Customer Reviews Salt Water Sandal by Hoy Shoes The Original Sandal (Infant/Toddler)

I've always loved Salt Water shoes. Everyone in my family buys these for their children - so when I had my daughter I couldn't wait to buy her her first pair. The shoes are cute, practical and go with everything. I do recommend wetting the shoes and stretching them out just little because they rubbed my daughters sides of her feet and caused little blisters. I only had to wet and stretch once and now they are fine. Can't wait to buy more.

I LOVE these shoes. My soon to be 6 year old has gotten a new pair every year since she was a year old. I WORE THIS SAME SHOE AS A CHILD!! Not only are these nostalgic for me, but they are the best quality shoe I've ever found..bar none! They never look old! I give them a quick wipe down w/a mr. Clean magic eraser every week & they're good as new! My daughter has a REALLY hard time finding shoes that fit her. Her foot is EXTRA WIDE, and thick from top to bottom. My feet are super narrow and skinny. We both fit this shoe well! She never complains- and she complains about EVERY other show she owns (too tight, etc.). We will continue to buy these every year for many years to come. Maybe forever. You will NOT be disappointed! Buy them!!

A true classic! Utterly adorable, indestructible, and perfect for wading and mud and water. Well worth the extra cost.

Great sandal. Purchased this for my 3 year old little girl. She normal wears a 7 to 7.5 I ordered the 7 even though all the other reviews said that they run big. Well I should have listened and bought her the 6. I have kept the 7 knowing that she will get plenty of wear by being able to have them for a long time. They are super cute and look nice with a dressy dress as well as with a pair of shorts and t-shirt. Very versatile. I would purchase again and again. They take a bit of time to get on. My three year old can't do it yet by herself but I am hoping with wear they will get easier. Haven't used in water yet but hope so soon as the weather is getting nicer.

I bought these in a size 5 for my 18 month old daughter and they are definitely a bit big, but I think just enough that she will have room to grow through the summer. The style and color are classic and adorable on her chubby feet, and something she can wear them with pants or dresses. I also ordered these in the gold color and those were beautiful too, but I returned them simply because the tan ones were more flattering to her skin tone (she is white). The bottoms are nicely rubberized, so she does not slip while walking. They are inexpensive yet high enough quality that I could see myself getting her a new pair each summer and passing them down through younger siblings. I love them!

This is our 3rd pair of Salt Water Sandals. I wish we had a pair in every color! These are awesome shoes and we will definitely be ordering more!

I just ordered these sandals in navy for my toddler daughter. Both my husband and I wore them as children, me in white and him in tan. I am looking forward to passing this pair onto our son, as they are very durable shoes! Some reviews said that the shoe ran a little big, but I ordered my daughter's real size thinking she'd have a bit more time in them, but they actually fit perfectly. I love these shoes!

Size was a little big, material stiffer than expected, width runs a little narrow..maybe better once they stretch a little. Shoes are good but it took 3 shipments on ZAPPOS part as the first shipment was wrong style sandal, 2nd shipment was the WRONG size sent a kids/womens size 3 not a infant, third shipment finally correct. NOT a good experience with sending correct sandal/size but sandals themselves are good.

By the time my kiddo grew into the length she was going to outgrow the width that it allows for, super cute though!

Very cute shoes, however the top bands were so snug on her foot and so that was the reason we had to return. I would suggest sizing up!

We ordered the size recommended and they were way too big. Exchanged for a smaller size and I think, once they are broken in will be perfect.

These are great sandals but run a full size too big! Otherwise, look well made and great quality.

These are super cute but more narrow than my son's other shoes.

Purchased these shoes for a toddler. While my older son has these and they work nicely, these don't work so well for chubby baby feet in my opinion. Lots of rubbing in all the wrong spots. Loose in places, tight in others. While great for older kids, I returned this toddler version.

Hard to get on and off. Worn several times but have not really broken in as I hoped. Very cute. Too bad leave marks on skin where straps are. She doesnt complain but it cannot feel good.

My daughter and I both love these. After trying several other pairs these were the ones we finally both loved. Our only complaint is the buckle is too hard for her to do herself (age 4.5 and putting on her own shoes for at least 2 years). I wish it had hidden Velcro instead of a real buckle. I do think it'll get easier for her as they get more worn in. Otherwise, adorable and comfortable and Classic.

My daughter had these in yellow last summer and we loved them. I bought them in tan for this year but they are too tight. I couldn't even slide her foot in all the way. She is a petite 2 year old but I guess the top of her foot might have a little baby pudge left. I am going to try an adjustable pair instead.

I really wanted these to work but because they felt too tight we ended up getting the style that buckles on the top instead.

These shoes are really cute but my little girl likes to move fast and she trips on them all the time. They are too rigid and not flexible. The sole is pretty hard and I don't think she is comfortable in them she is only 1 and I am looking for a brand that can grow with her activity while also providing style and comfort.

My daughter complained they were too tight. Also would be better if they were Velcro. They were hard to buckle and did feel stif.

Size 5, toddler girl: I could not get my daughter's toes anywhere close to the front of the shoe and her feet aren't wide. The next size would be too long, so I'm not sure how these shoes are fitting other kids! So cute though.
