I'm not gonna lie.

At first, I thought you were so ugly. You and Chacos. I didn't understand the hype and it's probably because I was already in a committed relationship with my hot pink crocs. I couldn't think of ever leaving them, let alone replacing them with another shoe.

However, everyone started to obtain these shoes and I started seeing people wearing them around campus more and I started to see a variety of colors and patterns and thought to myself, "Wow, these shoes are really taking off!"

But, I still didn't want to buy any. I was that kind of person that liked to follow trends and wear the latest fashions and styles, but I could just not see myself ever wearing those shoes. Like cmon, they were like hiking shoes, what's the point of wearing them everyday?

Well, a few months passed and I came home from school and I happened to be scrolling through a shoe site looking for some comfy summer shoes. I found myself staring at a pair of Chacos. I think I finally saw what everyone else was seeing in these shoes!

They were super stylish and you could honestly wear them with everything. I found a pair of Chacos I liked and went to put them in my cart, when I realized how expensive they were. $105 for just ONE pair. Man did I really want a pair, but I couldn't afford to drop that much money on one item at the moment.

So, I gave up the dream of owning Chacos and continued to search for another shoe that would fit my foot AND my budget. That's when I landed on Tevas. They looked just like Chacos, but they were cheaper and had a different layout concerning the straps.

It was more like a sandal that I would have worn as a kid, one that straps everywhere, but you usually would just unstrap the back and slip it on. These shoes looked just as cute as Chacos, so I searched and searched Amazon for the perfect pair, because you know if I was going to be wearing these for awhile, I needed them to look cute.

After scrolling through my options, I found the perfect pair! They were purple with little striped designs on them and I knew that they were going to be my new favorite shoe.

When they arrived two days later, I couldn't wait to try them on. I couldn't remember the last time I was so excited about getting a new pair of shoes! They were the perfect fit and oh so comfortable. I think I wore them every other day/on the days that I didn't work. I wore them shopping, to the beach, on dates, and even for one of their soul purposes...hiking!

I'm not even mad that they give you awkward tan lines that see to last for weeks because, let's face it, no one will really notice because you're always on my feet! I'm also usually that person that always takes her shoes off whenever she walks into a house. For some reason, though, I always forget to take them off because they're just so comfy and I love wearing them that much!

Tevas, you are so comfortable and stylish and I am so thankful that I chose to bring you into my life. It was the best $50 I ever spent and I wish I could buy more of you. I'm sure that Chacos have the same effect and feel the same way, but my preference will always be with Tevas. It was hard letting another shoe into my life, because I'm so picky about my shoes and how they feel on my feet, but Tevas won my heart.
