I love Sanuks. I just wish they were more consistent in their sizing. This is one of there models that runs small by a full size. Buy one size larger than you normally wear and you'll be happy.

Bought this product and received promptly. Didn't like the color so returned for another color and was happy. Returning was simple with Zappos return policy. Very happy with Zappos service and breadth of products to purchase. Love shopping there now.

None. Sanuks are the best.

Great shoes have had them for over a year and still going strong despite wearing through the soles. Maybe a time for a new pair. Only downside is the canvas in the rain and wet.

I have very wide feet and these fit well out of the box. Size consistent to what I expect (9). Perfect except for a logo in the sole on the heel that makes me think I have something in my shoe or sock. As if I don't know what I'm wearing? Hard to imagine what the purpose of this is. Hopefully it will wear away.

Was skeptical at first because I really hate traditional sandals. However once I put them on, I hardly take them off. My first pair lasted me over a year, and the only reason I bought a new second pair is because I just like them that much. I did have to do some minor repairs over time to the sole as they wore a bit, but nothing that made them any less functional or any worse looking. I suggest buying them a little tight as the material does stretch a bit with age, but mine only got more comfortable as time went on. My second pair felt way too tight at first, but within a day they were back to feeling like normal. I try and talk everyone into buying them. My wife didn't think she would like them either until I finally found a place where she could try them on. Then she was hooked. I wear them every day for almost every thing I do and I swear they make walking way more comfortable and fun.

I'm on my third pair of these over the last five years or so and I couldn't be happier. There is a breaking in period where the fabric upper adapts to your foot, but within a couple of weeks, these will be the most comfortable shoe you own. Highly recommended for people looking for something similar to a flip flop but with a bit more comfort and style.

Very comfortable, but can be a bit difficult to put on at first. I wouldn't replace them for a pair of flip flops but they do look good with a pair of jeans.

Boyfriend loves these though we had to return the first pair after they ripped in an odd place. Apparently they're difficult to put on until they're broken in. He loves them and continually mentions how comfy they are. Easy return through Zappos too.

I was looking for a new sandal or shoe for the summer; the Vagabond is working nicely. I can wear it with shorts or jeans. I haven't really gotten them wet yet, so I can't report on how they work at the pool. Overall, it's comfortable and easy to throw on.

Great for the beach. I usually wear a 10.5, and if the 1/2 size isnt available, i get the 11. The 11 is actually a little too large, but not bad.

This my second pair of Vagabonds. I love them. They are extraordinarily comfortable. Like wearing a pair of flip flops with tops. Great for spring summer and fall - even comfortable on colder days with a thin pair of socks. If it is hot they can get a bit smelly though. All in all, I highly recommend these.

These are great shoes! My brother and nephew wear them indoors and out! Be sure to order a size up. These run small and I'll be exchanging a pair for a size larger.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. Style is kind of funky but it is like walking on clouds. Love taking these to the beach, or down the street to the bodega. Excellent buy. The soles are soft though so they can scuff or tear pretty easily (hence the 4 stars).

I love Sanuks. They are comfortable and they last. I am giving them four stars because these seemed a bit small. I have this same style in khaki and they fit just right.

These shoes are amazing. They are the lightest, most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. I have scarcely taken them off except for sleeping, bathing, hiking, kayaking or house/yard work they have been on my feet constantly. When they get wet they dry quickly. I'm normally a size 11.5 and I bought 12 which fits great. The only weak spot is I do not find them that good on hard pavement like NYC streets. But better than regular dress shoes for sure. The seams are just starting to fray which looks very groovy. Time will tell when it comes to wear and durability.
I'd also recommend:
vasque hiking boots, nrs kayak booties

These shoes are awesome! The week I got them I did not take them off! That led to the only downfall of them, and that is that they tend to smell when you wear them for a week straight. It is of no fault to the shoes themselves, but it is something to consider.

I normally wear a size 9 and the size 10 is snug. Very comfortable to wear around the house - haven't worn them outside yet. Very good shoe - glad that I bought them.

I bought the Khaki Vagabond Size 11, my footsize is 10 1/2 & I am pleased with how these fit, just enough room to wiggle my toes. :) For slip ons the 11's have amazed me by never feeling like they were going to slip off, they always stay on until I want them off, which is usually when I crawl into bed. :)
..................................................
My first pair. I love these shoes, I mean sandals. I have only had them almost 3 1/2 months and I've already started ordering more, adding other Sanuks to my collection. My Vagabond's are a little worn on the bottom but that is because I wear them all the time. If I had enough money I'd buy one of every style Sanuk makes. Wearing the Vagabond is like walking on air. If I'm walking there is an outstanding chance there are Sanuks on my feet. I think I'm addicted to Sanuk.
..................................................
These sandals will make your feet happy. I mean your feet have taken you this far in life, don't you think you owe it to them to walk in comfort?
..................................................
Bottom Line: I will recomend these to anyone & everyone I know.

I'm SOO glad I bought these! These shoes are the most comfortable pair of sandals I've ever worn. I LOVE these! I bought the Khaki ones, I like the earthy look, I wear them everywhere. I bought the Khaki ones, 11's, i'm a 10 1/2 and they fit a little big but I like em a little big with enough room to wiggle the toes. SOFT foam insole, It's like walking on air, and footsteps are silent. Very smooth walking. Low impact for those with joint pain. Can be worn barefooted or with socks. B/c of the antimicrobial coating, these can be worn barefooted for weeks or months w/out washing depending on how much your feet sweat n stinky they are, but once it needs washing these wash easily with soap n water, either in the shower w/ bar soap or shampoo, in the sink w/ dish soap, or just throw them in the washer. I do all 3. Right now it's December 30, 2010 in North GA and I wear them with socks, I love the CANVAS uppers, b/c my feet never get cold in winter or hot in summer, not even a little. I even wore them in the snow in the front yard and they didn't get cold. Best with shorts or jeans that fit tighter & are not baggy so they don't hang down & drag in the back, but I wear em w/ loose fit/boot fit jeans anyway, just start watching your length from now on if you are going to be a lifelong Sanuker like me. Sanuks are my favorite shoes now, this is the first pair I bought. I've had em bout 3 months now, and I just order some Rasta Wombats, and soon I want to get a pair of Donny's too. The Vagabonds are SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT too! I hope this convinces you readers to buy Sanuks b/c I want your feet to be as happy as the rest of us that are Sanuking around. Honestly Sanuks are the best thing to ever happen to my feet! These were my first, I will continue to buy Sanuks as long as Sanuk continues to make shoes like these Vegabonds. I am surely a life long Sanuker! Thanks duuudes! :) Have a nice day! :)

I ordered these Vagabonds in a size 11, and they work just great, even though they were too big for my 10 1/2, looked like 11 1/2 on my feet but you can't tell. They still fit great, stay on my feet, they never ever feel like there too big or going to fall off or something. I would actually by 11's again, even though I'm sure 10's will fit better, i kinda like the loose fit of the 11's. If in doubt try them out in your local surf shop before you order online. I did. These are SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT too! I hope this convinces you to buy b/c honestly Sanuks are the best thing to ever happen to my feet! :) Have a nice day! :)
