Teva Water

The Women's Teva Toachi sandal comes in two versions - the Toachi and Open Toachi.  (The Toachi version provides coverage for the front of the foot while the Open Toachi has an open front - with a traditional Teva sandal look.)  Both versions of the Toachi come from the "Pro" series in the Teva line, and have more "bells and whistles" than can easily be listed on a single page!  But - if you're looking for a great water or general active-wear shoe, here are some details that might be helpful to know:

• Water shoe technology:  As a water shoe, the Toachi may just be the best sandal ever made.  The technology used in creating this shoe includes the idea of remaining lightweight and easy to wear under any conditions - even in water.  They have special drainage ports that allow water to flow through while wading, while also providing an escape once out of the water - no "squishy" sound or feel.  They dry quickly and are quite lightweight as well.
• Hiking or walking shoe:  The women's Teva Toachi is also a great choice as a general shoe for active wear - it's known to be worn on all-day hikes without a hitch, seldom creating blistering or rubbing problems with feet or feeling too weighty to be comfortable for long periods of time.  In fact, per consumer reviews they are claimed to feel like "walking on air" while remaining stable and extremely useful under any environmental conditions.

With all of these pluses (and more), I would highly recommend the Women's Teva Toachi (or Open Toachi) for ladies who need such footwear for occasions when such a "Pro" sandal is needed.  Of course it would also make a comfortable shoe for everyday wear, but with the "bells and whistles" comes a bit of a higher price - full retail price for these shoes is around $90-$95.  If you are simply looking for a comfortable, cool looking pair of Tevas, other styles such as the Pretty Rugged 2 or Hurricane 3 might be a better choice, their price also being a bit less.
