I started having pain in my legs after wearing crocs sandals for a couple years so my physical therapist suggested I find a show with good arch support. I chose these, Chacos, Spencos, and Reefs and these are by far my favorite. They are so cushiony and light and super easy to wear. They are a little larger than I expected, and I probably could have gone down a half size from my normal solid size 9. Needless to say, the Chaco's and Reefs are going back, and while I like the Spenco's because I love a thong sandal, I am in love with these Teva's and will be buying more. I also have to add that I don't typically like a sporty look, but these look quite nice on my feet, not like an orthotic type shoe which makes the fashionista in me happy. The best part, no more leg pain!!
