I've been getting these for my two girls every year for the last 4 years and they've been wearing them everywhere including the beach. Love them.

Everything about these sandals is awesome. I have been buying them for my daughter almost every summer since she could walk. They can be worn with anything and go just about anywhere. She loves them. The kids sizes are hard to find sometimes so I am glad Zappos had exactly what we wanted and the service is great! Remember they run big so size down.

Super cute little kid style high quality sandals good for all summer long activities. These are just like when I was a kid. Good construction and breathable leather. They run large.

These are the cutest girls sandals ever! The leather is so soft, and my very lucky daughter finds them comfortable. We have them in white, and I will be buying her several more Cora. Perfect spring and summer sandal!

Exactly what I expected but they do run large. I prefer it that way so that my kiddo can grow into them over the summer. These shoes are the best for summer play/water play.

These are very cute! They do run a little big. we ended up going with a size smaller. The great thing about Zappos is that you can order multiple sizes and you don't have to pay return shipping. The ease of returns is the main reason I shop Zappos.

I got these for my niece - she loves them! We always try to get her closed-toe sandals, but these were too cute and were pleasantly pleased with how well they fit her foot in front and were snug but not tight. The only thing I am not crazy about is the buckle. Most of the other brands we try have velcro (fake buckle) and these are real. My niece can't do it so well herself yet - but maybe that will improve in time!

So classic and cute! Fit is great, no blisters! Also my daughter has trouble with stinky feet and usually has to wear socks with all her shoes. She hasn't with these and it's been a few weeks now and I haven't noticed a smell! You won't be disappointed in purchasing these!

My 4-year-old has a narrow foot and these sandals fit her PERFECTLY. No one seems to offer narrow width sandals for little girls, so this beautiful classic is our go-to sandal. This is our first pair of "Originals" and I much prefer these over the "Sun-San" styles; the light-colored sole on the Sun-San becomes permanently dingy after the very first wear, whereas these Originals still look brand new after more than a month of daily use. My little girl WILL NOT wear shoes that don't feel good, and she declared these to be "very comfortable!" right out of the box. NOTE: I always size down in this brand (she currently measures at a 10.5, so I purchased Size 10), and they fit nicely with room to grow.

The sizing chart was good, just a little room for growth for the size 8 & 9. I bought these because I was tired of my girls sandals wearing out before the summer was even over! My oldest was given a pair of used ones and I was impressed how well the stood up for 2 summers. I have four girls and will be able to pass these down to the next girl. They are a little hard for my 3.5 year olds to buckle by themselves, but are learning. They stay on good while playing.

We love Salt Water shoes! I have three little girls, I but them each a pair every summer. They are durable and always look good! They are comfortable and last forever. Worth, Spending a little extra for. I don't buy them any other sandals. So I actually save money.

These shoes are wonderful. I'm not wild about how trendy they are, but they're the perfect one-pair-per-season shoe for my 3.75 year-old son. He chooses them over his sneakers almost daily. I love that they're water shoes that don't look like water shoes,and I like the classic style. I bought these in a size 9 (and they have plenty of room for him to grow into all summer), and he usually wears a size 9.5, or even 10--so definitely size down.

Only shoes for kids! Recommended by my friend who's been purchasing them since forever! You can literally walk in the water/sea and they do not fall apart. Real leather all over. Anatomical for young feet.

The sandals are great! I order them every year. Unfortunately the stitching at the ankle unraveled after only 3 wears. However, ZAPPOS has amazing customer service (thanks Kelly)! I called to exchange and they sent me a new pair free of charge! Will always return to Zappos for our family's shoes!

Love this shoe! These shoes are perfect for my 3 year old. I bought them in white and black. They go with everything. I remember these as a kid....so I bought a pair for myself! Zappos, as always, impeccable customer service!

I love this sandal! I buy at least one pair every summer for my daughter and love the white. This is the first time I've bought "the original" with the brown sole, and I like them a lot. They fit well and my daughter never complains that they hurt her feet.

Love these shoes! Actually, I love all Salt Water shoes in general. They are always excellent quality and last a really long time. The styles are traditional which I also appreciate. My daughter's foot is a little narrow. So I had to order a size down for her but other than that we are completely satisfied.

These sandals are the greatest. My Granddaughter loves them. We love them because they hold up through just about any thing, even running into the ocean.

My three year old loves these better than her flip-flops! They are great to dress down or up. I bought two pairs one for each of my daughters. My toddler's sandals seemed a little big, but my older daughter's sandals seemed perfect.

My daughter got the red ones as a hand-me-down from her cousin and wore them almost every day during the summer. They hold up great and the leather is soft so they can run and play with comfort. I bought two new pairs when she outgrew them.

Zappos is the only way to go! Free shipping both ways, fast delivery, no complications. Sandals are adorable and classic, only wouldn't get on my 15 month old because his foot is too fat. I wish the front straps had more room.

I had this same style but in silver for the past 5 years. Took them out of the box and right away could hear them squeaking. Never had that problem with the silver pair. Had to return.

Everyone loved the look, but unfortunately, too narrow for our little guy. Quality is fine. Trying a different style now (the Sun-San Surfer).

Runs a full size large! These are super cute and my daughter wore them in many iterations as a preschooler, but now at 8 she says the stitching is uncomfortable. (She never wears shoes without socks so I think that’s why she noticed it so much.)
