Hoy Shoe Company makes Salt-Water Sandals and Sun-San Sandals, leather footwear designed for children and families. It was founded in 1944 by Walter Hoy, who began using scrap leather from military boot production to craft sandals during World War II leather rationing. After the war, the line broadened to multiple styles and colors, and three generations later the same designs are worn by women and children whose parents wore them. 

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, the company operates within the retail apparel and fashion sector. Its products address families seeking durable, timeless footwear with cross-generational appeal. The organization maintains a small team, reflecting a heritage-driven niche within the market.
