A single elastic lace creates the upper for this great Teva sandal. It is woven through genuine leather loops in a criss cross design and there is a toe post to keep your foot secure along with the ankle lacing. The Mush innersole conforms to your foot and the lightweight EVA -foam outer sole will keep you light on your feet. In excellent preowned condition - I wore these only one time.
