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

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.

I've been buying these for my kids for years now. I was jealous of the how cute they were and wanted a pair of sandals to wear that would be okay around water. I have a wide foot. Size 9 (for sandals) women shoe. The sizing reviews I've seen for these is chaotic at best, but the size 9 listed for women on the Zappos site fit me perfectly. I usually wear Birkenstocks (size 39), so padding and support is non existent in the Salt Water Sandals in comparison. They'll do for a fun afternoon, though.

The fit was ok and the support is good I order them a half size smaller

Great fit and comfortable

Love love love these retro sandals. I am 72 years old and when I was young these were so popular. They bring back good memories and are so darn cute!!!

I LOVE these salt water sandles ! I am 72 years old and these take me way back! Perfect fit from the time I put them on. If you need a lot of arch support these do not have that… you feel like you are going barefoot . They are so blasted cute on! Thank you ZAPPOS!

Sandals for a little kid. Not too easy to put on, but he can. Great color - mustard more like ochre ( Pantone 130). He likes them.

Top of shoe is low...tight across top. But very nice leather sandals.

Great wearing sandal - my granddaughter's #1 choice for 3 years in a row.

My daughter has been wearing Salt Water since she was a toddler. She now wears the adult size and can’t wait for summer so she can live in them. Durable, comfy, and so beautiful. Goes with every outfit.

my daughter loves these~ the shiny finish made them perfect for a wedding, then everyday wear

They fit perfect. I got matching ones for myself and my granddaughter. They are very comfortable and form to your feet. Very happy with them.

Absolutely love this sandals, had them as a kid and very happy to have them now as an adult!

Worn these for years and years. Still love them

I love Salt Water Sandals; I have several pairs of this and the slip-on styles. I’m glad I was finally able to get these in tan. It’s taken two years! I have a wide foot and though my size is 6.5, I get these in a 7 and they work fine for me with a little breaking in. These are not walking shoes nor are they very supportive but they’re fine for stop-and-go around town.

Best sandals for kids, and now that my daughter is a teen she still loves it. Very comfortable, and durable as well. Order one size up (ex: if your kid wears a 3, order a 4).

Relatively comfortable. They fit snuggly to my narrow ankles and adjust nicely.

Basic desgin but also pretty and stylish. Well goes with jeans, slacks and skirt.

Love these shoes especially because they're waterproof!

I ordered these at the request of a friend. She loves them.

Definitely NOT the same sizing as my other Salt Water Sandals. My other shoes are size 8 (womens). I ordered that size in these shoes and they are way too small. Trying one size up, because if it doesn't work, I can just return them all together and look for them elsewhere. I have patent pink and a red pair. Been looking for navy sandals for a while. These are the ONLY ones I can find. May or may not keep them, but I would at least like to try.
