wide.

These are my favorite shoes of all time. I have the red and the black— have been wearing them for years! They’re comfortable, cute, last a long time, fit great, and have gotten wet and recovered a million times.

Im not sure what all the confusion and issues with sizing is on these shoes. It's pretty black and white on here- zappos did all the work and converted the sizing for you. I wear a U.S. 8.5/9 and ordered a 9- which is a 7-since I have wide feet. They fit perfect. They are seriously the most comfortable shoes ever and the leather straps aren't too stiff nor do they cut in anywhere. I got these to wear as my everyday summer sandal that will be comfortable to wear and walk everywhere- a hard combo to find when you have wide feet! Love them!

Last summer my cousin's girlfriend wore these at the beach and I knew I had to have them. I am a 7 1/2 and I usually size down for sandals and clogs that only run in whole sizes, but size up for boots in the winter so I can wear thicker socks. I have a foot that is a bit wide with short toes, more comfortable in Reebok than Nike, and if a style of shoe offers both medium and wide, I always try on the wide - half the time I will end up buying a wider width if available. I had to return the 5/7 I originally ordered (as most people recommend for a 7 1/2) because my heel hung slightly off the back and even though the leather felt as though it would stretch, the width of the sole across the ball of my foot was snug. I just got the replacement pair of 6/8 today. I was afraid there might be too much empty space at the toe, since my toes are short, but the fit is perfect. My heel sits just right and there is just enough room in the width to be a bit loose but not "too big" loose. If you are a narrow 7 1/2, the 5/7 may be OK, but if you are medium width or slightly wider at the ball of the foot, get the 6/8. I love these and may have to get them in red and navy, too.

I was so excited to find out that Salt Water Sandals I wore as a child come in adult sizes! I read other reviews and really did my homework on the sizing. I was also concerned about comfort due to plantar fasciitis but reviews were positive as far as that was concerned. The sizing was spot on for me, I wear a size 7. As far as comfort so far so good. I live in a state where it is still too cold to wear them outside so I have been testing them in the house. I can occasionally wear some shoes with no arch support all day and have no pain and luckily this was a brand that worked for me. As with any leather shoe wearing them over time will give you that perfect fit.

I loved wearing these as a kid, but they have not been available in stores for some years. I did a quick search and sure enough I found them here. I found them to be true to size and still just as comfortable as ever.

I've worn saltwaters every summer since I can remember. The last pair I bought lasted 7 years of near constant wear. If only more retailers carried adult sizes.

So disappointed, I have brown ones in the same exact size and the red ones are actually smaller. Sizing is inconsistent.

Very small for a nine. I really needed to get a wider show. Really like style and color.

Not great for gravel walking. Scuffs up the soles easily.
