Teva Women's Hurricane Xlt W'S Sandal

With me comfort is king. It is everything when it comes to shoes. These are not beauty queen sandals, however they do look just fine on your feet. The big benefit is that you can put these on out of the box and wear them all day every day doing anything. Walking all day, working all day, gardening all day--anything is doable with these wonderful feet pamperers. I have two pairs. One pair is for beating around working outside and all that, the other pair is my lounging around and going to town pair. And you may think they are a little expensive, but considering they will last years, think how many other sandals will be in the trash long before these will show any sign of wearing out. (My work pair is 6 years old now and nothing is worn on them, save the paint splashes I got on them last summer when I was painting my front porch. Try them and you will be hooked. The arch support is great. They cradle your feet, so when walking outdoors your feet don't slide out over the side of the foot bed. The soles are heavily treaded, so traction is great if you are fording up a stream, like I love to do on a hot day, over slippery rocks in nice cool water. and they dry quickly with the soft woven straps that are of a synthetic fabric and left in the sun for a short time are all dry. Just can't say enough about these sandals. Lots of styles of this particular type of teva, (the synthetic strap kind) to choose from, and they will all give you a great fit and functionality. I haven't tried the leather ones, because I like the flexibility the woven straps give me to be in the ocean, or dirt or anywhere and wash and dry quickly without worrying about damaging the sandal, as is usually the case with leather. I have owned 4 pairs in 25 years. The first pair I ordered was too short and instead of sending them back, I wore them for a while and gave them to a nephew. He loved them. The second pair Another nephew fell in love with and I gave those to him and purchased my third pair which are on my feet at this moment and heading out to plant tomatoes. The fourth pair are waiting for use later today. I know this may sound like an infomercial of some sort but it is not. It is just that I have purchased so very many things these days that are just not what they claim to be and end up being sent back or just thrown out because of such poor quality. Even when you pay a good price for something, quality just isn't as common as it used to be years ago, when pride in workmanship really was the norm. So I get very vocal when something actually does do what it is suppose to do and really delivers. These shoes do that. I purchased these sandals at amazon, because they have an extensive selection of this brand and they also have the best prices compared with cabela's who also carry these but not in as wide a selection and not as good of prices. amazon is usually the best deal for things like this

I really like my new Tevas. They are just the thing for summer & working or playing around the water. My sister has had a pair of Tevas just like mine for about 20 years and they are still almost like new. They wear like iron.

I ordered these sandals bc I wanted something other than flip flops for summer. I'm so glad I chose these... They are so comfortable. In fact, they're prob the most comfortable shoes I have now. I love that if I get them dirty I can just hose them off and they're great on slippery areas too. I'll probably order another pair in a different color just so I can wear them more often! Great price for comfort.
