I am very happy with these shoes. Normally, "flats" scratch the side of my feet. My expectations for shoes this style are always very low. However, because I love the Teva brand I wanted to give these a try. I have worn them quite a few times and they are very comfortable. I did not have the size issue as other reviews have mentioned; they fit perfectly. My plans were to try them out so that I can use them for un upcoming trip to Europe. I think they passed the test. I would definitively buy them again.
