I bought Teva Circuits, but it ended up that I couldn't wear them. They don't have a very high arch support and that didn't agree with my extremely high arches. For the cheapest price of Teva's I would get them off EBay. They are several people who sell brand new Teva's for an extremely reasonable price. Go to a local store first to try them on and get your proper size. I just bought a pair of Birkenstocks a couple of days ago, and I think I am going to like them. I bought the nubuck leather ones, but I did see the new water proof ones that Birkenstock has. They were very nice, and looked like leather. They are actually a material called Birkibuc, and it said that the straps don't need a break in time. The Milano (2 straps and heel strap) is made in a variety of materials, including the new Birkibuc. Anything from the new "Birki's" line is waterproof too I think. Again, EBay also has excellent prices of Birkenstock's as well as the Teva's. If you are used to the support of Birkenstocks you may not like Teva's.
