I wanted sandals that I could walk in all day and be comfortable. I will use these around town, on the beach, in my drift boat on the river, boating at the lake; basically, everywhere. They are great.

I am very happy with these sandals. They fit well and are well made. I use them more as an everyday sandal, but they have done well when hiking as well. It took about a week to break them in, but now they feel like slippers. I like the buckle and various (and easy) ways to tighten them. I like that they don't use Velcro like other Tevas do. My only issue is that the front strap does not always stay under its holder, but it hasn't presented a big issue yet. I bought these because a previous reviewer said they were more like the original Tevas when they first came out and were of a higher quality. So far, I'd have to agree. I'd definitely recommend these sandals, but would suggest you buy a pair a 1/2 size larger than your normal size. On another note, I only have good things to say about Zappos. They have the best customer service in the world and ship orders immediately. My sandals arrived the day after I ordered them even though I opted for 3-day shipping. On another purchase, they mailed me a new pair of shoes the same day I sent the previous pair back for return (for a new size). I was very pleased. They are top-notch.

Great Summer Footwear - I love these sandals! They have a great look and are super comfortable. They have great arch support and the footbed actually feels like a running shoe. I went biking in mine the other day and they were great. I'd recommend going to the Teva website and following their sizing recommendations. I'm usually a 12 in most shoes, but am an 11 in these. Glad I followed the sizing guidelines!

Fantastic shoe - back to the "old" style - I had my last pair of Teva's for 9 years, when they finally wore out, I tried many different pairs of Teva's, but they all seemed to have this overly thick heel and I kept feeling like I had women's heels on - all the weight was transferred to the balls of my feet. But this style is back to the "old" way - where the padding is a little less thick but not any less cushy. IMHO, there was nothing wrong with their old style of shoes and I’m glad to see someone at Teva agrees with me and has managed to hang on to this superior way of building a shoe. The flexion is perfect, while the sole gives support, it also is easy to flex (an issue with Teva's thicker styles). The looks, however, I find the grey of the sole to be kinda blechy - would rather have the sole be black. The amount of adjust-ability in the straps is very nice - everything you expect from a good Teva. I hope these will last me as long as my last ons did. It's hard to find shoes out there that will stand up to 9 years of almost constant use and punishment, but Teva stands as a model of how to make a shoe last.

Same problem as the others who were disappointed with this sandal. Great fit, great style, love the buckle and wearing around water. But I bought a pair and 6 months later the soles de-laminated on both. Catastrophic failure of the glue. Returned them for a replacement and the same thing happened again after about 8 months of casual wear.
