Awesome shoe/sandal, great match with jeans. Extremely comfortable, and in some ways they are even more comfortable than flip flops. The only drawback is that even though they have the "portholes", if you are working or doing anything active, your feet will still sweat in them. They are great for just wearing around town, though.
I have 3 different types of the sidewalk surfers now, this one is probably the best when it's warmer, and the most casual of the three. The Chiba style is my favorite, esp. in winter.
SIZING: I went through a lot of returns figuring out that these stretch with wear. I got 10s, then 11s thinking they were too small, then back to 10s. Zappos was hassle free throughout. Order your true size and wear them a few days and they will stretch out. If you size up you will end up having them slip on your heel, which will eventually give you a sore.

I bought these shoes for my boyfriend and he LOVES them. He is a true 9.5 so I bought a 10 and they fit him perfectly. It looks like he has to pull them to get on over his arch and around his heel but he loves them and wears them daily!
Great shoes!

This is the second pair of Sanuks I have purchased for my son. He wears them almost constantly and loves the style. He feels like they go with everything! I think wearing them with socks that don't show is important to prevent smell issues.

The best shoes I've ever had. Without these shoes I don't feel the same. The style and comfort can not be found in any other shoe out there. I love seeing the smiles on the bottom of the shoe and not ever having to wear socks! Just overall the best things I've worn on my feet period

Live these sidewalk surfers. They wear well and last a Long time. I own the pickpocket, twear a 9 1/2, had to order up a 1/2 size. For the Vagabond. Fabric is a little stiffer, but still very comfortable. Easy order and exchanges as well

Love this shoe. Great for the beach, lake, river or whatever! My only issue is that they don't come in half sizes. I am an 8.5 and purchased a 9 but it was way too big, then the 8 was just a tad small but I just fold the back down and use them as a slip on.

These are becoming very popular where I live, so much so I asked someone what they were wearing one day and they told me about these. They looked cool and comfy so I wanted to try them, and am glad I did.
First off, size up these shoe/sandals - they run small. I wear 9.5-10 in other shoes and 9 in sandals and I had to get 11 in these. But thanks to Zappos it was no sweat returning and getting the right size.
Over all these are great. You can slip them on barefoot, like you would a sandal, but they are nice enough to wear in situations where sandals aren't appropriate for guys. They are ventilated so your feet don't sweat, and they feel light and comfortable. Great for wearing with jeans or slipping on for a quick trip to the store in the winter.
The styling is a bit boxy looking, though. A rounded seam would be a bit nicer. I might try another style next time.

Perfect for my 5th grader. He loves the slouchy look. They hold up and are easy to clean.

I noticed that a friend at work always kept these shoes under his desk. I thought they looked weirdly comfortable. I eventually checked them out properly when he wasn't there and checked out the Sanuk web site. I ordered them in Blackout. They are like wearing slippers - except MORE comfortable. I wear them every single day and expect to wear them until they eventually fall apart, They are SOOOO comfortable. The only time I don't wear them outside the house is if it's raining. Now I'm looking at Sanuk's boots and thinking of purchasing a pair soon. I haven't been on vacation since I got these shoes but I'd think they are perfect for a beach holiday too.

This is the 3rd pair of these I have owned. I have wide feet and low arches. They are the most comfortable shoes and they cured my plantar fasciitis! The soles will wear out and become more slick. I will keep buying them!

After reading the reviews, I thought that these might not offer enough arch support for me, so, I also ordered some insoles with arch support. Whether I need that or not is debatable, but these are, by far, the most comfortable and convenient, in terms of slipping on and off, shoes/sandals I own. I wear them, of course, to go out, but, I also wear them around the house as slippers. I wish they came in more (brighter) colors. I question whether or not they are "sandals," but irrelevant, they're awesome.

I bought these Sanuks for my boyfriend and it is his third pair. They are super comfortable and surprisingly supportive even though he has arch problems. He doesn't even need to wear gel insoles with these. I also own the same type of Sanuks in women's and they are the best! A must buy!!

My son loves them, wears them almost daily. Typically wears a 10 or a 10.5. Had to move up to an 11.

I finally broke down and asked my wife for only one thing for Christmas; another pair of Sanuk Vagabond sidewalk surfers. I purchased my only pair at 29 Palms Marine Corps Base, CA in 2011 before I executed a year-long deployment to Afghanistan. My Vagabonds have never left my side since to include another two-month and six-month Afghanistan deployment respectively. They are prefect for those walks to the shower trailer in the middle of winter where open-toed sandals/flip-flops just don't cut it. I've done yard work with them to include brush clearing. Alas my first pair now has holes at my big toes. I will still keep using them but I want another pair. I just think Vagabonds are great
