Review on Teva Hurricane Sport Sandal Trail Men's Shoes: The Perfect Athletic Footwear by Myron Lovro

I've been wearing Teva sandals for decades but now they've ruined all their sandals with a contoured insole with a raised heel and a ball pit and built in arch support. In the image shown, I placed a strip of yellow tape over the raised arch support to show how much arch this contoured insole created (as opposed to the flat-footed Tevas, which I originally liked). The human foot is not designed to support weight on an arch (which works like a suspension bridge). But now it seems like every sandal manufacturer is following Teva, like having integrated arch supports built into the footbed is popular or trendy. These arch supports gave me a lot of pain in my arches (which should be free of stress). I even recently ordered Teva sandals marked "Original" but even they were ruined by high arches and a soft insole that caused pain in my feet. The insole must not be too hard, otherwise it will cause pain, and it must not be too soft so that it is not supported. These Hurricane sandals were a little firmer in the footbed than the latest model's so-called "Originals," but were also ruined by the contoured insole. If I had known that I would not be able to find the same Teva sandals I had in the past, I would not have thrown away my old ones but would have tried to repair them. I've now ordered a pair of sandals from a non-US based company, hoping they don't follow the same American trend of ruining good firm and consistent insoles with the now fashionable contoured (one-piece) base type built-in high arch. support (buckles) in them. I added a picture of hippie sandals, which was the only way to find sandals with no contoured insole, no raised heels, and no soft cushioned insole. However, they proved useless as the extremely hard ground caused pain in the legs when walking on a hard ground. These hippie-style stiff sandals only work if someone has been going barefoot for years and has developed huge thick calluses on the soles. At least the suspension system is still the best at Teva compared to the hippie sandals that were a complete joke. Now I'm desperate for sandals like the Tevas I've worn for decades (before they ruined all of their current styles) and everyone else has followed suit.
