Our Salt-Water Original Sandal is defined by its little way hand stitched sole and signature plaited leather upper. All Salt-Waters come with rust proof buckles, can be worn in the water and can be handwashed with a gentle detergent. They go from children all the way through to adult sizes and are the perfect strappy sandal for your summer adventures. As beautiful as they are comfortable and now available in claret leather, a deep burgundy hue to suit all skin tones. The Original is a roomy sandal and 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 - you do not want anyone tripping up! This is the first sandal model to come out of Walter Hoy's workshop in the 1940's. The Original sandal remains unchanged and has been a wardrobe staple in America for generations. Still the Original, still iconic, still a cult classic.
