Great sandals but they do not run large! I ordered them a size smaller than my daughter normally wears, based on other reviews, and they just fit. I would suggest ordering them in your child's regular size or possibly even a size up to have room to grow. They're great quality, very pretty and my daughter loved how comfortable they were. Not to mention they double as water shoes and clean up very well, even in white. We'll be ordering them again this year.

These are perfect summer shoes for my toddler. I'll be ordering them in the next size up so we are never without them. She is super comfortable and they seem to stay clean and white unlike her previous white shoes. They go with everything - I'm a very happy mom.

Amazing shoe. Lasted the entire season, the sandal was perfect shoe from beaches, to pools, parks. The leather was soft on her foot she never had any issues with sizing or "breaking" in her shoes.

These are the best shoes! My daughter wore them all summer. We love in a warm climate so I already got her two new pairs for fall! They fit true to size. I've held them up to all her other shoes and they are definitely true, not big like everyone is saying. I ordered a size down just in case and had to return them.

The regular "old school" type of Salt Water Sandals are far too flat for my daughter to fit her feet into. She has high arches and has a problem with shoes being too tight over the top of her foot. These sandals however, fit her perfectly because of the buckles. I think they are even cuter in person and they still have a bit of that old fashioned look like the original S.W.S. She is just starting to wear a size 12 in shoes but I ordered an 11 in these and she'll be able to wear them for a long time. I would recommend ordering a size smaller.

My girls love these sandals! For days at the pool or beach and also with sundresses. The sandals do awesome in water too. Zappos was also great with returns and exchanges when I first ordered them a size too big.

Soft leather, so it's easy to break in. Comfortable design. We purchased a pair last year for our daughter and they held up great in sand, surf, and city living. Purchased another pair this summer. Definitely recommend. Order a size down. Our daughter is a 13, but we ordered a 12 based on other customers suggestions. Definitely at least a half size difference.

These are the best sandals! They look great, they're comfortable and the best part completely waterproof! My daughter goes straight in the sprinkler with them - so convenient and so well priced!

Best "little girl" sandals out there. My granddaughter is 7 and we want her to look like a 7 yr old and not 12. They are comfortable, cute and sturdy. Love them.

So cute and well made. Straps are easy to manage. My 18 month old loves them. Always gets complimented on them. Although I do not use them as water shoes, they do not get ruined it the get wet.

My daughters love Hoy Salt Water sandals -- they run large, however, so I would advise ordering a half-size smaller than usual.

Having grown up wearing these sandals on the beaches of the Pacific Northwest, I was delighted to rediscover these for my young daughter. Improvements have been made to comfort and style without sacrificing the sandal's durability and functionality. Definitely a worthy addition to one's shoe collection.

Love these sandals! They go with everything and are so comfortable -- my kids have worn them every day since we got them. Their feet are a little on the wider side, and having buckles at the front was perfect in sizing them. The shoes run a little big -- my oldest measures slightly larger than a 13, and the 12s fit her perfectly; my youngest is an 11 and she wears a 10 in this shoe.

Adorable, comfortable, supportive, tough little shoes. I seriously could not ask for more. I understand the comment about the long toe section, but personally I like this. My little girl is really active, and I like that there is a little buffer to protect her toes. I do think these run about 1/2 size big, but the buckles are so adjustable that they fit well even when they are big.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these sandals. My little one calls them her "princess" shoes. They are well made and the fit is adjustable. I like that they have a thick sole. It's not padded but looks more comfy than some cheapo sandals with a flat foot bed. I have not tried to wash them or fully immerse them in water, but we have washed them off with some soap and water and they still look great.

A great summer sandal. It fits narrow feet perfectly as it adjusts at the ankle at the forefoot. Sole is nice and flexible. Easy to clean and a perfect fit (it does run large in my opinion).

I bought these for my 7 year old. These are my favorite summer sandal; they are so versatile and can be dressed up and down. They go everywhere from the beach to play to church. They are so easy to care for--just wipe clean or hand wash with mild soap and water. They come out looking like new again with a great worn look. They out-last my daughter. I buy them big enough to wear them for two seasons. These are the best.

We are on our 5th pair of these cute little sandals. I don't know what we will do when she outgrows them! They are the only pair of sandals my daughter wears. We have also found that they last and are easy to resale. They run a tiny bit long which works for me. Lots of colors. We used them for both the ring bearer and flower girls in 2 weddings last summer. Thanks!

Salt Water sandals are by far one of the best especially for young children. They are cute with exceptional quality. We have been buying Salt Water sandales for 8+ years and are always happy.

These shoes are made very well! The leather is soft and the soles quite playable for a toddlers growing feet. The size was accurate. I would most definitely buy from this shoe manufacturer again.

These sandals are very cute, comfortable, and sturdy. I got a similar pair (same brand) for my daughter (now 5) last year and she wore them everywhere - the pool, the park, the beach - and they lasted all summer. This pair looks great and so far is holding up great. She loves the little hearts, and I think doing the buckles is good for her

I love these sandals. I've had them for both my son and daughter. The yellow pair are so cheery and go with everything she wears...casual and dressy. I also love knowing they will not be ruined if she walks through a puddle or sprinkler, because she's 5 and it's Summer and these things happen!
