What do you get when you combine a shoe company that named itself after the Thai word for fun, makes their gear from recycled materials, and uses the slogan, “Smile… Pass it on!”?
The best gift you’ll ever give your feet, that’s what.
Founded by Jeff Kelley, a Southern California native, Sanuk shoes are footwear designed with the global outdoor community in mind. But here’s the real deal: once you put them on, there’s no going back to any other footwear.
And here’s why.
One Toe Does Not Fit All
Because no toe is equal, they design their toe posts to fit long, stubby, wide, or narrow toes. The toe post is positioned so the smoothest part is always against your toe. This equals long-lasting comfort.
Dig the Durometer
A durometer measures a material’s degree of hardness, and this tool allows them to create super comfortable footbeds that will last and last (as will the comfort).
Look Great and Function That Way
They have fun and unique designs, using materials such as yoga mats and indoor/outdoor carpet. Their Sidewalk Surfers combine a shoe upper with a sandal bottom, allowing wearers to be more energy efficient by engaging the whole foot, and to better absorb shock. Like barefoot running shoes, the Surfers naturally strengthen the muscles in your feet, support your arch, and improve your balance.
Power Balance Technology
Power Balance Technology improves balance and coordination, strength, endurance, flexibility, and range of motion, all while restoring harmony to the body. Look for it in the Yogi Thong and Yoga Mat.
Walk Like You Mean It
Say goodbye to stubbed toes; their thongs have a slight upward curve at the front, adding comfort and preventing that flip-flop trip. With Barefoot Un-Technology, they’ve created flexible footbeds that allow your feet to bend naturally when you walk, with secure straps preventing the possibility of tripping.
They Don’t Stink
Literally. With AEGIS antimicrobial additives, they’ll stay as fresh as the day you bought ‘em.
They’re For Everyone
Kids. Men. Women. Vegans. And the many awesome athletes they sponsor like surfer Donavon Frankenreiter and rock climber Chris Sharma.
They Cause a Healthy Addiction
If you’re going to be addicted to something, it’s good to choose something that looks awesome, will last a long time, and are well-priced.
Great for body and sole.
