Customer Reviews Teva Katavi Thong

This is my second pair of the Teva Katavi Thong. Wonderful arch support and the most comfortable pair of sandals I've ever owned.

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.

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.

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.

Great flip-flop. Very comfortable. They lasted 2 years with near daily use.

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.

I have a problem with my feet getting very swollen, I cannot wear shoes. I wear these everyday. They are comfortable, and very secure.

I purchased these for my husband and he started wearing them immediately. There was no break in period. He said they molded to his feet and he wears them as much as possible.

My first pair of Teva are over three years old and still lasting well I just got the Kativa and believe it is the Best you can buy

This is the second pair of these I have owned. The first pair lasted 4 years - wearing them every day after work and all day on weekends. They have good arch support and are very comfortable. Order them 1 size smaller than your running shoes.

One of the best pair of flip flops ever! Great product. Substantial and comfortable--and nice fit and feel.

I have weird feet and they're big too, so finding a great flip flop isn't just walking into WalMart and grabbing one off the rack. These were perfect. They are a bit pricey, but I'm sure they will hold up and thus be more cost effective. I recommend them to other goofy feet.
