Update:

After 8 months and a lot of water, the bottom sole of the shoe started to peel off as other stated. They used cheap glue.  I sent the shoe back to Teva and they gave me a Teva's store credit of 100, since this item is out of stock or discontinued on their website.  This is the only style I like fro Teva, but I guess I have to get something else.  Teva's customer service is top notch.  They emailed me and responded to my call very fast.  They back up their product and sent me a new model&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Teva-Men-s-Riva-Leather-Event-Hiking-Shoe/dp/B001RNO7D0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Teva Men's Riva Leather Event Hiking Shoe</a>, since this one has been discontinued.

I think this is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I got and I am comparing this to tennis shoes.  First off, it is for outdoors and I used it on muddy trail.  It simple design and the charcoal color is easy to wash the mud off and still looking good.  The traction and Teva's  Ortholite sole are very comfortable and flexible.  The shoe Event design is to keep mud and water out, but still be breathable.  I got to say it works.

I was so impressed with these pair of shoes that I only brought one pair of shoes to work around in London for a week and it was these. It beat out my black Adidas's Bounce shoe.  It did get a little hot even with the event breathable design, but that was minor.  Only mesh running shoes would be more breathable then this, but aren't as rugged as these.  The charcoal color is the best color to blend with the outdoors and city walking.  Even the little orange color didn't stick out too much in London, otherwise it fits perfectly in Seattle.
