The Yogi sandal has received a new version! We've contacted Sanuk to get confirmation on changes.
Check out a side-by-side comparison here, with the Yogi 4 on the left and the version we tested on the right.
While we haven't tested the Yogi 4, we expect it to perform in a similar manner to the Yogi 3. The text in the rest of this review reflects our testing period of the Yogi 3.
If you are gearing up for a chill day, there is no reason not to grab the Sanuk Yogi 3. These flips are unbelievably comfortable! Super squishy soles mold instantly to your feet, and the straps are cushioned and wide. These were the flips we grabbed to walk the dog around the block, head to the laundromat, and ride our cruiser to Yoga. They are virtually weightless and — inexplicably — comforting. It might sound strange for a shoe to be comforting, but I can't explain it any other way. Maybe it's because every time I put them on I knew I was going out for something relaxing and mellow. And maybe because they are made of Yoga mats.
The Sanuk Yogi 3 feels so squishy and comfy that it becomes somewhat limited in its uses. There is no arch support so prolonged wear isn't the best for the feet and body. Also, the flip seems to absorb water and “foam” when it gets wet, just like a Yoga mat of course! They weren't the most slippery of the flips (that would be the Keen Florence) but I also didn't like getting them wet as they then felt soggy.
