text: I'm really fond of the design, and they're as sturdy and comfy as you'd expect from Teva. The adjustable strap works well without adding awkwardness, and they stay on well. However, I've had them for a year (only wearing in summers, mind you) and they still give me blisters if I wear them for more than a few hours walking. The criss-cross straps by the heel are a bit stiff, as is the leather heel reinforcement, and they rub even on my narrow feet. On the bright side, they don't rub enough to pull off protective bandaids or strong enough to hurt through bandaids, so it's easy to deal with. With bandaids in place, I'll happily wear them all day, and they're great water sandals (in which case I've never needed bandaids).
