hot look, problematic fit By Eddie Bear from Bristol, VT on 07/15/2009 Pros: Breathes Well, Comfortable, Durable, Good Arch Support, Lightweight, Stylish Cons: Ankle too narrow to close Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual, Conservative, Stylish, Trendy Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This shoe really looks great and feels great--except I could not close the ankle buckle because the strap was too short--even when fully extended--to close over my ankle. That rendered the shoe unusable--and even going up a size into a shoe that was too long did not help. If you have wide feet, muscular ankles or just plain big bones, this one will not adjust enough to buckle across the ankle. I had to return both pairs I ordered.
By Larry the bike nut from Westlake, Oh. on 07/14/2009 Pros: Breathes Well, Comfortable, Durable, Good Arch Support, Lightweight Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear, Travel Describe Yourself: Conservative Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought a pair of these a little more than a year ago, after reading the review in National Geographic. Great for casual, and enough support and protection for cycling. The first pair are still in good shape, but I've found out during my years that if you really like something, that when it is time to replace it, the manufacturer has changed or discontinued it. I bought this pair to put away, so that when I wear out the first pair, I'll still have a pair to wear.
Great Sandals; Perfect in Every Way By Amorphous from Great Smoky Mountains National Park on 07/13/2009 Pros: Breathes Well, Comfortable, Durable, Good Arch Support, Lightweight Best Uses: Hiking, Woods Walking Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought these sandals for a specific purpose. When hiking in the woods in any other sandals, twigs, stones, and all sorts of stuff would kick up from the back and get between my foot and the sandal. I had to frequently stop and shake this debris out. What a hassle! These sandals have backs on them and prevent that while allowing the comfort and feel of wearing sandals. They are simply great.

Waiting to receive the size #13 on order.

Good sandals with a couple of flaws By Ponyface from Saint Paul, Minnesota on 07/07/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Arch Support, Lightweight, Stylish Describe Yourself: Outdoor monster Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've had my Wraptors for about a year and they've held up much better than I thought they would. I really put my sandals through a pounding so that's saying a lot. The uni-strap has only slightly frayed even with lots of sand use. The toe cover has saved me more than once.
There are 3 things that have been disappointing about the sandals.
1. The sole is rubberized with the exception of a small area in the arch that is hard plastic. while climbing, the plastic slips and it has almost cost me dearly a couple of times. Terribly dangerous! MUCHO CUIDADO!For this reason alone I will not buy another pair or any with hard bottom areas.
2.When the strap is undone, it flaps on the ground. If you're not careful you could step on it with your own sandal and it could break the plastic.It would be nice if it had some binding that wouldn't let it drag so low.
3.The screened holes that let the water drain sometimes backfire and let lots of moisture in when you walk on moist ground. In those cases a solid sole would be better. It seems I'm on moist terrain more than in the water so I guess overall the holes do more harm than good.
I would not recommend these to anyone who climbs or is serious about hiking because of the slipping but I would recommend them to anyone else.
By professor blues from new york city on 07/07/2009 Pros: Durable, Good Arch Support Best Uses: Casual Wear, Travel Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: well built. very substantial. Take the advice from others; order a halfsize up. they'll fit well. straps are very easy to use and easily adjustable. they're great in wet weather. tread is absolutely non-slip, as near as I can tell (my previous tevas could slip a little on slick pavement or floors--not these). The toeguard is good if you're on a trail, gravel, or bike. arch support is good. not as breath-able as completely open-toed tevas. however, these probably work better for day-long use. in a pinch you can use these in the gym or on a run, though i'd not want to do a whole lot of distance running in them. I've covered a lot of travel terrain walking in them & they're basically the only shoes I need for non-business travel (and I also wear them w socks to work when i don't need to do the suit thing). they're miles above shoes, even those built and advert'd for sneaker-like comfort (though these tevas may well be heavier). they are also a whole lot cheaper.where i live (east coast) tevas fly off the shelves faster than retailers can stock them. [...]in other words, they're comfortable and built like iron. (Ii would still be wearing the pair of tevas that i got in 1998 if the dog hadn't carried one of them off and either buried it somewhere or ate it. From the feel of these sandals, they're also going to outlast most of us. On that score alone I'd recommend teva.) If I were writing this in, say, the fall or spring, I'd probably give it five stars. These sandals are not quite as cool as non-strap, open-toed tevas, but they're meant for something different.
