Sanuk Mens Pick Pocket Sidewalk Surfer | High Rebound Comfort Footbed | Slip On Shoes for Men | Men's Slip-on Loafers

When I bought these, I felt as though I was taking a shot in the dark on whether or not I'd like them or how well they'd fit. I had never tried them on before and it's a good thing I hadn't, because if I had, I would have definitely paid full price at whatever store I found them at. These shoes are ridiculously comfortable! They are extremely lightweight, yet they feel both soft and durable. Quite the paradox. They appear to be really well made. Sadly, Amazon has placed a cap at 5 stars for these shoes, which doesn't do them justice, so I'll elaborate below. I purchased these on a whim to see if they might work as a pair of casual shoes for backpacking around the world. I pack extremely lightweight when I travel. I only carry a 45L backpack (carry-on sized) with me. So for me, luggage real estate is highly valued and respected. I'll definitely be making room for these in my backpack for my upcoming trip. The fit: I normally wear a size 12-13, depending on the brand. My foot measures about a 12.5. I decided to try these in a size 12 and I'd say they fit me perfectly. I also wear a 12 in Nike's and a 13 in DC's. Hopefully that helps some of you figure out what size to order. Also, my heel doesn't slip, which was a nice surprise for this style of shoe. A couple of things worth pointing out: 1 - I think I figured out why these are called the "Pick Pocket" shoes (I imagine they market this...?). They have a pocket in the tongue that you could use to store emergency cash in case you get pick-pocketed. If you look closely at the tongue, there's a pocket just above the green tab, between that part of the fabric and the part just above it. It runs down the top of the toes. It's probably more accurate to say that the tongue itself doubles as a pocket. But you can't feel anything "pocket-like". It's just the natural tongue of the shoe. This is a great asset for anyone traveling. 2 - On the inner side of the pair I received (Nov 2014), there are two sets of eyelets instead of just the one set shown in the Amazon photos. I've uploaded two photos: one that shows the eyelets and another that shows the tongue doubling as a pocket. 3 - Perhaps my favorite thing about these shoes is that the fabric can be pressed down flat and they are just as thin as a pair of flip flops. These would pack extremely well, which comes in handy if you're traveling. Plus, you could wear them in the office with a pair of khakis or jeans and still look nice. They're casual, but not too casual. I feel as though I've stumbled across the perfect pair of shoes. I'm contemplating becoming a hoarder and buying up a baker's dozen of these! OK, not really... but they're that great. I probably will purchase another pair though, just a different color. If you're a backpacker that's looking for something packable, lightweight, comfortable, and appropriate for social events (come on... you know those hiking shoes/trailrunners you have on are ugly, just admit it), then you can't find make a better choice. These are the perfect shoe for you.

I have been wearing Sanuks for years (I had them before they were cool!). The Pick Pockets are my favorite so far and this is my third pair of PPs. Sanuks are the most comfortable shoes on the planet, period. A soft, flat foam-and-rubber sole and a flexible, breathable cloth upper. That's the whole thing. I have very wide, flat feet and normally need to order a size or two up from my nominal size 12M, because shoes are always too narrow and often painful in the arch or toe box. Not with Sanuks. When they first arrive, they're usually just a *little* too snug. I throw them on with some thin socks and go for a walk, and by the time I get home, the canvas (which is just the right balance of flexible-but-sturdy) has already stretched enough over the tight spots that they feel cozy. After a week or so, the soles and uppers have both broken in to my feet, and they continue to get more and more comfortable as they slowly wear out over the course of 18 months or so. (I walk 500+ miles a year over all types of terrain, from sidewalks to pine forests, in these shoes.) When the sole rubber wears through to the foam on the sole, I order a new pair and chuck the old ones out. By then, the uppers are usually a little past their prime in the looks department, though still presentable (and I abuse them). I've never had the uppers wear out, separate or tear on any of the 6 pairs of Sanuks I've had over the years; only the soles, and never without lots of miles. The canvas does continue to stretch slightly through the life of the shoe, and so the fit slowly relaxes over time. Because they seem to mold so well to my feet, though, I don't have any problems with them slipping or flying off, even when sprinting/jumping/climbing. They *are* susceptible to the dreaded "flat tire" attack, a weakness that also makes them easy to slip on and off. I find that more useful than irritating. YMMV. The heels can also be easily folded down flat, turning them into slippers as needed. Pairing them with different socks (or none) makes them cozy in any temperature from a freezing mountain to a summer day in Phoenix. They will NOT keep your feet dry in deep puddles, snow, etc., or provide an aggressively secure grip in slippery conditions. Nor will they provide ankle or arch support. I personally believe this is an advantage since it trains your foot/ankle muscles and reflexes to maintain their own stability. Over time this strengthens the joints and makes you more capable and agile, with or without shoes. Again, YMMV. But as with any "minimal" shoe, if you're accustomed to the protection and stability offered by, say, conventional Nike running shoes, you might want to ease into wearing these for running or trail hiking, etc.--else you might end up with sore feet or a rolled ankle, at first. Just be sensible. I just hope Sanuk doesn't slip from the level of quality I've come to expect from them, something which can happen all too easily as companies get bigger and lose sight of their original priorities. So far, so good, guys!

