Customer Reviews Teva Zirra

Nice sandals: light and comfortable. Length runs true, but if your foot is on the narrow side, you may have trouble tightening them as snugly as you might want to do.

Very cute, but pretty narrow (true to being "Medium", while others that say they're medium are wider), also way too tight, even with the straps adjusted all the way out. I have a high bridge and opened up the clasp all the way and it was still not enough. Also, no arch support to speak of, if you really have any arches at all. Mine are pretty high.

Just got my new pair of Zirra Tevas and really liked how they felt walking around the house. Went for a 3 mile walk and came home with blisters on both of my little toes. All of the reviews said you could wear them out of the box. What happened with mine? Don't have wide feet so that isn't the problem. Very disappointed.

I am looking for a pair of cute sandals that: 1. Has good traction 2. Looks cute enough to wear with skirts as well as pants/shorts 3. Water does not bother them 4. Comfortable for all day walking 5. Worth the cost In my quest, Teva brand kept coming up and so I picked these as they were the cutest online and got good independent reviews from other travelers. First, I wear an 8 and even though reviews said to size down, they were on sale for an 8 so I went with that. Wrong decision - size down. If you go true to size, the benefits are the arch hits at the right spot but the cons are that the tip of the sandal crosses on the pinky toe (at least for me) and rubs wrong and they are a bit long, making my foot look big. Your choice though - if you are using for hiking, you might want the extra toe room to reduce risk of stubbing. Second, the traction is great and the bottom looks and feels like it'd work great for hiking, but the footbed is nothing special - I do not have a problem with the "water guides" but my feet are not excited to be touching it like with another brand. Third, when I am wearing it casually as I sit and work, my foot keeps slipping to the side and I find myself adjusting the sandal back to center - that's annoying. Finally, the main reason they are not at the top of my list is that the rubbing I mentioned earlier worries me - if they are rubbing the pinky with casual around the house testing, what will happen in the real world? Ironically, this is mainly an issue with just the right foot, but still a concern. tl;dr - size down a half step, straps may rub, good traction.

Bummed. Love the look, very comfortable - but impossibly challenging to get on and off. The ankle strap needs to be slid from the bottom so you can pull it tight and secure. Not the easy on off of most Teva's. I found that I really had to pull to try and tighten the strap which I'm sure would affect longevity. Sorry to say - they're going back. :0(

Not for narrow feet. The footbed was comfortable and supportive. However, I have narrow feet (AA), and the straps are designed for medium feet. When I cinched the strap on each shoe, the buckle hit the top of my little toe and its tendon. With a wider foot, the buckle would have been over the fleshy outside part of the foot. I couldn't tolerate the pressure and had to send them back.

These felt great for the first couple of weeks, but shortly thereafter, a shallow lump started to make itself felt under the sole, just to the rear of the arch area. With prolonged walking or standing, this lump became very uncomfortable. The same thing happened on a previous pair of Tevas that I bought in another style. I've been wearing Tevas for several years and it's only in the past year that these two pair have had issues with the sole deteriorating in that way.

Beware the sizing - these run huge. I'm always a 6.5 or 7 in sandals. The 7 was way big, exchanged for a 6, skipping 6.5 entirely because that's how big the 7 was, and then the 6 was still too big so settled on 5.5, which is unheard of for me. Besides that they are very nice/look nice on but haven't worn them yet so can't give a full verdict yet, which is also why I can't weigh in on how many stars I'd rate.

Super difficult to get in and out of. I don't quite get the one-strap-threaded-through-the-whole-footbed idea. If it's tight enough to fit, it's too tight to put on. They looked great and the footbed was comfortable but I couldn't fight the straps each time. Back they go.

Good support, straps are comfortable, true to size but that darned buckle is near impossible to adjust. I'm so disappointed because I like everything else about this sandal. I think a velcro adjustable strap would make a lot more sense here.

Love the style and fit but the buckle is a pain. Should be velcro. Am returning because I don't want to deal with the buckles every time I put them on.

