Customer Reviews Teva Omnium

They shoes looked and felt great when I first slipped them on. Then I walked around eth house a bit and discovered they were a little narrow, at least for me. I wouldn't consider my foot wide as I never have to order a wide width. The openings on the side were positioned just right (or wrong) so that the outer most portion of my foot just behind the little toe protruded out ever so slightly but only on my left foot. Either they were made slightly different or my feet are slightly different. Either way the shoes are being returned. I mat try Merrells or Keens in a similar style. Too bad, they looked to be well made.

Overall satisfied. Use for beach & hiking. Fit - Do to heel system, Did produce a blister on inside left heel & on back heal on right foot, but I have a narrow heal. Not sure how to correct the pressure points. Usually I buy an open back with adjustable strap. I will have to go back to that open style.

I ordered the Teva along with the Keen CNX and a similar Ahnu. The Teva was the heaviest of the three, with lots of support, but the backstrap was not comfortable regardless of how I adjusted it. I liked the click strap across the front to tie it down. But of the three the Ahnu was the most comfortable and I went with it.

Very nice. I would have preferred a bit less material on top, matching a more open model of a few years back. However, they provide good toe protection for rough terrain and ocean/marsh activities like kayaking and sailing.

I've had this shoe for a while and it seems to be fine for what I wanted: a lightweight sandal with enough protection for moderate hikes, and an all-around shoe for warm-weather vacations. It was a little hard to put on at first but is getting easier. You can leave it loose for general use or tighten it up for walking on uneven ground. Seems a little too wide.

This is a nice looking sandal but the comfort leaves something to be desired. The heel strap is very uncomfortable especially when walking for longer periods. Also the clasp across the top of the shoe is on the outside. If it were positioned on the inside, it would be much easier to release when taking the shoe off. This is a nice shoe but, for the money, I'm somewhat disappointed.

After my last pair of Teva sandals finally gave up the ghost (after 3 or 4 years of heavy use) I needed something to replace them. When my new Tevas arrived I was very pleased with the design, construction and fit of them. During the first day I began having second thoughts. The heel strap has tabs that sit on either side of your Achillies tendon. They also curl inward and rub blisters there. I very disappointed in these at the end of day 1. After several days of deciding whether or not to just throw them out, I came up with a fix. If you take a razor blade and cut the stitching on the leather out layer of the tabs, then cut them off, you are left with just the elastic layer that is underneath. Once I did this these sandals have GREAT. Back to being comfortable and rugged as I expect a Teva to be. I only rated it as a 3/5 in comfort. It would have been a zero, but it can be corrected to a 5.

These are great well made shoes. But they are too wide.

Love the product, love the service. Only issue is that the soul does not breath and sweat puddles up under foot. If you don't have sweaty feet this sandal is a home run!

The pair I ordered was a little too big, so they are en route back to Zappos. Easy to return shoes. However, the color green on these sandals is a very ugly color. The next pair of Teva sandals I ordered were waterproof leather. The "Fisherman" style.

I really like these sandals, however the first pair I had were defective and after little use the bottoms delaminated. That is the beauty of dealing with Zappos. Never had to return the old ones and even after a year, they replaced them.

Loved these shoes for the first 2 hours until when I was showing them off to my dad and I looked down and the right drawstring/fastener had broke! Shoes fit great as my forefoot is a little wider than the average person but I had tried these on at a retail store so I knew they fit well for me. But c'mon, man?! So I'm sending them back and just gonna have them replaced because they really do look promising but I have seen some reviews that mention poor workmanship/quality. So if Zappos is going to have free shipping both ways there better not be too many of these defects or I'm sure they'll drop the shoe. By the way, this is my first day with the shoe and I hadn't even come close to any sort of activity with them. Zappos is great though.

