the first model to come out of walter hoy's workshop in 1944, the original saltwater sandal is defined by its little way stitched rubber sole and plaited leather upper. all saltwater sandals come with rust proof buckles, can be worn in the water (even in the sea) and can be handwashed with a gentle detergent. they go from childrens all the way through to adult sizes. they are comfortable, durable and beautiful. yellow is one of the most popular sandals for women and kids. the bright buttercup colour means the sun is always shining when you've got your yellow salties on.
the original saltwater sandal is very roomy. fits comfortably wide. before you put them on for the first time, stretch out the toe straps and gently bend the sole to ease. best fitted with toes behind the stitch line. do not oversize for children with the hope they will last longer.
we recommend going up +1 in the saltwater original.
