First, I'd like to state that I did NOT buy this sandal from Amazon, but since Teva lovers LOVE these shoes, they should know the problem. OK - here's the problem: I love Teva sandals too, and have two pairs already. The fact that these came in half sizes looked like a big improvement, since I always have to order the next size up. However - I ordered the half size that I normally wear in other types of shoes, but the foot bed of these Tevas did not feel true to size. The fabric that the straps are made of is very stiff and scratchy. The "padding" on the inside of the straps is much smaller than on the older styles, totally inadequate, in my opinion. Another BIG disappointment is the sole of this style. While I only wore the shoes part of a day around the house, I could tell by looking that the soles would NOT be safe in wet areas. And - I note that other purchasers have already found this to be true. I wish I could have used this pair of shoes, especially since they were on sale at a great price, but I am returning them. I could not have worn them comfortably even if they were free!
