I love this slide. My first pair lasted for years. I teach water fitness at least once a week and this shoe helps me grip the bottom of the pool. I also am enrolled in water fitness classes once or twice a week. In addition I wore these sandals for a week hiking in the Galapagos Islands. So these sandals took quite a beating from me. When the bottom separated on one sandal, the Teva company graciously gave me a credit allowing me to buy another pair. The sandals are also comfortable as I have a high arch. They have never given me blisters.
I have 4 pairs of the Hurricane XLT's. It is like not wearing anything on your feet. The company stands behind their products. I've only had to return one and the process is very easy and the company did everything to accommodate me. I have recommended these to many people.
