Just what I was looking for as Dozer II was discontinued. Unfortunately, I'm returning. The part that goes up the back of the heel is very hard and rubbed a sore (not a blister) within minutes of me putting on. I tried adjusting the strap across the heel but that didn't loosen anything but the strap; didn't loosen the elastic fabric that did the damage. Teva needs to bring back the Dozer. Dozer has lower heel design with the same great arch support.

We live in Colorado and work in all various, hot, rocky, sandy terrain...this shoe is comfortable, durable and flexible...and can go from, as they say, work to dinner, still looking good! I bought the lighter color but love this one! I do have a narrow foot, but it is adjustable and fits well over the arch and heel...a little spacious in the toebox but does not slip or slide. I am buying another!

The toe box is larger than I expected but it is a very comfortable summer shoe. I really appreciate the adjustable straps for the heel and instep - very convenient.

First pair of Teva-needed a sandal type shoe that would hold my inserts. Shoe is true to size and I took them out of the box and don't want to take them off. Went out and bought a pair of Teva sandals the next week.

I'm not new the Teva product line but I bought these to for outdoor use and the fact that I suffer from pilanter fasciitis and I have a wide foot. So for no issues and they feel really good.

Good quality, fit well, perfectly fine and would have kept except found something I liked (esthetically) better. It does have a wide, comfortable toe box which feels great but makes foot look big.

Really cute shoe/sandal hybrid. With flat feed (I usually wear orthotics), felt like the back cut up on the back of heel and that bone that juts out on the outside of the ankle. Put in the orthotic and it was better, but don't want to be bringing my orthotics to the beach! Also, felt just 1/4-1/2 size short. Returning for a bigger size.

Loved the brindle coloring of this sandal and like most Tevas this style fit my foot well. The support was good but the heel cup was too deep and dug into my ankle bone no matter what I did to adjust the velcroed strap there. Too bad since this is a great sale price for nice footwear!

Husband loves them except can't wear them w/socks (they're THAT true to size). They are basically adjustable slip on and heel was a bit tight & width adjustment was a bit stiff at first. Would like these w/quick release heel that opens fully. Otherwise? Very comfortable once on and good support. Worked great traveling airports from Pacific Northwest to Romania!

Superior product that I've worn on beaches, in the water, walking a golf course, and climbing/hiking (with rocky terrain). The only thing keeping it from receiving the fifth star is that the position of the buckle, on the outside, makes buckling and unbuckling the shoe a bit difficult and annoying. Otherwise I (we) love the shoe. (My wife has a pair and feels similarly about it, and she does all of the above having had two major foot reconstruction surgeries a few years ago.)

This is my third pair of Teva in this style. Love them for going barefoot when its hot out.
Walking in city or country. I wore a pair to hike in the Grand Canyon and was only 50 foot down trail when the sole came off. Went to the Park Store and bought shoe glue its sad to say it did not stick. I removed the sole completely and now use that pair for house shoes. The three adjustable
settings can be tricky to find the right adjustment. I wish the cord was bungee type.
I where these with jeans capri's and black dress capri's .I'am 55 and go for comfort over style.

I wore these new in the Highlands of Guatamala. They were comfortable from the start with no break-in time needed. We did build stoves there and they probably weren't the best choice for mixing cement and mortar since they let in particles and dirt. That being said, they cleaned up just like new. Very easy to clean and dry! I love them.

The Omnium is a hybrid watershoe-hiker with a lot of excellent features and nice aesthetics. Its most notable feature is its 3 point fastening system (straps at the front and back of the heel and a BOA cord across the top of the foot). The low-profile upper also holds the foot securely in the well-cushioned sole from toe-off to impact. I notice that my foot stays put in the cradle regardless of torsion or angle of impact, whether walking or running, and this is the Omnium's biggest advantage over conventional sandals I've worn while hiking. Of the hybrid hikers I've tried from other manufacturers, I think the Omnium is the best.
I have two concerns, however: 1) The midsole doesn't have a shank and it should for hiking through rocky streams (one of the activities it's made for) and for stability generally- especially on a sandal. While the shoe is substantial, I feel rocks through the sole that have hurt my forefoot and that really doesn't cut it. Other Teva sandals have shanks, so why this one doesn't is a mystery to me: the Omnium is their top of the line all-purpose shoe.
2) The outsole rubber is their original Spyder formulation and therefore probably not as sticky as their more recent products. I assume there's some trade-off for durability, then, and mine seem to be holding up well, but I've slipped on some rocks I probably shouldn't have. So, in all I'd say it's a very good product that could use one or two upgrades to make it a truly outstanding flagship shoe for them and a piece of equipment that fills a specific niche for us: an all-purpose watershoe-hiker hybrid that works on all surfaces in and out of water.

