When I put on the Teva for the first time, I hardly went in with my foot. When I had into it made me weary, it was as if this shoe a whole number too small. He pressed my foot from all sides firmly. So I wore it a few hours in order einzulaufen. The material gave way and adapted itself formally on my foot. Normally I wear orthotics. But were not necessary because the "Teva The Links" so ideally adapted themselves to the foot shape that the feet have been formally stabilized. The shoes were stuck and yet they are no longer oppressed. In addition their massive processing. The overall quality of these shoes has surprised me positive arg. The elastic lace-ups can be an excellent tie, are tight and not too long. Teva even puts more per shoe two spare laces so. The Sole has a good grip. It can be a little difficult at first run in, but they are then after a few hours. As for the climate, so keep them in the cold and warm at room temperature, does not begin even to sweat in it (but is different for each person). I was with these shoes as much as 10 hours on the road. Bin rail dangers hours walking around in the city and in the City Gallery. Permanent changes in temperature, sometimes cold, sometimes really warm etc. At the end of the day I have put off these shoes and my feet were not sweaty, nor had the material by the body heat any unpleasant odors. And the best part: My feet do not hurt! Because usually I can not walk more than an hour, without that I get massive pain in the feet, legs and back without orthotics. It was surprisingly at the Teva not the case.
My rating: Excellent!
PS: To all who shun leather: these shoes are made entirely of plastic.
Addendum: The material on the top can be caused by too much moisture. You walk through a wet meadow, the feet are wet front and on the back foot.
