I can't even begin to say how much I love Salt Water Sandals! My children, now 27 and 24 years old, wore them when they were little and now I get to buy my grandson's first pair!! These sandals are bulletproof! Wet, muddy, sandy - whatever state you find them in - they wash off with a hose and dry exactly the way they were! We passed down each of our pairs to friends and they passed them down when they were done! I will never forget the sweet little tan lines on my kids' feet! I highly recommend them!

My boy absolutely loves these!! He's barely taken them off. Great flexibility and fit well. The tips from saltwater about getting the fit right initially were super helpful and the water trick helped to soften the shoes and help with sore spots in the early days!

I agree don't be put off by first review. Both my nine-year-old daughter and I wear Saltwater sandals - I bought hers because I found mine so incredibly comfortable. First wear you need to stretch the straps (as it tells you on the box), they are comfy straight away, but very quickly soften even more and seem to mould to shape of your feet. For my daughter I also initially soaked hers in water for five minutes and she wore until they were dry. This is her second pair as she loved her first pair so much. I often have problems finding comfortable sandals for me and now that I've found these I don't think I'll ever wear another sandal again! (Helps they come in lots of colours!)Love that they're waterproof, they look good with literally everything, can be smart or ... MoreI agree don't be put off by first review.
