Salt Water Sandals

Since 1944 Hoy Shoe Company has been manufacturing quality footwear in St. Louis, Missouri. Their footwear is built to last and has been loved by so many because it’s the next best thing to going barefoot.

As a way to cope with leather shortages in World War II, Walter Hoy started making his sandals using scrap leather left over from making military boots. Word soon spread and before long, families from all over St. Louis were asking if Walter could make sandals for their kids.

The leather is coated with water-resistant sealant and they mould to the user's feet with repeated wear. The brass buckles allow straps to be adjusted for narrow or wide feet. They are great for running in and out of the ocean and can be handwashed with a gentle detergent - the perfect summer sandal for both wet and dry conditions.
