These are adorable. I bought them in brown, in a size 5 for my 14 month old boy who wears a size 5 in Jambu & See Kai Run, & they run true to size. My son loves them. When I put them on him, he smiles and laughs! He has pudgy feet & we have to have both buckles on the widest settings, but they work & look so cute!

I exchanged the original sandals for this pair because the adjustable toe strap allowed this pair to fit my toddlers chubby little kid feet. The shoes are stylish and comfortable, and water proof. I bought them as a dressy option when my almost three year old son isn’t in his keens or crocs. But you know how it goes with kid shoes, even dressy ones take a beating and we ended up at the playground a few times while wearing these. He was comfortable and as active and he is in other pairs. I bought this pair after deciding against the more expensive and not water friendly birkenstocks. I think it was the right call.

These are the best little kid sandals! They are salt water friendly leather so they hold up to running on the beach, in the ocean, and racing around the boardwalk. The unisex design allows for easy resale as well. This is the second year that I have bought these for my son and he loves them because they are comfortable and they have never given him blisters! They hold up well enough for him to use them for dress shoes as well. Both sets of buckles are adjustable so wide or narrow feet find a home. Can't say enough good things about these shoes!

I've happily purchased about 10 pairs of these sandals for my two kids who are now 7 and 5. I thought they were indestructible, but my 7 year old's school called me today to say his sandals broke and could I bring some shoes to school.

I bought theses for my almost three year old son after trying a different model that did not have the adjustable toe strap. These fit much better on his chubby toddler feet when I adjusted the straps to his size. The sandals felt true to size (9 toddler) and have been a favorite. I meant for them to be a dressier alternative this summer to the Keen Newports my son never takes off, but he loves them so much we wear them more often now. I still prefer something more protective and supportive for very active play, but we ended up wearing these to the playground on an unexpected trip and my son was able to be just as active and comfortable climbing etc. I had originally wanted to buy him Birkenstock Roma sandals - matching mommy's Arizona's even though it's a splurge, but these par are water friendly and more affordable. There isn't as much arch support, but for growing feet it's better to have a sole that doesn't have to conform just so. Overall, this was a good purchase and I will return to salt water sandals with all my kids in the future.

I absolutely love these! They are the only shoes my toddler needs for summer. He had a pair of tennis shoes but wore these 90 percent of the time. Both straps adjust so they have lasted the entire summer. He outgrew his Keds in two months. We will buy these every summer!

These are classic and cute. I love the way they are adjustable not only at the ankle, but around the toes. They are made for wide feet, but easily adjustable for narrow feet. Bought these in red and my daughter loves them.

This was my 2nd pair of these shoes and my 16 month old son wears them without complaint. The sole is comfy. They can get wet and still look like new. He wears them with Jon Jons and with his swim trunks. Very versatile.

I got these for my 15 month old. She has had no difficulty walking in them. They look beautiful and receive lots if compliments. The only issue is the buckle strap which she sometimes doesn't want to sit and wait for.

This is the 2nd pair of Salt Water sandals I have bought for my daughter. While they're a bit more expensive that the normal pair of shoes I could buy at Target, I feel that they are totally worth it. They are much more durable and easy to clean and tend not to wear blisters or seem as uncomfortable as cheaper shoes. She can wear them anywhere and we simply wipe them off and they look brand new.

These are the cutest, all purpose, quality sandals for my very active 24 mos. old granddaughter. She seems to really like them, and wore them until bedtime the first night we received them. I'm going to order another pair for my 18 mos.old granddaughter.

Love these sandals, and our twin toddlers always pick them if provided with a choice of shoes. Super comfortable, easy to put on/take off, and water resistance. I'll definitely buy again next season.

Love these little shoes! I most likely will buys these every summer. Supportive, adjustable,looks comfortable and my daughter loves to wear them. The style looks good with pants, shorts, and dresses too! She has a narrow, thin foot, but the foot bed is wide and would accommodate pudgy toes too.

A classic sandal that are tough enough for water, mud, grass, etc. but stylish enough for more formal summer events. They do run a bit big and so either order a size down if your little one is learning to walk. If you've got a confident walker you can order their actual size in shoes and you are likely to have some room to grow.

The shoes are great but what I'm reviewing is Zappos. I tell everyone to order from Zappos. I don't know how they offer such wonderful service and other businesses can't come close. Once I wanted a very specific pair of shoes right away and Zappos was out of my size. I had been told that another online shoe store was "just like Zappos." I ordered from them, ShoeBuy. The difference is amazing. I ordered from ShoeBuy, 3 pair of shoes...they were delivered in 3 separate mailings, 3 separate days. I had to box up separately 2 of the pairs and return separately. I learned my lesson, Zappos or none!

Love these sandals! The leather is soft on tender toddler ankles and they adjust to fit narrow feet. We bought them two years ago and ordered again this year.

This is the second Salt Water Sandal I have purchased in the past two years. They are true to size, adjustable, and just plain cute for a little girl. I guess next year I will be purchasing another pair.

Great shoes! I got these for my little boy with wide feet and they fit perfect. And the red matches everything believe it or not. Very durable for sunny Palm Beach!

Super cute! My 2 year old loved these! She wore them in the pool and in the ocean on vacation. Kind of annoying to buckle (like any sandal) but we figured out how to slip them on and off with out unbuckling them.
