This is my third pair of Teva sandals and, I only bought these because I loved my last one so much, and wanted to experiment with color this time. So this is actually my first time buying this specific model. First impression out of the box... The colors are beautiful and vibrant! I noticed padded straps for comfort! So, check mark for looking cute and another check mark for suspecting these will be great for long wear! The first try on... Holy cushion! I list my last Teva's were great? They are! But these are superior in their comfort and cushioning! Sizing... I'm typically a pretty true 7.5 with a fairly narrow heel to midfoot, though I need a wider toe box due to the shape and alignment of my upper foot and toes. Tevas in size 8 always work great for me, and these are no exception (half sizes aren't available). If I'm being really picky, if they could be like .25 size smaller, they'd be perfect but I guess that allows for expansions in the foot due to temperature, weight, fluid, etc so really no complaints. The one part that took some adjusting was finding just the right spot for the heel strap.. I typically don't adjust that one very much, but on these sandals, I tightened them because there is what I'll call a heel cradle at the back of the sandal. So keeping the strap tight simply makes the sandal feel very secure against my heel. Other info... These are super comfy right out of the box and I comfortably wore them for an estimated 3 to 5 miles the first wear. Nobody likes to talk about bunions, but I have one and these sandals are very accommodating without inducing pain in that area. This is subjective but, I think they look really cute with different styles of jeans, as well as short and skirts!
