You saw a pair of Gurus sandals on Amazon or some other website and wondered whether you should buy a pair. Before you make that decision, let me tell you a little story about them.
You see… I’ve had a terrible relationship with sandals for virtually my entire life. As a child, I found them painful. As a teenager, they felt like torture devices. As an adult, well… you get the idea. In short, I’ve never been a big fan of sandals or flip-flops – especially flip-flops.
So now that you know the origin story of my hatred of sandals, we can jump to the present. A few days ago, I had an opportunity to try a pair of Gurus sandals for review. Supposedly inspired by the 5,000-year-old design of sandals that Mahatma Gandhi wore, these unisex sandals are a bit of a twist on an ancient design. They’re eco-friendly, made from fully sustainable, 100% vegan (for you vegan nerds who haven’t discovered the glory of eating Paleo) natural rubber.
They’re also gunk-free, meaning no glues or chemical solvents are used in their production. Gurus are designed to keep your feet cool by wicking sweat and moisture away from them to the dry surface of the sandal.
Should I Buy Gurus Sandals?
So here’s the thing: it turns out that I don’t hate all sandals. I’m pleased to announce that I do not hate Gurus sandals. Do I think they’re amazing? They’re about as good as I would expect from a pair of sandals, but I’ll take it. Perhaps you’ll find these fantastic beyond reason if you generally like sandals. If so, leave me a comment.
In the meantime, head over and check out the Gurus website to order a pair. Mine are Granite (Gray) colored, which is probably what you’ll want to aim for if you’re trying to emulate me, and really, why wouldn’t you be?
Given that they’re only USD 30, you won’t break the bank by picking up a pair on Amazon or directly on the official Gurus website. It’s a small price to pay for a couple of good sandals, especially if you’re used to ones that hurt your feet and back every time you go for a stroll.
