Another vote for Chaco's. I am on my second pair (the first pair last 10 years and I wear them almost exclusively when it's warm). Again, they run about $100 which is a ton of money for a pair of sandals but they are so much better than Teva's relative to comfort and quality and last a looong time.I wear chaco's when i hike. They aren't boots obviously, but i spent a lot of time hiking in the smokies and never had any problems with them.
