I wear Teva Tirras almost year round Southern California. They are so comfortable and I feel safe from falls in them. I am older and that is important . This color is beautiful. Highly recommend this style and color.
I bought these thinking they were slimmer versions of the Tirra. I tore my Posterior Tibial Tendon and it has never healed perfectly. Thus, I love the high arch in Tirra as it supports the foot like the custom orthotics. The Vera has a good arch, but not for my foot and I actually returned them. Still, I want you to know that I liked the look and only wish they had the arch support of the Tirra.
I wear socks with them sometimes, sometimes not, depending on weather and the occasion. I love the back loop for help when my socks are thick. Only one strap for on-and-off. Comfy enough long walks.
