salt water sandals

I love Salt Water sandals. I grew up wearing them (the company is based in St. Louis where I'm from) and have bought a pair (or 2 or 3!) for my daughter and son every summer since they could walk. They are comfortable, look cute with both dresses and shorts, and hold up remarkably well. The leather wipes clean with a little soap and water and the patent leather sandals don't scuff. I wish my kids' feet would stop growing so they could wear them more than one season!

When I was young, they only came in red, white and blue. I love all of the color options now. And because they've become so popular, you can buy them at a variety of stores. Crewcuts is now selling the 'surfer' style in pink, yellow, and orange (I just purchased the orange for my daughter). Zappos has the biggest selection, featuring a new light blue color and silver and gold (I want gold!). Today and tomorrow, Olive Juice has their Salt Water sandals on sale. If you haven't gotten a pair for yourself or your kids, now is the time. Summer is almost here!

I am a HUGE Salt Water fan! I have three pairs of my own---yellow patent, navy and tan. They're a summer staple in my world. They're not nearly as cute on me as they are on cute little kid feet but...

Oh, how we love Saltwaters! My girls get a new pair every spring, and nothing is cuter than little toes peeking out the front. We've never had the same color twice (loved them all); my older daughter has silver this year -- darling!

Save some of James for Mr. W!

Perfect timing! I have been gearing myself up for a day of kids' summer shoe shopping this Saturday. Now I may just do it all online!

LOVE them. They do hold up so well. They pass from daughter to daughter without any trouble. A great investment in footwear for kids (and that is saying something!)

These are darling!! I just wish I could wear them myself!

I get these in several colors for my girls each year and we are in love with them too. Even my middle daughter who has narrow feet & is hard to fit does very well with them & loves them.

meandmyfeet.com have the best prices I've seen anywhere - but only if you're sure of sizing (their return & exchange policy is a pain.)

I just love all of the memories saltwater sandals bring to my mind whenever I see them. I cannot wait to put my baby girl in a pair!

I'm having a very hard time to choose a color for my daughter... they're all pretty. What would be your choice for a 2-year-old girl....?

These sandals are exactly what I want for my little girl. It looks very simple. I've heard that salt water sandals are very comfortable to wear.

Appropriate shoes are the most important element against pain. Choosing the right shoes avoids your feet to become overused, overstretched, or inflamed.

With numerous choices of toddler sandals in stores, it is essential to pick styles that will stay on the feet to prevent injuries. The best sandals will let your toddler enjoy spending time outdoors while protecting their delicate feet and keeping them cool and dry in the heat.
