text: I have been comparing these Teva's against Chaco sandals for about a month before deciding on these, mainly because they are half the price.<br /><br />I ordered a size 10.5, which has been my shoe size for a decade without issue. When they arrived, they were way too small. There is a lip on the back end of the sandal and at first I was stepping on that lip which was uncomfortable. I pushed my foot all the way forward in the sandal and tightened the back strap first to keep my foot forward and off that lip. This worked better, but left my toes hanging over the front by a little bit, enough to painfully kick a rock or stump if I wore these hiking as I had originally planned.<br /><br />There are three straps to adjust the sandal. The back and top straps are fine, but the one that goes over the toes is horrible. I could get the back and top straps snug, but the one over the toes always remained fairly loose. If I tightened it enough to make it snug, it would squeeze down uncomfortably on my pinky toe. No happy medium.<br /><br />I did try these on with hiking socks and it seemed to resolve the issues I was having with the front strap and made the sandals pretty comfortable. I could see them being nice with socks if I replaced them with a half size up, but I don't plan on always wearing them with socks.<br /><br />The quality of the sandal seemed to be pretty good. The top foam is very soft and might get torn up over time, but the tread is great and sturdy.<br /><br />I will be returning these and trying out the Chaco's next.
