So cute and goes with everything! I hesitated to get these for my little girl because I thought they might not be girly enough in the tan, but they are precious! Saltwater sandals are always a summer staple for us, you almost can't ruin them!

Love the sandals and Love Zappos even more! Wish I had read more reviews before buying since all the ones I read seemed to say they ran big, they seem to be more true to size in my opinion. Wish I would have ordered the next size,, thank goodness for Zappos 2 way free shipping, now I can get them & another pair or two, love them!

The sandals are precious but not super comfortable for active toddler. Will probably use for special occasions

Awesome shoes but not as unisex as I had hoped. Purchased these for my son because he requested red sandals but we’ll be giving them to his little sister:)
The leather and the soles are comfortable and he loved them for the day he wore them

The straps were too tight over my 22month old son’s feet. Wore once for maybe 2 hours and left marks from the shoe being too tight. Cute shoes but def runs a hair small.

I ordered these sandals for my children, and now I'm ordering them for my grandchildren. These are great sandals, I do wish there was a little more length in the toe strap, as chubby little toddler feet need the width, the last available hole choice barely works for the width. Also wish the soles were not so thick.

These are very cute shoes however they run very small. My 2 y/o granddaughter has very chubby feet especially on the top so for that issue these are great because you can adjust the front buckle. BUT, length-wise I would guess they are a full size too small. her toes hung over the shoe, she wears a 7 and I sent them back for an 8 and it's all good now and they fit. Adorable shoes otherwise.

My son normally wears a 6 wide. We got this style hoping it would accommodate his foot, which it does - but just barely! The front (toe) buckle fits fine with room to spare, but we could have used a little more room on the ankle strap. Just got these and he's already on the loosest setting, even though he still has some room to grow in the shoe length. As long as his feet don't get any puffier these should last us through the end of our long Bay Area summer.

This sandal is adorable but the fit is tricky. If you look carefully at the images you will see that the ankle strap is made from 2 pieces, and it comes around the ankle in a lower place. Compare this to the Sailors style by the same company. Sailors is more suitable for young kids with a high instep, since the ankle strap is one piece and more rounded I loved these but the strap just kept cutting into my babies fat little feet. Surfer and Swimmer both have the 2 piece lower sitting ankle strap.
Thanks Zappos for excellent returns!

Just bought these in a size 6 for my 20 month old after he outgrew his size 4 (slightly different style to the straps but basically the same shoe). For whatever reason, the main strap on this style is much shorter. He’s on the last hole with no room to grow.

These fit true to size and are adorable on! The only negative is that I wish they were velcro instead of a true buckle closure. My toddler loses her patience when I'm putting these on. The ankle strap seems to cut into her skin a little bit as well even though she is small for her age.

Man, these are cute. I love that they are gender neutral and built to last. I have bought a pair of the classic flat sandal every year for my eldest, and thought I would try these cushier-looking sandals for my youngest. They really are adorable, but my 2 yo just does not like the feel of these shoes. In fact, he consistently asks to take them off after 30 mins or so. I think the ankle strap bothers him.

Cute shoes and good for chubby toddler feet. Not recommended for super early walkers, but my 18mo boy loves the buckles and they look comfortable. We needed to size up but they are adjustable so we will hopefully get an entire summer out of them!

These shoes seemed a bit longer than the size chart said. Great for kids with wide feet since there is an adjustable front too. Overall excellent! super cute

We ended up going with a different style. The front strap seemed to land a bit too far forward. But this whole line of shoes is great.

So cute and overall a great sandal! They easily fit my daughter’s wide feet. I was worried they ran large, but they fit the same as her converse in the same size. They did cause a slight blister on her little toe after a few wears, so I had to wet and soften the leather.

I feel like these ran a bit small. I ordered a size 2 (my daughter normally wears a 1) and the shoes seemed to fit her perfectly. No room to spare.

My 2 toddlers have these sandals. I like that the design is unisex so I ordered a pair for my daughter in navy color when she was abt 2 years old and now my 2 year old son wears them bc they are unisex and my daughter now has a size 9.5 in these same style and navy color.
I gave this a 4 star review mainly bc (1). It is open toe sandal. I typically stay away from open toe bc i am afraid kids get stepped on when running wild and about with other kids or a rock hits their toe or something. (2). The buckles are difficult for toddlers to try to put on themselves. My 2 year old tries - he can open but not close. So not a good shoe to have if ur trying to teach ur kids to be independent and put on their own shoe by themselves.

I've been looking for a cute and versatile pair of white sandals for my 2-year-old daughter and loved the look of these on a friend's child. I'm glad I purchased! They will look adorable with dresses this spring and summer. She's currently a size 8, and I decided to go with an 8 in these since most reviews have said they run true to size. They do fit, although I'm not sure they'll last through the entire summer - we may need to bump up to a size 9 before it's over. The only downside is that her feet push toward the front, even when I tighten the strap around her toes. If I try to tighten it any further, she says they hurt, and her feet still slide a bit to the front. For now, she loves wearing them around the house! Looking forward to see how they hold up once worn more heavily outside.

These are adorable, durable shoes. My four year old wears them almost every day, and they match with everything from shorts to dresses....however, they're much more difficult to get on and off than many other shoes. Usually I have to do the buckles for her and although she does have the hang of it now, it slows us down getting out the door when she endeavors to buckle them herself - precious time for a busy working mama! Wish they'd make these with a more child-friendly buckle!

Very cute sandal. I was hoping they would fit my son's wide feet, but unfortunately, they did not. I ordered a size 6 for my 19-month old son, but they didn't even buckle across the ankle. His toes fit in (on the biggest size) but they were Nearly hanging over the front. I am not surprised since I have tried four different brands of fisherman sandals, some in wide sizes, and they are all a pain to get on and mark up his feet terribly. I thought this style might be better, and it might be in a size up. Still debating whether to give it another shot. At least shipping and returns are free at Zappos!

These fit the same as See Kai Run, if not a little smaller. I'm not sure how people say they fit big. My son has average width feet. He's 14 months and barely fits the 5. Same as See Kai Run. The arch seems a little tight which is why I gave it 4 stars.

My toddler seems to be comfortable in these shoes and they look adorable. He does have extremely chunky feet, and I have to keep the straps on the last hole, and even then they're a little tight. Despite that, he doesn't have marks or blisters after wearing them.
