Customer Reviews Teva Olowahu

All past Teva purchases, including this style, have been outstanding. They fit well, don't fall off or walk out of my feet. They have more support than most flips and have always been worth the extra money. NOT THESE!! I wear a medium width shoe and this pair was made for a wide foot. All prior Tevas were snuggly fitting when purchased, quickly stretching out with a few wearings to a permanent comfortable. Wish the ads had mentioned a newer sizing policy. Would have looked elsewhere. Now I'm stuck with flips that fall off unless I suffer from water retention or a broken foot.

I bought these because I had similar ones that I bought three years ago. I thought they were the same. They are not. They are much smaller than the older style. I consistently wear a size 7, and I ordered the 7 and they are definitely too small. They are also much narrower than the old style, and just a big disappointment. I bought two pairs, and am still wearing my old beat up ones from three years ago. Definitely order a size up.

I will need to exchange the sandal because it does not fit well. I ordered the wide and it is too tight on my foot. I love Teva but this one did not work for me.

These used to be my favorite sandal. I've owned many pairs over the years and have recommended them to many after receiving lots of compliments. Sadly, the shoes I received in my last replacement order don't seem the same. They look exactly the same but aren't as supportive as my former sandals. I also noticed that I can not wear them for long periods anymore as they give me major heel and knee pain. I am so disappointed because these were the best. I have retracted all my recommendations to my loved ones and hope they don't ruin their feet with these. If this is due to a change in materials, I sincerely hope Teva does the right thing and goes back to materials that are truly supportive for the foot and not just their bottom line.

Prefer old style. Should not have bought them online.

I liked to way it looked in pictures, but straps were way to tight! my piggies felt trapped!

One of the straps that comes up between the toes and goes to the outside of the foot is so tight that I took it to a shoe repair shop to add a 1/4 inch piece of elastic (at an expense) to help relieve this. It helped minimally. Another strap that goes over the little toe is also a bit snug. I really like the sandal and was hoping that the repair shop would make it fit better for me. No luck so far. These are only good for wearing around the house for short periods of time. Perhaps next time TEVA could use a stretchier material and make them with enough room for a normal foot, like they did several years ago.

I use the Olowahu sandal for both casual and semi-dressy occasions due to their versatility both color and style-wise. The length is perfect but I wish they came in a wider size; I am having a very painful time trying to break them in. The other Olowahu sandals I own have different, softer straps and fit beautifully. These new ones have a courser strap. This makes me hesitant to buy online again. My other pairs, which fit well, were bought in-store. I am rating this new pair only two stars due to their fit. :(

I have been buying these for YEARS and now I buy four pairs and they are so cheap, no arch system, no stability, no durability. I am truly disappointed In the only sandal I have been buying for YEARS!!! They are a good price but at the price they aren't worth it. I am disappointed in TEVA for ruining a great product!!! I am sending these back and demand you ring back a product you can be proud of!

I really like the look of the product. I just can't wear them because it hurts my right foot too much. The left one is great. I would like to try another pair. I tried my daughters and they fit really good and they don't hurt so I know there is a defect I would in this pair. I would recommend this to a friend if I can get a pair to fit right. I was very disappointed I looked in all the stores to get a pair and I had to order them. There's nothing like trying a pair on first and then you know how they are going to fit. I will be sending these back bu I would like to try another pair.

Teva shoes were recommended by a friend, did not like how tight the straps across the top of feet were.

These look great; I wish they fit my feet. The support hit my feet in the wrong place & also appeared to be a size too small so I returned them. I wear 6 1/2-7 normally; in these my heel was over the edge.

One of the straps on this pair was so wide that my narrow foot wouldn't stay on the sole. I have had at least 8 pair and have never had a problem. I will exchange this pair once and if the problem repeats itself, I will have to purchase in a store where I can look for even straps. This flip flop is normally very comfortable and stays on my narrow foot. The arch support is excellent!

What happened to Tevas? This Olowahu has an oddly shaped forefoot. And the heels twist out to the side so that part of my heels are on the ground - just like what happens with cheap flip-flops ! Its a little too narrow and has a rounded point in the wrong spot for your toes. Some of my BOYFRIENDS have had feet with this exact shape! But MINE arent shaped anything like this. And it looks like almost all the new tevas have this contour! I just dont get it. I

I've owned Teva flip flops for years. They are the only ones that don't bother me between my big toes- until now. Not sure if something has changed in sizing or style, but my heel is nearly falling off the back, and after 2 hours of wear my big toe was so sore and red that I had to go out and buy a new pair of shoes! I have never had to "break-in" my Teva flip flops before! Very disappointed this time.

Bought a few of these pair about 5 years ago. They WERE great then. stayed on your feet with no problems, extra comfortable. Somewhere along the line, they changed the straps to fit fat people / feet??? Now I am super disappointed that these wonderful shoes no longer work with my normal feet. I am 5'5" and weigh 120. If you have wide or larger feet, these will work for you. With the new straps, these just fly right off my feet! Too bad Teva won't get smart and offer them in "narrow" and what they consider "normal". They would sell a TON of them.

The first two pairs of Tevas got were so perfect, but the quality of my newest pair was much lower. I do not want sandals that are worth more money to go down in quality or price

I walk a lot and wanted a durable flip-flop style for everyday use. The bottom feels as if it is already wearing through and the shoe took almost a week to wear in!

I bought them because they looked cute. Got them in and put them on and they were comfortable. I wore them several hours each day. They were sloppy loose. A week later they are the shoes that sit at the front door just to be used to walk out to get the mail. Sorry I wouldn't buy them again.

I have many pairs of these flip flops (in different colors and have had no problems with them. This is the first time I have ordered online ( 2 pairs) and 1 pr is defective in the toe area.

I really like them, but the left shoe straps are too tight, and it makes my foot sideways in the shoe.

I'm going to send these shoes back. Each shoe fits different. This makes the second pair that I have bought of these type shoes and there has been something wrong with both. One pair I bought from a store and realized that one strap was longer on shoe than the other. The pair that I bought from Teva were also defective in that the straps on one shoe were attached further into the sole than the other shoe. I do like the shoe but it's hit or miss on the fit.

I was disappointed when my Teva's got to me. One fit great the other's strap was too tight so I had to send them back.

I loved the Tevas you made similar to this one that had NO TOE THONG. I bought several pairs of the old style, and would have continued buying them as long as you made them. I can't even find them in outlet stores. Please bring that style back!

I've bought this sandal bf. I ordered 2 more pair. Nether one fit like that last ones I purchased. The straps were to big.
