These shoes look great, but don't function so well. I have a variety of Teva sandals that I love and have not had an experience with any of them like this one. To explain, there is a part of the sandal that comes up right in the area where the arch support is. While that might look like more support, what it is really is the cause of constant abrasion. The ankle strap causes the same issue. I was able to wear these sandals with socks without a problem, but barefooted on only one occasion as they wore sores and blisters in three spots on each foot.  Disappointing because they look great and appear to be very well built.
