Okay, so I’ve been wanting to try out those Sanuk flip flops made from yoga mats for a while now. I’m always on the lookout for comfy sandals, especially ones that are good for your feet. Heard a lot of good things, so I figured, why not? Today was the day I finally gave them a shot.
First off, finding the right size was a bit tricky. They are pretty narrow. I usually wear a 9.5, so I ordered a 10. When I tried them on at home, it felt like my feet were just barely fitting on them. I thought about ordering an 11, but went with a 10. After receiving them my feet were covering the whole sandal from front to back. I’m thinking maybe I should have gone a size up.
I started by just wearing them around the house. Gotta say, the yoga mat material is no joke. It’s super squishy and cushioned, way more comfortable than regular flip flops. It really feels like you’re walking on a yoga mat.
Next, I took them for a spin outside. Walked around the block, ran some errands, the usual stuff. They held up pretty well. The cushioning is definitely the best part. Even after walking for a while, my feet didn’t feel tired or achy.
- Comfort: Top marks here! That yoga mat material is seriously comfy.
- Fit: A bit narrow. If you have wide feet, consider going up a size or two.
- Durability: Seem pretty durable so far, but I’ll have to see how they hold up over time.
- Style: They look pretty basic, but that’s not really a big deal for me. I am more concerned about comfort.
I even wore them to the grocery store and then to a casual dinner with friends. They were comfy enough for all of that. I did notice that because they’re so flat, they might not be the best for long walks or hikes. But for everyday stuff, they’re great.
I also tested how well they pack. They are super light and roll up really small, so they’ll be perfect for traveling. I can just throw them in my bag and not worry about them taking up too much space or adding weight.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m pretty happy with these Sanuk yoga mat flip flops. They’re definitely the most comfortable flip flops I’ve ever worn. They’re not perfect. Like I said, the sizing is a bit off, and they’re probably not the best for super long walks. But for everyday wear, especially if you’re looking for something comfy and easy on your feet, they’re a solid choice. I can wear them all day and not be fatigued in the evening. I’ll definitely be wearing these a lot this summer. I’m thinking about getting another pair in a different color. They’re that good.
