Adorable sandals! These are great for my 2 year old daughter. I love the design and the extra bulk on the bottom of the sandal. The soles are a little frayed around the edges so it took me some time to get used to that. They run a half a size too big. My daughter wears a size 10 in all of her other shoes and these are a little floppy at the ends but still cute.

Sensible little summer shoes. Very light weight too.
Not the prettiest though. Hence the return for a similar pair.

Really cute, love that it's adjustable. I bought the size 10 for my 4 year old with thin feet - it's perfect with room to grow (she's now a size 9). The size 6 on my 21 month old (who wears See Kai Run size 6) fits wonderfully in the length but is a bit snug over the top strap because she still has baby feet (not at all chubby but just a rounder shape). It's OK, I adjusted the strap but it's now on the loosest hole. It fits fine, but for a toddler with slightly chubby feet this may not be the right shoe (her See Kai Runs allow more room over the top of the foot). Overall though, happy w/ the purchase. This will match with all her summer clothes and casual and dresses alike. I like that the sole has a good deal of cushion in the sole, good for running. Very durable.

I love this brand so much. My girls wore these sandals everyday last summer and they were durable and cute. This particular style ran a little small so order a size up.

Love these shoes! So adorable and comfy. The only thing I would add is that the buckles are a tiny bit beyond my four year old's ability - but she's working on it, and it's a small price to pay for such sweet summer sandals. I want some for myself!

My daughter runs in these shoes, and can remain just as active as she would be in tennis shoes.

Cute but dug into my 1.5 year old daughter's feet and gave her blisters. Her foot is wide. Barely got to wear them.

I bought this style for my twin girls and they love them! I love the soft leather and that you can adjust the straps as my girls have super narrow feet. The only weird thing is the design/placement of the ankle strap. It just seems weird and the metal buckle ends up in almost to the middle of the ankle instead of the side! It gave one of my girls a blister on the side, but she didn't complain about it because the leather is so soft. They both love wearing it and wouldn't take them off the first day! I'm not sure I would buy them again next year, but they are here to stay for this summer.

The shoes did not arrive in their original box, they arrived in a very informal bag, I have bought these sandals before and I know how their packaging and their box are, so I am a little disgusted that they arrived with plastic ribbons, this makes me doubt a lot of the originality of the product, makes them look like copies

These sandals are really cute and my daughter really likes them but we’ve had a couple of issues: 1) despite putting them in water and wearing with socks to stretch the leather, my daughter did a get a blister on her pinky toe, 2) after a month of wearing largely just outside in our backyard (since we’ve been stuck at home during the pandemic) the shoe soles have started to break where her foot bends. The tear is straight through (not just on surface) so I don’t see these lasting for very much longer. So disappointing! I wouldn’t buy this brand again.

Not Impressed. I picked these sandals because they had been reviewed so highly before, but I was so disappointed. They look cheap and uncomfortable.

These are the worst shoes my daughter has ever worn. They’re super cute looking and run true-to-size, but these literally bloodied my 4 yo’s feet. My daughter has a lot of shoes - at barely 4 yo, she’s already in a size 12 (little kid/toddler) so I’ve obviously had to buy her a lot of shoes just to keep up w/ her growth. Out of all the pairs of shoes I’ve ever bought my child (more than a hundred pair by now?) these are the only ones that have EVER caused a blister. These caused more than a mere blister or abrasion - these hurt my kiddo so badly she was limping, crying, and bleeding so profusely it stained the inside leather strap - big time! These are cruel shoes indeed. These aren’t too tight on my kid’s foot and I couldn’t see any problems with fit. The patent leather is just stiff and totally lacking flexibility. I’ll never buy these again. I bought the nearly identical Footnates: Ariel sandal for my daughter in the same order (different color) and they’re equally adorable but totally comfortable right out of the box, slightly cheaper, they have a hidden Velcro closure under the buckle which makes them far easier to get on and off children this age (wigglers!), and, most importantly the Footnotes brand don’t leave bloody wounds behind!

My daughter wore these shoes for three summers, and we loved them (she was aged 1.5 through 3.5). Then we ordered our fourth pair for the summer of 2017, and they had drastically changed. The leather was markedly lower in quality and very stiff. For the first time ever, these shoes hurt her feet. The leather had a markedly blue hue that it didn't have before, which is an indication of really cheap "leather". I sadly sent them back. Fast forward to the summer of 2019, and I decided to give these another try, hoping things had changed. They had not. Still horribly stiff and cheap, not worth the $38 IMO, and they used to be such great shoes. I wish Hoy had just raised the price instead of cheaping out on materials and quality. I would gladly have paid a higher price for these sandals as they used to be.

Bought these for my youngest and she loved them. Wore them them all summer from the beach to the city. It takes a minute longer to get them buckled than some other sandals, but they definitely last and saltwater quality comes through again for the win. We are huge saltwater fans and will continue to wear them as long as they fit and then pass them down as they just keep going.

They fit tts for us! They take a little while to break in, but these are worth it because the leather holds up really well and they look cute for any occasion.

My little girl has some pretty fat feet. These fit her well. We are on the next to last notch, but I’m glad they fit her!
