Salt Water Original Sandal | How to Spot A Fake

My pair of Salt Water Original Sandals is finally here! I ordered it online via Modern Mama (MoMa) Baby Shop in Cebu because I can't find a single supplier here in Metro Manila that carries the sandals in my size.

The Salt Water Original Pink 888  Php 2,250

The Salt Water Original is the sandal that started the Salt Water tradition. Crafted with a Littleway stitched leather sole, extra-thick high grade leather upper and solid brass buckles, they offer an unmatched level of comfort that will last for many seasons. 

Salt Water's exclusive color bonding process means the color will not wear off like other sandals. All Salt Water sandals are designed to be worn in the water, and can be thrown in the washer. Just hang to dry and they will spring back to shape for a new adventure.- SOURCE

History

Saltwater Sandals originated in the early 1940s as an alternative to traditional children's leather sandals as a way to cope with leather shortages in World War II. The sandals were made primarily from scrap leather left over from making men's shoes. - SOURCE

Salt Water Sandals... Yay or Nay?

Initially, I find the design of Salt Water Original Sandals to be very child-like (well, it was primarily designed for kids- supersized! ; p) but it eventually grows on me. It's a YAY for me!

I have been wearing my pair every single day since it arrived last week. I wear this whenever I do some grocery shopping, when DH and I watched a movie, and I even wore it to a party last weekend. It's very comfortable.

The only downside is that its sole is hard and flat so I can't imagine wearing this for long walks. I have not tested it in the water because I have not been to the beach for awhile. I will update this entry once I do that!

Paying Php 2,400 (including Php 150 shipping) is totally worth it. I want to buy more in different colors if money is no object ; p
