I love salt water sandals. They're the perfect summer shoe. They're a little tight at first so I'd suggest wearing them wet to help the shoe stretch out and mold to your foot. Otherwise they're great!

These are the best leather sandals! Sturdy for intense play, and comfortable enough to wear all day. My littlest has a lot of great vintage hand-me-downs, and there was not a better sandal to pair with his summer outfits. I purchased them slightly larger than needed so they could last from spring-fall, and the leather held up amazingly. This year he also has a pair of leather birks, but he and I prefer these shoes. Will be purchasing every year.
Fits as expected for size. He has a very boxy wide foot, and there was still extra room if needed.
sole is nice and grippy enough for a toddler, no unexpected slips and falls.
clean off well just rinsing under water.
I switched my daughter to Salt Water Sandals, because she is so hard on shoes. She has never worn out a pair of these, and they still look great when she grows out.
I recently purchased a pair for myself, and I love them to pieces. The leather is so comfortable, there is no need to break them in.

The best sandals for kids! Once broken in, they conform perfectly to their feet. They also go great with dresses and shorts. I have reused my oldest daughters for my younger daughter too. They wear so well!! A must buy sandal!!

These are the go to summer sandals for my family. I wore these as a kid (who am i kidding, I wear them now) My daughters have several pairs of these, they wear them with everything.. They even passed a day at Disneyland with ZERO complaints. I must say that there is a bit of a breaking in period. When my 6 year old puts a new pair on she always says its too small or two tight. I remind her that she has to wear them to stretch them out. I also follow the steps showing in the box how to stretch them out with your hands. Overall a great adorable buy!

These sandals are classic I buy my son a new pair every summer. You cannot go wrong! I find they run a little long in length and leather is a little tight at first but just let them break em in!

These shoes are adorable on my kids 3 and 6 yrs old. They are comfortable too. Big thanks to awesome customer service at Zappos for promptly sending the correct color shoes, and letting us keep the silver, which is equally cute.Thank you!!!!

These shoes are great! But Zappos customer service was even better!!! Somehow my purchase was shipped to my previous address and I needed them in two days for my daughter. Zappos shipped me a new pair overnight, so we would have them in time!!!

I remember how much I loved my Salt Water Sandals that I wore back in the early 70's. I was so was excited to find these again for my 4 little grand daughters for a special family get together. Third generation of little girls to fall in love with these sandals.

These are really cute shoes and my daughter really likes them. They seem true to size and her toes have enough room to spread out. She said that they are very comfortable.

These are the perfect neutral sandal - they stretch to fit my wide feet immediately (once I wet them down first), and I can walk in them for days.

This is my daughter's second pair of Salt Water Sandals.
My daughter has thick feet, so at first I didn't think they would work ... but I pulled on the straps around the front of the sandals and they loosened up just fine. (Later I realized the sandals come with instructions to do just that - funny).

This our second pair, I will be buying them for my daughter every year, they stay looking like new, great for hand me downs. they're very comfortable, easy to clean, and she can walk and run with them no issues, blisters or any discomfort. We love these sandals! True to size and can wear them with any outfit.

As stated in a previous review, this skittle Kid version works nicely for my son. Purchased a toddler version for my one year old daughter and they don't work so hot in chubby baby feet. My son loves his however, they seem comfortable. No rubbing. I wet the insides per instructions to form to his foot. He enjoys wearing and they match many outfits both casual and dress.

These sandals are the only sandals I buy every summer for my daughter, they are well made, cute and comfy. My daughter is 4 kids size and the size 3 kids fits perfectly. Zappos is the only place I will buy them from; their customer service is 5 stars.

Love these sandals! My little girl has worn them since she was 2. They hold up all summer which is nice. They also run a 1/2 size big so even when she goes through a middle of summer growth spurt she can still wear them. Plus I have a matching pair which my daughter loves.

My 5 year old daughter was a perfect size 10 but I exchanged them for the 11 to give her some growing room for the summer.
Precious, classic style that is comfortable and not too babyish for her.
These sandals are very well made and you can't beat the price! I plan on getting the gold, as well!

I love these shoes. I wear a women's 5 and the size 3 for little kids is perfect. Never hurt my feet. This is my second pair I already have the white one.

Perfect sandals for kids! Resilient, stylish and both my girls (who are total opposites) love them! Also, Zappos was quick to fulfill and deliver my order.

These are by far THE BEST shoes for children. We have been buying these since my daughter could walk. They never leave blisters, are super easy to get on and they hold up. The first pair I bought secondhand because I couldn't see why people would spend $30 on a pair of shoes for a child that would quickly outgrow them. Once we received them, I got it!!!!! I have actually been able to resell all pairs we have bought because they were still in such great shape, even after all the toddler abuse they were put through!! I love that they will survive a wash off with the hose or a waterpark. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

These are the only sandals my two year old little boy will keep on his feet. I find that they run a bit big but I don't suggest sizing down, little ones will grow into them quickly. Overall highly recommend them.
