Sizing
All sizes listed on this website refer to Salt Water and Sun-San sizing, which are unique to our brands.

Please refer to the size guide chart below or here, before placing your order. Please note this chart is a guide only.

As with all shoes, it is best to have your sandals fitted as all feet are different and everyone prefers to wear their sandals differently. Please see a list of our authorised stockists here.

Our kids range consists of infant, child and youth sizing. The drop-down size menu on each product page begins with the smallest size at the top and the largest size in the kid’s range being at the bottom of the drop-down menu. The kid’s range can be found here.

The adult range begins at a youth size 4 which is US Women’s 6 (EU 36) and ends at a size 9, US Women’s 11 ( EU41-42 ). You can shop our adult range here.

Please refer to the measurements below if unsure of your size, noting that these measurements are averages of our range. Please do not purchase FINAL SALE items if you are unsure of sizing as FINAL SALE are not eligible for return or exchange. We are here to assist if you need help finding your best size.

Salt Water Adult sandals: are manufactured in traditional US men’s sizing. For US Women's sizes, please go up by two sizes. For guidance, please refer to the size guide above.

Salt Water Infant, Child and Youth styles: The US size is one size up from the Salt Water size given on the bottom of the sandal.

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. 

    We know it can be confusing, so if you are unsure about sizing please contact us at hello@saltwatersandals.com.au or +61 2 9939 4937

    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.
