text: A well made &#34;heavy&#34; sandal. Not to be confused with the original Terra Fi sandal that was much lighter construction and  that  wore out quickly. Also not to be confuse with Terra Fi Lite sandal which weighs much less. You now have a choice between an all day walking sandal and a lighter version for watersports/walking. Teva dumped the &#34;spider soles&#34; that never gripped as advertised and fell apart with little use.<br />These newer sandals have a more  muti purpose sole. I own both.  I live in Puerto Vallarta, Mx. (15 yr.s) where an all-weather sandal is a must especially during rainy season.  Leather doesn't hold up well.
