I love these sandals! I have a very hard time finding shoes that fit me comfortably. I bought a pair of these last summer locally, and have been looking everywhere for more. When I couldn't even locate them on the manufacturer's website, I figured I have to give up. Then I ran into them here. Service was great; obviously, selection is, too. Zappos, I love you!

I love Zappos.com. I use them as my example of good customer service, frequently. I am very happy with these sandals. I have another pair of women's Teva sandals. They are a less expensive version, but have served me well. I backpack through Central America and have walked in inches of rain with these shoes on my feet and a heavy bag on my back and they are stable, do not get slick the way many flip flops do, and are very comfortable. I haven't had the opportunity to test this pair this way, but I feel certain they are more than up to the task. These appear more substantial than my other pair. They are incredibly comfortable and the two pair are my 'go to' pair of shoes when I get home from work before I walk the dog and do other activities where my feet don't need too much protection (like they do when gardening or lawn mowing). I chose this pair because of their color and I still wear my blue/purple pair when they better match my outfit. I am extremely happy to have these and recommend them highly. The stay on your feet and adjust in many ways. They have arch support. They are incredibly comfortable for walking, standing, or while sitting around.

Have worn Tevas forever! My old pair finally needed replacing after 5 years. Found that the new styles were a bit too "chunky" for my taste except the Pretty Rugged. Super comfy straps and sole. I have found that the new bottom style is a bit slippery so be careful! Besides that I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a more feminine style of Teva.

Click here to view episodes of The Naturist.
Teva and Zappos have partnered together to launch The Naturist, a new online web series, starring Gavin McInnes. The Naturist is often called an outdoor expert. We completely agree... he is an expert at what not to do while outdoors. Fortunately, he has one thing going for him, the new Teva© Riva. Thanks to features like an aggressive lug design and a waterproof and breathable membrane, The Naturist can be sure that even when everything else goes wrong, his feet will still be comfortable and protected.
Founded in 1984, Teva began with an unassuming Grand Canyon River Guide and an idea that would become the world's very first Sports Sandal.
The first pairs of Teva footwear were sold out of a van to friends and fellow boaters at the various put-ins along the river. Coupling the freedom of a flip-flop with the security of an ankle strap, the "Original" was an instant hit and quickly became the shoe of choice within the guide community.
From this beginning a culture of passion for outdoor adventure has defined the Teva lifestyle. The name Teva, pronounced "Teh'-vah", comes from a Hebrew word meaning nature and the hand in the logo is derived from the symbolic language of the Hopi people. When translated, the hand is a symbol for friendship and the spiral a symbol for water, giving Teva their creed: "friendship with water."
Moving into the next 25 years, Teva remains committed to both the innovation in footwear suited for the adventurous lifestyle and the protection of the earth's waterways.

I just love Teva Pretty Rugged Two. This is my third pair and I have walked for many miles in them and they have always been wonderfully comfortable. An added feature is that they are nice looking enough to wear with a pretty skirt if you are walking several miles to dinner as we usually do. I also want to mention the employees that I have dealt with at Zappos. They provide absolutely the very best in customer service. It is always a pleasure to do business with Zappos. I recommend them to everyone I know.

I just couldn't get over how ugly they looked -
Was looking for a sandal I could walk for miles in while on our Italy vacation. As soon as I tried these on with a skirt, I knew I wouldn't get over the ugliness of them. This may be a good shoe for the beach or hiking in Maine, but I just couldn't see myself wearing them. I think I'd be better off with a tennis shoe. Made my feet look like boats. Also, I think the strap by my little toe would have blistered after a long walk. I could feel that as soon as I put it on. Back they went.

I wore these all over France and Italy. The adjustable straps are perfect for the inevitable travel induced swelling. They are waterproof and dry quickly. For me, they ran a bit large but the adjustment features took care of that problem. My husband even borrowed them for a dip in the rocky Mediterranean, then ordered his own when we returned.

