The Teva Agate Thong flip-flop combines rugged looks with superior comfort.  This shoe is a must-have for dudes this summer.  The Teva Agate Thong is water resistant, and features full-grain leather and an anatomically-shaped, molded EVA footbed.  The Microfiber footbed cover comes equipped with ALF anti-bacterial treatment, and an encapsulated Shoc Pad™. Non-marking, Traction Rubber® outsole.
 

The Fit

The Teva Agate Thong is a true-to-size fit.  You don’t have to go up or down when sizing this shoe, so buying online is a safe bet.  No need for returns if you order your regular size.
 

Comfort

The Teva Agate Thong made the DudeRated.com list of summer shoes because it is one of the most comfortable set of flips you can get for under $75.  The comfort is most noticeable at the heel, which seems to mold to fhe foot, giving the sensation that is similar to the Nike Shox system featured in Nike sneakers.  The rest of the foot support features an anatomically-shaped, molded EVA footbed, with an encapsulated shock pad for enhanced comfort.

This flip-flop is great for everyday wear because the tread on the bottom has excellent grip.  The all-purpose tread makes it suitable for walking the streets of New York City as well as bumming it on the beach.

Quality

The Teva Agate Thong feels solid and durable.  The construction quality and materials finish feels like that of a much more expensive shoe.  I paid $59 for this shoe at Zappos.com, and I am thoroughly impressed.
