This is a replacement for pair of Teva Dozer that I have been wearing since 2007. I wear the Dozer year round and found it to be a good alternative to sneakers for walking, hiking, biking, gardening, household chores, etc. I had worn my old pair so much that I didn't think it would last more than another year. So I was looking for a another Dozer for a while and was glad to find it at Zappos. Even better, the price was about the same as what I paid for the original pair at an outlet. The old pair was one size larger than my normal shoe size because I couldn't find a pair in my size. However, the adjustments in the sandal made it fit fine and being a little longer was not a problem. The new pair is in my normal shoe size and fits fine. It felt a little stiff initially because I was comparing it to my old pair which was loose due to wear. After about a month I didn't notice the stiffness in the new Dozer. The new Dozer has essentially the same design as the original one, with only some cosmetic changes. I always liked the design of the Dozer - the ease of putting them on tightening a single strap over the top of the foot, cover over the toes, good ventilation, rubber insole. The color is more grayish than a charcoal color as it appears in the photo.

Great looking sandal. Purchased for trip to the Caribbean. Now that I see it person it will be the only shoe I take with me (it's stylish enough to go with casual evening-ware). Wish it came in wide sizes but the velcro straps makes adjusting for comfort easy enough. Arch support is A-fricking-mazing! Sole gripping seems adequate when tested climbing up some wet rocks. All-in-all very pleased with this purchase.

These sandals are almost perfect. You can adjust the width but the heel stays snug. My heel feels like it is in a comfortable protected depression as opposed to being elevated like gym shoes. I will continue to wear this style even in the winter.

Great shoe, comfortable and cool to wear. Don't let the one really negative review scare you off,they work for me and others too if you believe reviews. The free shipping makes shopping easy and you can make sure to get the right size! The Zappos model works!

Absolutely love these sandals! This is my 2nd pair, I wore the 1st pair out after 2 years of abuse. These sandals have forded creeks and put on many trail miles in the Tetons, Glacier and Yellowstone, They took a beating in the BWCA on several week long canoe trips, they clean up well and are stylish enough to wear around town. Extremely comfortable and rugged. I will buy a 3rd pair when these wear out.

Very, very comfortable. Great arch support which makes the Dozer ideal for long walks in the park. I'm purchasing a second pair as a backup in case my current pair gets worn out or lost.

This is my 10th pair of Tevas over a 15 year span. Believe you me, these sandals are the Hummer model, totally off road, or just a walk about, either way they are comfy from start to finish. Don't buy seconds from other retailers, they will fall apart. Shop at Zappos for every reason.

Excellent shoe. I picked up a pair of these before taking off to Costa Rica. Jokingly referred to them as "Dad shoes" since they aren't much too look at, but as far as a hiking sandal goes, if you are going to be in wet areas, there isn't a shoe I would rather wear. 6 hours of walking through the rain forest later, I didn't have wet socks and boots to dry out. Also, works well with socks, if you want to be really cool. I will say if your big toe is narrow, it can maybe poke out from under the side of the toe cap. This was an issue for my wife, so she had to return hers. Zappos was awesome about that, as always.

I love these shoes! This is my third pair of Teva Dozers. We often go boating in the summer and I wanted something I could wear in and out of the water with a covered toe since I'm working with a trailer, skis, etc. and can stub my toe. These shoes are awesome for that and have been the most durable, most comfortable shoes I've owned.

I have been wearing Teva sandals for quite some time and have loved them. This latest pair is well constructed, are very comfortable (especially with the cushioned heels), and look good to boot!

Run a half size small. I ordered these for my boyfriend (I have the female version) and he's very happy with them. We wear them for jetskiing. Mine, after a couple of years, have started to get a bit stinky, but then I never wash them, so they're pretty great.

This is an incredible sandal but the service and web site at Zappos is even better than that. Shopping with Zappos is a real pleasure. It does not get any better than this!

These Teva Dozer's are the best. They are sandals that fit great and are very durable. I have an older pair of these and they have held up really well. I liked them so much I wanted another set!

I was glad that I am not the only person to have complaints about these sandals cutting the backs of my heels. I loved the look of the Dozer which is ultimately why I chose them over a pair of Keens. The first day I wore then I ended up with a large bloody blister on the back of each of my heels. I am sure that if you wear these enough you will get a callus back there, but a pair of shoes should not require that to be worn. I just do not get to wear mine that much I guess. I got these for those days when I want sandals but am doing a lot of walking so flip-flops are not really an option. After a couple of hours I have to take these things off, completely defeating the purpose of them. I will give them another shot this summer since I paid so much for them, but will probably get some Keens if I have the same trouble. Other than that complaint, these are really comfortable and I like them!

First off, the Teva Dozer in its previous incarnations was my favorite shoe. It was extremely comfortable, and I used it for light hiking, dog walking, and my casual work environment where I run around a lot. For this model, the footbed of the shoe has been changed, and it pushes into the middle of my feet when I walk, creating an uncomfortable feeling of pressure. Guess I need to find a new favorite.

These shoes are awful. Actually the worst shoe purchasing experience I have ever had. I had not owned a pair of Teva's in 5 years (when I used to be a rafting photographer) and I was excited to get another pair. I ordered these online and upon opening the box the shoes smelled like the love child of napalm and the Exxon Valdez. Fine I thought, at least they are pretty attractive looking. We went up to the DC area to sight see and thinking that these Teva's would live up to being as comfortable as my original pair - I decided to just wear the sandals. It was the worst shoe mistake I have ever made. The backs of the Teva's cut into my heel and back of foot deeply only after a 3 hour trek. My feet were bleeding so badly because of the poor materials used to make the shoe - I could not hike around Harpers Ferry at all. Honestly I believe Walmart sandals probably have better construction than these shoes. Razor blades are less abrasive than the Teva Dozer. My heels still have to have band-aids and neosporin applied daily - a week and a half after my purchase of the shoe. I will never order shoes from this company again! I would advise anyone thinking of doing so not to. The quality that used to exist with this brand has gone the way of the garbage can - I am out the price plus shipping because of it.

These are terrific shoes! I have bought several pair to have both for travel and at home. They are lightweight and the velcro adjustment across the instep makes for a very snug fit.

I've loved these shoes since my first pair a year ago. Teva Dozers are by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I'm a fan for life.

My son loves these shoes in a 6 but when we had to go to a 7 which is considered an adult mens as the price jumps a ton, the back part of the shoe keeps rubbing and making it red in only a couple of minutes. He has not worn these outside of the house yet - thank goodness - as these will be returned. In the past though these have been great and he always said they were comfy so I don't know if we just got a bad pair or if the adult mens is made different. I will look for another Teva Style shoe for him. Teva is a good sandal!

Definitely order one size larger; even then, the fit is snug! The toebed fits well, but with no room to spare. The ankle reinforcement on sling strap (can be seen in the shoe photo) dug into my ankle, causing discomfort when walking. Otherwise, these seem to be well constructed shoes with nice styling.
