Well I have had many pairs of Tevas and Hurricane is my favorite style. The males were cheaper and a darker blue color, so I decided to try them out to see if they performed as well as the females. THEY ARE BETTER. WTH. Cushioning in men's shoes is MUCH BETTER than women's shoes - I think that's a joke. The straps are better (and longer) apart from being a bit longer for my legs. Everything around is better. Teva needs to go one step further and make women like men. Because women run/play too :/
