Sun San FAQs

What is the difference between Sun San and Salt Water sandals?

While both collections share the same heritage craftsmanship, water-friendly leather, and rust-proof buckles, the main difference is in their soles. Salt Water sandals feature a classic, flat stitched rubber sole for a traditional feel. In contrast, Sun San sandals are built on a bouncy, cushioned urethane sole that provides extra spongy support for active, everyday wear.

Are Sun San sandals waterproof?

Yes, these cheerful classics are completely water-friendly and built for splashing. The genuine leather is coated with a special water-resistant sealant, and the buckles are crafted from rust-proof brass. This makes them the perfect, durable staple for Australian summers, whether you are heading to the beach or playing by the pool.

How do Sun San kids' sandals fit?

Sun San kids' sandals are designed to offer a comfortable, supportive fit that beautifully moulds to your child's foot over time. To find the most accurate fit for styles like the popular Surfer sandal, we recommend consulting the on-page size guide. The high-quality leather will naturally soften with wear, ensuring reliable comfort for all their family adventures.

How do I clean and care for Sun San sandals?

Keeping your practical sandals looking fresh is incredibly simple. Just hand-wash them using cold water and a mild detergent, then let them air dry flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid using harsh brushes or leather protectors, as these can erode the sandals' special water-resistant sealant.
