Detailed Review
The Sanuk Rio Slide sandals stand out as an excellent choice for warm-weather adventures. The lightweight, slip-on design allows for easy wear, whether you're heading to the beach or taking a stroll in the city. The seven Lycra straps ensure a snug and customizable fit, accommodating different foot shapes.
Moreover, the microfiber-lined footbed provides a cushiony feel that absorbs impact, making these sandals perfect for all-day wear. The high rebound Soft Top Foam contributes to their comfort, allowing you to dance through your day effortlessly.
As you consider the eco-friendly angle, it's refreshing to see a product like this that's made from recycled materials while still hitting all the right notes on style and functionality. The ability to machine wash these sandals with ease is a bonus for keeping them looking fresh after numerous outings.
However, some users have noted that the fit may be slightly narrow for those with wider feet, and there may be a brief adjustment period when first wearing them. These small drawbacks are easily outweighed by the many positives these sandals bring.

Perfect if you’re doing a lot of leisurely walking on a cruise ship. Cute and comfortable.
I have these sandals in every color....I love them. They are cofy and cute
Im between a 7.5 and 8 so I obviously went with a size 8. I first came across the Sanuk brand in Costco, the sandals looked soft & for about 15.00$ i said why not? It was a different style but same brand. They soon became my every day sandals. I wore them until I could no more for about 3 years. I was hopeful i would find them at Costco again but i didn't. So I came here and bought a different style in the same brand. This style worked well for outdoor walkingin Thailand, but after i wet them a little, the brown ink bleed into the white and thats unable to be washed off, i tried. So what did i do; buy the black ones. Im hopeful they'll last longer; i cant return the white ones but I'm hoping the black ones work just as well as the first pair because i love this brand & they're going to be my forever sandals. Confortable and cute style- i have a hammer toe, so this style really worked for me! Thanks Sanuk. Sanuk=Happy in Thailand.
I originally ordered an 8, as I’m an 8 in flip flops. I usually wear a 7.5 but I have a wide foot. The 8s were too snug. Sized up to the 9s and they fit perfectly!! I love them and the extra cushion is great for walking around the boardwalk!
I own about 8 pairs of Sanuks and they are the most comfy sandals ever! Except these. The sandal just doesn’t fit correctly and moves as you walk in them. So I have areas that are too loose or tight. Not comfortable at all
The sandal is cute, but they won't stay on my feet. I walked out of the right one the first time I wore them.
This shoe is perfect for the pool or spa, it doesn't 'squish' when exposed to a lot of water. This is a solid comfortable shoe that my poor broken feet enjoy walking around in.
I loved the comfort of the shoe. but the white part is cloth and it cannot be cleaned. so, once my shoe got a little dirt on it i had no way of cleaning it. i tried washing it and the sole of the shoe bled onto the white. just totally destroyed
