I purchased this shoe for both my 4 and 6 year olds and it fits very well, is durable, and protects their feet. Great summer shoe.

The sandal is clearly well made by first appearance. I love how versatile it is, built to withstand water and made in neutral colors to dress up on Sunday.

I have purchased this shoe twice for my Great Nephew as a boating shoe and a friend who lives in a hot climate. Thes are great shoes for active boys because they are cool like sandals but also offer toe protection for active boys! They both loved them!!!

My daughter wore her first pair out. They lasted about two years. She loves these shoes!

I purchased these sporty sandals for my 7yr old daughter to wear to day camp. I must say they are durable and really cute; Perfect fit as far a sizing, my daughter wears a size 12, not too loose and not too tighter, she says they are comfy. The inner sole of the sandal is kinda squishy and comfortable, the top is breathable and doesnt make her feet sweat or slide around in the sandal.

Adorable and sturdily made, but they are really small. My daughter wears an 8 in all her shoes, and they have lots of room to grow into, but her toes were all the way to the end of the 8s here. Reordered in size 10, hoping they're perfect.

These shoes run *true to size* before they actually get some use. The width was perfect for my child’s wide feet and because they are in a 13.5 sneaker I ordered a size 1 to allow for foot growth this summer. They worked out great for the first few splash pad days…then the material (especially the strap area) stretched to the point that the shoe was too big and the heel strap would slip off (it can’t be tightened with a separate strap).
The shoes look great, and my kid said they were comfortable.
The overall takeaway is that I would err on the side of a slightly smaller size if I were to order again. My kid is a size 13.5 and so I ordered a size 1 to allow for summer growth…I should’ve gone with a 13 instead to allow for the stretch that would happen when using the shoe for splash pads.

Love Columbia products! My toddler twins have been wearing a size 6, so I ordered a size 7 for them for theses sandals so they could wear them over the summer. We got them and they are good quality but already tight on their feet. Going to have to return and order a size 8! Order a size up!

My daughter wore those in a smaller size last summer and liked them so much we bought them again. Great price and they hold up well.

I love wearing these - they make me feel like a kid again (and I'm approaching Medicare eligibility!) Fun and funky. I love that I figured out I can order large youth sizes and save $$.

My son has wider feet, but usually for whatever reason shoes with adjustable back straps work well enough for him. We could not get these shoes even close to on. I wish they made them in wide fit! Do not buy if your child had wide feet. Otherwise, they seemed comfortable and well made.

The shoes are very cute. They do run small so feel free to order at least half a size bigger. Also a bit heavy for a small child.

My 2 year old LOVES wearing her shoes, unfortunately, I can tell she's muscling through some pain as one of the shoes rubs into her foot and tears into her skin with each wear. I believe it's an anomaly as her other shoe does not do this and her brother's pair does not bother him. Nevertheless, her little foot is getting worse and I have to give her a bandaid in order to wear her favorite pair of shoes.

I received my order sooner than expected. My nephew will love his new sandals. The sandal with the toe will be good for him as he goes hard all the time.

The size chart is a little confusing and you can't believe what size fits your kid's foot measurement but after all, I say, if you get at a good price, it worths the trouble. Our girls love them for walking, hiking, even biking. We hope they last.

Well-made and attractive, but runs very large in width and length. I had to wear a sock, which defeated some of the purpose.

Size was as advertised. Good quality and will stand up to our 4 year old's adventures. Top of the straps rubs a bit on the top of his foot, though.

Runs small, like at least a size small. I ordered size 9 when my daughter wears 8s and it was smaller than those 8s. Then you have to jump through hoops to routine and pay money when they're incorrectly sized in comparison to other shoes

I am an adult who wears kids' sizes and ordered these for myself. They are really comfortable. By far the most comfortable pair I ordered. I am sorry to return them, but they are just too wide. If your kid has normal to wide feet, I recommend these. My feet are just too narrow to make them work.
