UPDATED:  The soles are falling off! Has it even been 6 months?  The local shoe repair guy said he can't fix them because it's a defect in the construction of the shoe and the foam in the sole is collapsing.  I've loved these boots so much and now I'm stuck with boots I can't fix or return. LAME.

I was hesitant to try Tevas because of all the jokes my friends and I make about the sandals... but now I have to eat my words.  I love these boots!  They foot beds were comfy right out of the box. I had the calves stretched a little bit by my local shoe repair guy, so they fit perfectly. They've already been tested through puddles and remained waterproof.  The leather is great- looks like new even after puddle jumping.  I highly recommend them!