These seemed crude. They rub here and there just a bit, and I needed perfection in order to keep them. I have just ordered Keen Voyageurs that I'm keeping, but I wanted something more in the sandle realm so that I wouldn't always have just hot feet. I can't get delicate sandals, because of huge problems with my post-accident knee, ankle, foot, other foot, other knee, back, etc. I think these would maybe work with socks, but why wear sandals at all if you are going to wear socks? I can't give them a 5 for being true to size, when they do that nasty trick of eliminating my size --10.5. How can any shoe be perfect for everyone who is either a 10.5 or an 11? I think they might be a bit on the wide side, so that might be a factor for some people. I consider them okay in width, because they even accommodate my swollen foot. Keen makes better sandals.
I'd also recommend:
Keen, Dansko, and for a more delicate sandal Ecco

Because I have narrow feet, it is very difficult to get a good fit in a shoe, period. I have a pair of Teva "earth" shoes and am wearing them to death, not attractive but comfortable. The Omnium, like the "earth" shoes have a large, rounded box so there is plenty of room for the toes to spread as you walk and to not rub my bunion. This shoe is adjustable in so many ways: heel, instep, and ankle. Had a shock, though, when we had our first real cold spell in Florida and I got a bit of a chill because of the openings on the sides. These shoes might not be good outside in cold weather nor rainy. The shoes are very comfortable everywhere but in the front of my foot, but then I have plantar warts which require extra cushioning. I have never found a shoe that address that. A plus: a good fit without laces! Didn't like paying so much for them, but when I find a shoe that fits, it has to last a long time.
I'd also recommend:
Any brand that would have a narrow with a good size toe box. Ball of the food support would be perfection.

I have the Teva sandals and love them so I got these for more serious walking. I tried the Ahnu - too narrow and the Keen - too clunky. These are just right - and I have bad feet (neuropathy). Good arch support, ample adjustability on instep and heel.

I like the way Keens look, but they run a little small so the biggest size is too short for me. These Tevas are roomy in the toe. I like them for light hiking most of the year.
There have been problems with the bottoms coming unglued, so make sure they are on tight before you accept them. My last pair have been fine.

Just came back from Costa Rica where I used these shoes to walk about town on a rainy day, hike the rainforest, rapel waterfalls and raft. These shoes were comfortable, had good traction on wet rocks and dried out well. The only con was that small rocks would constantly get stuck in shoe due to the design. Expected but annoying when you're trying to quickly hike through streams and puddles and you have to consantly stop and shake out rocks.
One other thing: The shoe is ugly. If they only narrowed the round top area of the shoe, it would look a lot better. I really don't think I needed that extra space around the top of the shoe..the shape looked like a duck's bill. Ugly!

Two things...It has taken three weeks for my Achilles's heel to accept this show. Give yourself plenty of breaking in time before heading out on your first adventure. Also, there is no drainage for rocks or other debris that enters the shoe. You can not shake out pebbles, but instead have to stop and unstrap the shoe to clean it out.

Well, I wanted to love these. After much research to find beach walking shoes I chose these. They are comfy enough and I love all the adjustments possible - in the heel, on top of the foot in two spots. They are quite cushy and they'd be great for walking on anything but sand. However, as I suspected, the sand just rushes in as I am walking. I thought it'd be easy to wash it out and go. However, the sand gets caught in the two buckles and I wasn't able to unsnap them to rinse. I've gotta keep 'em now, but had I known just how much sand comes in (like with the first two steps) I would not have purchased. They do seem to rinse cleanly once I get them off my feet. But they are not real practical for beach shoes. Surprisingly, they look okay on my feet. And luckily they are comfortable, aside from the sand getting in and chafing my heel raw. I tried them with socks and without. Socks helped the chafing but who wants to wear socks on the beach? I guess they'd be better for water sports that don't require a long walk on the sand. They seem true to size and width. There is some arch support and they do feel secure on my feet. They are soft and cushy.

I like my water shoes. Bought them specifically for a river float trip and for a later trip to Hawaii. They passed the test! I got them about a 1/2 size smaller than I normally wear. They fit great and stayed on well. These are not the style of shoe I would ever think of wearing for anything but the water, but I think I can take these on vacation to Hawaii and make them work for tours that might allow water and beach time and wear something more supportive and safer than flip flops! I only wish they were a more neutral color. The other color available were too green so I like these much better...still would have liked a tan or light gray that way they would go with more things. Purple is kind of limiting!
