I had wanted these for several months so finally bit and ordered. They are fantastic! I am a pretty solid 9.5 so in these I ordered the Big Kids8/Women’s10. They’re a perfect fit, a size bigger would probably make me stub my toes and fall. I cannot believe how good they feel and I am for sure ordering more.

I have worn the traditional salt water sandals for years and years, but felt like I needed more support so tried these with a thicker, more supportive sole, and they seem great so far (but haven't worn much yet!). I went a size up because the across the upper/vamp was tight, but may stretch out over time (I just didn't want to wait :) ). Very cute!

Bought 2 Swimmer pairs in Red for my growing kids, who have been wearing these since they were toddlers. They are so excited that Saltwater finally makes the Swimmer in adult sizes, and I might finally get a pair too!
Big Kid/Adult sizing seems to be true to size.
Tween wears a women's 6 shoe, we ordered these in Big Kid 5/Women's 7 and they fit perfectly with a bit of room to go.
Teen wears a women's 8.5/9, ordered hers in Big Kid 7/Women's 9 and they fit perfectly.
**Much more true to size than the Little Kid version, which in 10 years of purchasing them, consistently run at least one full size larger if not 2 full sizes larger.**
Quality looks to be the same as little kid versions...meaning these will outlast their growing feet.
SO darling, comfortable, and just as versatile as Chaco or Keen type river sandals, with bonus points for style.

Love these so much, just bought my second pair. I took them to the beach and wore them in the ocean and all in the sand. They wipe right off and look like they’ve never been anyplace but church. I’m mostly a 9.5 in women’s, the Big Kids 8/Women’s 10 is a perfect fit.

Love these. I was a big fan of the original Salties, but the thin sole made it uncomfortable for lots of walking. This thicker sole makes all the difference by adding cushioning and reducing the amount of “ground” that you feel when you walk. And the fact that they are non-slip now is huge!
They looked super narrow when I pulled them out of the box, but my standard way of breaking them in worked like a charm. I wiggle my feet into them, soak them down in the shower and then wear until they are dry. Repeat as necessary for no blisters and a custom fit.

These are the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever worn. I bought them in 3 colors. I love that my daughter and I can match. So cute!

I love them but you should order a size up. I normally wear a 7 but should have ordered an 8 for a little room.

I wear a size 8.5/39EU. I am a wide width (narrow heel), and have difficulty finding sandals that accommodate my very wide forefoot. I ordered these in a size 6 (women's 8). They are perfect. I have had the regular Saltwaters for years and always envied the children having cushion in their Saltwater sandals! I have ordered two pairs in the last month since I am so HAPPY with the extra cushion! They mold perfectly to my feet and I appreciate the lack of stitching on the insole so my toes are not irritated. Will buy up two more colors each year until I have them all! Thank you Saltwater and Zappos! Dream sandals!

These sturdy sandals are surprisingly comfortable. The thick sole is hard, but provides adequate cushioning for walking around town. They tend to squeak a bit, but will shape to your foot when you get them wet.

I thought size 9 might be too large, since I usually wear 8 1/2. As it happens it's perfect. I'm thrilled to have such a great looking sandal that is also such a great water shoe.

I wore saltwaters as a kid and continue to find them comfortable as an adult. I have flat feet and some sandals that have a pronounced arch (like Chaco and Vionic) hurt my feet if worn for a prolonged time. These sandals do not. These are my first saltwater sandals with the rubber sole and they do have a give that adds a spring to your step. I would buy these again.

Comfortable with a softer footbed than classic saltwater. Cute too.

I had been admiring these on my friend and finally decided to get them. They're really comfy! I ordered a size 9 (my usual) and they fit great. I have a bunion so it's nice to find a summer sandal that doesn't draw attention to it.

These are amazing sandals. I have sensitive skin and get blisters or raw spots easily but not with these! I have walked miles in them in hot weather and no issues. They are true to size. I am typically a 6.5 or 7 with a slightly wider foot and narrow heel and the big kids 5/womens 7 is perfect. I ran them under water before wearing them and then put them on wet and wore them until they dried . This is recommended by the company that makes them and it may be the reason they broke in and didn’t cause me blisters. I will definitely get these or one of the other styles again. I have gotten complements on them too! I ordered the rose gold and it works as a neutral.

These sandals are worth the price. They can get wet without damage, are comfortable, and last. Buy them, you won't regret it.

These sandals are worth the price. They last and are super comfortable. Not only that, but you don't have to worry about them getting wet whether at the beach or pool.

These were perfect for my 12 1/2 year old daughter on our beach vacation. They looked appropriately dressy with a dress for going out to dinner, while being very comfortable and functional. I may order a pair for myself!

The sandals were of good quality. Unfortunately the size was too big so we had to return them. I purchased them for my granddaughter.

These are the best sandals ever. I wore the regular Saltwaters for years before discovering the extra support ones and now they are the only sandals I wear! So comfortable right out of the box, I can wear and walk in them for hours.

Looking for a beach sandal and came across these. Size was just right, used the chart to decide. Will take them on my next beach trip!

These are so much more comfortable than the flat-bottom sandals that I originally tried. And they’re still cute.
