As a sandal-shoe hybrid, Sanuks are slightly better for walking than a pair of flip-flops but not as good as a pair of dedicated shoes. These shoes are built more for comfort than for speed, as the wide footbed and loose canvas upper hold the shoe securely to the foot only slightly better than your regular flip-flops. If you want to go a bit further in your Sanuks than ordinary sandals might allow, check out some of the casual sneaker models that feature a more durable and cushioned cupsole.\r
