Hurley is a California shorts company that enjoys a great reputation in the beach world of Huntington. At least since the late 90's they produce all kinds of beach and skateboard wear. These simple slip-on shoes with a subtle Hurley "H" logo appear to mimic similar sneakers from their old-school neighbor, the Vans. Vans have been around a lot longer and make simple skate shoes great. These Hurley shoes are nearly identical and don't seem to skimp on quality. It's a little big, a little big, but it's pretty thin, at least as our teenager reports. You probably know this, but these aren't shoes that can be worn everywhere, they don't have luxurious comfort or offer the most support, and they don't have the best cushioning soles. The Hurley logo gives it some Californian authenticity, which of course you pay a little more for. I can say: the child loves her until now!
