I bought these sandals for my nephew who is getting married in the Dominican and because he wears size 15 it was very hard to get his size especially here in Canada. When I gave them to him he tried them on and fell in love with them. I am so glad he liked them; however, I also bought him the Chaos and they did not fit him at all. Way too short a space between the sole and the top of the shoe, he couldn't even get his foot into them.

This is my fourth pair of Teva thong flip flops. Quality and comfort, feels like your almost barefoot.

These are very durable flips, they seem to last forever. I had never had a flip not break the thong within a year until I tried Teva's. I am on my third pair and they are all still wearable. They are comfortable from the first day.

Hubby wore these everywhere -- never used the cap-opener on the bottom, but love having it there!
We got them for Maui, and he continues to wear them at home.

I've bought many thong sandals. Columbia Tango Thong is the very best. Unfortunately they are now discontinued. This Teva Katavi Thong is a close second. The footbed is well formed, and very comfortable (even with no arch support). They run a little large. I normally wear a 10.5, but the Katavi 10 is a perfect fit for me. One other thing...the sole thickness is just right. So many I've bought are too thick, or too thin, like the Teva Hurricane 3. I can't close without plugging Zappos. They continue to be head-and-shoulders above the rest.

My husband loves these sandals. He says it's like walking on pillows. Never had a more comfy shoe. Also they control foot odor as well!

Pleasantly surprised by these sandals. Took a week or two to break them in, but after that they felt very comfortable. The soles appear very durable and provide a stable foundation.

These sandals are an absolute must for the summertime. They are accurately sized, comfortable, extremely durable, and waterproof. They were shipped promptly and arrived in pristine condition. Highly recommended, you can't go wrong with Teva's.

Very comfortable, they have a real sole like regular shoes. These are the first flip flops that I can actually wear over long distances, etc.

I bought these shoes because I needed a sandal to wear with arch support. These shoes are very comfortable and have great arch support. These shoes are perfect for men or women. I\'m actually a woman with a size 12 wide foot, and these shoes in size 10 fit great.

Very comfortable and durable. Not your average flimsy flip flop. I would definitely buy again.

I had previously purchased a similar pair. They were too big. So I ordered these and they are about a size smaller than normal, but they fit perfectly. Very comfortable. Very cool looking. I love them, and I am super-picky when it comes to flip-flops/slippahs.

Extremely pleased with the comfort and support of these sandals. I\'m not a small person and need footwear that can meet high standards. I can honestly report that these do!

I thought they wd work because I love my Teva sandals with velcro strap. Had to send these back because straps were too tight and I have skinny fee. Might cd have gotten a larger size, wish they had fit. Got some for my son and his are fine.

Love these sandals. If you need high arch sandals with a soft feel to your feet, these are them! I wear a 10 in womens and needed the 9 in mens. I have bunions, and there was plenty of room for those, too!

Just got these in the mail. They look like quality, feel nice and fit better than my last pair of Teva thongs.
Both pairs are US mens 11 but this pair is slightly smaller then the old pair. For me this is a huge plus. Size 11 is now a perfect fix and I won't complain about the lack of half sizes anymore.

My feet are on the wide side and after trying on many thongs at local stores which were too narrow, I tried the slide version of this at a local outfitter. It fit great and was super comfortable, so I ordered the Thong from Zappos. I've had them for about a month and wear them constantly. They left some black residue on the bottom of my feet the first week, which was kind of annoying, but other than that, I like them so much I'm going to buy the slides too! And finally, my feet sweat a lot when it's hot in the summer and these Teva's still smell fresh as opposed to my old Keen's which needed washed once a week in the summer to get rid of the aroma.

These have edge moldings around, so they have a bigger than usual surface foot bed. So looks bigger. Very snug fit.

High quality, rugged, "adventure sandal"(TM). Lacks the comfort and arch support of a Reef sandal, but will hold up in hiking and other more rugged situations, and the slight lip around all of the edges helps me feel like my exposed parts are going to be a little more safe in those situations as well.

I bought these in May 2010 but hardly wore them until this year. Maybe the weather in Guam wore them down but when I took them along on a recent trip to Hong Kong they fell apart at Hong Kong Disney. It was hot but they only lasted two days before they separated in the front. I tossed them in the hotel trash. I should have brought my Reefs.

This shoe is quite comfortable. The only issue I've had is the strap between the toe has been harder to break in on one foot. That may have more to do with my anatomy than the shoe! Great buy!

Tevas are the only flip flops that actually have a good arch support. This is my third pair and won' t ever change brands again. I am a size 13, they fit true it size. Live them.

Finally. The search is over. For ten years I had unsuccessfully brought home pair after pair of flip flops for my 6'4", 235lb husband. None were adequate. This is no ordinary flip flop. It is more of a shoe with a thong top, it is that substantial. It can handle both a wide foot and a high arch. My husband thanked me for my perseverance, and then ordered a second, backup pair. Just to be sure he is never without!

Love these sandals, they are comfortable and fit the contour of my feet. I couldn't find them in stores around here. I had owned a lighter colored pair for a coule of years so I knew the size would be correcr. Zappos delivered them in 1 day!
