Review on Teva Womens MIDFORM Universal Sandal Women's Shoes for Athletic by Alicia Neal

Let me start by saying I bought a pair of these sandals 10 years ago and show the one on the left in the pictures.(And I still wear this pair.) I bought this pair on sale at the end of summer for $20.I was looking for another pair and thought the old ones might not last forever but they did could prove me wrong spotted others here and picked them up but paid significantly more for them at $59.95 while I'm glad to have another pair there are some differences that really stand out and that's why I give them 3 stars vs 5 stars I would give a few like my old ones 1. The straps are 1/8" smaller 2. The connecting triangles are 3/8" smaller 3. The old ones were about the same thickness as the Sole like these new ones but didn't have one e hard top or bottom that would let my foot sink into the sole and take the shape of the foot. Gravity and wear and tear have greatly affected the old ones.)4. Firmer upper and lower soles allow your foot to slide over the top and reduce traction. The new soles have a slightly different shape, so while the length is perfect, the small toe box (on the outside) flexes more quickly on the new pair, causing the straps to dig in a little more than the old ones to wrap your foot to keep flush with the sole. . The pinky toe mesh connecting triangle is closer to the sole than the old pair, which allows the edge of the triangular base to rest on the side of your toe rather than the top. Just not as comfortable as the old pair. Conclusion: NEW ORIGINAL are not very ORIGINAL. I guess I'll have to start looking at thrift stores.
