It's cute, squishy, comfortable and a summer basic! Sturdy cross over thong upper give more support than basic flip-flops. Smooth, lightweight webbing upper. Soft EVA topsole. Enhanced arch support.
All purpose sandals I purchased these sandals on the recommendation of a friend of mine who had used them while backpacking in Europe two years ago. I thought the flip flop design was both cute and functional (holding in your foot more than the traditional two strap design), and appreciated the waterproof nature of these sandals. I am a longtime Reef flipflop user and really appreciate the type of arch support that these sandals give -- I wouldn't have purchased the Tevas w/o the arch support!
They were a bit tight for my feet initially (I am a 6.5-7), but stretched out as I wore them, becoming quite comfortable.
Overall I really liked these sandals. I wore them during a month long backpacking tour of Europe. I will say that they seemed to compact faster than the Reefs I owned previously, but still cradled my feet well. I threw them away at the end of the trip when I forgot to air them out and packed them, soaking wet from a hostel bathroom, into a ziplock bag. Four days later I found them, smelling terrible and still wet. I was heading home the next day and trying to reduce my load as much as possible, so although they could've probably been salvaged (a good wash, perhaps some disinfectant and a baking in the sun), I decided to toss them.
Between these and the Reefs (Ginger) I normally wear, I'd have to say it's a tie... The Reefs may be a hair ahead because they don't seem to wear out as fast. I definitely wouldn't mind wearing them again, and they definitely did keep my feet happy through all the walking around, swimming, etc.
