Customer Reviews Salt Water Sandal by Hoy Shoes Retro (Big Kid/Adult)

Exactly as expected ??

Perfect, ? I love them…

when these arrived my 13 yr old Grandaughter really liked them she really does not like wearing sandles but these ones she liked they came in rose gold which was the perfect color she said these are great for all types of water they keep their feet safe in the river then they look great with a sundress or shorts I will be buying school shoes next I love the customer service I will be 100% buying all her shoes at Zappos thank you

I ordered these for my 9 yr old grand daughter. Salt Water is all she has worn from a baby. I love love this brand of sandals.

The Best ever!!

They fit perfectly

I first ordered my true size, they were a bit small so I returned-which was super simple and easy-ordered a new pair in a size up and they are a perfect fit. Salt water sandals are timeless, been wearing them since I was a kid. My kids now wear them and I’m still loving them as a busy mom. I’ve been happy with every shoe ordered from Zappos and aside from the shoes themselves, I’m super impressed by Zappos customer service, how easy the app is to use, how quickly they arrive, and how easy it is to exchange/return. Overall I try to buy most of my shoes through my Zappos app.

Super cute Saltwater's. Love them!

Exactly as pictured and described. Exactly what I was looking for. A shoe for every day in Florida!!

These are adorable, I bought them in tan. I have pale skin and they look great! They can dress up a casual outfit. I can't say enough nice things about them.

These are super cute and so comfy to me!!

Because these are leather sandals, they are very narrow when fresh out of the box. I have narrow to regular width feet, and they were tight on me. Follow the instructions in the lid to stretch the sandals before wearing, and be mindful of a breaking in period

I was looking for a casual/semi dressy, low profile sandal other than my Birks and these fit those criteria perfectly. I wear 7.5-8, went with the big kid 6/wm 8 and they fit fine. If you are 8-8.5, I would order the big kid 7/wm 9. Very flat sole but should be OK for events that won’t involve a lot of walking.

These were so cute and retro, and I was looking forward to wearing them. Like many simple flat sandals, these have pretty much no support inside, which didn't feel to be much of an issue for me but may be an issue for people who need more support. While the soles are a rubbery material, they're fairly slick, so you'll need to be careful until the bottoms get scuffed up a bit. I felt these were fairly true to size. I am normally a size 6-6.5 but sometimes size up to a size 7 in sandals as I dislike toe or heel overhang. I tried these on in the Big Kids size 4 and 5, which should have corresponded to a ladies 6 and 7. Both fit as I expected lengthwise with the size 4 being exactly the length of my foot (possibly a smidge of overhang where my heel curves outward) and the size 5 being just slightly larger (enough to avoid any overhang). I have a low volume, but not necessarily narrow, foot, with narrow heels and bony ankles, and usually have a problem with the straps on sandals being too loose. The front straps on these surprisingly fitted fine, and the wider toe box allowed my toes to spread out comfortably. The leather wasn't super soft but wasn't overly stiff or felt like it would cause blisters either. It felt like it would stretch out with wear, so I imagine that these could fit most people, especially once they've broken in. Personally, I would not have wanted these to stretch out any more than they were, although I'm not sure how avoidable that is. My main dealbreaker was with the ankle straps. I'm used to ankle straps not fitting tightly, but the angle these were attached made them stick out extremely awkwardly and buckling them more tightly just pulled the leather weirdly. I think I would have kept them if the ankle strap were designed to be even slightly more adjustable in multiple dimensions.

Be careful when you order that you select the correct sizing - Big Kid vs women's. I accidentally ordered the big kid size and now they're too big so they're going back.

I bought three pairs to find my size! I’m 7.5 but wear women’s 7 in these. They are so comfortable, and I love that I don’t have to worry about getting them wet. The toes seem a bit loose right now, but I think that’s the fit. (Not super tight) I’m so glad I bought these! I just wish finding my size was easier.

Love them

Couldn’t even get my toes in the toe box

This was a beautiful shoe and fit well, but I could feel where the straps were connected to the sole under my big toe when I walked and it was very uncomforatble.

A full 3 sizes bigger than what our daughter wears in any other shoe. Her toes don’t even come to the edge of the straps. We are keeping them in hopes of wearing them in 1-2 years.

Didn't find these comfortable at all. I have a narrow foot and these were way too wide. They're also pretty clunky looking. I've heard they're more comfy once they get wet, but I couldn't get past the look of them.

The webbing at the front of the foot is super tight. My daughter's foot is narrow and it was still too snug.

No cushioning. Very uncomfortable.

Super cute but too flat and also bottom was slippery so it felt like a risk to wear. Also, the stitching of the top to the sole caused a bump under the big toes which was uncomfortable.

I ordered these a size larger from my usual Salt Water size based on the reviews. Well...they were too big and I was not a fan of the look. I returned and will be ordering the red in the Original Salt Water Hoy style.
