Guide Review - Sanuk "Cut It Out" Flip Flops

Smart sandals. That's what these flip flops are. They have brains. How did the folks at Sanuk do that?

Perhaps the superior "Cut It Out" Sanuk flip flop is not a result of stem cell research, but just a by-product of working in a factory on the sea, as do the Sanuk folks -- trek in enough sand and you design a better flip flop. Sanuk's "wire" mesh bed is extremely cushy and practical: sand and dirt fall through the sproingy, rubbery coils and feet grip the bed without effort. As a plus, unobstructed airflow through the mesh bed creates an antibacterial environment ( be gone, slick and stinky soles).

In fact, the idea is so innovative that none other than Speedo bought rights to the patent; you might have seen it at superstores. Buy not. The real deal from Sanuk has a comfy foam midsole and darling designs are stamped into the beds: pink flamingos, no less.

I happily walked all over Acapulco in Sanuk's wire bed flip flops, and a teacher on the same student travel trip loved them equally: a former ballerina, she's got perennial ouch feet and these guys not only didn't hurt her erstwhile tortured tootsies, they felt downright good.

Give 'em a try. You've got nothing to lose but sand between your toes.
