Since 1944. Still original — the Salt Water Original Sandal for Adults is the most iconic and most heritage-rich sandal in American footwear history, available in seven beautifully considered colorways — Silver, Claret, Gold, White, Rose Gold, Lime, and Olive — in unisex sizing from Men’s 4 / Women’s 6 through Men’s 9 / Women’s 11. From Salt Water Sandals by Hoy Shoe Co. — the American sandal brand founded in St. Louis, Missouri in 1944, originally crafted from leather scraps during World War II rationing — the Original is the sandal that started it all: the most authentically American, most historically considered, and most enduringly beloved leather sandal ever made, still crafted with the same signature buckle strap, woven leather upper, and water-friendly construction that made it an American icon over 80 years ago, at $54.99.

Key Features:

  • The Original — America’s most iconic sandal since 1944 — Salt Water Sandals were born in 1944 when founder Walter Hoy began crafting sandals from leather scraps left over from wartime shoe production. What started as a practical solution to WWII material rationing became one of America’s most beloved and most enduring sandal designs — the Original that has been worn by generations of Americans from the beach to the backyard, from childhood summers to adult adventures, for over 80 years without changing what makes it perfect
  • Signature woven leather upper — the most recognizable sandal construction in American footwear — the Original’s signature woven leather upper is the most instantly recognizable and most authentically considered Salt Water construction — the interlaced leather straps that give the Original its distinctive look, its breathable feel, and its ability to get wet, dry out, and get better with every wear. The woven leather upper that has defined American summer footwear for over eight decades
  • Signature single buckle strap — the most iconic sandal closure in American history — the Original’s signature single adjustable buckle strap delivers the most secure, most customizable, and most classically considered fit of any sandal at this price point — the buckle that has closed millions of Salt Water Sandals across eight decades of American summers
  • Water-friendly leather construction — made to get wet — unlike most leather sandals, the Salt Water Original is specifically designed to get wet — the leather softens and molds to your foot with every wear, the construction dries quickly and evenly, and the sandal gets more comfortable and more personally considered with every summer of wear. The most water-friendly leather sandal ever made
  • Seven beautifully considered colorways — Silver: the most metallically luminous and most versatile Salt Water colorway — the Original that catches the light and pairs with everything. Claret: a rich, deep wine red — the most richly chromatic and most warmly considered Salt Water colorway — the Original for the wearer who wants a bold, deeply saturated color that deepens beautifully with wear. Gold: a warmly metallic gold — the most sun-kissed and most festively considered Salt Water colorway — the Original that brings a warm, golden shimmer to every summer outfit. White: the most crisply luminous and most summery Salt Water colorway — the Original that pairs most boldly with any color and delivers the most classically considered summer sandal statement. Rose Gold: a warmly feminine rose gold — the most softly metallic and most romantically considered Salt Water colorway — the Original for the wearer who wants a warm, blush-toned metallic that pairs beautifully with pastels and neutrals. Lime: a boldly chromatic lime green — the most energetically considered and most playfully chromatic Salt Water colorway — the Original for the wearer who wants their sandal to make a statement. Olive: a warmly earthy olive — the most naturally grounded and most outdoors-considered Salt Water colorway — the Original that pairs most effortlessly with denim, khaki, and any nature-inspired palette
  • Unisex sizing — Men’s 4 to Men’s 9 / Women’s 6 to Women’s 11 — available in M4/W6, M5/W7, M6/W8, M7/W9, M8/W10, and M9/W11 — the most inclusively sized Salt Water Original range available, sized for both men and women in the same sandal
  • $54.99 — over 80 years of American sandal heritage at an accessible price — the most iconic American leather sandal ever made, at the most accessible price point for genuine heritage leather sandal craftsmanship
