text: We have been very loyal to this brand but my kids tell me the support is not good and the soles feel less thick than their old Tevas.  They usually hike in Tevas and all of them complain that these are not comfortable.  I will be changing brands for the youngest and I will make sure that the older boys get the adult sized Tevas which I suspect are thicker soled and made more sturdy.  They have held up well to a lot of abuse though.
