This purchase was made almost two years ago, but I never finished the review. These are hands down the best flip-flop sandals I have ever owned!! I hope that Teva doesn't stop making them!! They are rugged like a pair of hiking shoes, and make my feet feel much safer walking on all surfaces that I don't feel as safe on with my spongy flips! My only suggestion would be to try and refrain from wearing them in the water and then wearing them wet. I think I may have stretched the straps a little by doing that while kayaking, and not they tend to slide off my feet a little. I have had them for two years, and they are still going strong!! Well worth the money for flip-flops!!
