I bought these sandals after reading excellent customers' reviews. I've known many people who wore Teva sandals and loved them. But it was my first experience with the brand. The sole gives excellent cushion. The problem comes with the position of a plastic ring connecting straps. It really hurts when you walk and also straps gave me sores in several places. Initially I bought those sandals for my daughter but she said that the ring position made wearing them unbearable. I tried to wear them myself with the same outcome. The sandals are size 11. Probably women with smaller feet don't have problems. Well, I am shopping for another sandals. I am going on vacation and need very comfortable shoes to take long walks.
