Review on Sanuk Rounder Slip Pirate Black: The Ultimate Casual Slip-On for Style and Comfort by Robert Carlson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not the same.: Shoes

This should be my sixth pair of Sanuk Rounders. I love rounders. I HATE high soles and soles that are wider than the bottom of the shoe. I'm not a shoemaker so I have no idea what the correct term is. Round shoes are perfect for me because the Sanuk sole is comfortable, but I don't like other models. I currently have tan, tan, and black sneakers. I ordered this second black pair as they are no longer making the best color of all, grey. New ones arrived today and I wanted to take them on an errand. However, I couldn't wear them. I can barely get my foot to slide in when I put my heel down like I'm in slippers. I was surprised because I've never had a problem like this with these shoes - ever. They seem to be at least 1-2 sizes smaller than my other rounders. I thought I made a mistake and ordered the wrong size so I got the old pairs out. However, they are all the same size. The new pair is much smaller, so unfortunately I can't recommend them yet. Sunux has been my favorite spring/summer show so far, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars. It was disappointing but damn it happens. I don't like shopping for shoes online, but I've had so many pairs of the same ZERO-size shoes—including the most recent order through this same Revain list—that I never thought I could be such a problem. As I live in a very small town there are no local shops/stores that sell sharpies, only ugly (objectively) ones, so I can't go around making sure I'm ordering the right size. Carrying things back and forth trying to figure out what fits isn't my style either so I think it's time for me to move haha.
