Currently ranked second in the race for the title of women’s bestselling flip-flops on Amazon, Sanuk’s Yoga Sling 2 sandal continues to climb over the competition.

Sanuk, a maker of shoes with yoga mat footbeds and faux shearling for major cushioning, has been creating custom textiles, fabrics, patterns and prints for active humans since 1997.

The brand’s Yoga Sling 2 Flip-Flop is no exception to the unique, high quality designs its been producing for more than two decades - the sandals’ more than 14,000 customer ratings speak to its bestseller rank in Amazon’s top 100 shoes and handbags category.

If you’ve been considering a pair for some time or want to know more about what makes the Yoga Sling 2 Flip-Flop so special, then you’ve come to the right place.

There’s a reason reviewers regard the Yoga Sling 2 as the “key to your happiest feet ever,” after all.

The details

According to reviewers, there’s more than a few things about Sanuk’s Yoga Sling 2 Flip-Flops that set them apart from the rest of the shoe game.

Unlike like most sandals on the market, the Yoga Sling’s straps wrap around the lower ankle so you don't have to worry about losing them mid-stride.

The stretch fabric is customizable depending on the feel and style you’re going for, which means you can also wear the strap that goes across the front of your foot behind your heel for extra support.

The footbed is also designed for comfort, padded with durable yoga mat material that provides plenty of shock absorbency.

To top it all off, the sandals are available in a whopping 41 different colourways and prints.

What customers are saying

With a solid 4.5 out of 5 star rating, reviewers continue to reaffirm the Yoga Sling 2 Flip-Flop’s superior comfort.

“I want five more pairs,” one shopper proclaimed. “I have never in my life ordered shoes or sandals online because I absolutely have to try them on and nothing fits me right. I have narrow feet as well and usually have bad luck when I can’t adjust any of the straps on sandals. These just arrived yesterday and I am so surprised they fit perfectly. The material of the sole is the perfect density, not too hard not too soft, perfect amount of squish when walking. The stretchiness of the fabric molds around your foot, not too tight but just right. These are worth every penny.”

Besides a few mentions of slipping and sliding due to the sandals near grip-less bottom, there’s an overwhelming number of comments about their barely-there feel in Amazon’s review section.

“These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn. The yoga mat soles are amazing,” another reviewer said. “I ordered one size smaller than I normally wear (ordered a seven, wear an eight) and they fit perfectly. Not too much sole hanging over my toes to trip on. The straps fit really well. Loved these so much, I bought a second pair in a different colour.”

To buy, or not to buy?

Between the Yoga Sling 2’s Amazon status and its customer reviews, its safe to say they’re worth the investment.

For $50, you can have a sandal that can be dressed up or down and strapped on tight for all kinds of activities. Not to mention, if the reviews are right, they’ll last you a lifetime.
