Customer Reviews Teva Omnium

Overall these are comfortable sandals, however the ankle area is a set size and was a bit too small for one of my feet. So they are going back.

Pair is smaller than what I've bought before with this being my third pair, as well as the shoe was defective in the inner wall strap on my right foot.

I bought these to replace an old pair similar in style that were my go-to favorites for traveling. These looked good, great arch support but not as roomy in the toe box where I need the room. Just uncomfortable enough that I know I can't wear them with socks in the winter.

As cute as these are, I wanted to love them. But unfortunately I don't. The curve of the heel bites into the back of my ankle and hurts even after several weeks' break-in time. I can only wear them with socks, which wasn't my intention. I'm disappointed.

I have the old version of these Tevas, from several years ago, and have loved them for a long time. In fact, I still love them, and they look brand new even after many mountain hikes. But even with repeated attempts to clean them, their fabric has become so stinky I just can't wear them anymore. So: the main difference with these new shoes is upgraded materials, which I assume would not retain smells so much. BUT... I wanted to love the new Omnium just as much as my old Teva sandals, but one critical difference is the reduced adjustability in the heel. The old sandals had an adjustable strap here as the only closure. That back area is now inexplicably filled in (even though the adjustable strap also still exists on top of it), and it's the one total deal-breaker for me on this shoe. The filled-in area now digs straight into my upper heel, making it impossible to walk in these. So, unfortunately after trying on at home, I'm going to have to return them. If you have a "taller" heel area, they may be fine, but they didn't work for me. Otherwise, everything about these felt great, so I'm very sad to have to send them back. I'm going with an Ecco Sport open-toe sandal for now, but my hunt for a closed-toe one like this is still on!

I am normally a solid 6½, but my toes were right up against the front edge of the shoe even though the sole was a little wide. So I ordered a 7 and even that was a little too short, and now the sole was so wide I looked like a duck! I am surprised most people found the size true to fit - it makes me think that Teva has a quality control/consistency issue. Too bad, because it seemed like the perfect shoe to take on a trip to the rain forest.

This shoe was perfect in all ways except one which was a deal breaker. The strap that goes behind the heel had no padding and would have rubbed terribly. I had to return them. I wear this type of sandal all the time. It is even my primary gym shoe except for high impact type. I am a hiker. I traded it for a Keen Whisper sandal which has been excellent for only a little more.

These were way too wide in the toe box area. I have narrow feet and so that's probably the problem, but they looked super goofy on my feet. I had to send them back.

Finally got the correct size but couldn't wear this shoe. The foot opening is so small that socks get pulled tight over toes as shoe goes on. Maybe this support system is good for some feet, but certainly not mine. I have work Tevas for years, but now cannot find the Dozer. Please bring it back!

I used to love Tevas but these let me down. I wore them walking every day for 3 weeks before our trip and they were great. I had gotten them for a 7-day canoe trip that involved 19 portages and by the 2nd day out I had raw places on the backs of both heels and it was agony every time I had to put them on again for getting in and out of our wet-foot canoes. So disappointed. The rest of the family had Keen's and no one but me had any discomfort.

My daughter loves her old Teva's. She says these are not as roomy and comfy as the old ones. So we are returning them. Maybe another style will work better for her.

I purchased these shoes for a trip to Europe thinking that they would be foot friendly for hours of walking. They were not! Unfortunately they were a huge disappointment. You can see by their photo that he heels of the shoes cup and curve, and the top of that curve cut into my heels resulting in big blisters. At first I wore them with no socks and had to add Band-Aids, but the curve kept making the Band-Aids roll, so I had to add socks which looked really dorky. Even without the blisters, in my opinion they are not comfortable because the feet start to sweat. I regret the purchase.

Still working on this one. Just got my regular size 8.5 after reading a high percentage rated it "true to size"; but it's much too long and large in the toe box, exactly like the Keen's I am intent on replacing. I'm also not sure the back strap isn't going to rub above my heel. But we will see. I just ordered down half a size. Thanks Zappos for making these exchanges so easy! I do really like the style of the shoe and how they make my foot look small - also unlike the Keens. I am looking forward to giving them a good try out, as I need a pair of summer walking shoes.

I actually love these shoes. The reason for my rating of 3 stars is the last pair I got barely lasted a year before the shoe came apart at the bottom. I have a couple older ones that are still in use, and they haven't fallen apart. This pair made me wonder about quality control. Come on Teva you can do a lot better than this.

Comfortable, nice looking. Not as adjustable as the two velcro straps would indicate so a little harder to put on - I prefer something that is easier to slip into.
