Customer Reviews Sanuk Beer Cozy

Something has changed here. I finally wore out my 3 year old Beer Cozy's. However I loved them so much that I wanted to replace them with an identical pair. I popped over to Zappos, found my size and color, and submitted the order. However when the sandals arrived, they are noticeable different. Though I ordered the same size, these new ones are a bit smaller. The strap is a bit tighter. And the footbed is not nearly as comfortable. When I compare the sandals I got to the picture here, I can see differences. Not sure if I got a dud pair, or if Sanuk changed the configuration. However these will be going back to Zappos.

Very narrow. Excellent quality but very narrow.

I ordered a larger size replacement for a size 10 pair of Sanuk beer cozy sandals that I had purchased in 2012 and to my horror my new size 11 pair of sandals is 1/2" shorter in length than the old pair of size 10s. How is this even possible??? My wife has experienced the same strange 'shorter' new sandals with her recent Sanuk purchases. WTF Sanuk???? Now I need to exchange them- what a pain.

Quick review: These were my favorite sandals, but the quality of this product has diminished since I bought my first pair around 4 years ago and I'm not sure if I would buy them again. Also, buy them a size smaller because they run a little large. Long review: I first purchased a pair of Sanuk Beer Cozy sandals about 4 years ago. They were the most comfortable sandals I had ever owned and couldn't have imagined buying a different kind of sandal ever again. I lost that pair and replaced them. The new pair (purchased 2015) didn't have the same comfort level I had experienced with my previous pair and the thong part broke within a couple months on the right side. I figured it was too late to do an exchange and I fixed it by taking a nail and running the thong part through the bottom and Gorilla gluing it. Fast forward to now- Zappos sent me a coupon and I figured I better replace the ones I fixed in case my repair didn't hold up. The comfort level of the sole was even less than the pair before it. In the end I can't complain about getting my newest pair for practically nothing, but if I had spent full price on these, I would've returned them and looked for something else.

The rigid, plastic straps do not have any give which makes them uncomfortable flip-flops with a poor fit. They are going back...

Really liked my old ones better. The new ones are not turned up in the front as the picture illustrates. My old ones are and I like that feature. Need to place new pictures in catalog & on website.

I'm a woman but generally prefer mens flip flops because they have wide bands that are way more comfortable than women's flip flops. Also, they're a little wide and usually have thicker soles for added comfort. Men don't mess around with uncomfortable shoes! I had high hopes for these flops during my pregnancy as I'd heard they were super comfy and had great support. Ordered my normal mens size, an 8, and they were too short and felt tight on my foot when mens flops are usually very loose. Giving these a second chance with the next size up...hoping they fit.

My wife says the base is made out of yoga mat material. I wear my sandals in the water a lot and according to my wife these will absorb water. Also, I felt the toe was not comfortable in the shoe and that there was a lot of material in the front but not enough in the back.

The comfort and style is fine until you get near water. Once wet, the spongy sole begins to create foam. Looks like you just went through a car wash. The front is a bit too flexible as I have rolled down the toe tripping as the toe hung up on something. The spongy sole also makes the ball of my feet feel like it was being pitched or rubbed on long walks. Looks great. Function is not as good as I hoped for the price. I have done better with a pair from Walmart.

No doubt you're buying this shoe for the comfort. But the concerns about getting wet are legit. If you want the Sanuk comfort in a style that's a little more suited for dealing with moisture, try the Digeridude which is actually a nicer looking style and still plenty comfortable.

The style and sizing were great, but ultimately painful. I slipped them on and walked around the house for a few hours and I loved them. At some point, I realized that the left shoe was not as fully on as the right, so I resituated to make it even with the right and that is when the trouble began. It was uncomfortable in the new spot, actually painful in my heel, but being brand new, I just kept wearing them, inside and outside, for a week, waiting for that left shoe to improve, but it did not. I gave them a rest for a few days, hoping they would reform to their original position, but they did not. They were stuck and giving them a week off has not helped. Now they are expensive paperweights. So, for better or for worse, they form to the shape of your foot quickly and they are like that for life, so get them on well!

As advertised, this is a very comfortable & cushy slipper. However, the material on the footbed felt mildly, almost imperceptibly, sticky. But with my OCD, it annoyed me enough to return them. (Perhaps I just have sweaty feet.) The stickiness would likely be mitigated once some dust or dirt accumulates. Weight: With the added cushion comes added weight. Although it is fairly light for its size, it was the heaviest of the bunch (see below). Styling: as you can see in the images, the heel part of the sole is very thick and rises higher than the forefoot. I prefer a thinner sole without a slope. I found the 'Camo' color option very appealing -- more so than the ho-hum black. Comparisons: I also tried the O'Neill Phluff Daddy 2, Reef Slim Smoothy, and Cobian Floater. My favorite (Phluff Daddy) is much lighter and much cheaper than this Sanuk Beer Cozy. You can find my full reviews on their respective pages.
