Great Sandals!
Both my girls have worn these sandals for years, they are the best. They are a classic, simple style and they wear like iron. I found that the girls grew out of them before they had a chance to wear out. The leather gets softer and more comfortable with age! We Love them. Thanks for offering them on-line. I used to have to rely on west coat relatives to send them to us!!

Salt Water Sandals -
We always love our Saltwater Sandals!! If you have never bought your child any, you are in for a treat!! I have bought these for all of my children since 1982 thru 2004, for my last child who is 3... You can not ruin these shoes... my kids have worn them on the beach, in the ocean, and to play play play, and they always look great!! They are so durable that they were perfect when my youngest were small and they had one pair of sandals in summer, and they are perfect now, for my youngest who has many pair in different colors!! Definitely a must have for the summer!!

A Classic!
I wore saltwaters, handed down for 3 or 4 siblings! These are the sandles to get if you want unisex, indestructable, reasonably priced summer footwear. I have heard they are not comfortable for grown-ups, though.

Awesome!
I loved my experience with Zappos. The shoes were the best price on the net and they gave me awesome delivery. I had to exchange a pair of shoes and they did it without hesitation and I didn't even have to pay the shipping!

Our favorite!
I have been buying saltwater sandals for several years. They look great and last forever. They do seem to run a little big. My kids have wide feet and these sandals fit them comfortably. The leather is soft enough to stretch. They fit right from the first day, no "breaking-in" period. I would recommend them without hesitation.

This is my favorite kids sandal of all time. I started buying them when my oldest child was walking age. She is 24 now and I am buying them for my grandchildren!

Nice basic sandal -
I purchased a pair for each of my two girls in tan - ages 5 & 9 - as a basic summer go anywhere sandal. So far they're wearing well. The girls did comment on the lack of support (they're used to wearing athletic shoes most days) but said it wasn't uncomfortable, just different than their other shoes.

Too tight across the toes.
Very cute shoes. They tend to be too tight across the toes. Not enough room to get little fat feet into.

I have been purchasing saltwater sandals for about 4 years. I purchased one or two pairs a year but all of the sandals that I have bought still look brand new. I can garden in them and spray them off and go about my day. Obviously a trip to the beach is a great way to break your sandals in. They are a little stiff the first day or two but then they become soft and supple.
I decided to order saltwater sandals for my kids after their first pair of Summer sandals were destroyed. The kids love them! I love that they are interchangeable for a boy or a girl.

Salt Water Sandals - the best tried and true sandal for kids and adults as well! Paid a small fee for delivery in one day for my granddaughter to have them to match her dress for Mother's Day. Couldn't be happier with these sandals. Super fit, no slipping and sliding on her foot. Very well made and know will last through her size and to save for the next little feet in the family. They are that good and last that long. Loved the true red color.

My kids now aged 13-29 grew up in salt water sandals every summer. They are awesome and durable. For those who say they have no arch support, they are sandals and if you wanted arch support you clearly did not look at the photo. I am now buying them for my new granddaughter.

These are my daughter's second pair of salt waters, and we love them. They're sturdy and she is able to wear them for a few summers instead of just one. They are generally very comfy, but she did get a small blister from this pair while breaking them in. I love the brown, they're simple and go with everything and will probably be able to pass them down to her little brothers if they'll wear them.

Growing up on the west coast, these were the sandals I always wore as a little girl. I came across these at Zappos (my all time fav shoe store especially for my kids) and had to have them. They do seem to run a little big, so if your questioning I would size down. My four year old loved them right from the start. I have actually had both styles of saltwater sandals for my daughter now, the original and the newer style with a little more cush on the bottom. We really loved both of them and I will buy another pair next year.

I bought these for myself and I like them very much. I am adult with child's size feet and finding shoes that don't look childish is very hard. They fit well and are very comfortable. They do provide any arch support, but that is okay since these are a sandal.

All I can say is wow! Wish I had known about these from the start. My 5yo daughter has wanted a pair of white sandals for years and I've never found any that I liked. I decided I would give these a try due to the brown sole which keeps them from looking to dressy but just dressy enough. She and I both love them! Ordered a size 1 and another pair of Kenneth Cole sandals size 2 and they are about the same size. I love the materials, buckle, everything! They will never go out of style.
