These are so very adorable on my daughter but she is only 18 months and still has chubby feet. There is too much space in front of her toes because the sandal doesn't fit on all the way. I'll try again next summer because I love them. She measures as a size 5 but these are a 4, so I rated them to run large.

Love these sandals for my 15 month old. She is a very strong walker though, I wouldn't recommend for early walkers or crawlers. They seemed A little stiff to me but she doesn't complain about them at all and takes off running every time I put them on. They go with everything (got them in tan) and I've gotten tons of compliments. Will be buying again when she outgrows these.

These are darling. I knew someday I was going to get my daughter a pair of Saltwaters to match my own. I bought them when she was 11 months old in a size 4 thinking she would need to grow into them a little, but they ended up being huge on her petite feet. I got another pair in size 3 and they are perfect with some room to grow. I would absolutely recommend any of the Saltwater sandals. They are unisex and last through multiple children. I buy them for her older brother every year and though she can wear his hand-me-downs I find myself wanting to get her "girlier" pairs as well.

These shoes are the best and can be worn multiple years and handed down from child to child. My daughter is on her third summer and they still look brand new. I buy these every year for my little girls and they can get wet, they go with everything, and they can play in them and wear them with dresses. They do run a little big, but I buy their true size knowing they will be a little big. This way we can hopefully get two summers out of them. I could go on and on about these shoes!!!

Love the look of these however my toddler has chubby toddler feet and they have a hard time fitting under the leather without me stretching them out a bit. Really good for narrower feet.

These are my favorite little girl sandals. We have gone through many pairs. They are comfortable and very durable and look so nice with everything! They are classics!

My one year old wore these through the spring and summer last year - to the pool, park, rivers, lakes, church and every in between. They are still in wonderful condition. They were easy to get on and off. We could definitely use them again for other children. I am buying another pair for her this summer. I got the white last year and it goes with everything.

I ordered these for my 17 month old and got them today. They're a little bigger than her size 4 sandals from Children's Place and her Nike tennis shoes, but not so much that she couldn't still run in them. They didn't seem to leave any blisters in the 30 minutes she had them on. Also, I didn't notice the fitting instructions printed inside the box until after she had already worn them. So far, so good.

These shoes are simply adorable. My baby girl loves her red sandals. She wears them with ever outfit and it's so retro.

I sold children's shoes for many years these are the best sandals that you can buy for your children. They will last until they are outgrown. Thank you, Zappos, for your free shipping and fast delivery.

These are the cutest, most versatile, long lasting shoes for every kid! My daughter is 22 months and she wearing the 4 toddler - she has very narrow, flat feet, so she has a smaller size than other kids her age. She has worn them to the beach, swimming pool, water parks, the park, playing in the hose, going to church, and every in between. They hold up and look excellent wherever we go!

I saw these in a department store and was skeptical about buying them for my 1 year old as the depth (from the sole to the upper) for her pudgy foot didn't look big enough. After seeing the many rave reviews on Zappos, I decided to give them a shot. The depth is definitely narrow; however, the shoes come with instructions for stretching out the straps. I wet them, and stretched them, before each wearing the first couple times she wore them, and now they fit beautifully. I love that they are made to get wet -- they are perfect for the pool, beach, or playtime. Her feet were slipping out of other plastic, cheaper sandals, but these offer a secure fit. Not the most supportive at a playground or running around, but for a toddler they work. They appear to be good quality materials and construction, so worth the money to me. Love that they come in so many colors as well!

Before purchasing these shoes, I read several reviews that said to order a size down because they ran big. Unfortunately, they do not. However, I still really love these shoes and will definitely be ordering another pair in the near future for both of my girls. They are very cute and go with just about everything! Besides the fact that they fit a bit exact, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Love this sandal. I bought them for my 2 year old granddaughter. They are great for everything she wants to do. She can wear them on land and in the water. They last forever!

I tried them on - they did not fit so I returned them and ordered a bigger size. The entire process was the easiest by far than any other online process. My grandson loves his bright red leather salt water sandals! Thank you, Zappos!

I really love this shoes. They are so cute and can be casual or can dress up a cute dress. I also love them because they stay on my 1 year old's feet. And she can't take them off. I knew they ran large so I ordered her current/almost grown out of shoe size, and they are still really big. The leather is a bit stiff when you first put them on, but after a few wears it starts to loosen up and stretch out a bit.

I wore these sandals as a little girl. So I won't let my child wear anything else! They are so comfortable and are true to their size. I love that she can wear them everywhere for any occasion.

Great little sandals. They're super cute on. They seem to be comfortable. They've never left marks or blisters on her feet. I wish the sole was a little more flexible for a first walker.

This is a great little sandal for my 15 month old, who is just beginning to walk. They are flexible enough for comfort and playing, and supportive enough for her little walking feet. Great for both water and non-water activity.

These are the cutest and most durable sandals around. I wore them as a kid, and now my kids wear them. Great for girls and boys. The fit is great except for my 1-year-old whose feet are still puffy baby feet. The Original Sandal is too tight across the top of his foot, but we look forward to next summer when his foot slims down a bit, because he will be back in these. So if your babies have puffy feet, might now fit good (don't worry, try their other styles that have a buckle across the toe portion also, like the sea wees style). I bought a pair of each style, and simply returned the ones that didn't fit. Zappos' 1-day shipping and easy returns make shopping online easier than shopping in store! Love Zappos, and love Salt Water sandals!
