Customer Reviews Sanuk Vagabond Sidewalk Surfer ST Hemp

I'm very satisfied so far, let's see how durable they are. And thank you Sanuk for the size selection! I'm 6'3" and life doesn't fit me most times, ha ha. If you ever decide to do "half-sizes", lemme know And I've recently ordered a pair of Tideline Hemp.

I love my Sanuks. I just wish I would've trusted my gut instead of trusting other reviews that said to order on the larger end of things. Didn't realize how large they were on my feet until I had worn them too much to return. I hope to buy another pair down the road that is the right size.

I made the mistake of trusting reviews saying that these ran small. It wasn't until I wore them in for a few days and threw away my packing that I realized that these had loosened up too large for my feet. Buy accurate to size and you'll be good to go!

Good for wearing in the late spring and into summer. Very comfortable, but a little bit snug in fit.

Thanks! There are just great..

I've purchase over a dozen of these shoes. I'm so spoiled that I don't buy anything else.

Had to return. Maybe I have a high instep but I couldn't even fit my foot half way in the shoe. Wear a 11 size. Very thin. Wish they had more room.

I have owned various pairs of Sanuks in some form over the last 15 years, and overall I really think highly of the brand, and the sidewalk surfer concept. The hemp soft tops made a great first impression when I started wearing them in the spring of 2022, but I've been disappointed by the durability of them. I typically put them away when it gets cooler out (in favor of "chill" Sanuks that are better for cooler weather) and when I took them back out this spring, they've spent this entire season falling apart, especially at the heel where the collapsible back is. The idea for the collapsible back was nice, but I feel like it has compromised what has otherwise been another very comfortable pair of Sanuks. I will probably try the "you got my backs" next, in hopes that they will last longer because I have owned Sanuks that have lasted for 5-6 years with the lighter wear that I typically use them for. Overall, I would recommend these, but will caution that they may only last 1 year with heavier wear or 2 years with lighter wear before they start to fall apart at the back.

These shoes are super comfortable, serve their purpose well for travel through TSA and on airplanes, but don't hold up to long walks through airports- so I have no clue how they'd hold up to regular wear. The fabric at the toe has already started pulling out from the soul, and the tread is already wearing out at the ball of the foot. Wont be buying another pair, when they get replaced in a couple months due to fast wear.

Sole should be downsized , cut closer to shoe so it doesn't look like a paddle board

These are a great alternative to flip-flops. Not a shoe to be worn all day.

I've had many pairs of vagabonds but haven't had a pair in a few years. I always buy the men's version in the appropriate size because I like their look better than the women's. This pair causes me to trip over the lip on the front of the shoe and I am concerned that I may fall. This issue surprised me - like I'm walking for the first time. :) Still think they're very comfortable - even if they're dangerous.

Love how these look, but I would recommend buying a size up because they fit fighter than other styles

Due to the extra padding, they fit very tight and are too snug for my liking across the top of my foot. Hopefully they break in some. Definitely not comfortable out of the box like the regular Vagabonds are!

Love the sanuk shoes, I'm not crazy about the new heal idea

Left heel will not stay up

Not for wider feet. Sorry. And a little pricey for the quality. Anyway gonna give to a friend. Too much hassle in returning them.

Just wearing these things two times they've already separated the material from the actual sole of the shoe so I've noticed that the quality is not what it used to be with this company and their products

My original sidewalk surfers are pretty well worn out so I tried replacing them with Hemp one's. This is the second pair I've ordered and have to send back. The uppers are detached from the base in a couple of places on both pairs. You need to look into your QA a little bit. I love Sanuk but my 10 year old one's are better made than these.

It's like walking on paddle boards, you have to trim soles closer to shoe (sides)

I ended up returning them because I did not like the "Earth " color option. I am looking for a light gray and do not see any sidewalk surfers in that color option, other than the pride shoe. I do like that shoe but do not want rainbows on my shoes. I like plain light gray colors without stripes, rainbows or other designs. So unfortunately, am looking at other slip on shoes since Sanuk does not have a color option that I like.

Sanuks are usually my go to footwear. But these missed the mark. The collapsible heel is too soft and wont stay up, making for a loose annoying fit. So they are reduced to slide ons only.
