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

Love salt waters because the leather is water proof and they are so durable. Can be handed down many times.

I love them and get many compliments on them! I don’t like a lot of arch support so these were perfect and I was thrilled to find a navy sandal.

This is my third pair of Salt Waters. I love them!! I have no arches so I find that I have to go up a full size. Salt Waters hold up so well, they are so comfortable, and they get better with wear.

The most amazing sandals!! Well made!! Like the fit!!

I love these salt water sandals. The fit comfortably and feel great! I didn’t even have to wear them in! I also love having a Black pair!!!

I love this product and have several pairs in storage. I wanted a couple of new pairs and I 1st they sent the wrong size 2nd the 10s I used to fit into I couldn't get my foot into & 3rd pair size 11 weren't wide enough. I have now given up on buying these cute sandles.

Ordered my usual size and the fit was good. Very comfortable in spite of having no arch support. SO cute on your feet !

Classic salt water sandal never goes out of style! My daughter just outgrew her last pair which was a size 3. We got a size 4. She’s a 4.5 in big kids in most other shoes she wears. For reference she’s an average sized (height/weight) 4th grader. We can usually get two summers out of a pair. They fit great/roomy even. Will def buy again when it’s time!

I love these!! This is my second pair- I have mustard yellow and now navy. They’re true to size for me- I’m a 9 and I ordered a women’s 9. My mom is an 8 1/2, she also wears a 9 in these. The leather does give, so if they’re a little snug, you may want to wear them for a bit first. My feet are on the wider side, and these are perfect!

I had to dampen and wear sandals as suggested by manufacturers. They now feel great and make me remember how much I loved the saltwater sandalsI had years ago. Loved them then, love them now!

The fit and size is true to width. Great buy.

Big kids size 6 is a perfect fit if you wear a women's size 8.

I wear a women's 8.5 shoe. In the Salt Water Sandal, I wear a 6 stamped on the shoe.

Saltwater sandals are my favorite classic. The ball of my foot and across my toes is wider than average so some sandals pinch. These are surprisingly comfortable right out of the box even though they're stuff, and they just get better every time you get them wet. I'm between sizes, usually size down to 7 for sandals and up to 8 for shoes but I get these in a w8. The bed is a tiny bit long but my pinkie toe is at exactly the right spot to not get blistered. I haven't tried a 7 yet. They have no arch support, and not a lot of traction. But I can wear them all day and get them wet and sweat in them and no blisters or raw places on my feet, and they look nicer than a sport sandal. I hope they keep making these forever. I've had them in a few colors, the tan (more of a light brown) is my current wear with everything favorite.

Wore these straight out of the box all day and they were very comfortable. Not a hint of blisters. They have a comfortable roomy toe box. They are not absolute zero drop but almost (a very tiny bit higher in the heel). I didn't want arch support so very happy these don't have it. The sole is pretty flexible in the front. Also very light. I usually wear a 7-1/2 or 8 medium width and these in Adult 8 med are perfect (6 big kid). Zappos made the return of the size 7 (too small) I purchased a breeze.

These are high quality sandals that are fashionable and last FOREVER. I’m currently wearing a pair that my sister got as a gift when she was 9. It’s been over 10 years since then and I’ve been wearing them a lot (I’ve always had smaller feet). I’ve only had 2 pairs of these in my life, ones I grew out of as a kid and these ones. I wear them every summer and they still look pretty good.

I originally ordered a women's 8/kid's 6 and it was too small. I returned them for the women's 9/kid's 7 and the fit was perfect. For reference, I wear an 8.5 in shoes/sandals and I have a wide foot. The only con I would add, and this will apply to someone with wider ankles, the strap could only be fastened in the 1st hole. Otherwise, they were comfortable, and I will be ordering more colors!

Very comfortable. Wore them all day out of the box with no blisters. I wanted a flat shoe with no artificial arch support or excess cushioning. Toe box is roomy. Strap makes the shoe feel secure. The sole is flexible in the front; you can easily lift your heals. The fact that they can get wet is a big plus. I usually wear a size 7-1/2 in sandals and 8 in closed shoes. I choose size8/big kid 6 and it's perfect. I returned a size 7/big kid 5. Zappos makes returns so easy. Also shipped very quickly.

Finally bought another pair of saltwaters after my 5+ year old pair broke. These are my favorite thing for the summer! Easy to wear, matches almost every outfit. When you first try them on they might feel a little small, but the material stretches a bit to fit to your foot size--after a few hours mine fit perfect! Not super supportive but I'm not really looking for that in a casual sandal; doesn't cause any pain after wearing around all day. Usually wear a size 9, which is a size 7 "big kids."

This is my second pair of saltwater sandals they are great. I can walk always and be completely comfortable. I said they were true to width but they probably do run wide as I have wide feet and they felt comfortable.

Durable and comfortable for wide feet.

I have ALWAYS loved the Saltwater sandals for my children and grandchildren butt never even thought about them for myself. While searching online for hours to find the perfect, timeless sandal for myself when I found a Google search for women's similar to children's saltwater and discovered these for Big Kids/Women!!! I won't lie, I honestly expected them to be too narrow (like my Jack Rogers) and/or just not work in one way or another. However, they are PERFECT!!! Health related issues have left me going from 7.5 to 8.5-9 yet it varies a lot depending on the individual footwear. These in a 9 are spot on without a single pinch, rub, dig... The moment I put them on, they felt like an old friend. There'll be no annoying break-in period. And, the slight step up in the back of the footbed really seems to help with the fact these are very flat. Not so much arch support but there's an obvious difference in how these feel versus the typical flat soled flip flop. To me they have always given off a vintage Kennedy's on The Cape type of vibe. I know these Navy lovelies will be accompanying me back to The Vineyard for the rest of my summers to come! Now it's time to go and place orders for other colors and maybe even another style. And, as always, thank you Zappos for getting them to me ever so quickly!

I love these sandals– I wore my first pair for 4 years. They were pretty much the only sandals I wore in the summer, and I wore them until the stitching started to wear out and they were getting pretty gross, but they were still in tact and I probably could have worn them another season. I am now on my third pair. I always get lots of compliments on them– something about the design is just universally appealing. AND you won't have to buckle and unbuckle every time– I find that I can set the straps so that they are totally secure and comfortable on, and can be pulled on and off without having to buckle/unbuckle.

SIZE TRICK- I am a size 9. The shoe will say 8 (Big Kid 8) and will also say Womens W10. But it is a size 9. Your correct size is actually in between the two numbers. So if you’re a womens 8, get a BK7/W9. If you’re a W10, get a BK9/W11. Works every time!

A childhood favorite.
