I wear Tevas outside most of the summer. I often walk for miles in them, and
they are both tough and comfortable, since they don't bind the foot
anywhere. I just have the regular kind, but they make some more substantial
ones for hiking and so forth.

I have Tevas, but much prefer Keens for comfort and for protecting my
whole foot; I've used a pair of these for years, and expect to wear
the same ones for many more since they look like new after much hiking
and paddling: http://tinyurl.com/262hzdn

The Keen protective sandal I just bought is the earlier non-boat
version of that one. What I've been wearing for years is a pair of
minimal Tevas, and I'm very impressed that they're still in good
shape, because I'm pretty hard on shoes.

I'm big on foot comfort. I refuse to wear high heels or tight pointy shoes.
I wear Dansko clogs during cool months.

I knew I'd gotten old when I no longer cared if my shoes were sexy, only
comfortable. :-) I wear Merrell Primo Chill fleece lined clogs in
winter, a lot of Born, Sofft, etc.

In my youth I suffered a lot in tight trousers and shoes because I
took the advice of female friends that they made me look a lot
sexier. I guess it was in my late twenties when it dawned on me that
the kind of woman who wanted to see more of me because of the clothes
I was wearing was rather boring. Never worn tight trousers or shoes
since :-)

I do not have loss of sensation in my feet, and since I am so often barefoot
I can see that they are not injured! In addition, when I have had a cut or
something on a toe, it has healed up within a day or two.

That's how it goes for me, too.

Me too. In fact I like getting the occasional mild foot injury,
because it gives me an opportunity to check that my feet still heal
rapidly and cleanly without inflammation.
