What makes Sanuk products different? Better!
Anchored Straps
Have you ever been walking in a pair of thongs and been startled when one of the straps pulls out of the footbed? Not too fun right? In an effort to prevent thong blow-outs, we design our sandals so that the straps are securely anchored beneath the footbed.
Ergonomic Toe Posts
While not all feet have the same shape and not all toes have the same spacing, we go to great lengths to ensure our toe posts are positioned for the best overall comfort and fit. Additionally, our toe posts always face out ina manner that allows the smoothest side to make contact with the foot. This may seem obvious, but you would be surprised how often it's overlooked.
Durometer
A durometer is an instrument used for measuring a materials degree of hardness. If thongs were a religion, this would be sacred object. Careful attention is given to ensuring an optimal level of softness in each pair of thongs. By rubberising our EVA, we are able to offer super cushy footbeds that are as durable as they are comfortable.
Last
A last is a block or form shaped like a human foot and used to create a consistant fit in every pair of thongs. By securing our straps to the footbed with the aide of the last, we can count on the last pair off the line fitting as well as the first.
Toe Spring
We focus a great deal on incorporating a proper degree of upward curve into the front of our thongs. This adds comfort and prevents you from tripping when you walk. Tripping sucks.

Walking Naturally
The beautiful thing about thongs is that while they are the most simple things in the world, they offer the complex benefits to your entire body. Unlike shoes, sandals are not constructed with rigid stitch down boards or shanks, but rather flexible footbeds that allow your feet to bend naturally when you walk. We call this barefoot Un-Technology. The more naturally we allow our feet to move, the stronger they become over time. Our sidewalk surfers were designed with this in mind. With a shoe upper on a thong bottom, they combine the year round style and protection of a shoe with the natural comfort of a thong.
