I bought these as a replacement for my slippers around the house. I found most styles of slippers are much too insulated for my comfort, and result in sweaty feet after just a few minutes of wearing them. Noting the lightweight canvas material these are made out of I figured I'd give these a shot. I normally wear 11.5, and bought these in 12, and they fit great! They absolutely are much more comfortable and breathable than the slippers I've become accustomed to. Easy to slip on and off too. Only one little nitpick is that the tread isn't exactly the stickiest, so I would be extra careful walking on wet or smooth floors with these. Other than that, these are great slippers!

First, I love these shoes and wear them whenever I can get away with it. They are comfortable, run wide (I usually buy 4E but these are a good fit for me) and make me feel more hip than my 51 years should allow. That said, the soles always wear though in less than a year, and for this model the frayed tops quickly turned into little dreadlocks that I trimmed every couple months. I'll be buying a different style of Sanuks for my next pair.

Love Sanuk. Don’t love that I was sent a size 9 instead the 10 that I ordered. Gave them to my son. Never had a miss pick from Zappos before, I wonder if mediocrity arrived.

For some reason, size 12 felt like size 11. My toe was literally protruding from the end of the shoe.

Runs small. Returning for larger size. Hopefully that will work. Looks nice. Can’t really judge comfort til I get correct size.

love the style. I ordered my regular size 10 and had to send them back, they're a size to small should have ordered an 11, they really run small. I hope this can help you. Have a great day!

Please note the other comments about these being almost a size smaller than you're used to. I normally wear a 12.5 or 13, but I had to get a 14 that actually fit comfortably. Given that, they're very comfy and are about the best slipper-like shoes I own. Lightweight and a little boxy looking, but they're great.

I wear 9 1/2 or 10 so ordered 10. Full size+ too small so excellent return service, got 11's and fit just a big snug but comfortable. I need a soft backed shoe to wear with business casual due to heel spurs and this is one of few I found that didn't break the bank. Not quite as dressy as I'd like but less heel pain, who cares. Put some Dr. Scholl's inserts in to provide more heel and arch support and very, very comfortable. Don't really like tapered (rounded) front but it is the way feet are shaped. Definitely recommend ordering one size up to avoid return.

Easy slip on and off shoe. No real support, but they are great for casual wear. Only reason I stopped wearing them was because I had no tread left on the sole, but I got a few years out of them. Great shoe.

Definitely go up if you are a half size. I wear size 9 1/2 and got 10. Absolutely perfect fit. Not much support, basically just covered flip flops. Perfect summer shoe for the beach and pool and just casual occasions.

I ordered a size too small and had them exchanged for one size up. I found the tracking to be a bit vague and had to call to make sure my return was received. Otherwise, I really like the product.

I wanted a slip-on shoe to wear after my race events. I bought a Women's slip-on (a size bigger than what I normally wear because Sanuk does not make Wide Width) but it didn't fit. I ended up buying a Men's slip-on. The Vagabond was very tight at the top at first but I read the Q&A and reviews, etc and it said that'll stretch "a bit" as you wear. My concern is that what if it doesn't stretch enough and I need to return it. Policy says return shoes must be "free of wear and tear". I initially wore my shoes indoors to help with the stretch but ended up using a show stretcher. It's much better now. Also because of the material, you cannot just slip into the shoe. Comfort beats this minor inconvenience. I wear these shoes everyday.

Though comfortable when wearing, one is difficult to put on, and I've never had this issue with any other shoe.

I tried commercial inserts to improve the arch support and cushioning. Unfortunately the result was irritation on the small toes of each foot as the snugger fit produced rubbing. I've gone back to unmodified and the irritation stopped. I didn't have that problem with my old Rastas with the cushioning inserts. Unfortunately my dog mistook my Rastas for new chew toys. All in all I'm still happy with the Vagabonds.

My favorite shoe, I have over 10 pairs, and still buy them, I wish they still had the Donnie but alas they quit making that style 5-7 years ago.

Very comfortable. Even without socks. And if your feet stink, then toss these shoes in the laundry.
