The shoe is much heavier and bulkier than the other variants Teva. For this well padded and protected, so you can sometimes walk in the mountains on a gravel field ;-) For me, the forefoot is cut not narrow enough and the tapes could not be tightened enough. Since we are not in the vacation at the beach, but like tigers to rough rocky coastline along the forefoot has been well sitzten. Too bad, really a very nice, 5 star shoe.
