The Original Salt-Water Sandal is the signature sandal created by Walter Hoy in 1944. This is the mini-me kids version of the Original Salt-Water sandal. The Original Salt-Water sandal for kids features a stitched rubber sole, plaited leather upper and a rust proof buckle. The leather is coated with a water resistant sealant making Salt-Water kids sandals perfect for use in the water. *IMPORTANT* Salt Water Sandals are manufactured in US sizes. The size on the sandal and on the box is the US size. US sizes are one size bigger than UK sizes. For example a UK size 5 is equivalent to a US size 6.
