Why Pair Socks with Salt-Water Sandals?
Let’s face it—kids love sandals, but the UK weather isn’t always sunshine and clear skies. Enter: the sock-and-sandal hack. Pairing socks with Salt-Water Sandals kids means:
- More wear across spring and autumn
- Warm toes on breezy days
- Style points for bold, quirky combos
- All-day comfort (no sweaty feet!)
Plus, Salt-Water’s signature rust-proof buckles and water-friendly leather make them ideal for year-round adventures—socks or no socks.

Sock Styling Tips by Season
Spring/Fall:
Go for cosy cotton socks in muted tones. Think oatmeal, olive, or rust to complement Salt-Water’s earthy hues.
Summer:
Stick with ankle socks or go barefoot. If your child still wants socks, try breathable mesh or lace-trimmed styles.
Winter Layering (yes, really!):
With thick tights or wool socks, Salt-Waters can double up for dry days out. Great for fashion-forward older kids!
