Ouch! My Teva sandals are hurting my feet!

Last year, I owned Teva XLT2 sandals, and they never gave me any problems. I bought a new pair that I've only been wearing for about a week, in the same size and brand but a different color. However, the straps are cutting into the tops of my feet. I understand you have to break in sandals, but my last pair from last summer never gave me any issues. While I have just little cuts on my feet now, I'm worried that if I continue wearing them, they'll cause bigger cuts, which has happened with past sandals. I'm also a little heartbroken because the straps on the new pair are hurting me, whereas last summer they worked beautifully and I wore them to Disney World without any issues. I'm planning another trip to Disney, and if these sandals don't work out, I don't know what other brands or styles to buy, especially since I can't wear thong sandals if all the straps are cutting into my feet.

Have you ever tried Oofos? They're such an awesome shoe! I believe they can help with plantar fasciitis too! It was the sandals that I was referring to!

Chacos are very similar but a different strap layout. I know that you can adjust all the straps on Chacos, maybe you need to adjust the Teva straps some (if able)?

I number ONE tip to NEVER wear new footwear to the theme parks!

Use your most comfortable BROKEN IN footwear to use in the parks!

Fashion must take a back seat here.

If they hurt now, it will be impossible at the parks. I don't like open toed shoes at the parks. Just too much that can happen for them to be safe. I would take those back if you can and see about a different style. I would also just take broken in gym shoes.

That is so true. Most just don't have the support or comfort to be on your feet all day. As someone that has worked on their feet for over 35 years, you want to have a good supporting shoe. Once you mess up your feet, there is no fixing them.
