The "weird" with the ride, as reported another reviewer, I can not quite understand. I have received this week the sandals and am testing it went a whole day at my house around with it. Upstairs, downstairs, again from memory in the basement, really the whole day. They are super easy and absolutely comfortable. Nothing pinches or tweaks a wonderful ride! I had bought a pair of parallel Teva that look almost the same and equivalent from the processing quality (I stress equivalent good - but not necessarily better), but more than 3 times as much have tasted. I'm going to the Tewa return, I can understand the massive price difference at all. I am looking forward to a summer with these great inexpensive, very solid sandals!
