I purchased these for my husbands birthday. He had been complaining about his feet/legs hurting when we walked too much. For his birthday, we went to the coast, and I knew we would be doing alot of walking. As we drove through the town we were staying in, he saw an athletic/outdoor shoe store, and said "Before we do much walking, I'd like to check out what they have there." As soon as we got to our Hotel...I gave him the gift wrapped Tevas...He loved the way they looked, and couldn't wait to get them on his feet! We walked daily for the next week...in fact, he wore me out walking so much!! So, upon returning home, I've ordered myself a pair of similar women's Tevas so I am better able to keep up with my walking hubby! Love the shoes...and Thanks for improving our vacation by a 1000%! He wears them daily, and is bummed when he has to put on regular shoes for work...Thanks!!
