Customer Reviews Sanuk Vagabond Sidewalk Surfer

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

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.

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.

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!

Super comfy but also super stinky. I don't usually have smelly feet but these puppies really brought it out, I guess it was to be expected. I feel like you can't wear socks with these as they're not quite shoes.

I have a black pair and green pair, but the black are too hot.

Comfy but sweaty and VERY STINKY - Sanuk is very keen to point out that these are "sandals" and not shoes; however, like all "canvas shoes" and their ilk, these quickly become hot, sweaty and smelly, unlike any true sandal, which never does. I have the "Pick Pocket" model of sidewalk surfers, which are similar. These shoes are extremely comfortable to wear and are well-made, but the "microban" fibers are not doing their job. Sadly, these are not an acceptable daily wear shoe. The smell is intolerable at this point.

This is too long, and terrible for anyone with a high arch.
