the new classic saltwater sandals are just as awesome as the originals, with a buckle across the forefoot. they can be worn in and out of the water and will still look as good as new. they have a retro feel and have been worn for over 60 years withstanding a lot of summer fun. they feature brass buckles so they will not rust and a water friendly leather upper and breathable leather lining. the sole is double stitched with a vulcanised rubber outsole. they look awesome with everything!
