Excellent. I think I tried every brand and model of flip flops, slippers, sandals that exists. These are ridiculously comfortable, true to size, and are not bulky like other comfortable brands and models. In addition, they are as close to good looking as you can ask for in a flop.

These are the best flip flops that I have purchased. The sole is very easy to clean (significant improvement over the previous model), and you can walk with them for long distances without hurting your feet. I have already purchased a second pair.

The best #1 thong sandals! I was wearing a pair of croc thong sandals I bought last year. The piece by the toe broke so I had to toss them. I was just going to get another pair, but thought I would look around for more sturdy/snug thong sandals. I saw these surfing around on Zappos. At first glance I totally loved them. The reviews were very high so I decided to order them. I have a wide foot (11 EE womens) and wasn't sure if the men's D would fit me right. I ordered a 10D in Mens. I received them in a few days. Let me tell you they fit me perfect to the tee like they were molded for my feet! They look sharp & are absolutely super comfortable. I liked my crocs, but these have out beat them by a long shot. I love them so much I can't tell you enough.

This is the perfect sandal for anyone who wants to wear a thong sandal, but find them too uncomfortable. That was me until I bought the women's Elixer. They were comfortable from the 1st minute I put them on & have since bought them in other colors. I convinced my husband to get a pair or the men's Elixer's & he was so impressed with the fit that he convinced my son (who has problems with arthritis in his feet) to get a pair & he also loves them. Besides being comfortable, this sandal is extremely durable; we wear them on wooded trails & through the rocky streams. My original pair is now 6 years old & shows little signs of wear, even though they're worn all the time. I highly recommend this style of Teva for men & women!

I\'ve shopped at Zappos for about 6 years and have always received GREAT service. The products are top quality and prices are lower than anywhere else - even the brand-name websites! They ship right away and take returns without a hassle. No complaints whatsoever - everything is perfect.

Purchased as a replacement for similar Teva pair of sandals I wore almost daily for four years. The versatility of places you can wear this sandal and quality of construction is unmatched by any other sandal I have owned. From chores around the house to mild hiking in the woods (where appropriate) and everywhere between, these are the first pair I reach for of many in the closet. True fit and great comfort and they also stay fresh smelling. Great sandal.

This is my first, but not last, pair of Teva products. Excellent sports "Flip Flop" for the dollars. The construction is a great fit and walking in these flip flops is easy. They run somewhat big, but it is still a good buy.

I got these shoes for my wife. We bought a pair 3 years ago & she loved them but the sole came off. Living in Florida she wore them year round & when they broke she was so upset I had to find her another pair. She loves them so much we will be ordering more in the nere future. Thanks J&J

These are the best flip flops out there for men that are for every day. They are comfortable, they keep your foot centered on the bed unlike other flip flops where you end up walking on the ground due your foot sliding. They also have a great traction sole so you can use them for like hiking.

These sandals seem to be well made and look comfortable, but they run large. Unfortunately, I will be returning them because they are at least one size too big.

You can not buy a better made, more comfortable flip flop. They are absolutely the best and I've tried them all. Plus with Zappos you get great customer service. Fast free shipping. I highly recommend the shoe and Zappos.

I have been ordering this men’s sandal to wear for myself and friends because it’s comfortable especially for women with wide size feet. It’s an all around shoe that can be worn all summer to different occasions. I have friends overseas that request this sandal all the time.

On-On -
After receiving my Teva Elixer 5, I tested their durability by wearing them for a half-marathon. For the past six months, I've ran them uphill, downhill, through the creek, through the coral-bottom ocean (they float) and back. These sandals have held up like a champ. I will definitely purchase another pair, if these ever wear out.

I absolutely love these sandals. I have a large foot and it is very hard to find any shoes, let alone, a fashionable one that fits well and is comfortable. Service from Zappos is impeccable and expedient. Love the shoes and the service. It's the only place I get my shoes!!!

