Customer Reviews Sanuk Chiba

Im on my second pair of Chibas. As soon as this pair kicks of to Sanuk heaven I will get another pair. Best footwear EVER when it comes to relaxing and spending your day doing just about anything

I got these to wear while pregnant, but ordered a size too large the first time. (Yes, they're men's shoes, but I hate how girl-style shoes fit, plus my job requires a totally covered foot.) My husband got that pair and I reordered a smaller size for me. That was over a year ago. He wore out the soles walking on rough pavement, but he's hard on any shoes and he had months of happy feet in them before they died. He bought another pair of this brand to replace them. One review stated that the shoes were coming away from the sole immediately after purchase; I can see why he thought so-- there are a sort of drain port which only looks deliberate on very close inspection-- but the shoes have no manufacturing flaws that I could find. I love mine, still going strong with just a little wear on the soles and a spot at the top of my big toe where the nail jabs the shoe, though I have worn them almost every day to work where I'm on my feet the whole shift, indoors mostly. These shoes were the only ones I could get my feet into while pregnant. I am VERY picky about how my shoes fit, and my feet have small heels and high arches and need a large toe-box-- very hard to find comfy shoes! This pair is super-lightweight and flexible, they never pinch or rub, there was no break-in period, my feet can breathe, they have a cushy sole, and they're easy to put on and take off but stay on unless someone flat-tires me. Of course I grew up barefoot so the flat footbed feels wonderful to me but may not be good for others, and if you step on a sharp rock you feel it. I wear these on walks and would be happy to wear them hiking except there's no tread to speak of so they slip sometimes. All things considered, my favorite shoes ever. Definitely getting more when this pair expires.
