I own one pair of every size of these sandals from toddler 4 to Big Kid 3. I have 4 kids and I wish I could find a shoe that matched the durability and comfort of these sandals. Several of these pairs have gone through 2 or 3 kids already and have held up. The only color that has given me any trouble is the tan, which tends to peal up before even one summer is finished. I contacted saltwater and they immediately sent me a replacement pair no questions asked. We also own a boat and camp on the beach practically every weekend all summer and the sandals are constantly going in and out of the water.

PROS:
Buckle secure closure
flexible
ridiculously durable
long life
dont get soggy
Always look good

CONS:
Tan peels
Stiff when new(easily rectified by letting your child where them in the bath tub before wearing for the first time)

Just as a side note I also own 2 pairs of these for my self. One black pair and one white pair. One is a size 9 and one is a size 8 but they are exactly the same size.

Sizing: They tend to run big, so if the childs regular shoe size is an 8 you would most likely need a 7 in these.
