Good selection of tips. The sole is pretty firm and even with gels my feet hurt after a two mile WALK. I have 6 pair of Teva shoes/boots. The fabric doesnt seem prone to snagging, even with the velcro straps. Fantastic sandals and so comfy. Thank you, Nootkas, for making something that was wrong, right, and without me even asking. oh well. Other reviewers are right, though. I think the author is trying to portray the country hillbilly lifestyle through dialect, but it just ends up being annoying and distracting. I really did.
