Giveaway: Sanuk Footwear : Sandals & Sidewalk Surfers for Men, Women & Kids (ends 10/10)

Sanuk is a Southern California based footwear company that specializes in comfortable sandals, Sidewalk Surfers (sandal bottoms, shoe upper), and ever-so-unique Tube Flops (tube socks connected to flip flops). Sanuk's extensive product range includes footwear options for women, men and kids. Imagine your whole family walking around in Sanuk sandals... cute!

Besides offering an impressive selection of great designs, most of Sanuk's shoe options are vegan friendly. Yup, not just a few measly vegan pairs but nearly an entire collection full of cute footwear from non-animal sources. Thank you Sanuk!

Here's the deets on Sanuk in their own words: We strive to make products that are as much about funk as they are about function. We’ve found our sandals are happiest when they tread the road less traveled – so we design ‘em accordingly. Because “Sanük” is the Thai word for FUN, our name is also our mantra. Our goal is to provide creatively inspired yet thoughtfully designed products for the global outdoor community…mostly because we’re part of it. Headquartered in Southern California, we are an eclectic little family hailing from Santa Cruz, Seattle, Cardiff by the Sea, the Philippines, Colombia, Hong Kong, and even Papua New Guinea...

Courtesy of Sanuk we were able to try out one pair each of womens and mens Sidewalk Surfers:

Womens Donna Sidewalk Surfers in black, $48


Mens You Got My Back Sidewalk Surfers in brown, $52

I'm a huge fan of the color options and details on Sanuk's footwear. Neutral color combinations make the shoes super flattering and also easy to pair with most outfits. The detailing includes some minor distressing and thread (rather than metal) grommets. The distressing is limited to the sewn raw edges (not on the fabric itself) which gives the shoes a little edge while preventing them from looking too casual. Excellent styles for everyday wear!

When I slipped on my Sidewalk Surfers, I pretty much immediately noticed was how comfortable they were. The flexible sandal bottoms and fabric uppers make the footwear a breeze to walk in with zero need for "breaking in". The shoes are also very easy to slip on which is pretty crucial for a slip on type shoe. I went for a little walk in the park the very first time I wore these and had none of the common slip on issues- no blistering and no feet slipping out of the heels, yay!

Some of my other favorite styles:

Donna Hemp Sidewalk Surfers in Black, $50




Kiss and Tell sandals in black, $30



Standard Plaid Sidewalk Surfers in grey (mens), $55

Cuteness, functionality, and comfort make Sanuk's sandals fun, everyday wear for men, women and children.
