Customer Reviews Teva Omnium

Fantastic pair of sandals! Feel comfortable, dry reasonably fast, and stay snug. I can ride my commuter bike with them no problem. Work well with shorts, manpris, or long pants.

When it comes to building a comfortable sandal that you can wear without socks on long walks, without getting blisters or sore spots, Teva clearly "gets it" better than most. This is a very comfortable sandal that is closed enough to wear most anywhere you would use casual shoes, but is of course more open and breathes better. The footbed is comfortable, and the straps highly adjustable. There is no problem with the Omnium slipping off at all. It just feels good and works! Zappos asks for shoes to be rated as to arch support. This can be a bit misleading as healthy feet do not need arch support, and their rating system implies excellent is better than no arch support. This sandal has none, which is fine with me. I have no idea why 86% of reviewers say it has Moderate arch support. Just look at the zoomable pictures. Zappos service was superb, as usual!

Very comfortable - I've always been happy with Teva and their quality.

This Teva model has really comfortable support and I love the anti-microbial feature since I wear them every day. This is my second pair in this style. My last pair didn't have velcro straps so it was much easier to just step into, but with these you can dial in the fit better and they seem much sturdier.

I wear women's size 9.5 wide to accommodate my bunions but this shoe comes only in medium width. I therefore bought a men's size 8.5 and the "medium" width for this shoe is quite comfortable, although the length is a little more than I would like. This is a trade-off I have been making all of my adult life, so doesn't bother me if the shoe is comfortable. And it is. I live in Hawai'i so have many sandals for different weather. These are too hot for muggy summer days but great in cooler or wet weather.

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.
