My husband first came across this shoe while we were vacationing in Colorado.  He has a very bad ankle that has been broken in several places and has a hard time finding shoes that fit right and don't cause more pain.  I actually had him try several pairs of Merrels because I love those shoes- he found these and said they were the best shoe he has found! He is on his 3rd pair and just loves them.  Never thought Teva would come up with a boot this comfortable- but they are great
