Teva Men's Langdon Sandal Black , 8 M US

I like the extra cushioning in the sole - it makes it more comfortable to walk. And, with my back problems since the car accident, comfort is important. What's also good is that I don't have to bend all the way down to put them one like I do with my sneakers or other lace-up shoes. If my feet can't breathe, they tend to have a strong odor, so the footbed in this sandal is great for preventing odors. And, obviously, I wouldn't have bought them three times if I didn't love them! These have been my all-time favorite sandal.

Bought these just before a trip to SE Asia. Although not as colorful or style-forward as some Teva models, this pair fit my feet great and had understated, simple good looks. Wore 'em every day, walking in lots of heat, humidity, and rain. They are light, springy, and plenty supportive for my flat feet (the moderate arch support might not be enough for some folks). They are sturdy and nimble enough for hikes and light scrambling. Although they don't have aggressive treads or hiking-specific rubber, I found the traction to be fine for light off-road use. The comfy padded straps hit the right balance of support and airiness. My feet never felt swampy, and after weeks of hot daily use, they didn't smell bad. I'm tempted to order another pair, in case they stop making these before mine wear out. Note, I ordered a full size smaller (12) than my regular size (13).
