This was an acceptable replacement for comparable discontinued Teva sandals. A few years ago there were many options for open toe sandals, but now the only option I could find was a Chinese imitation. For the price they are good. The sole is made of a significantly inferior material than the replaced ones, it felt sticky and "stretchy" at first. But as the sandals wore out (or I got used to them), that feeling went away. Overall, they're 80% as good as Tevas for 50% the price, so I'll call that a win.
