Now that summer’s upon us, it’s time for many of you to put aside your shoes and grab some flip-flops. I say “many of you”, because more than a few of us, myself included, wear sandals year-round. Getting a good pair of sandals became even more crucial for me, as a few weeks ago I underwent ACL reconstruction surgery. With my right knee out of commission, putting on and tying shoes became a bit of a chore – having footwear that I could easily slip in and out of made my life on crutches that much easier. Luckily, I received two great pairs of flip-flops to test and review – the Cobian Austin and the Reef Arch 1. Both are incredibly comfortable, and nice enough to wear out in the evening, or even to work.

The Austin is the more basic (and cheaper) of the two. With a leather footbed and strap, it’s probably not the best choice to wear when checking the dawn surf. It’s very comfortable, and it took only a few days for the footbed to break in and mold to the shape of my feet. For those of you with wide feet, you may find the Austin a bit snug; my feet are a bit wide, and the Austins were almost too tight. The leather straps, however, meant that I didn’t experience any rubbing or blisters. Overall, the Austins are a great sandal for the price.  Click here To See The Cobian Austin Sandal.  Click here To See All Cobian

The Reef Arch 1 is definitely on the high end, in terms of price (around $100) and features. Yes, the sandal has features – notably, an adjustable arch. Using a hex key, you can raise or lower the arch for comfort and fit. This is a fantastic feature; along with giving arch support, it enables a much more snug fit. I’ve worn Olukais and swore that they were the most comfortable sandals I’ve ever owned; the Reef Arch 1’s may actually surpass them, thanks to their customizable fit.  Click here to see the Reef Arch  Click here to see all Reef

With Father’s Day coming up, either of these would make a great gift. I’m sure I’ll spend a lot of time in both pairs this summer.

I can’t believe I waited this long to like UGGs!

I have a confession. And it’s almost embarrassing, especially because I’ve lived in Southern California for 23 years. I had never tried on a pair of UGG Australia Boots until last week. There. I said it.

I have a logical excuse. I truly thought the classic UGGs were ugly. Until I went to Hansen Surfboards and stepped into a pair. I really wish I hadn’t done that because it started a chain reaction.

I could blame it on Hansen Surfboards because they have the largest selection of UGG boots in North County San Diego, but I won’t.  Truth is, I wanted to check out the selection because I do PR for Hansen Surfboards and was working on a news release about it. I certainly can’t write about something I haven’t tried. I get really cold in the winter and I love the idea of UGG boots but I’ve never liked the way they look. I’ve always preferred cowboy boots, being the Texas girl that I am.

Sheep Skin Boots Are Perfect For Winter

When the temperatures drop outside at the arrival of winter, you need footwear to keep your toes warm without feeling tight or too sweaty.  Hansen's Surf Shop, the largest retail store in the San Diego area, offers the footwear you need from the top brand name products you want. We carry a large selection of UGG® Australia Boots for both men and women ranging from slippers, ankle boots and calf high boots.

Make Sure Your UGG Sheepskin Boots Are Real

We have a quick video on how to make sure your UGG boots are the real thing........if you see UGG boots that have been discounted more then 50% and seem to be discounting all the top styles then chances are the UGG boots are fake.

We Still Have Authentic UGG Australia Boots Sparkles

These are sold out in most store but we have been lucky enough to get a few more....Don't wait they will sell out!
