Comfortable, great looking sandals
I ordered this pair of Tevas for an upcoming trip to South and North Carolina. I had a different pair already, but they were more for hiking. These are great for walking, but they look great for restaurants and dressy places. I have flat feet and these sandals help with support. The top is adjustable around my toes so I can get a secure fit. I don't worry if it rains or they get wet. Overall, a great pair of sandals. Buy them soon, God knows what is going to happen with the tariffs.

Wide foot approved!
***Update: I have had these a year now and still LOVE them! They are starting to show their age a tiny bit but I use them constantly from March-November and I have not been gentle with them as mentioned below. Based off the superficial wear and tear on them halfway through their second summer, I figure I will get at least 3 summers of use out of them, they are definitely sturdy and well made. When these eventually die I will 10000% get another pair.*Original review: Let me start by saying I have very oddly shaped feet lol. I got them scanned at a running store once and every measurement was at the far end of their average spectrum. So while my length measures around a size 5.5-6 I'm in the 95th percentile for width so I usually have to wear a 7-7.5 wide shoe. All that to say this sandal is the best for my extra wide feet! And I tried around a dozen different pairs of similar sandles before finding these.I've had these about 3 months and I have put them to the test! Few days after purchase I spent 4 days in Vegas wearing these the whole time and walking 20,000+ steps a day around the strip. No blisters! And although my feet did hurt at the end of the day it was tired hurt from walking way more than usual and not the shoes fault. Next we did 3 days at Disneyland with days near 30,000 steps (one day was 15 miles of walking!). Again no blisters! I pretty much wear these anytime I'm not at work where I'm required to wear closed toed shoes since I got them. And after all the crazy use I've given them the last 3 months and they barely show any wear! Very very happy with this purchase! They are lightweight but still tough and comfortable. I also like that you can adjust both the ankle straps and the toe strap so people with weirdly shaped feet like me can adjust these easily.

Tevas ARE cool!
Back in the early 2000's, my parents always wore the clunky, bright-colored, water shoe Teva sandals. I used to make fun of them because they were so hideous so it's been an ongoing joke in our family that I would never wear them....I just assumed all Tevas were fugly because of the ones my parents wore. The joke was on me when I told them I ordered a pair of Tevas for an upcoming medical mission trip to Guatemala!I wanted a pair of not-flip-flop sandals that I could walk around comfortably in for long periods of time, didn't take up alot of space in my pack (I only brought two pairs of shoes for the whole week, Merrell sneakers for working & hiking and these for everything else), could be worn in the water if needed...AND that aren't a complete eye sore. These were probably the most attractive, versatile sandals that met all of the things I was looking for.They are VERY comfortable and look good with pretty much everything! The strappy style makes it easy to dress up with a sundress, and the bungee cord color in particular looks great with jeans (I'm in my twenties if that matters at all). A bunch of other girls on the trip complimented and asked where I got them.As far as sizing goes, I usually wear a 9.5 wide if available because I have super flat and wide feet due to a genetic extra bone on both of my cankles (thanks dad). I read the reviews that these shoes were long so I went with size 9, which was the right choice! The normal width works for wide feet. The arch support on these shoes is perfect...it's just enough to help flat feet, without forcing too much of an arch that it causes foot pain. The sole is thick and sturdy, while still being relatively lightweight, which really helped when walking on the cobblestone streets of Antigua, Guatemala. I did a short easy hike in these shoes, but I would not recommend them as your only hiking shoes. If your feet get dirty they rinse of easily with water. I am traveling to Europe this summer for 2 weeks and plan on only bringing a backpack again so this will be the only pair of sandals I bring! The only negative I can think of is that my boyfriend still thinks they look a little geeky, but who cares what he thinks :PThese shoes were well worth the $50 and will continue to be throughout my summer travels and camping trips in California. Now I see all the hype about Teva that my parents tried convincing me of for years! Yay Teva!
