TevaMen's Katavi 2 Slide Sandal

I just got these today and have been wearing them for an hour, so they aren't broken in yet. They're very comfortable out of the box, which is a welcome change from most shoes and boots. I have a high instep and the strap over the foot is just a bit tight, but comfortable, which tells me that the padding and stitching are well-done, with no "hotspots" (painful pressure points) anywhere on either foot. They will break in with some wear and will fit just right in a few days.I normally wear a size 12 and that's the size I ordered in these. The length is just right with maybe 3/8 to 1/2 inch of extra sole at the toe and heel, which is just right so none of your foot hangs over the edges, and you have some protection for your feet from the many hazards lurking out there in the wild country (aka, the backyard, or the grocery store parking lot :-) ).My feet are about halfway between medium (D) width and wide (E) width, and my feet couldn't be much wider and have these slides still be comfortable. If your feet are an E width they will probably work fine for you with a little break in for the strap to stretch. Any wider than that and you'll probably want to look elsewhere.The footbed, arch support (yes, they actually do have decent arch support, especially for this type of shoe), the cushioning in the sole, the tread on the soles, the overall initial fit, the look, everything else about them, is top notch on first impression. I ordered the "Bungee" color, and they look exactly as pictured on the product page. They're a dark charcoal leaning toward black with good-looking brown accents.I went for a short hike to test them out, and they have great traction. It's a more aggressive tread pattern than usually found on slides and it works good on the damp grass, leaves, and dirt around the yard. They stay on my feet just fine with no need to tense up my toes to keep them on while walking.I can't speak to the durability since I just got them, and I wish Amazon wouldn't ask for durability reviews for a product that was just purchased. With that said, they look and feel very well constructed out of the box. Time will tell, and if I have a problem I will come back and update, but for now we're doing good.After an hour of owning and wearing these, I'm very happy with the purchase.

Edit: I actually realize that these run a little big so I got out the tape measure and the size 8 that I received is 11 in from heel To toe when the description on the sizing chart says 10 inches from heel To toe,. When I first got these I'm like oh yeah these pretty good but then I start to notice they kind of want to slide off your feet sometimes and how much extra room I really had. So these really aren't side correctly I guess..... besides that they're very very nice so I might need to get a size smaller I don't know.Original review:I can't quote on how durable these are going to be yet, if I have any problems with them I will edit this review and let you all know but so far I'm really enjoying these.the footbed itself was a little harder than I would have expected at first but walking around on them for a little while they start to feel a bit more squishy so they might need broken in a little bit. The footbed might be a little bit stiff but the tread is very squishy. What I mean by that is I stepped on a pretty decent sized piece of gravel and I can barely feel that I stepped on it so the atrend must have like squished around it. that's exactly the kind of thing I would expect from like an outdoor hiking type of shoe or whatever. Overall they seem very comfortable overall. they look like they're extremely well-made, they've got big thick tread on the bottom. I usually wear a size 8 or a size 9 depending on the brand of the shoe,. I ordered these in the 8th after looking at the sizing chart and they fit just perfect, from my heel to the toe my foot's about nine inches and three quarters in size 8 it's just right. when I slide my foot in there might just make sure I slide it up all the way in the Aryan my feet seem to stay put very well the top doesn't seem to be rubbing any blisters on the top of my feet or anything. So far so good except.......I ordered dark brown ones and Amazon sent me the light gray ones,. I'm looking at the order right now and I definitely ordered the dark brown ones, somebody screwed up big-time,. Big time but I'm fine with the gray ones, I just thought the darker color looked a little more manly LOLif I happen to have any issues with these I'll make sure to edit the review and let you guys know I read a lot of reviews on these even outside of Amazon it sounds like these are super durable Wwll made sandals.

slide fits comfortable and has a good base
