I am always more than satisfied when ordering from Zappos. There was only one instance I needed to contact their customer service personnel and they were very pleasant to work with and solved my issue in a way that exceeded all expectations. I will continue to order from Zappos and tell my friends and family about them!

Love these! Wasn't sure of the size so I measured my son's foot and used the size chart. (5.5" so I went with the 6Toddler.) They fit him perfect but I'm afraid he won't wear them long.

My 14 month old seems to be able to run and walk in these with no problem. They are very flexible. The best part is they don't make his feet smelly either.

Love these shoes. Fit my chunky baby's feet kind of tight. But he broke them in eventually. Love the free shipping!

Unlike some of the other salt waters, these fit pretty true to size. I love that the toe is protected and it also helps to keep the kiddos from catching the shoe on things and tripping.

The sandals are adorable. They definitely run small, our twin boys wear a 4-4.5 so I ordered size 5 and they were too small. They were very narrow and also too short in the length. I ordered the size 6 and it was also narrow but the length was better. Our smaller twin has a petite narrow foot so I am surprised they leave such imprints on his foot after wearing them.

These are too cute and just what I wanted. My only word of warning is that our toddler is sometimes a little squirmy when we put them on him -- he's used to quick, velcro shoes, but he's gotten used to them. If your child doesn't want to sit still for very long, just something to consider.

We love these. However my son still does a lot of crawling so these shoes are not so good for walker/crawlers because the toes aren't covered. I bought the version of these sandals with the covered toes but id not like them- the heel goes high up on the ankle and seems uncomfortable.

The Salt Water Sharks are absolutely adorable. They not only provide comfort and durability, but style also. They are very versatile to match various outfits. I purchased them for my 2 year old. I chose to go a 1/2 size up, and they fit great. I wanted something that stay on his feet, and was concerned about the buckle. But so far, we haven't had any issues. I think he's pleased with my purchase. I definitely will be buying another pair.

I bought three pair of these for my grandchildren ages 2 years and 4 years. They are great shoes. The 4 year old has a very narrow foot. The sandal fits her well. Her 2 year old younger brother has a wider foot, and his also fits him well. Will probably buy more of these as the years go by and their feet grow. They also love them!

Good sandals overall. Seem to be comfortable. I bought them for my daughter to wear to school as they require closed toe shoes. She ends up with some wood chips from the playground in her sandals from time to time but has not complained yet. I wish I bought them 1/2 size bigger though.

Ordered on a Friday night, received them by Monday - which is FANTASTIC shipping time for Hawaii. Adorable little shoes. We love regular Salt Waters and these Salt Water Sharks are perfect for closed-toe sandal preschool requirements!

Well constructed, solid feel. There is enough support for the foot while still providing good flexibility for our toddler's feet. The strap adjusts plenty to accommodate a tall/thick foot like most toddlers have. Our toddler reaches for these most often when it's time to go outside to play.

Great sandals! We get these every year for our son. He loves them and they are great for daily use and special occasions. They clean up really well and stay in nice shape to pass on.

These have been great shoes for my 18 month old son. They didn't rub his feet uncomfortably and he's been able to run and play in them easily. We've only had them for about six weeks but they're holding up well. Not to mention, they're cute and can be worn with so much. They do seen a tad bit narrow so might consider a wide size (if offered) if your child has even slightly wide feet. And I ordered a size 5 to give him a very little bit of growing room but there isn't much room so I think it might run a tad small as well.

Ordered these for my son - they are darling and classic. I will order Salt Water Sandals for all of my kids. They hold up through thick and thin and they look so cute on their little feet.

These are quality made sandals. The buckles are great because it stays on my 17 month old's feet. The beige bottom stays beige and doesn't get dirty. Definitely order 1 size up because the back takes up a lot of the footbed.

I love these shoes! This shoe became a staple for school two years ago with my older daughter. Both of my girls wear a uniform, so we are limited in the choice of shoes. It is so hard to find a sandal that has a closed heel and toe. My girls say they are very comfortable, and they are very cute! My only complaint is that they don't come in larger sizes, and my 1st grader has grown out of them. Boo!

This is a fantastic sandal! I love it! I truly cannot say enough great things about it. I searched forever to find a classic leather sandal and was thrilled when I found these! The first time we wore them we went to the playground in the morning and the equipment still had dew on it and these sandals didn't slip when my boys ran. They've been in the lake, mud puddles, over wet rocks, and wet playground equipment and after being worn every day for four months by a two and four-year-old they still look new! They are the perfect sandal. They can withstand anything kids throw at them and still be worn to dinner or church. Now if only they would make shoes.

My kid wears size 7, but I ordered size 8 and this pair is suitable for him with little room for socks.

My daughter refused to put them on because they were smaller than expected. I got two pairs of sandals size 5 from salt water and bobux. Salt water ones were narrower and smaller than bobux.
