I bought these to replace my old Teva's Style S/N 6800 that were 10 years old and I just LOVED. While they look like my previous style, they were not as comfortable, especially for hiking. This new style has exposed, stiff, nylon straps that cut into your ankle and top of foot. If you did not do much walking in them, or wore socks with them, they would do fine. The footbed is very comfortable and supportive and the straps are adjustable to give a secure feel. I returned these and bought style 1001474, Terra Fi Lite, which are padded and more comfortable, more like my previous 6800 pair, even though they look different in style. I miss the 6800.
