Review on Original Toddler Boys' Salt Water Sandals in Sandals by Rick Rogers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect summer shoe - terrible packaging

We loved these sandals. They are super durable. I buy them for my kids every other summer - the first summer I buy them a size up and they last two years (and would have lasted a lot longer if they hadn't outgrown them). We've walked miles in them and used them in lakes and rivers. My kids have used them as water shoes and they don't fall apart at all. I have a pair for myself and have also used them in the water. They stretch after being fully submerged, but not enough to ruin the fit - mine felt a little looser after being fully submerged and then going, but not enough to justify buying another pair ( so if they arrive and feel a bit tight - maybe try submerging and then walking around in them until dry.) As for the fit, I went to the Saltwater website and used their calculator to find out what size I needed for my kids, it was very helpful. I love the colors available. We've tried gold, tan, navy blue, and rose gold and they all look amazing. I will wear these shoes for my kids as long as they let me - they are the perfect summer sandals! A small note on packaging - when I've ordered them in previous years they came in a box and arrived in perfect condition. When I ordered them this year (June 2018), the shoe boxes arrived in one package and were completely disassembled. It's good that the sandals are so hard-wearing, otherwise they would be completely destroyed. Shoe boxes were crushed and torn, and the sandals floated in the bag by themselves. Big disappointment. Five stars for the shoes and minus five stars for the packaging (and this is the first time I've cared enough about the packaging to mention it - sometimes Revain's packaging is great, sometimes not so much, but this one At times it was really terrible). Photos are attached.

Pros