I really want to love these - as others have noted, they are very attractive sandals (more stylish and less clunky-looking than a traditional Teva sandal) and comfortable; however, the one continuous strap that tightens the entire sandal can barely be tightened! I have fairly wide, but flat feet, and tightened them as far as I could...and even just trying to walk around in my house with them on, they are floppy and I can tell I could never really wear them out for even a short walk (I got them in hopes of wearing them for walking around all day traveling). So disappointing - the red/multi color is so cute, too.

I love the style of these shoes. And they are amazingly comfortable. But the strap across the foot will not close tightly enough so the shoe is a little loose. Going to have to return.

Having to return these. I wear size 11. Footbed was the right size, straps were too loose when tightened all the way. Also not very supportive in arch.

Does not fit to size, order smaller than normal. Picture is cuter than it is in real life. I was hoping to get a sandal with support but stylish - this isn't the one.

I bought these sandals for vacation: beach, jungle adventures, and traipsing around the city. Unfortunately, they were not as comfortable as I'd hoped. I got blisters on the heels and little toes of both my feet and the blue dye rubbed off the pad on the heel strap, staining my skin for several days. I love the style and color (I got the dazzling blue), and the soles and straps seem to hold up well. I ordered these shoes in my regular size (8.5) and they fit perfectly. I'm going to hold onto them for activities like floating the river and light hikes, but won't be using them as my "heavy duty" sandals, which was the original intent.

I wanted to love this sandal because it has nice arch support and a minimalist style that would look nice with a skirt. Unfortunately, this is a pretty wide sandal and the straps don't adjust enough to fit a narrow foot snugly. If you don't have a narrow foot, I'd recommend this shoe.

Stylish casual sandal, would go well with skirts or dresses, but it's a shame the sandal isn't fully adjustable. The strap that connects the front to the back of the sandal allows you to partially narrow the width, but the other strap that connects to it with the buckle isn't adjustable at all. In the case of this pair, the right was also considerably wider than the left, and I couldn't adjust it enough -- my feet are pretty comparable in width, so I suspect there was a flaw in the sandals themselves.

The shoe was comfortable and I would like to have kept it. But the strap didn't stay tight and kept loosening as I walked. It was just too irritating for me.

Maat Brown is a great color - much better in person than on screen! However, I could not get these secure enough on my feet for outdoor use (hiking, kayaking, etc.). Very cute, though. Disappointed to send them back. The footbed felt kind of strange -- has these indentions that are a little irritable.

Oh how I wished these sandals worked on my feet! They are low profile and comfortable EXCEPT for the little plastic piece by the baby toe that rubs me in just the wrong place. They look so nice and not bulky like so many sporty sandals. Unfortunately did not work for me.

I ordered them regardless of the complaints about the straps. I have large ankles, so I thought it wouldn't affect me. They are so comfortable! But I can't get them any tighter! Plus it is a pain to tighten and loosen it. They flop a bit as I walk, but the cushion is great. There needs to be more leeway in the strap tightening, really.

These shoes are comfortable but difficult to put on and adjust. Most other Tevas has velcro closures. This one has a pull-strap that after 2 weeks of wearing I still can't figure out. I can't get it as tight as I'd like and as a result they are a little loose. It's not a big enough problem for me to send back, but I probably wouldn't buy them again. On the plus side, they are very cute and I have gotten a lot of compliments on them.

They are almost impossible to get on and off! The ankle strap isn't easy to adjust, which is good to keep the sandal on, but it's annoying and frustrating to loosen it to take on and off.

Comfortable, cute (for a Teva) but not adjustable enough. I have narrow feet so when I snug these tight enough to keep me from sliding around in them, the slider won't stay put. I am constantly messing with them and have about 5" of excess strap flapping around In the older versions of these sandals you could tighten to your heart's delight. I've had to cut off excess strapping, but who cares when you've never been able to have a sandal that fit. Teva, please listen to us and keep the adjustability in all your sandals.
