Your cart is empty.Salt-water® sandals have been cult classics for over 70 years, ever since walter hoy started making them with scrap leather from military boots during wartime shortages in 1944. they are the quintessential flat sandal still made with genuine leather uppers and little-way stitched rubber soles. they form to the shape of the foot with repeated wear, a process that hastens when wet. these versatile sandals combine comfort, fashion, and functionality, so they're perfect for wearing to the beach, splashing in the sea, pounding the pavement, or just hanging out.
For sunny days and aquatic fun, The Original Salt Water sandal by Hoy is a must. This braided offering in water-friendly leather can be worn in or out of the drink so your good time doesn't stop to worry about ruining the shoes. A buckled ankle strap keeps The Original in place so you don't have to worry about their falling off, either.

This is the second summer I purchased these sandals for my granddaughters. They lasted so well last year we had to have them again this year. My daughter said they wore them pretty much exlusively all summer long. I bought silver last year and they wanted it again this year. They are 3 and 5 years old. The sandals really are amazing as they wear them in water parks, the beach, parks and church all while looking nice! I can't believe they can look good after wearing them for everything. Somehow they do!They run a little bit flat, and tight, but there are instructions on how to soak them in water to fit them to your feet. It works well. After doing that, they fit perfectly! One more thing I like is the buckle. It is not a velcro so it stays buckled until you unbuckle it. Nothing to wear out or fray! They are simply great sandals!

I had a pair in red that I wore everywhere for 4 years during springs, summers, and some vacations almost every day. I finally threw them out at the end of this past summer because the stitching on the sole had started to come undone so the sole was coming apart, and the leather on the sole was getting discolored and gross from so much use, though they had cleaned up nicely until then. They are the cutest, most comfortable, and most durable sandals I have ever had. I wear a lot of vintage clothing and because these are such an old design they go seamlessly with any era of clothing, especially 1950s and 60s.I am an 8.5W, narrow-to-regular width, and the pair I had was an 8. They were always pretty loose, but still safe and comfortable to walk in. I was in high school when I got them, so I liked that they were loose because I could easily slip them on and off when I was running off to spend the day with friends or when I was at the beach, wearing them felt like being barefoot. I would recommend ordering them this big only if you are looking for sandals just to wear at the beach or around the yard, you will probably find them to be slightly too loose to wear around town or to be very active in.I ordered a replacement for a trip, and this time I want them to be tighter because I want them to look a little nicer on my foot, and also because I want them to be more comfortable and secure for walking around town. I ordered them in black this time, and I have to say that I love the black leather. Since it is an eggshell finish, they look have sort of an earthy finish to them, they don't look harsh. Initially I ordered a 6, which is 2.5 sizes down from my regular size. These were too small. My toe went past the stitching, and it felt like my foot was spilling out of them. So I am now awaiting a 7, which should be a perfect comfortable fit.My only complaint is the same as everyone else: the packaging is really terrible. They come in an un-padded poly mailer in a very thin shoebox with tissue paper. It is the cheapest possible packaging and the box arrived completely mangled and open, and it is just by luck that the shoes aren't totally destroyed. I don't even think they need a box, they should just come wrapped and in a well-padded mailer.

I wanted to buy them in Silver and gold...they were not shipping across the pond. The yellow color is a pick-me-upper, giving even the dullest of dresses that wow factor.

Wirklich bequem, schön verarbeitet und man kann wirklich damit mal schnell durchs Wasser laufen, das tut der Sandale nicht weh. :-) Einzig der Preis ist etwas hoch.

If you have narrow feet, or absolutely positively need arch support, these shoes are not for you. But I LOVE these!!! I had them as a small girl and did a happy dance when I found out they offer them in adult sizes! Initially I purchased them solely for nostalgia's sake. But they're sort of the perfect summer sandal, and they will be my go to travel sandal from here on out. Why? Let me count the ways.... They don't rub any funny spots or cause blisters. They are designed to withstand water so if I'm caught in a summer shower while sight seeing, I won't have to take my shoes off, hide them in my bag, and run barefoot a la Brittney Spears! They're a classic design that will probably go with most anything I throw in that suitcase. Unlike some of my more expensive "fancier" sandals, they're durable - I don't have to watch where I'm walking, etc... - they can handle it! (European cobblestone streets? Bring it!) My feet are neither wide nor narrow, and these are definitely on the wider side. Any more and they would have been too big for me. I wear a solid U.S. size 9 about 98% of the time, and these were no exception. The fit was perfect. I ordered the red because I think they'll look adorable with just about anything, but I will likely go back for the gold soon.....

Based on other reviews for Saltwater Sandals, I decided to try these! They are adorable and seem really well made. Nice grippy rubber bottom, beautiful full grain leather straps, very adjustable ankle strap. Many reviews say these run a full size large and to size down. I decided to order two sizes: 3, which is the actual size my (very tall) seven year old wears now, and 2, in case they do run big. Her feet are on the wide side, with a high arch. The 3 fits comfortably with about 1/2" from her toe to the end of the sandal; I would say they do NOT run large, but fit as expected. I am returning the 2 and keeping the 3. She has only worn them once, so I can't support or refute the durability/waterproofness that other reviewers speak of. I'll update if they don't hold up as expected. The leather and buckle are stiff right now, but given my experience with other quality leather shoes, I think they will quickly soften up. They are not so stiff that my daughter complains of discomfort or that they make blisters; I just mean they are a bit difficult to buckle right now! As an aside, I ordered these in red for me, they are adorable and a beautiful perfect lipstick red. I wear a 10, I ordered the big kid 8, they are plenty wide, but not loose, but I think they are a bit short, and my big toe was hanging off the front just a hair. I found that uncomfortable, so I am returning them, but they are beautifully made, nice leather, gorgeous color.
