I bought a pair for my DD last year and they were way too big (you couldn't see her toes). She wore them anyways, but I think they will be perfect this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-2713429 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 01:06:57 +0000 tysonja 2713429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Calibee: @pinkcupcake: @PinkElephant: thanks guys! super helpful. i ordered a 4 and that should last her all spring/summer/fall :). xo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-2713427 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 00:07:02 +0000 pinkcupcake 2713427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: size down to 4.

I'm guessing she'll be able to wear them until she's at least a size 6 in other shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-2713274 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 17:19:49 +0000 PinkElephant 2713274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found that the ankle straps on the heart style (at least in the smaller sizes, like 6 and under) is very short....my kids don't happen to have chubby feet or ankles, and I always had it on the last hole!</p> <p>In the adult/big kid sizes I order for myself, I order up (I'm a 7.5 and feel like the 8 fits better than the 7). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-2713272 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 17:16:40 +0000 tysonja 2713272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hey guys... i'm ordering a pair of original saltwaters in tan for my daughter... she's currently between a 4 and 5, but the store online only has sizes 4 and 6. help! which one do i get? :) thanks in advance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1567259 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:27:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1567259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Yes, that buckle style is much better for chubbier feet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1567254 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:26:47 +0000 septca 1567254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spin off from @Rainbow Sprinkles' post - have any of you had trouble with the fit of the traditional Saltwaters? My DD has sort of chubby feet - not really, but they seem to be kind of meaty at the top rather than being really flat... her Saltwaters don't seem to fit at all because the sandal part is too flat. Maybe I should try then type with the buckle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1555348 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 23:58:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1555348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The style with the buckle across the top (I think this style is cutest) doesn't have the narrow fit:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hoy-shoe-surfer-sandal-baby-walker-toddler-little-kid/3287724?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=2375500&#038;fashionColor=Red&#038;resultback=0&#038;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_C" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/hoy-shoe-surfer-sandal-baby-walker-toddler-little-kid/3287724?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=2375500&#038;fashionColor=Red&#038;resultback=0&#038;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_C</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1555347 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 23:57:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1555347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>GET A SIZE DOWN.</p> <p>I have found that the saltwater sandal style that has a buckle across the top fits better if your LO has wide or chubby feet. They are adjustable so they last longer, too, in my opinion. Otherwise, the "classic" style sandal fits a bit tight across the foot. But if your LO doesn't have a wide or chubby foot, they are fine. They stretch out a lot, too.</p> <p>DD wears a 6 (with some room) but hers are a size 5 and she definitely has room to grow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1555292 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 22:16:43 +0000 autumnlove 1555292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big and narrow. Some styles don't work for my toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1555271 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 21:58:27 +0000 Weagle 1555271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just tried on some in the store. They ran big. Also, so e styles fit better than others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1555233 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 21:32:20 +0000 pinkcupcake 1555233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: they ran kinda big for us. Mg 2yo wears a size 6 in stride rites but size 6 in salt waters are pretty big on her. I'm saving them for the summer and hoping she grow into them<br /> By then </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1555184 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:50:14 +0000 MsMini 1555184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good to know, I was thinking of sizing up for him, but maybe I can stick with his current size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1555183 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:49:15 +0000 regberadaisy 1555183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: I bought a pair but they're in LO's room. I'll check them tomorrow but if I recall correctly they seem big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saltwater-sandals-how-is-the-fit#post-1555176 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:41:50 +0000 MsMini 1555176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they fit big, small, average? I am ordering a pair for LO, and we have nowhere to try them on here. For that matter, if you own a pair, how did you find the fit? They don't have 1/2 sizes, so I am assuming I should size up. </p>
