I love the sandals. I have had problem feet for a long time. So, I have not worn sandals. I took a chance because I was told that Teva sandals are very comfortable, and that you don't need to worry about falling easily.  Also, product description explicitly claimed that there were Velcro straps at both ends of the sandal. Normally I need a wide shoe/sandal.  I have worn these sandals all day, for almost a week. They were very comfortable from the minute I put them on. I have been on my feet quite a bit, recently. They also have very nice grips underneath to keep me from slipping in them, while walking around.  I would definitely purchase them, again..
