Customer Reviews Teva Ventura Cork 2

Great Shoes - Very comfortable simple and stylish in one! The arch support is good. My only concern is that the front will wear down fast because there is a very thin layer of plastic lining the cork. Teva has a reputation for lasting a long time and that's why I bought them. Time will tell!

Cute style, but a little disappointed - I wanted these to have the same support as Teva's Pretty Rugged sandal, but they did not. They are cute and comfortable, but I don't think they'll work for long walking/sight-seeing activities - so they are returned.

Great shoes! These are one of the best sandals I've ever owned. They are stylish and very comfortable. I'm actually thinking of buying another pair so that if Teva decides to stop making them I'll have a spare!

Cute & comfy - I wanted a sandal on the cuter side but still comfy and I found it. I am picky with my shoes because I am recovering from a lower back injury. I can wear the Ventura's with skirts and shorts and capris. They are very lightweight. I haven't worn them for long walks (over a couple of hours). I save these for being out and about. I love these sandals and I'm sure they would be great to travel with. Not too dressy, not too casual and clunky like other Teva’s. I am a size 7.5 and I ordered an 8 and it fits perfectly.

As always with Teva I had to order up a half size, occasionally I have to order a whole size. But its worth it, they are very comfortable shoes. Light weight and good looking with good arch support. I like the looks of the Ventura Cork better, but the foot bed on this one doesn't get as dirty and can be cleaned better.

Good looking sandal that you can wear anywhere - I had another pair of these in red. When looking for a comfortable, multipurpose sandal, you can't beat this one. You can walk all day in them - great for vacations, or everyday, anywhere use. I am mostly flat footed, so that is why this sandal works so well for me.

I love these shoes! I have four other pairs in nubuck: navy, black, bone and brown. This is a nice "kicky" variation of the older style. They're a great walking shoe and I plan to take them on my trip because I'll be doing a lot of walking. The shoe runs small, so order a full size up. I usually wear a size 4 with an average width, but a size 5 works very nicely for me. This shoe does not work well if your foot is slightly wide as my mother discovered when she ordered a pair. She had to return them.

Ventura Cork 2 - I bought the Ventura cork last year, and liked them. I tried the Cork 2 because I wanted the brown leather, and liked the look of the darker footbed. I loved these! I walk a lot as part of my commute, and the first time I wore these I was able to walk all day, and for miles. They even looked nice enough to wear to work. The only drawback is that you can't adjust the straps near the toes, and so they're a little loose for my narrow foot, but I could adjust it comfortable at the ankle and they stayed on just fine. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the shoppers who provide reviews. They help so much!

A little disappointed - Like another reviewer said, this sandal is not as comfy as the first version. I do find the sandals stiffer and the metal ring did dig into my toe as well.

Great shoes - I have never owned a pair of Tevas before. I was looking for a sandal that would wear well all day and for long walks. This sandal is durable and comfortable and looks great with anything.

Teva Ventura Cork 2 - Nicely made shoe, and the lovely Bluefin color (ice blue) improved on the so-so styling. I would have kept them had the toe straps not been so loose; my foot hovers between an N and an M width, and my toes slid right through and over the edge of the footbed. The ankle strap was adjustable and snugged up nicely and, for once, had enough velcro to accommodate a slender ankle. However, my foot moved around too much for comfortable walking given the aforementioned loose toe straps. A medium/wide-footed person will like these. Footbed was nicely spongy and comfortable.

Wow! Excellent all the way around. I'll be purchasing more of these. Especially liked how flexible they are.

My Wife Loves This Sandal!! Yeah she loves everything about it. Look, fit, flexibility, light weight, etc. It fit great right out of the box with no break-in period. She highly recommends it.

Great Shoes - I'm very pleased with these. They are as comfortable as promised (after a little breaking in) and look great. Best sandals I've bought in a long time.

Ouch! I returned them! These have some slight cushion in the heel but the front (under the ball of the foot) is very thin and hard. They have very little arch support. When I first put them on they were quite comfy and very lightweight. However, after walking around my house for just 10 minutes the metal triangle ring on the toes started to rub on both feet, and the ankle strap started to rub as well. I knew blisters were right around the corner. If it weren't for the metal tringle ring on the toes these would be okay--what is that for anyway? It isn't adjustable so it is just cosmetic, but then gets in the way of comfort. I don't need arch support, but I do need cushion for my metatarsal pain (ball of foot/toes) and these don't have any. I ended up returning them and I went with Chacos instead.

Ventura Cork - I purchased these sandals and wore them for the first time on a trip to Italy. Did lots of walking and they felt great from the first day. Good fit, comfortable and stylish. These are my second pair of Tevas and I love them!

This is a very comfortable walking shoe. I'm not crazy about the way it looks, but I usually wear heels. A good shoe to have for walking long distances.

Great shoe - After looking at hundreds of Zappos shoes, I ordered three sandals to try. The Chaco Isabella felt great on the foot, but was too short; the Teva Elixer did not offer enough support for the amount of walking I was going to do, but this Teva Ventura Cork was perfect right out of the box! It is stylish, lightweight and offers great support. I wore it only one day before taking it on a trip to Greece where I wore it almost daily. The leather straps hold the foot in place and the adjustable velcro ankle strap makes it easy to get on/off. It looks great on the foot, either with skirts of capris. I would highly recommend this sandal!

Weird footbed - Apparently, earlier incarnations of this shoe had a different footbed. It's a shame that they changed it, as the decorative design & seams on this actually create friction & hot spots on my feet, making what would otherwise be very light-weight, attractive, & versatile sandals much less appealing. Didn't really notice this until I had worn them walking around outside for a while.

Great walking sandal - Comfortable, stylish, very cute little walking sandal. Perfect for anyone who is tired of the slap-slap noise of slide on sandals.

Teva's Keep their Good Reputation - This is the second Teva's Ventura sandal I have purchased, the latest with a slight difference in the cork bottom. Still rate this a very comfortable and good-looking shoe. Bought the blue which is very attractive. Of course, Zappos was great in their fast delivery service.

I love these sandals! I saw my mother's doctor wearing them and asked where she got them. I went home and ordered a pair. I liked them so much I order two more colors. I have had foot surgery and don't usually find shoes this comfortable. I also got caught in two downpours in them and when the dried they were as good as new!

A Teva skeptic - Never been a fan of Tevas, I have more of a classic ascetic appeal to shoes. But these Teva leather and cork sandals, which do not look like a typical style, are very comfortable, and have enough of a femininity to appear to me. I went for the practical side, and purchased the black color which looks very nice. The con this shoe seems to have is that the metal ring on the pinky toe, applies a bit more pressure than I would like on my pinky toe. Besides that, the arch support is very good, and fits my narrow high arched feet. These shoes are also very light, which is a benefit you happen to go for long walks.

Teva Ventura Cork 2 - These sandals are very comfortable and look nice too. They are really small though as I had to go up a 1/2 size. I rarely have to do that.

Good look and comfort - These are great! I wore them all over Disneyland to break them in, and then wore them all over Italy. Very comfortable and lightweight. Also, they look good with a skirt or pants (or shorts). The insole can get a little sweaty, resulting in skin irritation, but I didn't get any blisters.
