As a way to cope with leather shortages in World War II, Walter Hoy started making his sandals using the scrap leather left over from making military boots. Word soon spread and before long, families from all over St. Louis, were asking if Walter could make sandals for their kids. Seventy years on and Hoy shoes’ classic designs continue to deliver durable leather comfort with a fashion savvy attitude. Combined with rust-proof metal tongue buckles the enduring quality & proven heritage of their sandals is unquestionable.
The leather is coated with a water resistant sealant and they mould to the user’s feet with repeated wear. They are great for running in and out of the sea and can be popped into the washing machine; the perfect summer sandal for both wet and dry conditions. A summer staple in America for 70 years, these modern classics arrived on the UK seashore and across during the summer of 2011
