I discovered Tevas by accident 2 years ago when I purchased a pair on sale. I have become a complete devotee. I have tried MANY other "orthotic-style" sandals and flip flops, some which cost in excess of $200. NONE are as comfortable as my Tevas. These have the perfect combination of style, arch support, and foot bed cushion. I don't feel like I'm walking around on hard pavement all day like I do with some others made from cork beds (which they claim are so good for you but kill MY knees and back). Keep in mind, these are "FLIP FLOP" type sandals. If you are looking for something with more support for the ankle and upper foot, you need to order a lace-up shoe or sneaker. I will continue to order Tevas whenever I go looking for sandals. They are worth the money.