We have been wearing Sanuks for 10-15 years. They are the most comfy brand of loafer type slip on ever. They do well in the winter or summer. This specific style is so neutral, it pairs with many colors and styles of clothes. My husband wears these on the daily so they last about 18 months with the sole getting thin from daily wear. He still uses the old ones for gardening etc. The material is durable and never separates from the shoe. One negative to mention is that we have goat head thorns in our area so the sole eats those and your foot gets poked through the sole sometimes.

I have had the Croc version for a couple years and they were great as far as comfort and durability but they were still Crocs and looked kind of ratty from the 1st day. I chose these Sanuks because I wanted a new pair of casual shoes but ones I could wear with jeans, khakis or short that would not make me look like a slob. I tried on many models they all felt great but these had the most upscale look. They are actually more comfortable than the Crocs and look so much better. Update 8/16 I have had 3 pairs of Pick pockets and a couple of the models. The pick pocket is by the most comfortable because of the light fabric that is used. They are softer and breath better that other models. My second pair was the sand color which has an even lighter linen like fabric. Now the bad although they are the most comfortable shoes i have owned they start ripping with in 3 months of causal wear even the standard pick pocket fabric tears up quickly around stitching points. If you like the style and comfort and don't mind buying new pair every year i would still recommend.

Comfy for a few hours. No real arch support, but I wear these because you can't go barefoot everywhere.

I ordered a 7 and got an 11 frustrated. These are the best shoes ever so I gave them to a family member so they can love them too. These are the ones they were supposed to replace they do not have the women’s 8/9 so I ordered the men’s 🫩 these are well loved and ready for retirement

Excellent

Size 13 fit perfectly. I usually wear 12.5 wide, and these fit so good.

this is my 4th pairs one of them now for 5 years and still in good shape recommend it

Great shoe. Very comfortable. I ordered a size bigger than usual as they seemed a little tight when I tried them in the store. Turns out I should have stuck to my usual size. Oh well they are still great.

Ich hatte meine ersten Paar Sanuk Sandalen vor ca 10 Jahren in Dubai gekauft und sie getragen bis die Sohlen abgelaufen und mein linker Zeh rausgeschaut hat. Ich trug sie hauptsächlich im Sommer. Im Urlaub auch als „Wasserschuh“ und der Stoff hielt bis zum Ende ohne kaputt zu gehen. Jetzt habe ich mir dieses neue Modell gekauft und kann keinen Qualitätsverlust erkennen. Das sind meine absoluten Lieblingsschuhe im Sommer. Achtung bei den Größen: die Schuhe müssen genau passen. Wenn ich ein paar Nike oder Adidas Turnschuhe MIT SPORTSOCKEN in Größe 41,5 bis eher 42 trage, habe ich bei den Sanuk Sandalen 41, da ich die selbstverständlich OHNE SOCKEN trage!

These were to replace a pair exactly the same that I have worn out over the last couple of years through wearing all the time! I live in Western Australia where its predominantly dry so these get year round wear. They are comfortable, go anywhere, can be chucked in the washing machine, they are fantastic! they take a few weeks to break in and soften up, but as time goes on they feel like your favourite pair of slippers :) these are the 4th pair of Pickpockets that I have bought, also have black and a light brown pair

Comfortable
