Questions & Answers

Does this pair of sandals have a flexible sole?

Generally, I would say no, they aren't really flexible but can bend a Those shoes have been worn by my girls for years, and they find them comfortable.

Can you tell me how to measure the length of my 8 month old's feet? Is it better to get a larger or a smaller size?

Can you tell me if I'm right Make sure they are using the correct Web size. If you want you can also find Toddler shoe sizing information on the internet.

Do these products have waterproof properties?

This pair of shoes was worn on the beach by my 2-year-old all summer. During the summer, we don't even take them off when she is in the water (a lot) and they continue to be in great condition. Each day we spend at least part of it at the beach. Basically, they act like leather boat shoes (docksiders), except that they get a little stiff in the salt water and can withstand it just fine. In this year's Christmas shopping we will buy another pair!

You should be careful when you buy
3/5

Make sure you're being careful when you buy! You won't find any authentic ones here. In addition to SWS for my daughters, I also own several pair of SWS. There are differences between the authentic pairs of size 13 and the other two as shown in the photos. An inscription is present on the bottom of the box, but it does not mention patent pending or size. The label inside is thin and barely visable, when compared to the others. There is also a difference in the color of the box. Rather than feeling rubbery, the bottom is made of plastic. "Leather" printed on a computer system is extremely smooth, and does not have any texture like the real stuff. On the fake ones, the inside of the straps feels more like compressed paper than leather.

The quality of this product is poor
4/5

I have a daughter who had a pair of these sandals last year and she loved them. Despite washing them several times, even after wearing them all summer, they held up well. Our experience with this year's white pair actually differed drastically from last year's. Only a few times of wearing the sandals caused the white leather layer to separate from the lower layer. It is now flaking away to the extent that she is unable to wear the sandals anymore due to the separation of the white layer. Our sandals will no longer be available to us for return after 3 days have passed. The best course of action is to steer clear of I have updated the report Company representatives confirmed that we probably received a defective pair as they are not supposed to fall apart in such a short period of time. Within two days, he sent us another pair. It certainly appears to be a better quality pair, so we will see how they hold up in the future. Despite that, it seems as though the company stands behind their product and had great customer service with real people answering the phone instead of machines.

The materials used for this project are poor
4/5

In this review, I am mainly concerned with the dark brown ones. Despite the sandals being comfortable and my daughter enjoying them, we have only used them intermittently for a couple of days. It is only 5 months after they were purchased, and they are already severely worn. Numerous places on the sandal show where the white suede interior of the leather has separated from the dark brown exterior. There are chunks of the dark brown leather that have come off and cracked all over the sandal, revealing the light color and white In the past, I wouldn't have mind the sandals if they had been $5 from a superstore, but as it stands now, the superstore sandals we bought her last summer lasted longer than the Salt Waters. It was only a matter of time before the soles of those wore out. While the Salt Water Sandals' sole looks like it will last a long time, the rest of the sandals aren't going to last that long. This dark brown material is extremely cheap. For our other child, we bought a different color and it looks like I will get better wear out of it, but she is also a little less frantic with Dark brown may not be the best choice - other colors may be better options. It feels good to have sandals that last, but I'm not willing to pay more for them since cheapo sandals from any big box store will last longer. *Edit
The company sent us a new pair of dark brown shoes that seem to be holding up much better (so The customer service was great, prompt, and we learned that there was a problem with the shoes we received earlier.

The design is cute, practical, and comfortable
5/5

The ones I got for my one are really cute. They're pretty much always on her body, and she wears them all the time. He loves them and gets compliments on them. The best way to get the leather to soften and form to the foot is to soak it in warm water for 10 minutes or so, then strap it to your kid for a while. the size guide on their website, and these worked out just fine. The toes have some room to grow, but the socks aren't too big to make her.

3/5

One of our favorite items. I love to buy neutral colors for my daughter. They hold up well and can be passed along A new update has come in and I have had to contact Hoy's customer service due to the strap at the toe coming off. They were so good to deal with when my son's pair also rented a car at the end of the summer. It happened in August) before we packed them away for this coming summer, so I am concerned this is a reoccurring issue, and I can't recommend these as tried and true durable sandals- A lemon pair may have been the only explanation. They got the product information for my son's pair by writing on the interior of the strap, while my daughter's has no such mark on the interior of the strap. Therefore, I believe these fakes I bought from Amazon are not authentic. I'll let you know once I hear what Hoy has to say about the case.

I have never seen a better pair of kids sandals
5/5

A pair of these is the second pair I have purchased. It lets my daughters play hard all day long. They make use of them as much as tennis shoes and are able to run in them as well. Now my youngest wears one of the first pairs I bought, and it is still holding up very well! The set is perfect for casual play or at the end of a dress if you want a casual look. It goes without saying that they are very durable and they look good too. We've worn them on the beach and they have held up just fine sand simply falls out. The money is well spent. There is a slight difference between the men's and women's sandals I have. A thicker sole is what makes these shoes so comfortable, as I think it is what gives them their shape. As for Keens, we have only owned those since high school, but they don't match dresses and tend to get sand and junk stuck inside. You may also. The buckles take a little time to get used to but they don't wear out like velcro like other buckles. What I appreciate about these is that my three year old is now able to buckle them herself. That is partly because we own these, so she can practice.

The quality is not the same
3/5

In addition to the United States, Sun Sans now manufactures some of their shoes in China as well. In my opinion, those produced in the US are not as good as those made in Canada. It turns out that these are actually made It is notable they are lighter and they are rougher on my daughter's feet as the edges of the leather remain sharp. In addition, the leather is thinner and of lesser quality than the leather used in the US. Usually, I shop for my sun sans at a children's shoe store, however due to quarantine I had to shop online I won't do so in the future. My first thought about these shoes would be that they were knockoffs if I didn't know SunSans was manufacturing some of their shoes in China.
