The history and market of saltwater sandals

Saltwater sandals are quickly becoming a popular type of footwear. They are sold primarily in markets in the southern and western United States. These sandals are made from specially treated natural leather, evident in their “interlink” strap and adjustable buckled straps around the ankle.

The birth of saltwater sandals was in the early 1940s, presenting themselves as a good alternative to the traditional leather sandals worn by children. This is due to the shortage of leather during World War II. They solved this shortage by making children’s sandals out of scrap leather from leather boot factories. Although originally conceptualized and manufactured by the Hoy Shoe Company in St. Louis, Missouri, there are also saltwater sandals made in China.

The Shoe Company Today
The original and classic designs of Hoy Shoe Company’s saltwater sandals are double stitched and molded from vulcanized rubber. These come with adjustable straps for narrow to wide fits, and to fit infant to tween sizes.

The trending market
For more than 60 years, it has remained a summer benchmark in children’s footwear. The latest design is the Sun-San Saltwater Sandals for women from Hoy Shoe Company. The fashion editor of New York Magazine, Sarah Bernard, even made a comment on November 2, 2007 about it. She criticized saltwater sandals as an “emerging ugly shoe trend for 2008” while comparing them to Ugg boots and Crocs.

Amid criticism, it remains one of the extremely popular modern sandals made from very durable materials. They do not wear out easily and have proven their worth in terms of quality. It is a bestseller among parents. In fact, they are no longer confined to the southern and western US markets. They are now supplied globally due to high customer demand.

The sandals are not only made of natural leather, but their buckles are made of stainless metal and brass material. They are sold in various colors such as white, navy blue, brown, orange and pink, red, yellow as well as fuchsia, black and green.

The latest addition to its genre is the new Shark 11 Saltwater sandal in Crazy Horse Color. Its design is like that of a fisherman made of durable cowhide. It has a molded EVA sole with long lasting yarn action on the bottom of the sandal as well as a cushioned insole. It has extra fabric and a comfortable molded strap at the back to reduce sweating and odours. It has sizes for tweens, toddlers, and babies.

Infant sizes are 3 and up, depending on build; and up to size 13 for tweens. For adults, women would range from a size 5 and up.

Saltwater Sandals Tips
When wearing a new pair of saltwater sandals, it’s best to loosen them up, especially with the straps. You can do this by placing your thumbs inside the straps and pulling them to the sides. In this way, the interlocking leather straps are stretched. After this, hold your sandal in your palms and start squeezing the sides together, hollowing out the inner section of the sandal. In this way, the belts are flexed and prestressed.

Saltwater sandals just look too tight when new. You may need a short “break-in” period. After a while, it will adapt to your foot.
