I've owned a few pairs of Tevas over the years and I have not been disappointed yet. I have yet to wear these out and about but my first impressions of this shoe are favorable. They seem very well made, very sturdy. The sole is almost tacky, which i'm loving- most canvas shoes i've tried have a very slippery sole slapped on the bottom of them, but these have grip.

Sizing: I was a little worried because i have fairly narrow feet and most shoes are too wide. I wear a 9 to a 9.5, so I ordered a 9.5 based on the reviews and that half size up made all the difference. A size 9 would have been way too small. The width is about average, i'd say. I *could* get away with wearing no socks or a pair of peds with these shoes, but wearing a cotton ankle sock really keeps my foot from sliding around and getting blisters. If you have average or wide width feet, you probably won't have that issue.
