The shoes are comfortable, but they stink. It took a week or more for the plastic/rubber odor to dissipate. Zappos does provide great service! They get six stars.

Love the foot bed! The arch support is good and there is plenty of cushioning in the heel. I can wear them all day at a theme park and my feet still feel good and it doesn't matter if they get wet. They are a bit wide so I use the extra strap over my arch to secure it on my somewhat narrow foot. My only complaint is that the little slide used to hold down the extra strap length is on the wrong side of the adjuster. I had to stretch it over the plastic adjuster to hold down the extra strap otherwise I have about 3" of strap flapping on top of my foot while I walk.

These sandals are cute but not the Teva quality I remember. First, they arrived absolutely stinking of rubber. And the soles, after only five weeks, are already wearing out. A sad waste of money, I\'m afraid.

Zappos is totally awesome! I ordered my sandals yesterday and today the UPS driver was at my door. I have used Zappos on several occasions and you truly have the best customer service I have ever experienced and you have a large selection and great prices. That says it all.

Ok, the bottom of these shoes are so sticky! I only wore them around my house for a few minutes and they picked up every single hair and particle of dirt that I stepped on. I had to return them. There\'s no way that I want to walk around town picking up every piece of trash. Plus, the strap was not comfortable and the extra adjustable strap just didn\'t make sense. I hope I don\'t have any trouble returning them, that sticky sole thing is really a bad design flaw by Teva. I\'ll stick with Keens in the future.

These shoes STUNK! I had to get them out of my room, because the plastic odor was overwhelming. Additionally, they were sticky on the bottoms, squeaked when I was walking in them, and they very quickly were packed back up for a return. Thank goodness for the return policy.

Not as comfortable as I was hoping, but an OK shoe. I have a hard time getting the support strap to stay tight. I know that flip flops make a flip flop noise, but this one seems especially loud without the back strap on. I was also looking for a more supportive flip flop. I think this one looks more sporty and supportive than it actually is.

Reviewer: Cate D from Texas
Overall:5 stars   Comfort:5 stars   Look:5 stars

Teva knows what they’re doing. This is a perfect thong. The straps go from a regular thong to unloosing the extra one so it straps over the top of your foot which really looks cute but also holds you into the shoe better. The color brown is beautiful with the name in purple and the heel shock pad which I love also in purple. It’s plenty wide so my feet feel protected like it’s in a cradle. The straps are a tiny bit stiff and I can tell they will need some wearing in. The only thing to watch out for is the size. I have 3 other Teva's all Ossagons and they are a 6.5. This one is a 5 and it fits perfect. So I don’t know what happens with sizing, it would be nice if you could trust it would stay the same at least within one shoe brand but that’s where Zappos steps in and saves us with excellent reviews and free shipping and returns so I ordered more than one size and don’t have to pay for it and end up wearing my new one the day after I ordered!

Great walking flip flop - I do a lot of walking in the summer & get tired of tennis shoes. These are very comfortable and stylish. Looking forward to a great summer with them!

Yeah! A flip flop that fits and is comfortable - I ordered these with some concern, because I have another pair of Tevas that rubbed on the outside of my foot, which is pretty wide. They are wonderful! They fit great and look great with no getting used to. If you have a wide foot and are looking for flips, these are the ones. Narrow feet? Probably not.

Ultimate Thong - I've had a few versions of the ultimate thong and these are BY FAR the most comfortable and best looking of them in quite a few years. I love the part at the heel, it makes it super comfortable.

I actually like this sandal. I use this type of shoe for out door work in the summer. I was replacing another Teva sandal that fell apart after several years of wear. I found that I needed a full size larger to give the extra room I like.

I really liked this thong. It was casual yet you could wear it with a skirt. I ordered another pair because I liked the price and fit. I love Teva shoes. They are the only ones that I can wear right now since I have a foot problem.

Cool Hip Thong - I love this thong. Okay, so the straps are a little tight on my feet (but I have extremely wide feet with high arches). The sandals are very generously cut, accommodating my wide feet (just not the instep). I just wish the straps were a bit looser and a little further up on the shoe. I also have short toes, so there is a little bit of extra space at the top. I find that this shoe runs true to size. I wear an 8 wide in Chaco's, and between an 8.5 and a 9 in Keens (depending on whether the shoe is open or closed toed). With the Teva's, the 8.5 fits me perfectly. I was worried it might be too big, because I had read somewhere that the Ultimate Thong (the 2006 model) runs way big. Not so with the 2008's. I would go with your true size. Also, this sandal has great traction. I'm not a river guide- but I do chase around my 2 year old at the pool. Definitely no slippage! And the extra strap secures your foot nicely (and looks cool, if you are an outdoor poser like myself). I hope this review helps! As always, Zappos has top notch service- delivering my sandals in less than 24 hours. If only everybody was as good as Zappos!

Teva Therapy... This is a great shoe for fit and stability. I had a broken ankle and needed a shoe that I could wear with my air gel cast, and this was a super choice. The stability strap and contoured heel provide a ton of support. My only issue would be that the strap between the toes rubs quite badly. But that's what band aids are for... Overall, great shoe!

Other brands recommended by reviewer: Any and all Teva products. Keen wearers might also enjoy!

Great grip, can't wait to see how they work on the boat - I was looking for a pair of thongs that would keep me steady on a dive boat with an almost always wet deck and I found them! They seem to run a bit large (I bought an 8.5 instead of 9) I like the keeper strap idea, which allows for a more secure fit when the going gets rough and tucks away nicely across the band when not needed.
