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.

I love Saltwater sandals. So pleased I could buy a pair for myself at the same time as i ordered my daughter's pair! The sizing chart was perfect for getting the right fit for both of us. Shoes arrived super fast to regional QLD. Will definitely use Little Treads for kids shoe purchases in the future.
Cute little sandals but fit is a bit odd. The site’s sizing was UK and it turned out too big. Ordered smaller size but it seems to be a bit narrow/tight and needs some breaking in.
It was basically the same cost for me to buy these sandals new through Little Treads, than it was to buy them 2nd hand on marketplace!The sandals themselves are great and I know my daughter will live in them this summer
Great summer sandal for just running around. They look cute for casual wear and most important, they don't pinch her feet anywhere. These sandals run a whole sz large. My granddaughter wears a 12, and these fit like a sz 1. Had to return for a sz 11.
I get a pair of these for my daughter every year, usually the ones with the thicker soles but they’re not available in larger sizes. I find Salt water sandals always fit a bit larger than all her other shoes. Anyway, they’re very durable and can be worn in water which is ideal in summer. I love red shoes so I got her the red ones and surprisingly they work with most outfits. She loves them. Shipping was super quick!
This is my daughter's 5th pair of Salties. They are the bees knees. So soft and seem to only get softer with wear! Love them.
We've had a few pairs of Saltwater sandals and they're great - look great, very durable, and my daughter can wear them in the sea! What's not to love!?Even better to buy them on sale - thank you JL!
