I always bought Teva sandals, but was not even aware they made other types of shoes. When I stumbled upon these, they were on sale and I tried them on. They are incredible. I bought them on the spot and have never regretted it. They've become my favorite Fall through Spring shoes. These shoes are SUPER comfortable; almost as good as wearing slippers. And they keep my feet VERY warm, withOUT making them too hot and sweaty. As some other reviewwer's mentioned, they run a little snug, so if you buy your exact size, you'll have to wear thin socks. Buy a 1/2 size up if you want to wear regular socks. The bad thing about these shoes?? They have ruined other shoes for me! Even my Clarke's cannot compare. I have a really hard time shoe shopping now, because nothing is as comfortable to me as these Teva mules!