I read some reviews before purchasing these flip flop sandals and they stated that they ran large [and they do] but I found this to be a benefit for me I have other pairs of flip flops in a size 14 and my toes are right at the end of the sandal, I can't tell you how many times I have smacked my toes into stairs and rocks and such. My Teva Sandals are a good 1/2" longer than my longest toe and protect my feet they also have a rugged well cushioned sole and they look great. As always your service is second to none!

A word about fit and sizing...
First, these are great sandals I do highly recommend them. But many reviews here felt they run larger. I agree. I normally wear a 1.0.5 or 11 depending on the brand, mostly 11 (Actually, like many folks, my feet are different with the left foot being closer to an 11 while my right a 10.5 - so every pair of shoes never fit perfect!) I ordered these in a 10 after reading the reviews. At first, I thought they were too small, and I strongly considered trading for my normal size 11's. With the strap pushed all the way (but not discomforting) between my bid toe and "index toe", my heel comes almost up to the end the sandal, which is curved upward. There was no extra room. To some, this may be a perfect fit - others may consider this tight. If my foot was at an angle (for example, worn while driving with my feet on the pedals), or if I had them on loosely (strap not all the way in between toes) my heel threatened to come off the back end - but didn't. Yet the front of the sandals seemed to have ample room with some of the foot bed overhanging from my toes. Maybe I have short toes; I don't know. Also, the part that wraps over the top of the foot was not too tight nor loose, just about right. However, this part seemed to not align with the sandal bed - as my foot was in the strap correctly, but the bed was on crooked, or if a twisted it so the bed was on straight, the top wrap would be pulled tight on one side and loose on the other. After a break-in period of 2 - 3 weeks, this problem has seemed to work itself out, and the sandal fits well now - not crooked. Again, maybe it's just the way my feet are built. Lastly, after wearing to the pool, wet feet did not fit as well into the sandal as dry feet, and had to work hard to insert my wet feet. Again, this problem seems to be getting better with time and wear as well. In closing, a great overall sandal, but be aware of some potential sizing issues that mostly work themselves out after the initial break-in.

I really like these sandals. The fit is great, they have great arch support, and I really like the new bottom they've put on these. I've had this sandal in the past and this new bottom really provides a lot better traction than the previous version. I really like the color options, too, and Zappos.com had the best price I could find for these sandals.

My favorite Flip-flop -
I've been a Teva Elixer wearer for the last 10 years!! I just bought my third pair. These flip-flops are comfortable, durable, and the microban keeps them from smelling. My Elixers are daily worn (when it's warm enough) and have been great at the beach, during easy to medium technical hikes, and day-to-day. They are more expensive than most flip-flops but you get what you pay for...I average about 5 years per pair.

My favorite, most comfortable pair of shoes. Great arch support. They seem to get more comfortable the more you wear them. I still own my last pair of 6 years and they're still very comfortable, minus most of the tread on the bottom. Highly recommended.

Two thumbs up to Teva for the shoe and Zappos for their speedy delivery. I never thought I would spend this kind of money on a sandal, but it was well worth it. The sandal is comfortable, arch support is amazing, and sole gives good grip. Had the sandal for only a few days now, but I expect it to be my main shoe for the summer!

My fave flip -
This is my 3rd pair in 6 yrs. This is the only flip flop I wear. Sturdy enough 4 light hiking, dries quickly when wet. Looks great with jeans and khakis. I’ll continue 2 buy until they stop making them.

If you have wide feet, don't size down -
Based on the other reviews here, I ordered a size 13 for my boyfriend (who would usually take a 14 or 13 wide). This was simply not big enough. He said that the band was too tight across his foot. So, for all you guys with wide feet, don't size down!! I called Zappos about an exchange today, and they said they would ship out the size 14's before I even mailed the size 13's back! So, even if you get the wrong size, you know the exchange will be hassle-free. Thanks Zappos!
