Customer Reviews Salt Water Sandal by Hoy Shoes Sun-San - Sweetheart (Toddler/Little Kid)

These are great classic summer sandals. They look cute with almost anything. My daughter likes them and I am working with her on the buckles (she is five and they are a little hard right now). I cannot speak to durability yet because we have only had them about three weeks, but they seem to clean up really well with a wet washcloth. She wears a 12 in all shoes, including these, so they seem true to size. Thank you for classic, well made sandals for girls!

This is my daughter's third pair of this type of sandal. We buy a pair each summer. They are super cute, totally comfortable, can be dressed up or down, and go with everything. They wear really well, too. I would definitely recommend them! Order down a full size as they run large.

Another awesome Hoy Shoe purchase and adorable. Silver color goes from sundress to water play!

We just got these in yellow, so haven't really gotten to wear them for long, but my daughter LOVES them, wanted them on right out of the box. She usually she will start complaining within minutes if they are tight, or rub, or dig, and she didn't say a peep. I also love the ability to adjust the width for a better fit. I am already considering a second pair in silver so she will have a go with anything option.

Super cute and sturdy. Would love more if they had easier buckles (ie velcro). Nice that you can adjust width at front and ankle.

These sandals are awesome! We've bought a pair for two summers in a row. The silver matches everything in my daughter's wardrobe, they are comfy, and durable to boot. Can't be beat.

I love this brand. I purchased 2 pair last summer and they lasted the whole season and still looked great when we passed them on as my 2 year old's foot outgrew them. I order this style because of the buckle that helps with fit along the forefoot. I was excited to order silver this year but a little disappointed that the silver finish started wearing immediately. Still cute and wearable but not holding up like the patent finishes. So if you are choosing a color, go with the shiny or a flat white. I already placed more orders for the upcoming summer.

We love salt water sandals. This style is better for wider feet. My 4 year old in the past wore the strap wees so I thought swimmer would be great but they are more narrow. I sent them back and got the sweetheart because of adjustable toe strap and they fit great. I ordered the strap wees for my 21 month old, who has narrow feet, and they feet great! I prefer these styles because of thicker bottom and more supportive arch than the originals. They do run a size big. I never worry about trying a new style due to Zappos awesome customer service and return policies. Always use Zappos!

Worn right out the box -- excellent traveling shoes (pool, water play, dresses and shorts, rain) since they're so versatile!

It is a challenge to find sandals that fit my two-year-old. Her feet are quite small (infant size 5), but she has a high instep. This means that most sandals with straps that goes across the foot, above the toes, simply won't go on her feet. This style is perfect because both straps are adjustable. I ordered a pair for her last spring and she wore them every day last summer, including lots of pool, beach, and sprinkler outings, and that pair still looks new. The fact that they are pretty leather, but can get wet is awesome. I thought the price was a bit much when I purchased them last year, but after seeing how durable and versatile they are, I just bought another pair for this summer. The yellow is super cute & we get tons of compliments on them. They stay on the foot and are comfortable as far as I know - at least she doesn't complain about them. The buckles don't bother us a bit - we help her with them now, and I'm sure before long she'll be doing it herself anyway. Fantastic shoe, totally worth the money. They do run a bit big, so you may want to order a size down.

I have been buying these sandals for my girls for four years. (1) They are indestructible. (2) They go with everything. (3) They are so versatile - can be worn everywhere from the beach, to the pool, to the mall, to church. (4) Classic styling. (5) My girls love them. They are worth every penny, especially if you have more than one child because you can keep passing them down and they still look great! The only issue with this particular style is they run at least a half size big, so if you are trying to decide between two sizes, go with the smaller one. You'll thank me later. And yes, there is a buckle. Get over it. Are we really so lazy that we can't help our babies get their shoes on and off? Come on!

My 2.5 year old is extremely picky when it comes to shoes. After trying lots of pairs, she is happy with these sandals. They are very cute and durable. The soles are nicely arched and the leather is soft.

I buy Salt Water sandals every year for both my girls. They are very cute, comfortable, and hold up well. My girls love them and won't wear any other sandals. We have more than 1 color.

Absolutely adorable. Love that the footbed is colored because you can't see the dirt/footmark that comes with open toed shes on kids. My daughter has very wide and thick (top to bottom) feet and these seem to soften enough that they are comfortable for her. They stay on little feet beautifully and she's very happy and comfortable running around full speed in them. It's a little hard to see in the pictures, but the heart cutouts make these look very sweet and kind of German. The only downside is that she can't put them on by herself in the way that you could if they were velcro or slip on, but it's well worth it.

Precious shoe! The leather is a little stiff, but I think it will loosen up nicely with wear. My 2 year old daughter absolutely loves them, and they are an adorable addition to any outfit.

So far, so good! This review comes only after a month of wear, but we've been very pleased with my daughter's new sandals. The red color is bright and fun, and they are, to date, the only sandals that haven't cut or irritated her delicate 2 year old skin.

Perfect little girl shoe. You know she loves them if she is constantly trying to find them to put them on to play in even though I put them up for special occasions. :)

This is my daughter's 3rd pair of sandals. I really like that there is plenty of room for chubby feet and for toes to spread out. The leather holds up - no cracking or finish coming off. Well worth the money. She wears them all summer!

This is our second pair! Almost no arch support, but otherwise great! They aren't "all day" shoes, but great for church or a few hours. Ours from last summer held up great and will get a little more wear this summer before they are too small.

I have bought a pair of these sandals for my almost 6 year old daughter for three years now, and she loves them so much they are part of our spring and summer ritual. Every year she chooses a different color. They wear like iron and yet are very soft. She has literally worn them every single day, in and out of water and dirt for five months out of the year and they have remained cute and comfortable. Each pair she has outgrown has been in good enough shape to hand down to a younger friend. The leather handles salt and fresh water easily, though the footbed can get a little slippery when wet.

Very cute comfortable shoe for my 7 yo. She's a rough and tumble kid ans these sandals stand up to her energy. She's also an avid swimmer and these are a great option to wear to the pool besides her flip flops. Love that they are not adjustable at the top since she has a very narrow foot. Best of all she thinks they are very cute and girly like her!

I have these is practically every size for my two little girls. They are so comfortable and practical (hello, waterproof!), but they also look really classy and cute. We have tried other styles which hurt their feet, but these are the best!

Bought in white 2 years ago and worth every penny! Beautiful in silver this round. Runs slightly large, but still fully adjustable for growth. Perfect for travel since pairs with sundresses and water play.

These are the ultimate, throwback, basic spring/summer sandal. I love them on my 16 month old. They're great quality and I love that she cannot take them off - like she's learned to do with velcro shoes. The scalloped edges and hearts are adorable. I will probably start ordering them in other colors! Great price point too.

My almost 6 year old daughter is a 12/12.5 in shoes. I originally ordered the 12 and they were just barely okay, but didn't think they would make it through the summer before she grew out of them. So I ordered the 13. They are big, but not tripping hazard big. Love these! She took them out of the box, tried them on and wanted to wear them the rest of the day (she's very picky about shoes and comfort). Later that night she ran around the muddy baseball diamond and they were covered in very dark mud. I figured they were ruined, but I got out the toothbrush and ran them under water -- good as new! Very impressed. Will definitely order more.
