I be first introduce to Sanuk through my daughter who surf and if familiar with all of the `` fashion '' . she want a pair of the Donna 's for Christmas and I start try on some of the man 's sidewalk surfer while she be out try on other clothes . I like the suv due to the thicker tread that I think would last I longer , but , after go to all of the surf shop in and around Dana Point , San Clemente , Laguna Beach , I could not find the suv in size 12 . I be a little nervous at first to purchase something online that I have not try on first , but this Amazon company have a good return policy . try on other sidewalk surfer , size 12 seem to fit the best so I purchase they . they come as advertise , NEW and in perfect condition . well package , so I be very pleased with the low price , low shipping cost , return policy and a quick delivery . once I try they on , they fit like a glove . these be the most comfortable `` shoe '' that I now own !!! I wear they everywhere now . I actually do wear they to work so I need to get some thin nylon style black dress sock . the sock be hide under the Levi 's , and I do recommend sock for work . there be no `` break-in '' period as with regular shoe , so they be good-to-go right out of the box . I have a pair of Ocean Minded -lrb- rainbow-type -rrb- sandal that have the same sole material that have last 3 year now and be just now start to wear thru to the foam underneath , so I suspect the Sanuk SUV 's will last double that due to twice the material in the sole . if Sanuk really want I to do a thorough product review , I be more than happy to receive a `` comp ` ed '' pair . : - -rrb- anyway , I be very happy with the purchase of these . they fit great and I be look forward to they last a long time !!!
