These are my first Teva's and I like them but the strap on the ankle is a bit annoying so that will take some getting used to. I usually wear Keens but wanted something that didn't completely cover my foot so I could easily rid pebbles from my shoes rather than them staying in the toe box area since the Keen's have a toe bumper. Anywho I like the shoe it seems like it will be comfortable for my needs.
