I have been wearing Tevas sandals for the past 20 year or so and have always loved them all.  But I can't love this one.  It is completely different than my previous Tevas  The sole of these is a one piece molded piece with a foam inlay..  The old one were multilayer that are glued and stitched together.  This new one is scooped out where the feet go and are stiffer and not as soft.  But my biggest complaint is the front straps.  The old one has padding down near the sole. It was triangular shaped and went up to the top of my feet so the strap would not be uncomfortable. I think on the new design the holes the straps come out of are closer together.  Between the curvature of the soul by the straps and the straps themselves. it pinches my feel. I have tried loosening the straps and pushing down hard with my thumb on the hump.  The it is no use.  I have als tried adjusting the straps so my foot were farther forward and back..  Maybe the bridge of my feet are wider than normal.  I don't know.  But I can't wear these comfortably.  I'm sending them back. I guess I will have to switch to a different brand.  I can't recommend these Tevis any more].

I just don't understand why the shoe manufactures keep changing a willing combination.  It is not just Teva, It is Asics and others.  If I like a product, I would buy it time and time again. I hate that they keep changing them every your.  I imagine it is so they can boost the price back up every year.  But I have to read many reviews by both professional and owner.  And hopefully find a product that is as good as my previous pair.  I just can't understand it!
