I've had Tevas before, which I wore walking the Grand Canyon.  These are a more refined version, so they seem to fit in a middle category between sneaker and dressier shoe/sandal i.e., good for errands, shopping, sightseeing.  Haven't really worn them all day.  I was going to send them back, but they really are a cute shoe.  They are more outdoorsy-looking, so they seem to work best with that type of clothing; denim skirt, walking shorts etc.  I am trusting that they will be as comfortable as my original Tevas.
