Expect better from Teva - Overall I though I would get more from a Teva brand sandal. I should have gone with the Columbia brand because I have had better experience with Columbia and saved a few bucks too. Not a bad sandal but not as good looking or comfortable as other similar priced sandals. I rate these as decent but not great.

YES - Finally found the right sandal. Can be tightened in three places, it's rigid bottom is great for hiking, it also looks good as a dress sandal and most of all is comfortable.

Great! My son loves this sandal. It is comfortable, rugged looking and goes great with shorts and jeans.

Very nice comfortable shoe. The only shoe I wear when not working. The only issue I have is the arch support doesn’t seem to spread out across the arch of my foot. After wearing for a few minutes you get use to it.

Early Sole Separation - I bought the shoe in 11M. It fit OK (not good for semi-wide to wide feet). They were comfortable right off the bat but the comfort began to fade rather quickly as if the foam underfoot was not durable enough. I only used them for a month in light conditions and the sole on the heel came off. Not happy. I owned a pair of Teva’s in the past and they lasted forever with great comfort. They also looked a lot simpler too, not so many flashy bells and whistles. I am not sure if they are compromising quality these days or if my pair was just a fluke. Either way, this pair just fell apart too quick for me. I am returning them for Chaco Diamond Stealth’s and hoping for the best.

Good Fit - I liked the fit, the buckle and adjustment system. They feel good to wear and don't get as hot as regular Teva's I have had before with the vents. Wish it was available in more of a black overall color.

Great Support - Great Feel! I just got these yesterday, so I have not worn them long, but the fit is much more precise than another pair I just replaced, and there is a definite feeling of support in my arch (at least for me). The footpad is supportive yet soft, and sinks in a bit with weight put on it. My wife and I think they looked good too. If I were to buy another pair, I might go up just 1/2 a size (to 10 1/2). I'm not saying they are too small, they are not, but I do not think a 1/2 inch extra wouldn’t hurt, either. Especially true if you are considering the "Toachi" that has the covered big toe...make sure it is big enough!! So far, so good! I like 'em!

Great shoe that feels wonderful. From the first time I tried it on, it felt great. Great arch support and padding for the entire foot.

Teva is a great choice! Very stylish, comfortable and durable. Toe strap has only limited adjustment. Great arch support, especially if you have very high arches like me!

Bottom fell out - Bought 2 months ago and the soles have literally come unglued - both shoes. One strap was actually too long - had to cut it down to size. Squeaks quite a bit after they get wet. Very comfortable shoe, but very poor quality.

Docker's Gordon Model - I have owned one other air of these "dress" shoes and could not find another pair of shoes which were aa great a price and comfortable. These are a great value for what you get.

Dockers Gordon - Good shoe, but the inside light colored lining is plainly visible around the ankle. In fact, this lining is visible in the picture of the shoe, also. I had to take a Sharpie to color the lining black to hide it.

Good Looking, Comfortable Shoe at a Good Price - I just received my pair of Docker's Gordon shoes (black) today. They were more comfortable than expected and they looked great. The style, not pointy and not boxy, as well as the "satin-shine", is perfect for the dressy casual office.

hard break-in - the seam over the toe is hard and digs into the top of your feet. Still in the early breakin period, hope it gets beter

Pleased Customer - I have found shopping for shoes at Zappos a real pleasure. There is a wide range of shoes to select from and their prices are very competitive. Perhaps what I like most of all is the free shipping and the ability to track the delivery of my order. Great stuff guys. Keep it up! Keith

Great shoes at a great price - I have been wearing Doc Martens for the last few years and have grown to love them. I decided to try a new shoe this time around that looked a little more dressy. These shoes feel great and look good as well and had a short break-in period.

Like all dress shoes that have comfortable and substantial rubber soles, these shoes may seem a bit heavy when first worn. However, after being worn once or twice you realize that these ave very comfortable - a good shoe for long periods on your feet.
