These are my second pair of TEVA thongs. Couldn't tell you the name of my first pair because I purchased them over 7 years ago. Worried about having to break them in, but they were great almost from the box, and have worn them every day since. Very happy with the whole experience, from the website, to getting exactly what I wanted out of the purchase. I would definitely recommend the Katavi Thong, and will shop the TEVA website first for any of my family's footwear needs going forward. Thank you TEVA!

The best thing about these sandals is you can walk all day and your feet stay comfortable like a regular shoe.

This is my third pair. Very comfortable and supportive for a thong style flip flop. Good arch and thick sole make this a good all around sandal.

I'm selective when buying things I wear because I want the highest quality I can. I got my pair of these about two or three years ago during a vacation with my parents. My mom had been urging me to buy a new pair of flip flops for quite a while, but I couldn't find any that I liked. These were displayed on a shelf and I loved the design n tried them immediately.
They're easy to run in. Even though I find myself clutching my toes to the flip flops to keep them to my feet instinctively, they've never slipped off.
My dog put a few bite marks into the back and the color of the straps is fading a bit, so I'll be ordering another pair soon

I already knew the shoe, but had been unable to find it anywhere. Until I checked Zappos. Delivery, product quality, and quality of service were all 6 out of 5 stars. Plus they granted me VIP service so I get free next day delivery. Run, don't walk, to Zappos to enjoy the same convenience.

My wife bought these for me a few years back and there is no equal. I decided this summer to try something new but after spending a week going all over San Diego's surf shops and outlet malls trying less expensive and more expensive pairs, I couldn't find anything that compared to the combination of comfort and support that the Teva Katavi offered so I bought another pair (off the web site) and I couldn't be happier.

These are great multi-purpose sandals. I own all kinds of flip-flop brands... Teva (5), Keen (3), Merrell (5), OluKai (3), Ecco (2), etc. The Merrells don't hold up for rough wear...the straps tend to break and on the expensive leather ones the top sole will come unglued from the bottom sole, I have rubbing issues on my big toe with the Keens, and the OluKai are great unless you do a lot of walking on pavement and have back problems...not enough cushioning on the heel to absorb the shock. I use these Tevas on the treadmill and do two miles at 3.5 mph with no problems. I, also, wear them when doing yard work and when on an 8 foot step ladder. I have four pairs (like these), love them, and wear them every day. I'll rinse and/or soak them in warm soapy water (for ten minutes to loosen the dirt) in the utility sink and set them outside on the lanai to dry. I do this from time-to-time to keep them clean and looking good enough to wear to the store. I've had these for years so the style is somewhat different than the current ones pictured. However, the construction of this model looks the same as mine. In my opinion, the price is very fair. I will have to say that the Teva Jetter Thong looks very nice, as well, and this is the one that I might be trying next.

At first my husband was complaining about the heel since he was not used to having a good supportive thong sandals but eventually he got comfortable with it after explaining to him that it has a good support for his heels.

Little stiff at first but have no doubt these will be my go to sandals.
Used to wear Reefs, comfy, but not a good wet flip-flop.
These have a sole similar to a Mud Tire! Tacky with lugs. My feet don't slide around when they get wet either.
Feel great, look great and should last awhile.

Love these slippers/zories/thongs (whatever you'd like to call them). On my third pair because they provide good support for arches, solid footing, and look great. I would order them a half size smaller than normal shoes, the strap will stretch a bit within the first week or so. Second pair only lasted 5 months before the glue of the sole let go. Excellent Zappos replaced them and I hope that they got reimbursed by Teva, since I believe that it is/was a manufacturing issue. The first pair lasted a solid 2 years and I pretty much wear them every day (mornings and evenings and weekends all day). Great for walking the dog and light hiking as well. Excellent on the beach, boat, etc., but I'm starting to suspect that they don't like full immersion that much.

Great to slip on and go. Quality enough to not darken your soles.

I bought this pair for my husband, who used to have the same model years ago and loved it. It's a comfortable, sturdy thong with excellent support. And they look great! He uses it for long walks and easy hikes. We'd been looking for them in stores but they're hard to find, especially in a size 12. So glad they're available on Zappos!

My husband wears flip flops all year long. They began to hurt his feet so I ordered these. He LOVES them. Only ones he wears now.

This is my second pair and will not be my last.
I have searched for years for a sandal that will not make my feet tired or sore and I found it in the Teva Katavi. It's a very confortable stable and supporting Sandal.
This sandal is also stylish and very durable.
My bulldog which can chew through an engine block got a hold of them and was not able t destroy them.

I found these thongs a couple of years ago and wear them every day so I bought another pair but I just can't wear out the first pair. They are very comfortable and last forever.I defiantly would buy again and will if I can wear the first two out.

I've had a pair of Teva Thongs for about 10 yrs and they're still not worn out. I just wanted some new ones... I'll wear the old ones for yard work. I've worn them year round except for when it gets really cold. These are even nicer with the support they give. The strap is a hair snug when new but they form to your foot by the second day. I fully expect these to last 10 more years!

I wear these thongss year round, in all sorts of weather, even in thin snow. I'm an over the road truckdriver, and comfort is all important to me. Something that can give me traction in all sorts of environments, from warehouses on concrete to gravel, dirt and mud, in rain and snow, a long lasting, rugged, hard wearing thong is what I prefer. When new, the straps are a little uncomfortable, but they do stretch to fit. Of several different brands I have used, these are the best. I'm on either my second or third pair. I wear them out, but a thong that can last over a year under constant use as I use them is a real winner in my book.

Great flip flops. Lasted 2 years and are worn almost every day (I'm a yacht captain and I follow the warm weather). Plus Teva cleans up 1' shoreline with every pair of footwear purchased - go green - wear Teva.

I have huge bunion on my right foot which has caused my toes to point to the right. Most flip flops just don't work for me. These are perfect. I couldn't live without them. If they ever go on sale, I'll buy several pair.
