I have been wearing sandals daily for 15 years during the summer because they are open for the beach and provide support for hiking and driving. These specific ones are the best. No issues with water, they hold the foot well even when wet, and they dry relatively quickly. The construction quality seems excellent after a month of use. Of course, they are very comfortable and did not hurt me at all in the beginning. The straps are properly placed with sturdy buckles and Velcro (unlike my previous Teva sandals that did not have them properly positioned and the large Velcro tied at the end, in the last 2 centimeters, no matter how I tied the other two). The sole has very good grip and stability, not only on the beach (rocks, pebbles, etc.), but also on island trails. Finally, they are beautifully designed and I could even use them for a casual evening outing, although I don't usually do that (at that time, I usually have them washed and drying from the day's activities). Probably the best sandals I have tried.
