text: I had read the numerous reviews regarding the black ink on the feet.  I thought they were exaggerating and making it out to be a bigger deal than it was.  Ummm, nope, not an exaggeration.  These sandals will turn the bottoms of your feet black as night.  I will say that using a damp microfiber cloth will wipe the black dye off very quickly, all of it.  So I figured, no big deal, the sandals should stop transferring the dye after a few wears or so.<br /><br />Ummm, nope.  I have worn these sandals 3-4 times a week since I purchased them.  I have had them since July 11th.  They are still transferring quite a bit of dye.  Not as much as when I first got them, but still more than I like to see.  It's a bit of an annoyance to keep cleaning the dye off before venturing to let my feet touch anything in my house.<br /><br />Other than the dye issue, the sandals are phenomenal.  I have them in the Crockery and Brown colors as well.  This is the first time I've ever purchased every color of a sandal.  These are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn.  They are wonderful right out of the box.  I can wear them all day without feeling any foot pain or fatigue.  I have flat arches and plantar fasciitis.  Because the strap starts at the arch, I am able to wear it snug to give my arch support.  The low heel cushions the heal nicely.<br /><br />That being said, I have a narrow foot.  The strap across the toes is way loose.  However, the straps that go around the foot and ankle are easy enough to adjust that it's not a deal breaker for me.  I keep meaning to put some of those silicone jobbies on the strap across the toes to make it fit more to my foot, I just haven't got around to it.<br /><br />Also, because my feet are narrow, the ankle strap does stick out past the back of the shoe.  I thought about taking it to a shoe repair shop and having them trim the excess and re-sew the edge, but it would probably cut through the &#34;Teva&#34; across the strap and I'm not sure I wantto do that.  So I just wear them as is.<br /><br />If I decide to have the straps cropped, I'll update my review.
