Customer Reviews Teva Katavi Thong

wear them 90% of the time

I've owned these sandals for five+ years now. They've been to Key West 3 times, all the way to Alaska and many places in between. They are durable, comfortable, and stylish. They have excellent traction (far better than standard flip-flops) and are simply cool and practical. I probably wear them too much!! ha ha ha!!! I usually would balk at paying [$] for flip-flops but these have been worth every penny!!!!I'm buying a pair for my wife now! She wears mine half the time anyway!!!!

I'm a female, and purchased these men's flip-flops because I have wide feet. The women's version is too narrow for me. Well I'm a dog-walker and I walk about 6-12 miles per week in these shoes. I have had them a little over a year, and I must say that these are the most comfortable flip-flops I have ever owned. In the cooler months I even wore these with socks(stylish, I know) My husband has a pair too, and loves them just as much. I am so surprised that I can comfortably wear this type of shoe, and my feet feel great at the end of the day. I just wish they came in a larger variety of colors.

Just ordered my 3d pair. I think this style was more durable 4-5 yrs ago, as my 1st pair lasted twice as long as my 2d pair. Still, love these flip-flops for their style and comfort!

My last pair of Teva's lasted 5 years and I wore them constantly. ( I still use them in the garden) This pair is very similar and I expect to get the same wear and enjoyment out of them that the last pair gave me. The most comfortable flip flop or sandal I have ever owned!

I use these for short day hikes on Hawaii. They fit my feet better than their predecessor and don't stretch as much. Lightweight, I don't feel like I have shoes on at all. They dry pretty quickly too. Made to last. My 4th pair of Tevas.

We write Hawaiian hiking and beach guides and have buying top-end flip flops for years. 1. Teva is the best among the options (Reef, Montrail, O'Neil, etc.) 2. This model is Teva's best effort. I love the cushioned heel bed---but with still great arch support. Went up a muddy (Kauai red dirt) hillside just yesterday and they did not slip. The shoes seem also to be lighter weight than previous versions. They also hug the foot well, i.e, very little flapping action. Wouldn't buy another kind, given what we do.

This is the only shoe I wear outside of work. It is like walking on a bed I have never had anything so wonderful on my feet.

Since I'm retired, I only wear my Terra Fi3's or my new Katavi Thongs. My last pair of Teva thongs lasted over ten years with very little tread wear. They always hd a positive grip while boating or just general walking in the rain. I absolutely love them and would reccomend the Katavi thongs and or the Terra Fi 3's to any ans all of you Teva fans.

I have found TEVA flip flops have an excellent footbed and hold up over years of use and neglect. I wear them 8 months a year and expose them to sand and salt water constantly. They look and feel great after a days, weeks, months, years of use. I buy a new pair each year for "special occasions" but the oldies still look and feel great !

I need a lot of foot support and most flip flops are too flat but the Tiva's molded arch support works well and allows me to walk long distances in the Teva flip flops. They are very comfortable and sturdy.

Definitely coming out on top of the Reefs brand for the same pricing, IMO. The soles are not the hard plastic which the Reef brand has been incorporating into their flap soles making them slip on wet or dry surfaces. These have good grip and plenty of traction on wet surfaces, due to there softer rubber soles. Fitment was on the larger size: if you wear a 10 get a 9 if you like a snugger fit. I originally bought 10's, but they felt to loose and I knew they'd stretch out with some wear-in. I sent my 10's back to be replaced with the 9's (free shipping both ways). Shoes are a bit pricey, so watch Tevas website for discounts and sales; I got mine for 1/2 off, making them a very fair deal with free shipping. Service was super easy to talk with. and they handled everything for me professionally and quickly.

Mostly use around the house, washing cars or at the pool.

Like these flip flops, they are comfortable to wear all day. This is my third pair, only problem is they only last about a year before they fall apart.

For my feet, TEVA makes a better quality and there is value with their sandals.

I have been wearing this particular style of teva for at least 10 yrs. Recently I've noticed change in fit for diff sizes. Up unti l tbis year I wore a size 11 in tbis sandal even though I wear 13 in shoes and boots. Most recently now in tbis sandal size 12 is the best fit. I also bought from another vender and size 12 was too small. Would be nice if sizing wasn't variable. I suspect you prob changed manufactures and hence sizing discrepancies. I have 3 new pair plys two others sp wont be an issue for 10 or 15 yrs when tbis style might even be discontinued. Otherwise, great sandals. I have anot her pair of diff style that is 18 yr old with a few repairs and have been wearing tevas since aboit 1985. Great sandals. Mark crowell

It is very comfortable and I like the look. ! only bought one instead of 2 pair because I learned that Teva's advertising is deceptive. t states everywhere on the website FREE SHIPPING AND FREE RETURNS, but that was not the case when I bought this pair on sale. It is all over the place on the website, but there is no asterisk and exclusions are not listed visibly everywhere this claim is made. For this reason, I will probably buy another brand next time even though I like the pair I bought.

This is my 3rd pair of these flip flops. I wore the first pair for 2 years. I had to keep gluing the sides of the strap back down into the sole. This is because I do almost everything in them in the spring-fall months. The sole has the comfort of a shoe sole so you can wear them for hours at a time. My only complaint is if you get the black ones don't rinse them off and put them in the sun to dry, the inner part of the sole shrinks in the sun, they can get wet just dry them in the shade. My whole family wears Teva's and we love them, I don't want this comment to get taken the wrong way. I have contacted customer service about this and they were quick to warranty them for me and give the complaint to the product development team. Great customer service, great product, will buy teva's in the future.

I'd been using the more disposable Teva flip flops and wanted something more like my Teva sandals. These flip flops are great, except that I'd like a size 11.5. 12 is my normal shoe size on most brands..I tried some 11s from a previous model year at a store and thought they were probably a better fit but a bit small. As of now, my foot floats around in the flip flop so I just make sure I'm not going to walk long distances in them. If I were to do it over, though, I'd probably get an 11...if I hadn't thrown away my shoebox, I would send them back for the 11 and let them stretch to fit over time.

It is my go to daily summer wear

My preferred foote are when dress shoes not required!

Daily use. Very comfortable

I use them inside my home only. They do make a little more flip flop sound on our hardwood floors than my last pair so far. They are just as comfortable as the last pair.I prefer my Teva sandals for outside wear.

Wear them fishing, at the Y when I take a shower. Also when I wear shorts. They give me great support. The only negative is they come apart. I think the glue breaks down from moisture.

First thing I put on in the morning. Worn inside, outside, outdoors. Beach is my life!
