Customer Reviews Salt Water Sandal by Hoy Shoes The Original Sandal (Big Kid/Adult)

I really love these shoes! I must admit that I had a pair when I was a kid, so when I saw they had these for adults, I has to get a pair. I wear an 8.5, so I was afraid the woman's 8 would be too small, at first it was snug but as the packaging points out, it should fit that way and not be oversized. They conform to the foot after a day of wear, and now they are one of the most comfortable shoes I have. The only problem is that I have not been able to order the brown because it keeps selling out right away in my size.

I bought the red and they're adorable. I normally wear a 9 or 9.5 and in these sandals my toes were right at the edge of the sandal. My daughter wears an 8 or 8.5 so I had her try them on and they fit her perfectly. I've just reordered them for myself in a 10 and I can't wait for them to get here!

I am an adult and I bought a pair because they look so darn cute. Well, they are moderately comfortable (I usually wear Birkenstocks) and they visually widen the foot. Really, this is not a sophisticated choice for an adult. I should know better.

Do not buy these if your child has wide feet or a high arched foot. My wide-footed daughter cannot fit her foot into the front strap area (and the shoe would still be too long) - she usually wears a 10.5 and I ordered a 10. My little girl with a high arch wears a 7.5 normally and the size 7 can just barely fit the top of her foot, but her toes don't reach past the front straps. She loves the shiny pink fuchsia though and I'm letting her wear them to hopefully stretch them out a bit prior to Easter. They are darling and nostalgic, I just wish the fit were different. Stride Rite has great options for feet like theirs.

I love these sandals! I was looking for a simple, gold sandal for the summer and these are perfect. One word of warning - they are a little uncomfortable during the first couple of wears - the stitching on the inside of the shoe was rubbing the bottom of my feet - but if you continue to get them wet (as directed) and wear them, they break in really nicely.

Comfortable and slightly big. I normally wear a 7.5 and these fit! So go up a size if you are normally a half size! Bought them in Black too! The black were more stretched out, they felt wider than the red.

I love these shoes. Loved them in brown/tan -- they've lasted forever. I'd been eyeing yellow shoes but being a full-time mom, it's hard to sport yellow wedge platforms at the park. These are the perfect way to adopt this this trend and get a shoe I can wear all summer. Remember that they start snug, follow the instructions to properly place the straps and they will form to your feet.

I bought these for myself and my toddler in the red. The adult sizes run pretty true. I typically wear a 6.5-7 and I got the Youth 5/Women's 7 in the red. They fit well and we're comfortable. The ankle strap is a little tight at first but it gives quickly. The red is a nice deep color, I love it. I'll likely be ordering matching pairs of these for my daughter and myself every year until we have all the colors, I really do love this flat sandal.

I love these sandals. They fit true to size and move well with my foot. I'll wear these all summer long. The silver color goes with everything.

I love these! I am already planning on getting the red ones. It feels like it's part of me when I walk. I dress it up or down. I can wear it anywhere. My friends and family have complimented on how cute that it was gold.

Really liked the shoe. Unfortunately too gold for me (size 11). Fit nicely, very secure feeling (vs. my treasured rainbow flip flops) wish Zappos had a brown or navy or red.

There is nothing bad to say about these adorable shoes. They are as popular among little girls and big. Leather is the key to their longevity and this is actually not my first pair.

Love these shoes! Fit great! Always fit a little better after worn a couple times, a little tight at first. Of course, I love the shiny purple!

I love my saltwater sandals as much as I did when I was a kid. They look cute with everything. The color is so fun it brightens up any outfit.

Great, classic sandal. Very comfortable from the first day and it’s great that they can wear them in the water without damaging them, too! Worth the money! They tend to run on the larger size rather than smaller.

Very pleased - We got these for my 9 year old daughter who has a hard time finding the right shoe. She needed something for the summer that would endure summertime, and was age appropriate (very hard to do these days), and could also look sweet for church. Also, her feet are wide and these fit just right. She also liked the strap at the heel to keep them on while she was running down the block. And they came in hot pink - what else could a girl want?

Great Sandals! Review by an 11 year old: This is a pretty sandal. It is also good for those with wide feet. They are good to play in. I recommend this sandal to other people.

A classic in a new role - My daughter and two other girls wore the shimmery light pink Salt-Water sandals as part of their junior bridesmaid outfits in a relative's wedding. I grew up wearing Salt-Waters and wouldn't have thought of them with a formal dress, but they were lovely! And of course, they were completely comfortable. Now, my daughter can wear the sandals to play for the rest of the summer. Zappos was the only place I could find her size in the right color--thank you!

I love these shoes! They were tight at first, but following directions I found online, I got them wet, and wore them until they dried and now they fit perfectly! They are a bit flat, but I expected them to be.

Great easy summer sandal. Not suitable for very narrow feet, but a good value and charming colors and old fashioned styling. Love.

Really cute but runs small. I understand this sandals is supposed to fit like a glove but cutting off circulation is a bit much. I ordered the Youth 7/ woman's 9 because all the other reviews said this shoe was wide -- it's not -- and this was way too small. They went back.

Stretches wider than I would have liked. Does not have any arch support. Cleans up well and great for sand, pool, etc. Youth/Adult 7 is a Women's size 9.

I got the yellow ones - super cute in the box but not so cute on my feet! The length was just right, but too wide even for my fat feet! I really wanted to like them, but I'm sending them back. Also, the sole is absolutely flat, so don't expect any arch support.

Good Stuff - The shoe is really comfortable, I didn't have to break them in.
