They look better on than off. They are simple, yes, but are made out of legitimate shoe-making material (leather) in the good old USA. They are well-made, so last a long time. They are not for wearing to the high powered business lunch, but for weekends and casual offices, they are nice summer wear, and one can wear them walking around for hours without blisters. And they are classic sandals that have been around for quite some time, not foul johnny-come-lately rubber clogs. Hey, don’t knock the Salties without seeing how they look on the feet.

The Salt Water sandals appear to be made in the St. Louis, MO but further research needed to confirm that. I like the red ones, although I think someone always got white for me.

First it was flip-flops, now it's salt water sandals. I pray nightly for the return of the kinder, gentler, and far prettier authentic sandal. If I'd known that stores would suddenly stop carrying them, I would have stocked up on them years ago. Now they are nowhere to be found. SNIFF! Dawn Oh no!

I could even see wearing them myself if they weren't totally flat (I need some sort of heel or I look stumpy; the perils of being short with thick calves).

Then again, I was just starting high school a decade ago. I think these sandals are quite cute but I guess they don't work too well on big adult feet.

They are SO CUTE on small children, but I agree that they do not translate well to adult footwear. I wore white Salt Water sandals every summer when I was a little kid, until I outgrew their sizes.

Most of the rest of the trendy shoes on that list are under $100.
