Customer Reviews Teva Olowahu

I have been wearing these wedge sandals for literally years - since they first came out. Over time, some designer (or whomever) decided to change the original design which had a slightly wider, more dense bottom, to these more narrow, "mushy" soles and they are terrible. They newer style (called #2) are awful. I bought a pair just to see if they would fit and wear the same, and returned them pronto once I tried them. The new "mush" heel is uncomfortable and lacks substance, the sandal itself it way to narrow for my foot - which is not a wide foot by any means (I wear a average width in any shoe). Wish Teva would go back to the original design of this sandal - or at least offer a few colors in both styles. So sad that a perfect sandal was changed to this awful style.

I thought they looked cheap. Size runs big too. I bought my usual 8 and they were huge. I returned for a refund.

I love Tevas but this thongs are too wide. I have small narrow feet and I thought that by buying them they would stay on my feet. I would not recommend them.

This is the third time I've purchased this product. I'm so disappointed with the new generation of this product. They turn the bottom of my feet black.

I've worn Olowahu flip flops for over 10 years, and these are not what they were like a couple years ago! First off, you will not get what is in the picture, which is frustrating, and customer service will not be able to answer why Teva is selling a product that visually looks different than the picture on their site. They are so bad I thought I received a pair of fake Tevas! They are made out of what feels like a cheaper material for the straps and footbed. They fit very strangely- the sole feels heavier and is longer on the big toe, and much boxier. I used to love that these flip flops felt like you weren't even wearing any shoes, but now they are awkward and I'm definitely returning. I used to wear mine right away with no problems, and with these I have to maneuver the straps around too much before they fit, and I can tell they will rub and give blisters. Please bring back the old ones!

I tried a pair of sandals that looked just like the ones on your website, but were much more "snugged" around the foot. The pair you sent, when I walked around were loose....unfortunately the walk was around the block. Women's Flip Flops, Olowahu

Thses shoes do NOT have the mush footbed like it shows in the picture! I have owned a pair of these with the mush footbed(mush logo on the footbed as pictured) for several years now and I LOVE them, but it was time for a replacement pair. But, evidently Teva has changed the footbed of this product, and they are just not as comfortable. I had to return them. Extremely disappointed!!! ***Teva, you should really update your product pictures!!***

I normally wear a size 9 shoe so I ordered that size of tevas. They were way too small for me so I gave them to my daughter in law who wears a size 6. The previous pair of tevas that i had must have been a size 11. So if I ever order again, I will be sure to order a size 11.

I returned them The were not made well Did not fit Disappointed as I had a pair before

when I wear a flip flop its usually for a quick slip on and go. This takes a while to get through the tangles of straps. Also it felt like too much cloth between my toes.

Toes catch and I trip!

Unfortunately i gave these as a gift as several other pairs were owned by my friend. This pair was not the same width in the straps. It is like one side had a 1/2 inch smaller. Details were clearly missed while making these.

Use flip flops everyday and these hurt

I had such high hopes when I ordered these. A flip flop with extra straps to keep my foot from sliding around. But I was very disappointed when mine arrived and I tried to put my feet into them. The straps are so tight I can't wear them, and I bought the next size up to be sure of a decent fit! I have an athletic foot, but I've never not fit into a pair of flip flop or sandals, until now.

I purchase these each year. This year I ordered them online and was not happy. They were small for the size and did not fit. They were uncomfortable. Returned product.

I was disappointed with the sandal. My daughter gave me a similar sandal a couple of years ago and it lasted for a long time. I noticed that the strapping material was a much better and stronger material. The strapping on this sandal seems to be far inferior. I guess that's the way it goes products get cheaper.

The sole separated after only wearing occasionally over 4 months. Purchased at EMS. I've had 4 other pairs of Teva's and have never seen this happen.

Disappointed with the smaller base. Already hurt my pinky toes.

I bought these a size larger than I normally wear so that they would break in more easily. Even at that, they are too short for my feet and my baby toe gets caught on the side straps. There's no arch support and, despite the fact that I've only worn them a few times for short periods, the foam collapsed. Not worth it even though they were on sale.

The Olowahu was my go-to sandal for the beach for years. Sadly, revisions to fit and strap material of the recent model have left me searching for a new sandal. The new model lacks any cushioning in the straps and any of the previous stability. Extremely disappointing, Teva.

This product fit like a narrow instead of wide.

Too Wide, product returned

I love the Tevas that I bought 8 or more years ago and am still wearing, but they look worn. I wanted the exact same thing and thought I had found it, but the new style is more flimsy, smaller in size?, and just npt up to the par of the others. My heart is broken, please bring back the 'old' Teva. Picture of old Teva attached.

the side is already broken and have only had them 2 weeks

I have had Teva sandals before and they all fit narrow but these are ridiculous. The straps are laid out so strangely and kill the baby toe. In addition the footbed is like Styrofoam and actually started breaking off in chunks after the second time I wore them. What happened to Tevas manufacturing quality??
