Surfer Hook & Loop (Toddler/Little Kid)

While I love these sandals, I am really disappointed in these manufacturing of these shoes. My son has worn them 2, maybe 3 times and all the brown "leather" is pealing off everywhere the straps bend, which is everywhere. There is cracking by the buckles that was like that after one wear. I have bought this brand countless times for my older daughters and have NEVER had this problem. wont know if its the style, or what, but I am very disappointed to have spent this much on a pair of shoes for a child and they wear worse than the $10 old navy sandals he had. I don't think I have ever taken the time to write any review, but save your money, maybe try a different style, but these were a disappointment.

The shoes fit my 13 month old grandbaby like a glove. These are the first shoes his has kept on his foot. He loves to wear the sandals so much he will bring them to you to put on. The shoes came quickly and were well packed.

Love that the top strap is a Velcro. My older one used to have them and they were buckles. Super cute and easy to slip on and off wide and high feet. True to size. My son wears a 19/20 and I got a size 4

Lasted the whole season! Great sandals!

My daughter has a high rise foot. Even after I switched it to the last hole I couldn’t squeeze her foot in. I got a bigger size. Shoes run smaller. These shoes are definitely for kids with narrow and skinny feet.

Very odd fit. The strap for the toes is way too far back so unless your kid has super long toes (and mine kind of does) I don't see how these will ever fit. I kept them for a bit to see if he'd eventually grow into them but it's not a question of that, the toe strap is sewn in the wrong place leaving way too much space up front, even when they fit. Sending them back, don't want to risk trips and falls.

Let me start by saying that I love Salt Water sandals. I've ordered them repeatedly for my daughter and have always been very pleased with the quality, sizing, and style. I ordered a pair of these for my son and they arrived with large flaking cracks all over the leather straps. I spoke with a representative who very kindly and quickly helped me with an exchange. When the second pair of sandals arrived however they had the exact same issue as the first pair. Even though I love salt waters, I think I'll pass on them this time around. Receiving two damaged pairs in a row is quite frustrating!

I highly recommend looking up how to break in salt water sandals and following the instructions before wearing as the shoes are very stiff out of the box. Once broken in however my daughter loves them, she won't take them off! She wears an 8 in Bogs and Stride Rite, but was easily a 7 in the sandals with plenty of room to grow this summer. She has wide feet so the buckle style is a great option.

I unbuckled the buckle over my grandson's instep to loosen it to loosest setting, but he still felt they were too tight. I was considering wetting them and trying to see if they would stretch to fit as the original salt water sandals with crossed straps over instep recommended. That's when my daughter noticed that leather had split just with my trying to adjust them the first time. There were complaints about this happening on Amazon, but we were hoping this might be a counterfeit problem, so we decided to try ordering from Zappos. Seems to be a problem for this color/type of sandal.

Love these adorable classic sandals. My little girls enjoyed wearing them all summer for dress up and every day play!!!