This is a nice sandal (got blue flower). At first I was thinking it didn't look like there was any arch support but I've got to admit that they've been incredibly comfortable. Obviously there is some sort of support, whether it looks like it or not, as my feet are not "complaining" at all. The footbed is quite cushy (I like that). I've had no problems with strap adjustment and they've definitely fit my feet though I will say these are a bit shorter in length than my old Tevas; not enough for me to go up a size though, but my toes are close to the edge. I prefer a thicker sole, but I would buy these again. I think they look quite attractive on as they aren't as bulky as other Teva styles. Love this company! Zappos rocks!

I just love my new pink Nylon Teva sandals. My only wish is that they would come with more arch support. The adjustable straps make my wide feet very comfortable without having to break the shoes in.

I bought my first pair of Pretty Ruggeds 10 years ago and was thrilled by every aspect - fit, comfort, support, traction, durability, and looks, especially how they looked, almost dainty on my long, narrow, size 11 feet. They finally wore out and I bought a new pair, finding that the design has changed in many ways, none of them better. The strapping system is different, the insole is different, the outsole is different, the heel height is different, the last is different. These are cut wider and shorter, so a size 11 is now too short and too wide. They added a size 12 which is as long as the old size size 11, but about an inch wider! Even with the straps cinched so tight that they dig into my flesh, my feet still slip side to side. Painful! Especially since the padding was taken off the bottoms of the straps as part of the redesign. And there is no arch support. The new outsole, what were they thinking? I can't imagine any activity for which this is suitable, certain nothing around water. I'd give the old Pretty Rugged 5 plus stars, but this new one gets just 2.
I walk long distances on the weekends and wanted a sandal for the summer that would allow my feet to breathe and give me the support I need. These shoes are serving me well. I generally wear a 6, but got these in a 6 1/2 which was perfect. I would highly recommend. Enjoy!!

These are the cutest TEVA's yet and comfortable enough to wear all day so I do. The arch support is minimal but I love the stability and the custom fit that the adjustable straps provide. I have a knee problem and and tile floors. The TEVA soles provide great traction so no stress on the joint no matter where my day takes me. I couldn't decide between the blue check and the brown check so I bought both!

I've worn Tevas for 14 years and am a big fan. My last pair was the Hurricane in size 9 and I hated to see them finally wear out. I did try a pair of the Hurricane 3 in size 9. They fit, but I found the footbed to be incredibly uncomfortable due to the design of it (all of the water drainage holes). They pinched the bottom of my feet as I walked. I was a little surprised to find the Pretty Rugged Nylon 2 in size 9.5 was a bit snug widthwise and though they looked the right size lengthwise, my toes slid forward to the edge of the sandal when I walked. I exchanged them for a 10. Much better fit. Very comfortable - especially the smooth, cushioned footbed. While they are a bit longer and narrower in style than my old Tevas, when I am walking, they are just right. The sole of the Pretty Rugged has more to it than the Hurricane - less flexible, more rugged (hence, the name, I suppose). I was pleased with the excellent customer service at Zappos and was very happy when they upgraded my shipping to overnight on the second pair I ordered. I've found my new sandals to accompany me on many more years of adventures!

Finally! Women's sandals that fit my size 12!
I can't tell you how happy these sandals make me. I have big size 12 feet, and due to ankle surgery, can't wear heels or any kind of uneven shoe. But I wanted to find a WOMAN'S shoe. No luck. Until now!! These are light-weight, adjustable, comfy, and cute! I can show off my new pedi! And now it feels like summer.

This sandal is downright dangerous on wet surfaces! I received a very serious injury in these when my foot slid out from under me on a wet pier. The bubble bottom provides no traction. Do not wear these on rainy days or near lakes and rivers! I am frankly surprised that they are still being marketed after many people have made the same complaint. BTW I am otherwise a die-hard Teva fan.

Awesome sandal! I bought these when I found out at my new job at a child care center that flip flops are not allowed, but a good sturdy sandal is allowed. Since I work through the summer, it is essential to have a good work sandal! These sandals are awesome for being on my feet 8 hrs a day with a room full of toddlers! I get bummed out when it’s a chilly day and I have to wear my sneakers. I just wish I could wear these sandals all the time!!! They are very comfortable and as soon as I can scrounge up some more money, I will be buying another pair!
