text: I've worn Teva sandals for years, and have one pair that need retiring (insert sad face here!).  So, I thought I would venture out.  I see that Chaco's are highly recommended, and was truly looking forward to something new!  I read hot some people took like 45 minutes to adjust their sandals, and thought, &#34;sheesh, how hard could it be?&#34;  Well, little did I know that these would be near impossible to adjust properly!!  The straps are very tight, and after about blistering my fingers, grabbed a pair of pliers to help!  I thought I got them fitting well enough to go for a walk, and didn't seem to be too bad.....then I got home.  My second toe on the right was killing me every time I tried to take a step; not to mention the sides of my heels.  I wear an 8-1/2 regular width, and based upon feedback, bought the size 9 - ugh!  The arch wasn't quite right, and the area on the sole near the ball of my foot had this horrible bump that caused my toes to be slightly higher than the bottom of the shoe (I think if they actually made the shoe in 1/2 sizes, this hump would have been just at the base of my toes and would have been comfortable).  The soles on these shoes are designed with little ridges to keep your foot from sliding when wet, but do nothing but cause discomfort!!<br /><br />Sadly, I'm returning and going back to my tried and true Teva shoes (Oh, and did I mention 1/2 the price!!!!!)
