Okay, the new footbed is pretty comfortable, but the strap that goes across the instep is very tight. If you have a thick foot/high instep, you might want to order a size larger to get longer straps. I would recommend that Teva lengthen these straps. The old style Velcro straps were much easier to adjust and also more comfortable (in my opinion). The little fastex buckle used to secure the strap is also a bit of a pain to fasten/unfasten. All in all still a pretty good product, only time will tell if it is as good as the original Teva (my first pair lasted in excess of 10 years). Sometimes change is good, but other times don't try to fix something that isn't broken. Change doesn't always equal improvement.

These are really comfortable and cute. Easy to adjust and have plenty of support. My husband and I both got a pair and love them! They will be our summer hiking shoes and everything else, too. The fit is true to size and the quality is great.

These by far are the best sandals if have ever owned. I usually have a problem with things on the back of my heel or my toes feeling scrunched in a normal sandal. These don't have either of those two. Very easy to get on and off, with great arch and feet support.

Additional Brand Information

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.
