I wore the Teva Ventura thong sandal for two blissful years, and wore them hard - miles upon miles of walking and any occasion that did not call for shoes, including puttering around the yard. I wore them on hard, sizzling pavements and sloshed through mud with them, scrubbed them, hosed them and dog knows what else, and they just kept going while looking great and feeling comfortable. I wore another Teva thong for two years before getting the Ventura, and that one was also a great sandal. Couldn't find the Ventura thong again so I looked for a substitute and decided on the Cabrillo.

Well, the title of my review says it all. The front strap feels loose on my feet, the ankle straps on each side are aligned slightly differently from each other, and I'm feeling a bit of discomfort on the outside left heel that I didn't get in the previous models. I hope they become more comfortable with more wear, but I would not buy this again. I'd grab another Ventura if I could find one, though... :)

I amended my rating from 3 stars to 1 star. The bit of discomfort on the outer left heel turned into major discomfort/pain on the outer part of both heels once I walk more than a few yards. I've been such a hardcore Teva fan that this sandal is seriously disappointing.
