ODOR: I came to these sandals because of the zinc embedded anti-biotic properties, and after two summers of heavy use I, and more importantly my family, rate this feature five stars. A few times I thought this had failed, but after a good rinse and sun soak they stayed odor free. 6 out of 5<br /><br />FIT: I have wide feet, and normally wear a half size larger just to keep from blowing out the sides of shoes. I decided not to do that and the front strap accepted my foot without having a half-inch of sandal sticking past my toes. See below for issues with the ankle strap fit. 3 out of 5<br /><br />DAMP/WET WEAR: The sandals were adequate in wet situations. The foot bed became slick and due to the flat surface the entire sandal would be unstable. They dried quickly and bounced right back. Not the best I've had for wet use, but far better than most 3 out of 5<br /><br />DESIGN: The ankle strap is designed to be closed on a pre-teen or woman's foot. Few men have ankles small enough to fit in the opening that the strap creates when the velcro is closed as in the product pictures! This leads to the problem on so many reviews about the velcro strap catching/sticking making a frequent struggle when putting on and removing the sandals. It also lead to only about an inch of the velcro every being used, so any type of ankle or foot swelling would require tight fits just to get the strap fastened. I did also experience the issues with the front strap rubbing a raw spot until the skin thickened. 2 out of 5<br /><br />DURABILITY: Finally the front strap failed with less than two years of use. I wore them frequently, and the issues with the wet wear and my wide feet certainly added stress to this strap because of the foot sliding, but I still expected them to last as longer than my previous two pairs of sandals. Both of those cost 1/3 to 1/2 as much and lasted over two years each. One of those had several more seasons left, but due to the leather bed my family insisted they go. 2out of 5<br /><br />I will try another pair of Teva's, just not this style.
