I have three pairs of Sanuks that I have owned for a little over a year now. I wear these shoes every day and can't imagine going back to regular old sneakers. In fact, I have tried to wear other shoes and could not stand to wear them more than a few minutes. I wear running shoes for working out and boots to work, but any other time I am wearing a pair of my Sanuks. The only problem I have with them is that if it is very humid out, they tend to retain foot odor. I have had to start wearing socks with them this summer, and I prefer to wear them without socks.
