I bought these to replace a similar model Teva sandal that was many years old and the most comfortable footwear I have ever owned! The only problem was that they were not well made and I glued them back together countless times until they became un-repairable. These are not quite a squishy/supportive comfortable but appear to be very well made. Not to say they aren't comfortable because they are, very much so. The comfort bar was set pretty high with the other pair I had but with these I don't think I'll be carrying pieces home in my pocket...that will be nice...
