Customer Reviews Teva Omnium

I am disappointed in the comfort of this shoe. I wore it today for about 6 hours and have a blister on the back of the heal and sore spots on my toes. It is nice that it adjusts with the string and the straps but overall I don't know how it got such high praise from the other customers.

Even though I have narrow and thin (top to bottom) feet, I usually wear a 9. But in this shoe, the 9 was WAY to wide. My foot swam inside and they just did not work for me. Cute to look at, though!

This is my second pair of Omniums. I had the first pair for several years, and they were comfortable right out of the box. Unfortunately, the sole of one of the shoes came completely off. Re-gluing the sole didn't look like a good option. So, I purchased a new pair. The second pair didn't even seem like the same brand of shoe. The look was good, but the shoes were stiff and uncomfortable. The support and cushioning in the second pair was not even in the same league as the first pair. The second pair will likely become yard shoes as my feet ache whenever I wear them.

These are really cute shoes. I wanted them for hiking. They would probably be great for river rafting, but the insoles are the kind of rubber/plastic that make your feet sweat. I could wear socks, but what is the point of socks plus holes in the shoes? I reluctantly sent them back.

My husband got these shoes (they were the mens ones) and he loves them. However, I didn't have as great of luck with mine. I got these because we had a lot of walking to do in Disney Land and Sea World and some hikes this summer. I ended up having to wear band aids the first day I wore them a long time because they started to rub the top of my heel and I didn't want a blister. We went on a hike about a week after I had been wearing them often and I got 4 blisters (two on the top of each heel) when our hike was over. They would have been great if it wasn't for how the back heal strap rubbed. Other reviewers have had great luck with them but for me they didn't fit right. I was pretty bummed. My husband still loves his and hasn't had a single issue with them. He wears his all the time.

This shoe was kind of cute. I liked the color well enough (grape snake). The toe area was huge, even for my somewhat largish feet. In addition to this shoe I tried a Khombu and two styles of Keen. This one was the best fit in terms of true to size (the others being smaller than expected), but the tongue area and top strap on this shoe went too high up my ankle. It was uncomfortable to have the strap rubbing against the spot where my ankle meets my leg on the top of my foot. Also, the very large toe box looked a bit funny. The other three shoes felt more comfortable, just smaller.

I wanted to love this shoe. I bought it because it has more adjustability than my usual Keens. However, it has a piece of elastic that goes around the ankle. This elastic just cuts in to the back of my ankle terribly. Also, the texture of the insole was very irritating to the bottom of my foot. These will be going back to Zappos and I will order another pair of Keens.

In the pictures and video, this shoe looks like it could be totally cute sandal for walking on a rocky beach, but when it arrived the front of it looked really wide - like duck feet. I have a narrow foot, so I can imagine someone with a wide foot liking this shoe. I ended up getting the Keen La Paz thong, and am much happier with the style and comfort level for my upcoming vacation.

The toe box on these was so wide, they fit less like a sneaker than I thought. They seem like quality shoes, just not what I was looking for so I returned them.

I have a wonderful love/hate relationship with these shoes. I love them. I love them so much I own them in every color. My foot is small enough that I can fit in the 'big kid' shoes and I have those in every color as well. I probably have about a dozen pairs of Teva Omniums. I wear these year round and they are hands down the most comfortable shoes I own. I originally bought these for a trip to Jamaica. I was looking for a good amphibious shoe. These seemed to fit the bill. I wore them while climbing Dunn's River Falls. The first problem was immediately evident. Sand and small rocks get in them. Ouch. Not good. To be fair this would be a problem with any brand/style of sandals with this design. The second problem came up after I got out of the falls and I noticed my shoes were coming apart. Just a little at the back on the sides near the heel. It wasn't that big of a deal so I wasn't too concerned. Fast forward a year. I got out of my car one night and nearly fell on my face. One of the soles on my shoe had nearly peeled off. Grrr. They were fine when I got in the car. I looked into this on other websites (Teva/Amazon, etc.) only to find this is a huge and common problem with these shoes. Lots of reviews stating this was a problem. And to make matters worse, Teva doesn't seem to care. For shoes that sell for this price, I find this totally unacceptable. I've since repaired my shoes with some SureHold Multi-purpose SureFlex Adhesive I bought at a local Walgreens. So far so good. They're holding up. If your looking for a good, comfortable shoe these are great. Just don't wear them in water. Water seems to loosen up the glue Teva uses. None of my other Tevas have had the sole peeling issue knocks wood, but I also haven't used any of them as 'water shoes'.

The shoe fits to size. I tried on the shoe and sat with it on for awhile. It's rubbery insole made me sweat and since I live in AZ, that's not a good thing.
