Don’t be fooled by the Sun-San Sweetheart’s cute heart-shaped cut-outs and pretty scalloped edges ... it’s just as robust as all our other styles and can withstand hours of full-on playtime. Fully adjustable, with buckled toe and ankle straps for a comfortable fit, Sun-San Sweethearts are hugely popular and have been spotted on the feet of some high-profile mini fashionistas.
Perfect for the New Zealand lifestyle, Salt Water sandals are crafted from durable leather. They mould to the shape of the foot with repeated wear, a process that speeds up when wet, so they're perfect for wearing to the beach, splashing in the sea, pounding pavements or just hanging out. Best of all, you can throw them in the washing machine when they need a clean, thanks to the non-rusting brass buckles and tough, but flexible soles.
All Sun-San styles: These come in standard US sizing (this is the size given on the bottom of the sandal). The Sun-San Shark is slightly smaller than other Sun-San styles so we recommend you size up in these.
Do the soles of your new Salt Water style sandals seem shorter? The soles of a well-worn pair of Salt Water Sandals can stretch and lengthen at the toes over time, making your new pair seem a little shorter. You will find the straps are in the same location, matching a left sandal with a left sandal or right sandal with a right sandal.
Fit
Please note that Salt Water and Sun-San sandals should fit firmly across the foot on first wear and will gradually adapt to your foot shape. If you experience rubbing/tightness, simply pop your sandals on stand in a bucket of cool water for a few minutes and then allow your sandals to dry while you’re wearing them so that they mould nicely to the shape of your foot.
How to keep your Salt Water sandals looking good…
As the name implies, it’s fine to wear Salt Water and Sun-San sandals in the water (including at the beach, jumping in puddles etc.) and they can be hand washed in cold water using a mild detergent, if dirty. However, be sure to dry away from direct sunlight/heat.