This is my second pair of Omnium shoes. I'm a Scout leader and active backpacker. These shoes have stood up to the abuse I've been able to dish out. Whether it's walking in parades, hiking across dirt, rock, sand, tree debris, or backpacking the Eastern Sierras, Rockies, Appalachians, or Big Sur. This shoe never lost its comfort and grip. I felt the shoe is wider than what you would expect, which is good for me. I like the extra room in the toe box. The only drawback I have to offer with these shoes is the lack of a debris shield along the bottom from the top of the sole to the bottom of the upper and many is the time I've had to pick out the errant rock, thorn, twig, etc; however, these are hiking sandals, so you must expect to not keep clean socks or feet when wearing them. I killed my last pair, after wearing them for 4 years, by having my feet too close to the fire and the glue holding the sole to the bottom of the shoe failed.

This show was perfect for rafting, hiking, safari, and overall comfort. I was able to wear for wet and dry terrain. There was no residual mildew or smell after the use of water areas.

Good shoe for what it is, outdoor and wet weather. Not exceptionally comfortable and definitely not stylish, but you don't always need that camping. :)

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to get the Omnium leather. I got this one in Turkish coffee color, which is very similar in color shade to leather. However, this sandal felt and looked (to me) cheaper than the Omnium leather, which is what I kept.

I'm an older guy and let's say that I'm not slim. I put my shoes on by sitting down and crossing my legs. When I do that the clasp is on the underside of my foot. It makes putting on the shoe very awkward. I wish the clasp was located in the middle, or even better toward the inside. Other than that, this is a great shoe.

The Teva Omnium is built well, as I have come to expect from Teva. It fits true to size and is very secure on my foot. It seems rugged and well thought out...except. So why did I return it? two reasons: 1. It is too clunky for me. I spend a lot of time fishing in streams and rivers and need good sensation for walking and climbing on rocks. This shoe was too stiff and clunky with poor sensation. Probably much better for hiking. 2. It is so ugly. That very wide and round toe, just makes for such an awful appearance. Maybe I am vain, but I just could handle wearing a "Forrest Gump Shoe." If that doesn't bother you, then you might like this shoe. Like I said, it is very well constructed and sturdy.

I have had mine for about three years now and worn them occasionally in the warm months of the year. They are very comfortable but very prone to delamination (coming apart) where the sole material meets the sides of the sandal. I had to glue them several times and it reoccurs.

Buyers should be aware that the outer sole can come apart. I hardly wore mine and the right sole started to separate from the rest of the shoe. I was able to use Shoe Goo to re-glue the heel. But you shouldn't have to do this on a new shoe.

I bought these for my wife and my vacation to Mexico. In PV we went Zip Lining in the Mountains (which involved rappelling into water and walking in cold water creeks). These worked wonderful. However, the next day the sole fell completely apart. I had only had these 2 weeks when this happened.

I am normally a TEVA fan. these seem to be much more cheaply made than normally. First pair of them the rubber souls came unglued on like the third wear. Of course zappos, as wonderful as they are to deal with, immediately sent me a new pair. They seem to be holding up but I have only worn them about 10 times so far. So we will see.

It stinks after few days of use, the sole is dangerously slippery on the sandy hills, and ventilation is poor. Lately Teva started to add to their shoes bright yellow and orange accents, attracting undesired attention. One more over-designed element which defines you as a funny Gringo abroad! On the other side, the Omnium well protects the feet, it is comfortable and lasts long. Overall it is only 3-star product, but still much better than the competitors. I just bought the Omnium for the third time.

This sandal is fairly comfortable. They run a 1/2 size larger than normal, even compared to other Tevas. The velcro on the instep and the heel is a big let down... looks cheap, feels cheap. The sandal has a more "closed" feel than I would like. Tends to get hotter than the alternative sandal I would recommend, the Itunda! For a little more it addresses all these complaints. The only edge to the Omnium is it is available in more muted colors, if you're matching it to wardrobe.

This shoe is very comfortable. Have worn them for 2 months and the sole is separating from the rest of the shoe. I\'ve had this problem with other Teva sandals recently. They must be using a different glue these days.
