The best sandal I have ever bought for my child - My daughter got a pair of these sandals last year as a gift. She wore them all summer and they still look new. I just had to get a pair for her for this year.

Best Sandals for Toddlers! I had these when I was a girl and I swear by them for my son. Buying them a 2nd time for my 2 yr. old. These keep in good shape, last the whole summer, go with any outfit, clean easily and can be dressed up or down. THE BEST TODDLER SANDAL. I get tan and navy each year.

Best Sandal for Kids and Moms - I have now bought these sandals two summers in a row for my toddler son. He wears them every warm day. He seems to find them very comfortable, they look great with everything, and they can be worn in water! Couldn't be easier to keep clean! The quality is fantastic...nothing he does to these babies seems to wear them out...and they are made in the U.S.A. I have a pair myself! I have found, for both my son and I that I have to buy a whole size smaller than usual.

Great summer sandal! My 2-year old daughter loved this shoe from day one. They are super comfortable and versatile - I have yet to use them around water, but otherwise, I'm tempted to buy a pair for myself!

I get these every summer - These are a must have. My daughter loves them too and she is 3. SO they are comfortable. I have a pair in woman's size 7 and they are just as cute. They NEVER go out of style. I had them when I was a kid, no my kids wear them. LOVE THEM!

LOVE THEM! I love these sandals and so does my 17 month old daughter. They are so classic, unlike many of the baby shoes on the market today. They do have a harder sole so be careful. They sure hurt if you get stepped on or kicked. Although, she does love the sound they make when she walks on our hard wood floor. I would definitely recommend these. Top quality shoes.

Hurray for Salt Water Sandals - These perfect sandals arrived at my door within three days of placing my order with Zappos.com. Salt Water sandals are invincible. They go to the beach, the playground, church and school. The leather is soft from the start and the soles are pliable right away. My daughters love these sandals..the 11yr old and the 3yr old and so does mom. They are attractive but practical for children, unlike so many of the trendy shoes on the market in my local stores.

Best sandals in the world for children - These were ordered for my great-grandson. In the past, I have purchased them for his mother and his grandmother. For some reason, as children wear them, they seem to stretch a little which means they last two years if taken care of. All of my children and grandchildren have worn them.

Love them! I wore these as a child and loved them then. Salt Waters are a classy yet practical shoe. Your free shipping offer made it risk free to buy online. I appreciated your service and your prompt shipment. I'll remember Zappos at Salt Water time for my three children next summer. Thanks again, I am very impressed

Very happy - I love these shoes for toddlers because they are soft and bendable. The leather never gets hard after being wet either. Zappos also sent my order in a very timely matter and only had to wait a couple of days.

Gorgeous sandals which look like they belong on kid's feet, not like the modern sandals for sale everywhere which look like they should be on teenager's feet. These look truly classy. The fit is great and my daughter looks super comfortable in them.

A handsome and comfortable sandal! My son is 15 months old and we needed sandals for him for our trip to Jamaica this month. These came through for us! The only complaint I have is the straps come down pretty far on the toes and I noticed some redness on his big toes from rubbing when he walked. He didn't ever complain of it though, so I don't really know if it was actually painful. I was very happy with the performance of this shoe for our baby.

These fit my son great and are so cute. Unfortunately, the strap is coming apart after only a few months. Pretty disappointed about that due to the price and the quality I expect from Saltwater.

I remember these torture devices from when I was a kid. How people are giving these 5 stars for comfort is beyond me, my guess is they are putting kids in them and have no idea how they really feel. The soles are thin and hard. If your kid likes to run and jump they will hurt his or her feet. I can still remember the sore heels. They look good though.

Love these! They’re the same great quality that I wore when I was a kid! They run big and are hard to get on a fat foot, but nothing water won’t help.

I bought these for my 2 year old daughter in a size 8, which is her size, understanding that they would fit a bit big. as expected, they’re somewhere between a half to full size larger than her other size 8 shoes. I did not need to stretch the straps as the box suggests for her foot to fit. they’re adorable on her and she loves them!

We love Salt Water sandals! I buy them every summer for my daughter, who will be 4 at the end of the summer. She is in a 8 toddler this year and there's about 1/2 inch space for growth for her toes, which I think is perfect. I originally bought the shiny yellow ones, and after a day of wearing them, the part where the bottom of her feet touch, was peeling off. I called Zappos and wanted to exchange. They not only refunded me for the yellow ones, but they let me keep those ones and sent me out a white AND red pair for FREE. I don't know another company like Zappos. They go above and beyond star service. They are truly the best!!

I absolutely love these sandals. The best part is I had no blisters nor did I have to break them in. They look great with everything too. Actually I just ordered another pair in red!

These little salt water sandals are great for toddler girls. Flexible on the feet and are worth buying for the price that they are. Their great! Buy a pair and see exactly what I mean, if your not bonified with your purchase send them back and Zappos will take care of your return without a problem.

My daughter refuses to wear these until we go on vacation, so I cannot give a truly accurate review. She says they are too tight, but will agree to wear them to stretch them out later. We will see. They are very cute, and seem like they will be comfortable after a little breaking in.

I bought these for my granddaughters to wear at a beach wedding. I chose them because of their traditional style and I think they look adorable on young girls they fit true to size run a little bit wide and are very comfortable.

I purchased these sandals for my toddler. She has worn this brand previously so we knew what to expect. I was impressed by the overall style of the sandals, they looked even better than the picture. These sandals are high quality, they wear well and they are really cute.
