The Swimmer design is based on the original Salt-Water featuring a plaited leather upper with buckle ankle strap. The differences are the Swimmer has a slightly narrower fitting and, like all Sun-San Sandals, the Swimmer comes on a spongy urethane sole with rust proof buckles. They can also be worn in the water and can be handwashed with a gentle detergent. The Tan Swimmer is a classic summer sandal, great for little boys and girls.
