Product Description
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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was nervous having never tried this brand before, and I knew I needed some kind of comfortable sandal for this trip. I followed the reviews and soaked the sandals in hot water and then wore them until they dried the day before my trip. I then crossed my fingers and went overseas with a pair of new shoes.
They have been perfect since day 1. Every morning when I put these sandals back on, it’s like wearing a pair of old friends (or something). They have molded to my feet perfectly. I have worn them right into the ocean and they were just fine. I have done light hiking over rocky dirt roads and they were just fine. And they are cute!
I have wide flat feet and the width of these sandals is a godsend. Usually sandals start to strangle my feet after a day of swelling after walking around in the hot sun but these have been so, so comfortable. I usually wear a 6 or 6.5 and a 6 fits me perfectly.
The only downside I have found is that these are not supportive, they are completely flat soles. By the end of the day my feet are a little tired, but at least they are not in pain. These shoes are for sure my 100% go-to sandals.
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.
