These are my 5th pair of Teva's and I just LOVE TEVA's. I've had one of my pairs for 3 years and while they've started to fray, they're still completely usable. When they fray, I take a lighter and melt down the material - be very careful but this does work and stop some of the fraying. These ones are made of a different material though so I don't think they'll fray like some of my others.

I get so many compliments on all of the sandals. I particularly love the black because they're easy to pair with anything. I bought these specifically because I was going on a cruise down the coast of Croatia and I wore them everywhere - for hiking the coast, for walking the cobblestone streets, as water shoes to keep my feet protected against coral and stones, and even wore them out dancing one night.

They're soooo comfortable. I have a lot of foot problems (bunions, plantar fasciitis) so finding something that doesn't hurt my feet is imperative. They're lightweight and the ankle strap makes them stay on your feet without having to clench your toes. I tried out other similar sport sandals (specifically Chacos) and they weren't as comfortable for me as Teva's - the soles are soft and form to your foot (unlike Chaco's hard soles) and they are much lighter than Chacos.

I am typically a 6.5-7 and I buy a size 7.

Also - need I mention the amazing price?
