I love Teva sandals. I've owned two pairs over the years, and I've worn them into the ground (which is hard to do! Let me tell you... they're made to last!) however, this was my first time buying this particular model. While I was super impressed with how comfortable and supportive the footbed was, the front ankle straps caused me some chafing. The top strap near the toes also caused some major chafing (just the medial sides of both feet). I am an avid hiker, and I've worn all kinds of shoes without having this chafing problem. May I suggest that the next model of these come with some sort of neoprene padding at these key pressure points along the straps? The shoes and straps were all properly fitted, and comfortable for a couple hours. However after a rugged afternoon hike, I had to get some relieve from the chafing. So that was a little disappointing.
