Though these shoes are of great quality and proudly made in the USA, they are not for boys! They totally look like girls shoes.

These are the best sandals. I get multiple pairs every year. We can go from getting them wet in the lake, to wearing them with a dress for church. The leather holds up so nice. My girls use and abuse them and we are still able to pass them on for others.
Love Zappos, they always make shopping easy and hassle free.

I buy these every summer for my daughters because they're perfect for the playground (no sand comes home with us!), the beach, the pool (they can wear them in the shower), and yet they never look sloppy. I love that they come in large sizes so my 9 year old who wears a woman's size 8 (really!) can still look like a little girl. I've found they run large and usually I buy a size smaller than what they're currently wearing.

First of all, I have not found a company superior to Zappos in product and customer service. Thank you Zappos!
I found these shoes to be well made. In my opinion, they are stylish and practical (waterproof). The only thing I would tell people is that they have no arch support whatsoever. My daughter loves these shoes.

Great little sandals. Indestructible. Cute. A little pricey, but really well-made. I've bought a couple of pairs of these for my daughter every summer for three years now and she loves them. They don't wear out, so you can hand them down, too. Top quality and adorable.

The perfect summer shoe: cute, comfortable, sturdy. These sandals can take a beating (they're waterproof!) and still look like new. Very well-made. I'd buy these for my daughter again.

We love these sandals. My daughters have worn them for several years, and have several pairs of sandals, but they always grab their Salt Water's first because they say they are so comfy. Great shoes. My girls are age 10, and very picky.

We waited for my daughter's size to be available, and once they were and we ordered them, we weren't disappointed. They are a great looking sandal -- a nice basic with lots of style. Also, they required no "breaking-in" period; the leather was very soft and no rough glue on any edges as they are all sewn. The sole is very pliant as well. We'll most likely buy another pair next summer, and a first pair for younger sister as well.

The shoes fit my daughter who has very narrow feet very well. however, beware the soles are very slippery so can be treacherous when climbing on trees, rocks, etc. My daughter slipped out of a tree trying to climb in them. Otherwise, great color, great sandal.

These sandals are great! They are my daughter's favorite. She's 9 and still loves them. They are comfortable and true to fit. They are on the wide side but not too wide. They give plenty of room for the toes. She uses them for school, the playground and for everyday walking around.

I just found these while browsing and I remember wearing them when I was a tyke! I remember absolutely adoring them at the beach and playing in the creek. Good memories :)

We love these sandals. I ordered a pair of each of my kids (3.5 and 5) and they are huge success. The five year old can easily buckle them himself. It is great to have good looking leather sandals that can get wet. They were comfortable on our kids feet right out of the box, and you can wear them casually or with more dressed; kid clothes.

My daughter likes these sandals even though they are a tad big on her. We bought them for our Hawaii trip and there were no complaints. What was nice was that she was able to get them wet without any worries about the leather. They are well made and would highly recommend.

These shoes are awesome and very comfortable. I did buy them smaller than what she wears because they are a little bigger than what the size is. For example she normally wears a size 9 1\/2 and i bought her a 9 she still has growing room. Leather is soft and they don\'t rub anywhere. They are hard to buckle a bit but i still dress my daughter so for me it\'s ok. LOVE these shoes and plan to buy more in the future!

I just LOVE these sandals! My daughter was originally given a navy pair passed down from her two cousins (yes, two of her cousins wore them before she did and they were still in great condition!) but, I wanted the tan color as well. My daughter has a wide foot so I was a bit hesitant buying them new, but they fit her feet perfectly from the first wear! I will be buying a new pair from Zappos EVERY year.

This we bought for my 3 year old boy; he has diabetes and his feet are very delicate. That's why it's very important for us to make sure the shoes he wears don't hurt him. These sandals are absolutely a treat for him, we ordered two other sandals at the same time because we weren't sure which ones were the right ones, and they are the winner and the less expensive, too. I highly recommend the Salt Water sandals for anyone, boy or girl. I read lots of reviews prior to my purchase and most of them were from girls; they look great on my Boy. We're getting another pair in brown soon. I hope this helps you.

These are very cute sandals, but the buckle is very stiff and hard to close. We don't want to deal with that every day, so they sadly have to go back.

Those were my toddler’s first shoes (thick sole first) and ordered bigger size when he had outgrown them. I loved the style (and quality at first) but after wearing them for awhile (we live in Florida so pretty much every day) the leather on the straps came off. Zappos and it’s amazing customer service sent me new one but the exact same thing happened. I was really happy at first but realized after a couple pair that something is not right in the making... too bad.

These sandal are great. My granddaughter had a pair that she literally wore out. They endured playgrounds, raining weather, beaches; you name it. Unfortunately we weren't able to find her favorite red color but tan was her second choice. I find children sizing a bit confusing but since I new her previous size I just order the next size up.

Best summer sandal for kids. Between 2 kids, I think this is our 10th pair from this brand and 4th in this style. We haven’t been disappointed yet.

I buy these every year for my daughter and we did again this year, they are so cute with all of her summer clothes. I ended up needing to size up because I remembered these running big but they were too small.

My daughter is 8 and wears a big kid 3 in most shoes so I ordered a 3 youth and a big kid 4/women’s 6 in white. The 3 fits perfectly. She loves them and wore them for a few hours the first day with no problems. The salt waters I got her when she was little had a slick bottom but I’m glad these have some grip to prevent slipping. They look great with shorts and dresses. Will get lots of use out of them this summer. I saw a lot of salt waters on amazon but wasn’t sure they were all authentic and sizing was confusing. Happy to get them through Zappos to be sure what I was getting.
