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

These shoes are just adorable. I love them on my toddler and my big girl. They do seem to run a bit small, especially the ankle strap (we went up a size because of toes being too close to the end, but our ankle strap is at the second to last hole. So not much room for growth.) Overall, I am happy that we got them!

Mixed reviews at our house. One girl won't wear them anymore because the straps dig into her. The other one says they're comfortable, although today she put bandaids on her feet where the ankle strap goes. They're definitely cute and seem well made.

These sandals have a very wide footbed. My 18 month old has a narrow foot, and although the buckle straps kept her foot in place, she had trouble walking in them due to all of the extra material/rubber on the sole. She measured a size 5.5 just last week and the 5 was the correct length. Sending these back but may try again in a few years as the quality was great.

These shoes are adorable. Classic design that looked adorable on my daughters feet, but they have to go back because of the buckle closure. It was even difficult for me to buckle them, let alone a 5 year old being able to do it on her own. I know other reviews mentioned over time kids are able to slip the back down without having to undo the buckle but I'm not willing to wait to see if that happens. Had to return them for ones with an easier on/off option.

The buckle holes don't match. If I adjust them the same, one ends up too wide. If I adjust them differently, they fit fine, but the excess strap on one side looks longer

The straps were odd. Too wide at the tie and too shirt over the foot.

Too Long!

The buckle is terrible. Really cheap quality... shocking for such an expensive shoe. The prong is difficult to manuver. And the buckle is too small for the strap... it takes great effort to fit strap through. The base of the shoe is nice, and my daughter says it's comfortable. But she can't do it up or undo herself, simply b/c of low quality and buckle design.

Very cute sandals, but the leather was extremely hard and seemed destined to create awful blisters. The shoes hurt my daughter's feet when she tried them on and the buckles were too difficult for her to do herself, mostly because the leather was so rigid but it also seems like a design flaw with the buckle itself. (She's 5.) Too bad.

I bought these shoes twice last year in a smaller size for my daughter and they were perfect and she used them throughout the summer. However, I bought these for my two year old daughter in the rose gold color again for this summer and they aren't working out. While they are incredibly cute, they hurt her feet. She was only able to wear them for one day and the ankle strap was rubbing her under her ankles and on the top of her foot. She kept asking me to "fix it." Luckily, zappos customer service helped me out.

Cute shoe but ankle strap did not fit our 21 month olds ankles. Even on last hole the buckle was too tight and left a mark within the 2 minutes of trying them on.

Super cute, only complaint is that the main ankle strap seems very small. I bought then slightly big to have space to grow into, but we have the ankle strap on the last hole. My daughter constantly pulls at them and I can tell they aren't comfortable.

My daughter has worn these sandals for years. Love them! My favorite children's shoes. However...I notice every other year or so, she is between sizes and just can't wear these sandals. The smaller ones are too small (can't buckle the ankle strap) and the bigger ones are too big (too much toe room!).

the strap was to short

Adorable Looking but gave my granddaughter multiple large blisters. She would never put them on again

It is so uncomfortable that i can not get my 6 year old to wear them. Too bad because they are really cute and would go with a lot of summer dresses. Very disappointing and too late to re

the strap did not fit around her ankle

Very small across instep. Having very difficult time returning them.

A few hours into wearing these the first time, they rubbed the back of my daughter's heel and made it bleed pretty badly. I would return them but she'd worn them. And bled...

Really great shoe design in that the straps are adjustable for narrower feet. We got the multi colored sandal which has a leather finish. There is an issue with these shoes that the leather peels apart. First it cracked around the buckles then all over. The top layer peels off completely in pieces leaving a suede thin leather. Additionally the leather foot lining begins to fray around the edges. Will be returning these unfortunately.

Loved the look but had to return because my 4 year old said they were not comfortable. The tread didn’t look the safest either.

I loved the first pair of sandals I got my daughter in another style. When she outgrew them I decided on this style in the next size up but for some reason her toes were hanging off the edge. How can I go from a size 4 where her heel is just touching the edge to a size 5 and her toes are dangling off the end? I will return them for another style in this brand and hopefully they will work. She got so much use out of her first pair.
