My old pair of the same shoes/size fit perfect. However the new pair I ordered are way to small. Also the stitching around the toes on my new pair (not worn) are already messed up. Pretty disappointed.

Was very disappointed when I couldn't get them on because they were a size too small. Really like the style and color, was exactly what I was looking for it they had fit.

This fabric in the grey is different than the others. Wish they were the same material as the others

This is not the same product like it used to be. The upper material is of different quality, it's more rigid, less flexible and have a significantly different shape cut on the front. It looks like that the change in design and quality happened after moving production from China to Vietnam. These new Vagabonds are less comfortable and feels pretty smaller in size. This is a move in wrong direction. Very disappointed... Bring us back good old Vagabonds!

Sanuk appears to be having a quality control problem. I ordered the same foot ware in grey and it fits great. I've tried to obtain it in black on 2 occasions, but they don't fit. Even the 2 in black are different.

Love the comfort, style, and fit. Do not love the fact that these wore out so quickly. Sole edge developed holes and gaps.

I've owned a pair before but I don't remember them being as stiff as my new pair is when I first got them. I'm hoping over time they will break in. I don't wear them out much, mostly around the house as slippers.

I wear these shoes everyday all day. They are the only shoes I buy because they are so comfortable. They do fall apart really fast and are very expensive for not lasting very long. I have bought at least 10 pair in the last 3 years. Unfortunately I would not recommend these to a friend because they don't last and are over priced. They should cost as much as a pair of flip flops.

My husband loves his Sanuks, but style/color ran small. Not sure if it is because of the material or if the style has changed. Overall though, he loves his Sanuks!

Returning for size 13 to get length right. But concerned that 13 will be too large in opening --heel slip --- Been wearing Sanuks for years. So the problem isn't with me. The return labels that print off from website cover return postage. That helps.

I own or have owned at least eight pairs of Sanuks. I have loved most of them. With that said, this is now the second pair that the sizing was off. In the case of this pair they were at least a full size too small. Yet I have owned at least one other pair of Vagabonds and they fit perfectly. I am really starting to wonder if Sanuk has quality control problems.

My husband admired a friends on vacation so I immediately ordered a pair for Fathers Day. Came in plenty of time, ordering from website was easy. When he tried them on they just felt very snug. He's always a size 11. I'm afraid a full size bigger is going to be too big.

I love them but they are way to big. I originally got a size 11 when I received them thought they where to tight so I called and a lady said to go to the next size a 12 so that's what I did and after 2 days of wearing them they got loose and now they are way way to loose. I wear a size 11 with everything and thought this would be interesting to wear 12. So now I have a pair of really comfy oversized sandals.I love them but not very happy that I sent my 11s back ugh

Good product, like the way it looks but the sizing chart they issue sucks so instead of wearing them how I'm suppose i have to step on the heel and wear them like sandals

The material is more stiff then previous pairs and it's cut weird so it hurts my toe. It feels like theres something inside pressing and the cut is off. It's my fourth pair of twelves and all the previous ones fit fine. This is my second bad experience in a row as i just purchased another pair of off shore or something like that and they tore up in a week. They said i can send them back and they'll decide if they're defective but it's quite a hassle.losing faith...

I ordered a size 14. When they arrived, they felt just a bit too small, especially with socks. I decided to keep them and wore them out on a warm day (81 F). The left one felt great, but on the right foot, I got two blisters. This is a shame since I like the style so much. Before this, I tried looking for a larger size and could only find a 16. 15 would have been perfect. This is a warning for all big-footed men out there, Sanuk runs small, and it's very difficult to find your size especially if you run in between them. Be warned.
I'd also recommend:

My husband needed some comfy casual shoes to wear around the lake this summer. We ordered these, along with 2 other styles of Sanuks -- all in size 10. They arrived in just over 24 hours which was fantastic! Unfortunately, this pair was smaller than the others, so they will be going back.

I bought this shoe last spring and wore it at a moderate rate over the 10 months of 'sandal' weather here in Georgia. It's a relatively comfortable shoe that has a nice style. It's a nice slip on good for those moments where you're not keen on wearing flip flops or sandals. They are true to size. You may think the size you want is a bit tight, but the fabric will relax over time. If you are a half size, I suggest you round up though. That's about it for the positives. The shoes run wide, which is good for my wide foot but may turn others away. Feet tend to get hot in them, so people with sweaty feet will want to steer clear. The whole 'anti-microbial' coating does nothing for odors either. I found myself using Goldbond powder in them to cut the odor (which actually worked quite well). While comfortable, there's little arch support to be found and after walking for a bit in them, you can really feel the lack of support. Also, with the moderate wear over 10 months (think 2 or 3 times per week with moderate walking) the soles have already worn down to flat surfaces in the pressure spots (ball of the foot, heel). Not that they had great traction before, but now it's basically nothing. For the price, I would expect the shoes to last a few years and not less than a year with once-in-a-while wear.

Well, let me just say, I bought these for my boyfriend and they were great, stylish, comfortable as all get out, but then the stench set in! I'm not sure where he went wrong, but the shoe ended up having to be tossed as the scent, we shall call it, lingered. Sad, but true. It had not happened with other shoes and did happen to me as well with my women's version. We tried!
