Customer Reviews Teva Olowahu

I expected these to be like my others, but the strap rubbed my foot raw on top. Disappointed that they weren't as comfy as my black ones.

At the beach

loved the look but straps on left foot were of different tightness than the right - ?quality control vs my feet (but I've never had the issue before with other sandals or shoes)

I use this product as a daily slipper - I have purchased several of this style and not had a problem; but the the strap from the second toe across is just tight this time.

Due to the covid situation I am in and around the house, not out visiting, shopping, or walking around that much. After 3-4 days, Olowahu strappy flip-flops were worn in and the cloth bands kept their shape (the height of my foot) so easy to slip on again. However, the 2 are not the same. This was also true of the pair of Voya Flip flip-flops I bought at the same time. In wearing in, you have to shove one foot further against the toe post (the left, for the Voya, the right for the Olowahu, so it's not because my feet are different, which of course they are, slightly). The insole is very breathable, so not sweaty (slippery) or hot, and the sandal is extremely lightweight overall though tough (bottom of sole). For the price, it's fine that they aren't quite the same (the Olowahu mush sole heights are different, for instance, affecting strap lengths over foot). I did wonder if the lefts were all made at one factory and the rights all at another, with the 2 streams coming together somewhere else for packaging and shipping. Who knows. It's not quite the quality I expect of Teva, whose products I have been wearing for 30 years.

Comfortable but not for much other than wearing for a short time or brief walk. Cute Look on and fit true to size. Not so comfortable for my "slightly" wide foot. Probably great for narrower foot.

What is great: density of cushion & crisscross design feels secure What did work: The design is absolutely flat with no slight curve at the toe end of the cushion. It is so flat that it became a tripping hazard for me, this was exacerbated by the size feeling about 1/2 size too big (long).

Not as comfortable as the Mush, and visibly larger, even in the same size.

I was hoping to love these sandals but I need a wide version of these.

Love my black pair of Olowahu but the felicitas pair are very tight even though they are the same size.

I bought original mush & olowahu as a special promotion. I don't like the feel of the olowahu. There is no arch support and they felt like they would fly off my foot when walking.

Shoe fits well and looks good but the straps are not firmly tethered in the sole. My dog was following me and briefly stepped on the back of my shoe while I was walking. The straps loosened to the point that the shoe wouldn't stay on my foot. Ruined within 15 min of first wearing!

Sorry I had to return the shoes. Not sure if it was the size, but not comfortable on my toes.

I have 13 pairs of tevas. Normally i love them all. I ordered 2 pairs in the same size at the same time. The brown ones are perfect. This pair fits too big. I would recommend but unhappy with the sizing of this particular pair.

I was hoping to replace my older pair of mushroom wedge Tevas that I love but have nearly worn out. You all didn't have my size in the style I preferred so I ordered basic black. Turns out they are not nearly as comfortable as the others and hurt between my toes. Something not right there. I was disappointed....and would like to return them.,

I've been buying Teva for about 15 years. You have changed the quality they DON'T last? The foot bed use to be better quality & sole also... Wish I could get the old style.....!

These shoes are sooooo comfortable! They have been my casual go-to sandal most of the season. However, I noticed that when unpacking them from a beach trip, they had sand/tiny rocks stuck on the bottom of each one - almost like I had stepped in something sticky and sand had gotten stuck on them. However, after more careful inspection, it appears that they actually melted in spots.

Olowahu was too narrow

Years ago when I stocked up on several OLOWAHUs they fit me perfect. Lately, they feel slightly wider and more sloppy. Last year I tried, this year I tried and I got the same feeling in the fit. Something tells me that the sizing may have been tweaked to being not quite as snug as they used to be. Unfortunately for me, this minor adjustment turned my all-time favorite flip flops from TEVA into a deal-breaker and I had to send 4 pairs back. So disappointed.

I hate to give this product anything but a 5 star review. I have 24 other pairs of this shoe, which illustrates how much I love them, but this is not the same size 8 that all 24 of my other size 8s are. It is about half an inch shorter. It is also more narrow, and tighter. They have sized it down at least one full size. I had to return the pair and reorder a size larger. I can do that now when ordering any new Tevas, but I won't do so with the same trust and confidence in the product that I've had for MANY years, especially since Teva denied changing the size when I asked them. But the change is obvious when I compare past shoes to this pair. I'm disappointed. I love this brand and style, but I really dislike the lack of truthfulness and consistency. My advice: If you've never purchased these shoes before, once you get the right size, you'll love them, but if you are buying another pair of these in a different color, SIZE UP. Still the same quality and comfort, thank goodness.

I've been wearing these as my go-to flop/sandal/summer shoe for the last 10 years. Once, I forgot my hikers on a trip to Death Valley and ended up hiking in these for a week, including ~10 miles the first day. However, the last two pairs I've purchased broke within a few times wearing them. Last summer, a brand new pair broke the first day of a week-long camping trip where I had planned to wear them as my main shoe. Last week my "nice pair" that I had only worn a few times but had for over a year broke. Both breaks were a result of the strap becoming unsecured. I'm extremely disappointed. I'll likely purchase one more pair and warranty them if they break again, but that will be the last time.

I have worn this style for several years and loved them I was disappointed that the sole of the sandal was changed to not have the dip for the heel as it had for so many years. It feels like a cheap flat sole now.

This is the only brand of sandals I wear. They are usually very durable. The most recent pair I received stretched out very quickly.
