I purchased these every year for my kids and now for my grandchildren. They are the perfect umber sandals. They are practically indestructible!

Love these. They fit well and are comfortable once you put them in water and let them dry on your child's feet. Had them last summer for my son and they were such great quality that I ordered them again for this summer!

Can't go wrong with Salt Water Sandals! Still fits for wide pudgy feet and slim feet. One of my favourites!

My daughter has chunky feet but I was still able to make the sandals work. Cutest things ever!

I feel like the sandals are true to size. My grandson has a lot of room in them, yet they aren't oversized. I bought a couple of pairs of these for his mom 25 years ago, and they are still a hit! Next year I will definitely be purchasing more.

My LO had these when he was younger and he loved them so much that I had to buy again. They are also are perfect for spring or summer outfits.

Love this!! Definitely order 1 size up so babies toes will sit behind the stitch line. My daughter is normally a size 5 in shoes I ordered a size 6 snd think they look great, she has about 1/2 a size to grow into and I think they will last longer. She’s running around no problem, we have tile floors and she hasn’t slipped once yet.

These were for my 19 month old grandson & the length was good however not wise enough for his chubby feet. Disappointed as both my children wore them in their youth. Such a great shoe. My grandson will need a sandal with Velcro across the front.

First, this is one classic pair of sandals - if you go back and look at pictures of kids in the summer from the 1920's you'll see this type of sandal/shoe. Timeless! The fit is perfect for our little one. There really is no arch support since the footbed is flat. On the upside, they can be worn in water and don't show signs of crinkling or wear like cheaper sandals after they dry. We pass these down to the next kid in line, and we keep buying them because they're such a great value.

Loved these for my daughter. At first the leather is a bit stiff and needs to be broken in but after that they are great!

These are my favorite shoes for little ones! They are comfy, good when wet, and the toddlers can’t take them off! We will always be a Saltwater family!

Buy these every year for my daughter. Once they’re ‘broken-in’ (wet them and stretch as the directions tell you) she wears them all the time outside of daycare (daycare won’t allow open-toed shoes).

Love these sandals for my 3.5 and 1.5 year old daughters! I purchased these for the first time last summer and love them so much that I re-purchased them this summer for both of my daughters. Love that these sandals can withstand all water activities especially the beach. I don't have to worry about them falling apart or getting destroyed with each wear to the beach or pool. The leather is very soft and shoe wears well over time. The only minor negative is that there is no foot bed cushioning or arch support but my older one doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all. She still runs and jumps in them, goes to the the park with them, does everything in them. Great that I don't have to pack an extra pair of shoes on water outings because the style goes well with any outfit dressed down or up. They are a little hard to put on for my daughter by herself since it is a buckle but I have them hooked on one of the last holes so she just slides them on and off. I originally thought the buckle was going to be an issue since it sits right in front of the ankle but my older one hasn't gotten any blisters or cuts from it. The metal is pretty smooth and well polished. Highly recommend these sandals and will definitely be re-purchasing them every summer.

The sandals fit perfectly and are super adorable but they sent me the wrong color so we returned them.

Like other reviewers said- they seem to be a bit tight. I have bought these for years and have never had this before so I’m not sure if they changed the width or what. I thought over time they would stretch out and be wide enough but my toddlers foot still can’t go more forward in the sandal. I don’t want to size up because they would be way too long. Hopefully with more wear and wetting them they will stretch because I love these sandals for little ones!

These are adorable but I had to return because I couldn’t get my 13 month old’s feet in them. I bought a size 3 and 4. Since the straps across the feet don’t adjust, her foot wouldn’t slide in. It was too thick. I’ll for sure buy them again when her foot flattens out and she’s walking.

My daughters have had these shoes in just about every color! My oldest wore hers daily in the summer and they held up so well my youngest can still wear them! They are the best! A comfortable, classic style that can be easily dressed up or down. A perfect sandal for kids who hate thong flip flops, plus these are easier for kids to walk and run in! I always recommend these to Mommy’s with young kids!
