Customer Reviews Teva Ventura Thong

Excited to have them, but a little let down. My first Tevas. Being from Ventura, CA (yay!) I thought I'd get these while I was looking at comfortable thong sandals. The sole of these are outstanding! They cradle my foot like no other flip-flop. The buckles are cute, and the colors are nice and subtle (I have the green), but I was very let down when I had blisters after about 20 minutes! The size tag is on the inner strap. They are the softest upper, but the tag on each sandal gave me a terrible wound; by the time I got back home, I was limping. I guess they need their tags broken in first.

Nice Sandals - I got these a while back and wanted to break them in before writing this review. The sandals are really cute with jeans or shorts. They are fairly comfortable for being on your feet for a long time. It took a few wears for the leather straps to break in properly. My only complaint is that the black dye seems to bleed onto my feet sometimes. I'm hoping that will pass with time.

Cork - I was primarily looking for a sandal with little strapping on the top but an "active" type sole. This sandal satisfied the strap requirements, but the cork sole, I'm afraid, will not stand up to the weather as well.

Nice shoe - I love the look. More support than your regular thong. The leather pattern on the sole can irritate a bit, but not so bad. Worth the price.

Teva Ventura - Great looking and very comfortable. In Florida I wear flip-flops year round. These are my new favorites.

Comfort? I'm not usually a thong wearer so the discomfort I feel from the rough edging of the toe piece limits the time I can wear this thong. Love the look and durability factors.

Great sandal - Love this shoe BUT while I usually do not need a wide shoe, I found this to be on the narrow side. It is so cute and comfortable. Alas, maybe another time! Zappos makes it so easy!

Cork bed is comfortable but there is no support for my foot. My foot slipped all over.

Ventura not an ace! The shoe is very nice to look at and the straps are comfortable, however the foot bed is strange for walking on. The stitching is raised as are the edges of the leather. I have very sensitive feet so I notice things like this a lot more than others. I will continue to wear them, but probably not for long periods of time.

Beautiful, but painful - I just ordered and am now returning this shoe because although it is super cute (I got it in Plaid Blue), the thong part hurts my toes. I also fear that the lack of strapping across the foot means it will be more like a flip flop and less like a sandal. So it goes back.

Misleading - These are not as comfortable as they look - the strap painfully rubs the tops of my feet, but this occurs after having walked in them for thirty minutes. From now on, I will stick with Reef flip-flops.

Cute but painful - Love the look of these shoes, and the footbed is super comfortable, but the strap between my toes cut into my skin so they are going back. Very sad about that!

After wearing this shoe for a week in Las Vegas... I found the shoe to be too wide for me, even after adjusting it. I had difficulty walking in it because the straps did not grip my foot. As a result, I could only wear the shoe to go to and from the pool, hotel shops, etc. (short distances).

Looks nice but not comfy - I ordered 7.5 & 8 (regular width) to try them on. They seem to run true-to-size, my usual size is 7.5W and the 7.5 fit perhaps a little narrow in the front but I do have a wide foot. They LOOK really nice and the sole is quite comfortable but I found the straps to be HIGHLY uncomfortable. They almost feel like plastic? I'm not sure but my feet were not happy the little bit I walked around the carpet. Going up 1/2 size didn't help either. The Welly color seems more dark-khaki than the green it appears on my monitor and the Bluefin is much warmer out of the box than it appears on the screen.

Only ok. I really wanted to like these shoes. I bought them in cocoa, which is a good color. The strap over the front is just not very attractive, though, and did not fit my foot well. They run half a size small and are relatively narrow.

Shoe fits loose - Cute shoe but my feet are narrow and cannot adjust strap, sorry to say that I cannot wear any longer because the puppy loved the little strap too.

slip-slidin' away....A bit nicer 'flip-flop' was what I was looking for and got. My foot moves around in it; the strap can't really be any tighter to hold it in. More support/comfort in the footbed itself; however, the straps don't hold your foot in at all. I feel more comfortable in a rubber thong, but these look much nicer! Runs pretty much true to size. I'm a 10.5, bought the 11. Maybe that is why it's somewhat loose... hmmmm... not too sure, but these just are just OK.

A bit disappointed... Loved the look, but even with the adjustability of the width with the velcro closure, my foot moved around too much, slid forward and ended up with a blister between toes. I had high hopes.

Ouch! These are the most uncomfortable sandals I have ever worn. Only wish I hadn't worn them outside so I could return them. The part between the toes feels like it's cutting into my skin and the arch does not hit at the right place, even though the size is right. Very disappointing considering I will not even think about wearing any sort of covered shoes in the summer. They do look good though, sitting on the floor. I'll stick with the three pairs of Teva Mush. Nothing's more comfortable.

Disappointed - I am quite disappointed in this shoe. The straps are too narrow and the quality of the shoe feels 'cheap' for what I paid!

Uncomfortable - Cute, well-made and seemingly comfortable--at first. Once I wore them outside, I realized that they were a bit too narrow for my feet. In addition, I couldn't get used to thong's style: it irritated the space between my toes and the tops of my feet. For habitual thong-wearers (with narrow feet), these should be fine.
