Sanuk Vagabond Sidewalk Surfer

Most of us prefer sandals to shoes, and not just because of the open air — lots of times, sandals are just way more comfortable. The Sanuk Vagabond Sidewalk Surfer ($55) is basically a shoe upper on a sandal bottom, something the company calls "Barefoot Untechnology," which allows your foot to bend and flex naturally.
