Customer Reviews Sanuk Vagabond Sidewalk Surfer

Great shoes, comfy and unique - I ordered these as an alternative to flip flops - and as something to wear in a kayak. These are unique and comfortable. The look takes some getting used to. I ordered a size bigger than normal as most of these reviews suggest which was a big mistake. They were gigantic and obviously the canvas will stretch.

Sanuk Vagabond - Great shoe and good service from Zappos. Comfortable. Sanuks seem to run "small" for the size of shoe. I am glad I tried one on at a store before ordering online. I am normally a 9.5, but an 11 is a good fit.

Comfortable shoe - Bought these mostly for the summer and because I saw them recommended as a good weightlifting shoe. Extremely comfortable! There is no actual support, so if you're not used to wearing flat sandal type shoes than you may not like them. Definitely are sized small. I wear a 9 and the 10 is still snug. Don't have a pair of socks I can wear with them so they will be strictly sockless shoes. Not sold yet on the style, as they do have a wide look.

Very comfy shoe - You have to take a look at the style, either you love it or hate it. The shoe itself is very comfortable and has quickly taken over as my favorite pair. Size runs small, so get at least 1 size bigger than normal.

Love 'em, though not for everyone - These shoes greatly mimic the feel of walking barefoot. In general, our shoes weaken some of the smaller foot muscles and these are great for re-introducing them to walking and standing. This is my second pair of Sanuk Vagabonds. The first pair held up for over two years (with a little help from super-glue) through long urban hikes and everyday use...seriously. I wore them everyday for two years. They would have lasted longer but I was volunteering with the California State Parks system and cleaning a beach when I took them off and someone else mistook them for trash and threw them away. Anyway, I'd much prefer an open-toed sandal for breathability, but my work prohibits such sandals for "safety" reasons. So I went with the Vagabond, which is both a sandal and closed-toe. When you wear them regularly on a beach, they get wet and then dry again, which helps clean them out. Otherwise, foot sweat just builds up in them with no outlet. Luckily, you can throw these in the washer and dryer with no problems...or just wear them into the ocean. At first, I didn't think they were worth the price, but since the first pair lasted me over two years and I expect to get the same or more mileage out of these, the price isn’t too bad. Finally, they feel about a half size smaller than marked, but they stretch out a bit with use too.

Very nice sandal alternative - These shoes are very comfortable and I dig the look. Unfortunately, overall quality/durability leaves a bit to be desired. The rubber sole hangs over the front, which looks cool, but makes it pretty easy to stub the sole when walking, which in my case has resulted in small pieces of the rubber breaking off. Still, these shoes rock and I definitely plan to purchase other Sanuk styles. On sizing, I recommend going up a half size. I normally wear 11 or 11.5, but the 12 fits nicely.

Kentucky - These shoes are exceptionally comfortable. The only issues I have is that they tend to run about 1/2 size small and after wearing about 4-5 times I noticed a little foot odor, which I never have a problem with. I bought a pair of odor eater insoles and have not had any odor issues and they actually made the shoes even more comfortable.

Nice, but not out of this world. True this is not a magical shoe. I had much bigger hopes for this from all of the reviews and the word on the street. I do like these a lot and the are comfortable. I think they look nice with shorts and are a good choice for a summer shoe. They also work out pretty good for airline travel. Even thought they cost a bit more than I like, I could see myself buying another pair when they wear out. First purchase from Zappos and I have to say they are the best in the business. Overnight for free in these times of high gas prices to the west coast is pretty awesome. Thanks for the great service and I will be shopping here again.

Happy Feet - A friend of mine bragged about how comfortable these shoes are, well, he was right. They fit perfectly, they are comfortable to walk in and they look great with all casual attire.

Extremely comfortable - Very comfortable and convenient. My feet tend to sweat in them, so I think more venting could have helped.

Good shoe! A nice, comfy shoe that looks good with jeans, khakis, shorts. Don't even need socks. They need just a little break-in and then you'll love them!

Minor defect in the right shoe but was able to sew up the issue and bothersome to return. Overall, the fit and comfort was my main priority.

The style and quality is very good but I need to return them because they slip off of my heel. I wonder if they have changed the design or fabric recently.

I meant to order a different pair of Sanuks.

I really liked the style of these shoes. I bought them for my boyfriend. He could not even get them on his foot. They are not made the correct way. Too bad.
