Customer Reviews Teva Tirra

I wear these sandals at work and on outdoor adventures. I love the way they fit the sole of my foot with their high arches. I can comfortably run fast for short distances with them on. They are very durable and can be used in water activities, which I love. However, part of the top strap cut into my skin and hurt a lot the first few weeks I wore the sandals. It is not so bad now after several weeks of use but still isn't great. I also got mixed comments about the look of the shoe.

The footbed is incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately, the ankle straps are too high, and the left one is at an angle where the top edge cuts into the front of my ankle while the bottom edge doesn't touch at all. (I tried on other pairs in size 7.5, black, and they had the same problem.) I keep trying to adjust the straps in different ways so they'll work, because the rest of the sandal is very comfortable, and I'd like to be able to wear them on long walks. I hope the ankle straps will be improved on next year's model.

I bought these sandals from a store, after having looked for such sporty sandals for about 2 years. I was so happy about the great comfort the sole provides, plus the shock absorber at the heel which makes them even more comfortable comparing to previous Teva models. But I sadly discovered, after buying them, that the ankle strap is way-way too short and they cut in my foot. I've only worn them at home so far, because I'm planning to take them back to the store. If possible to get adjusted (i.e. be taken back to the factory and sewn again), it would be really great, I'd really like to keep them, they're the most comfortable sandals I've had so far.

I have sent 2 pair back because the velcro is lifting. On one shoe the velcro is secure and on the other shoe it is lifting. Trying for a 3rd time because I really like the shoe.

I love Teva sandles however my first thought that they were wonderful was greatly dimmed after taking a walk only to find that the tab on the side cut into the side of one foot. The other side was fine. It literally cut it open. After trying a few things that didn't help I found that if I turn the tab down it works, but not sure for how long. Still, I'm sad that I have to do this as it's not permanent and these shoes should be wonderful out of the box, which they normally are. I like the newer firmer cushier footbeds, they are soooo nice. The top strap on these is higher than other ones and I think they need to rethink this, it can be cutting even with the adjustments you can do. If I hadn't worn them I probably would have sent them back. Too expensive to not be perfect for Teva.

The ankle strap is way too short. Exposing a great deal of Velcro which is catching on and damaging my pants. I am disappointed since these sandals were so comfortable. I need them to assist in preventing back pain. They really gave me the support I needed. I did not buy them directly from Teva but from a store [...]

I thought I would be able to adjust the straps for a better fit. I have narrow feet, but due to some problems, they weren’t comfortable. I need shorter and softer straps.

These would probably work for somebody... with extremely small ankles. But not for me. And it was a pity, because the foot bed material felt GREAT, but everything else about them just worked wrong. The back straps gave me blisters. The velcro on the ankle straps was just in entirely the wrong place for a person with normal-sized ankles, and because I could barely fasten them, the way they sat was just not right. I heard a good review from a neighbor who bought a pair, but they just didn't work at all for me.

I use them in the summer for adventure. I can't wear them because the backs of them dig into my heals so bad even when I wear them in the house and don't have them strapped tight .

I have worn the Teva Tirra sandals for over a decade. They have been my go-to hiking sandals without any issues until now. I was so excited to get my new pair, only to find on the first day of walking in them, that I had very painful blisters develop on the back of both my ankles. No matter the adjustments I tried to make, the back strap fabric is shorter than previous models and I I hope the product development people remedy this. It literally cuts through the skin. I'm very disappointed that my go-to hiking sandals are actually harmful, likely due to a change in fabric and/or manufacturer.

There is a design flaw with these sandals. They rub on the insides of my ankles just enough to cause blisters after 30 min of wear. This did not change if you loosened the straps. Please redesign these straps so they do not rise as high and rub the ankle bone.

I use the sandals for leisure, shopping, going on walks a 2-3 times a week, and occasional moderate hiking. I've had my first pair probably 10 years and have loved them to death through overseas travel and national parks, so that they are more than a little ragged now. The new ones I just bought are exactly the same, except they're not. They feel shorter even though they are the same size, and the straps on the top of the foot are not as comfortable. They feel fine, just not great. I realize they are not broken in yet, and will probably become more comfortable, but the first ones I bought years ago and another style that I have didn't require any 'breaking in." The soles are good and I still like the shoes, but am a bit disappointed after the original ones I bought have been so perfect.

Although the shoe bad was plenty wide enough, the straps just were not long enough!

Bought these sandals yesterday, specifically to take on an active tour in Europe this summer. Wore them today around the grocery store to try them out and so glad I did. Blister on back of right foot and red sore area on left over Achilles tendon. Very disappointed

Other features are probably great, like arch support, half size, grip, water resistance. But it's hard to care when I've spent so much on a hiking shoe that ripped up my skin. Why this design doesn't include an additional pad on the achilles like some others is beyond me. I want to give it a chance, although I should probably return it. My advice to TEVA would be to make one shoe that has all desirable features instead of trying so hard to differentiate all these water+hiking sandals that each have only some of the features.
