Super cute, but like other reviewers noted, impossible to get on a toddler foot. The zipper doesn't do anything to help

Opened on Christmas morning and the whole rubber part of the boot is cracked and peeling. This is my FAVORITE style and color and I'm so sad to see it. I was hoping it was just a bad batch but I'm like the others, and have to exchange.

Within the first two times of wearing these the shiny clearcoat on them started peeling and looked so horrible I wouldn't let my daughter continue wearing them in public.

These boots, despite the option for a 'boys' model, all seem to be 'girls' - not sure what that means but I do know that other size 6 shoes are perfect for my son, but he couldn't even get these on at all. Disappointed because they are really cute - I recommend sizing up at least one full size to allow for the zipper.

My daughter fell in love with these boots and received them as a gift for Christmas. She had immediately put them on and was so excited to wear them. She finally wore them for the first time yesterday for the first day back from school since it was raining. When I went to pick her up, I noticed some reddish/brown stains on the bottom of the white fabric where the tongue meets the rubber boot. I assumed she got them dirty on the playground. I brought them home, ran them under water to clean them (used no soap) and they mostly came clean. They were very wet though and I left them to dry overnight. This morning the stains are now all over the fabric on both boots and much, much worse than they were yesterday. She cannot wear these boots, so now we have an expensive gift that will need to be thrown in the trash and I'll need to spend the money myself to buy her some new boots for wet weather. Save yourself the money and the heartache of your children when they can't wear their brand new boots and don't buy these. I use to trust the quality of Sperry, but if this is what happens after one wear (the treads are barely even dirty yet), then I'm not sure I can continue to purchase this brand and will stick with cheaper boots that last longer

We've had previous Sperry duck boots that lace up that we love. My kids have normal width feet, but neither could get their foot into these shoes. I ordered a size larger than the size chart indicated but with the half zipper and nonfunctional laces the opening was too narrow to allow their feet to even go all the way in. What a disappointment.

I was so excited for these boots and I even went up a size to accommodate for the small zipper. I finally received them and there is no way i could manage to get these on my toddler's foot. I'm so disappointed because they're really adorable. But I will have to return them.

Although these are super cute they run extremely small. I had to go two sizes bigger than my daughter's current size in most other brands and even then my daughter would not wear them because they were too uncomfortable. She actually hid them in our house so she couldn't possibly be asked to wear them again.

Didn't care for these boots at all. No cushion or support and very hard and stiff. Bottom sole is also very hard and seems like traction on ice/snow would be an issue. Returning these ASAP.

Wanted to get a classic duck boot for my 8 year old. He has narrow feet and these felt tight on the sides, but there was a lot of room in the toes. Also they were hard to pull on even with a zipper side b/c they're so narrow. We will try the Bowline style next as they look wider.

I purchased these shoes a month ago but today March 01, 2021 is my 3 year old daughter first time wearing them. They look like she has worn them everyday! The quality is absolutely horrible! The "shimmer" outer layer is peeling like an orange. They literally have peel marks all over them. They are so cute and I couldn't wait for her to wear them. For the price I am highly disappointed in Sperry! The sad part is...I had purchased 2 pairs....different colors.

Shoe as super adorable and durable, I just could not get my sons foot past the top part of the boot. Too hard for a two year old to get into.

I loved them except putting them on and taking them off was terrible. Where the rubber and the leather meet was way too small. Once I got them on they were very comfortable.

I was so excited about this boot. I am an adult, but I have really small feet, so it can be difficult for me to find shoes. When this product arrived in the mail, I immediately put them on and they felt great. A perfect fit. And they look cute, too! However, I've only been wearing them for about two weeks and the lining in one of the boots has already slipped out of place. It is now hard to put the boot on, because the lightning gets all crumpled up. Also, the lining slips so much that there is no Support in the very tip of the boot where my toes go. Because I walk to and from work, these boots are really important to me, and I'm very upset that, despite the cost and reputation of the brand, the boots are already useless.

The zipper doesn't go down far enough to even get these on my daughter's feet. Very poor design they should have some easy on/off for toddler feet.

Impossible to get on. My daughter is between a 5-6 and you just can't get the foot in. I understand they don't want laces, but these are awful. I definitely will not buy them again and unfortunately my daughter is barely wearing them because it's so difficult to squeeze in her feet.

I got the pink pearl ones for my 6yo daughter. She wears a size 1, so I thought I'd order a 2 for next school year, as summer is close to starting now. We couldn't even get them on her feet! And we both pulled, stuffed, and struggled with them- no luck. I think if the zipper went all the way to the sole, that might help. I don't feel like the hassle of returning them, so it's a bummer.

Was sent used/defective boots twice. Both boots were in terrible conditions. This was absolutely by far the worst experience I've ever had. Please be aware before you purchase!

will you all be restocking the pearlized blush salt water boots in size 10 for little girls? If so when will the site restock?

So odd! My daughter is 11. She wears a kid 6 and a women's 7.5, very narrow foot. (I have the same size foot, mine is not narrow.) We ordered the brown for her. Neither of us could get these shoes on our feet. Held up to the bottom of her feet, they look more like a Women's size 6 (or a kid size 4), not a Women's 8.

these run too small and narrow. even if you order a size up they don't fit the width. Also, they say unisex but when you get the box they clearly say girls. Maybe thats why they don't fit boys very well....

the exact same size in Sperry Top-Sider fits me perfectly but in the Sperry Saltwater Boot I couldn't even get it onto my foot.
