Teva Men's Ankle Strap M Hurricane XLT2

I've owned Teva Sandals off and on since they were first introduced. I've logged hundreds (if not thousands) of miles wearing Tevas over the years. The Hurrican XLT2 reminds me of the original Tevas I used to wear back in the '90s. Comfortable, holds my foot in place, no slipping when hiking, great traction, and durable.

Having enjoyed two previous sandals of this design, I was ready to order a replacement. I was happy with the similar look of this new sandal, but after wearing them for two days I had six open sores on my feet. The reason? The new (identical) design didn't have the previous padding on the underside of the nylon straps that the predecessors had. I can't wear them and wasted my money.

I spent a week in Egypt walking in the desert and along the rocks of the ruins and pyramids. The whole time my feet were cushioned in the sandals. It felt almost as if I wasn't walking on rocks at all. They are extremely comfortable.

I bought my first pair of Tevas in 2007 for a trip to South Africa and they were perfect and I wore them for many years. I've been buying Tevas since then and every pair I buy has been changed a bit and this years may be the last pair because they feel cheaper and less comfortable as the years go by but they cost the same or more. Originally I liked the way they formed to my foot but recent purchases don't seem to form as well. I wear them to walk sometimes 8-9 miles a day mostly on pavement but also through the woods and at the beach. Please don't twerk them any more or I will look elsewhere

Could wear every day, all day. Bought a men's size because of the color. Size 8 mens compare perfectly to women's 10. On the phone they said to take a men's 9, but that was miles, miles too big.
