Customer Reviews Teva Tirra

I purchased the shoes for a planned trip in which tons of walking was planned. I was surprised to find that they don't require a break in period at all for me. Fit is true to size and they are very comfortable. My only complaint is that I would truly like to wear them all the time and they are a little clunky, "granola" looking for my work day, darn it! Otherwise, they are a dream.

Most comfortable sandals I own

I ordered these online based on great reviews because no stores had them in stock. I usually like to try on shoes and walk around the store for a while. I wore these all day when I got them and it felt like I didn't have shoes on - they were so comfortable! I plan to wear them to walk around Disney World next week! I did notice that I got small itchy bumps on the tops of my feet where the straps were, which is why I put chafes, but I think it was mostly due to the extremely hot humid weather and not the fault of the shoe.

Headed to the river in these

the velcro is separating from the strap at the end of the strap & only a couple of weeks old. looks like it was glued at the end rather than stitched like the rest of the strap.

I love these sandals but, as I've found with other Tevas, the insole is hot! It won't stop me from wearing them but I do have to take them off once in a while!

I bought these shoes for an upcoming vacation and while I have decided not to use them for that purpose (no fault of the shoes, my family likes to step on my toes), I wear them almost everyday to work, to run errands, to go for a walk or shopping. They are extremely comfortable. I have two pair, one 7.5 and one 8. My normal size is a 7.5 wide and the 7.5 fits perfectly! The 8 fits well but is a little long, but just a little. I still wear them with no issues.

I bought these for a trip in which we would be in and out of water a lot. I wanted a sandal I could hike in and use in ponds and streams, etc. The sandal is sturdy and comfortable, with good arch support, but I have found that the front straps are two wide. I had to take the sandal to a shoe repair shop to have them move the velcro in and trim the straps. Be aware if you tend to have narrow feet. I like the KAYENTA sandal better but with its leather back strap it may not be as suitable for water usage.

foot bed smells after a while, must be soaked in vinegar and baking soda. Miss the original coral color

Disappointed with this sandal and unfortunately wore them before discovering why. Good points are: they are true to size relative to previous Teva. I've read they are a bit longer and I would agree, just a tad but my foot shape matches the toe shape. Foot bed is cushy soft without squishy stickey-out rim I've seen on other footwear that looks primed to get torn with the first sharp encounter. I have reasonable arches and the arch is perfect. Sole is soft and flexible enough to be one with my foot and I can feel the ground but pointy things don't poke. The wicked thorns here I expect would poke thru with relative ease but I'm not planning to do battle in the yard with these (and meticulous about policing what I cut.) I'm tending to go to Wides but this Med is fine, perhaps a tad narrow but not causing any visual or comfort issues. Not as cute as the pair they were to replace, but cute enough. Utilitarian enough for the lava shore and trails here, fine for boat diving and would glide into a skirt for dinner at an upscale restaurant (here in Hawaii) without skipping a beat. They appear well constructed, the outer sole looks suitable for rough terrain, isn't trippy, likely to be durable and equally well suited to the sidewalk. The two point adjustable toe straps accommodate the various bumps that protrude different places on each foot and the slender webbing is more feminine than the wide webbing styles. Bad news is the ankle enclosure is a one piece fixed position with no heel adjustment. The material itself is comfortable enough but the rigidity positions my foot too far forward and my toes gravitate over the edge. I have not been able to crank down the forefoot straps enough to prevent it although well enough to leave deep indentations and abrasions (painfully) trying. I'm not overweight and have no hint of kankles but the fixed ankle strap angle immediately abrades my skin no matter how loose. Even if the strap is cranked tight the padded portion under the webbing is almost all on the Right side of my ankle, rather weird actually. I couldn't figure out why that strap hit so wrong until setting another very similar design alongside and voila! The one piece is rigidly set at a sharp angle, a good 2 - 3" above the pair with floating web in a triangle. So the whole sandal fit is wonkey entirely due to the fixed ankle one piece enclosure system. I tried these on before purchasing and was a huge mistake to concentrate on the feel of foot bed and fore foot adjustability and assume they just needed some tweaking to find the sweet spot. After decades of Tevas, this is the first pair I deeply regret getting. More and more each time I put them on, makes no difference if I'm sitting down, standing or walking. If I kick my heel real hard on the ground a few times I can almost get my foot back where it belongs, almost. And within 20 sec motionless or one step walking, no matter how tight I make the forefoot straps, the heel strap shoves it right back forward. Since I've never had any problem with any Teva or ankle strap shoe before, I'm rather shocked about the whole thing. I see the reviews are quite good, perhaps claiming they run small and needing a larger size not minding having Frodo feet solves it for them. I have seen some very happy reviewers with photos displaying as much as 1-2" empty space in the front. I don't mind clunky footwear but I have Universals that I wear sloppy loose that look better than that.

I like everything about the sandal except the fact that the ankle straps are too short to overlap except for 3/4 inch and the strap lining therefore only protects part of my ankle. There is lots of Velcro that is not covered so it catches on everything. The place on the strap where there is no lining is scratchy.

Cuts a bit around heel and top of ankle. Otherwise, great.

This styleprovides the comfort and support I was looking for in a sandal.

Wore to a water park and my feet felt great up to hour 4. All the water on my shoes caused the shoes to chafe around my toes.
