Customer Reviews Teva Ventura Cork 2

These are great sandals. I have tried many others that are more fashionable, but in the end decided comfort is better. Like my older Tevas, these feel a little wide. I plan on spending my summer in these.

Cute! Cute! Nice looking sandal, comfortable cork sole, support in the heel, rubs a little over toes.

Seems like a great pair of outdoor shoes, worked for a while. Wore them working for a summer camp. All day every day, in and out of water once or twice a week. Damage that ensued: side straps are ripping off of the cork, and the cork on the back of the sandal is falling apart. I still love the sandals but I would only recommend them if you don't need something long term.

Uncomfortable… I love the style of this sandal, but there is a problem with them. They are waterproof, but when I went on a cruise, the ship’s floor got wet and I almost slipped because the soles of these are very, very slippery. I thought they would be good traction, but no way! I had to take tiny baby steps to walk on wet floors. I was really looking forward to wearing these around water. They killed my feet after wearing them just a few hours. Not worth the price at all. I buy a lot of shoes from Zappos. Just these I would not recommend.

Too Noisy! The look is great, but I had to return these sandals because the leather footbed was so noisy every time I took a step! It was like a sticky noise, my foot sticking to the footbed and then being released.

Extremely cute - but average fit - Finding sandals isn't easy and this one is better than most, but still, the sandal twists on your foot when you walk. It's also very narrow in the mid section. Its overall style is significantly upgraded from last year’s model, which had a white footbed that looked dirty after only a few wearings. I'm wearing the Teva's but keeping an eye out for a replacement.

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.

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.

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.

Not the usual Teva shoe - I love this shoe style. I have 2 pairs in different colors bought several years ago. This time, the sole was half the thickness of my older shoes. The entire shoe feels light and flimsy. I hope this is indicative of lower Teva standards.

Not comfortable at all - I bought these as decent looking walking shoes, but am very disappointed. They are not comfortable at all – the straps cut into your skin. Unlike other Tevas, they are not walking sandals; they are what the southern ladies used to call “sittin shoe.” Unfortunately, I missed the return deadline.

Pretty But No Support - Very pretty on the foot. Even has what appears to be a supportive footbed but surprisingly my problem feet and ankles are not benefiting from these. I have flat feet and have weak ankles from multiple sprains. While these do have arch support, I think the lack of structure is what it is. I find if I wear them too long (about 2-3 hours) and then take them off, my feet and ankles HURT. I'll stick with Dansko. But Zappos ... I'm a lifetime customer for sure.
