I ended up sending these back. I have bunions and the thin straps around the big toe were not very padded and were digging into my foot soon after I tried them on. I thought they were a little narrow as well. I've been much happier with Teva sandals with the single strap over the toes. Otherwise, they were cute sandals and would be nice for light walking/hiking.

I'm returning for a different strap configuration. It depends on your foot if I would recommend this particular pair

I am returning this shoe because of the grey bed. I really like the shoe but I'm concerned with how dirty the grey bed will become after I wear them daily throughout the summer. It's just strange to have a light colored shoe bed. Please make these with a black bed.

I still love the shoes I bought almost twenty years ago, hurricane sandals. Arch support is prominently placed just where you would hope. There's something sticky on the flatter footbed of this sandal which I'm having trouble to remove. I've had to trim the fray on the straps which is nothing I ever had to do with my first pair. You know how to make a great shoe for sure but this is cheaped out a bit. Hope you were looking for honesty. I'm keeping these. :). Appreciate your asking! - S Gleason

This is a decent shoe. However, the spots where the velcro is attached to the rubber straps does not seem to be secure. I like them but i will limit how often i wear them so they don't fall apart

Pro: lots of options for adjusting-->2 on top, 1 across top of ankle, and one on back for achilles/heel. Cons: too much extra velcro (the scratchy side, not the soft side) and I can see that being a magnet for dirt. Then trying to clean that would be a nightmare. Even with it being adjustable, the designer intended for there to be extra velcro exposed. I thought these looked a bit funny, just personal opinion, but once on, it just doesn't look right on my foot. Compared to Keens (Whisper, Rose Sandal) these were very uncomfortable just walking around the house to try them out. They rub, they're tight, and I ordered a larger size than I normally wear. Spend the extra money and try out the Keens.

The Terra Lite sandal is a totally different sandal than the Terra Fi-4. The terra fi-4 cushioning and support was AMAZING and made for rough terrain, whereas the Terra Lite is for more casual users as it does not even come close to the same support and cushioning...these will NOT work for me...I with either need to try the Hurricane XLT or buy Men's Terra Fi-4, as Teva no longer makes womens Terra Fi-4....the Terra Fi-4 has better support than the Hurricane that is why I bought them...as I am looking for the best sandal for support and cushioning as I do a lot of walking and even on rough terrain...I know the Terra Fi-4 has prevent ankle turn and sore feet, knees or even back, that is why I buy a GREAT shoe/sandal to prevent injury/hurt...I can stand 16 hours volunteer cooking for kids at summer camp and my feet are NOT sore in the Terra Fi-4...Teva PLEASE bring back Women Terra Fi-4 for us gals who want to tackle life head on, as not all of us gals are about being pretty all of the time...we want shoes that can handle our more rugged lifestyle...I am not looking ordinary, I want extraordinary like the Womens Terra Fi-4.

Terra Fi Lite...are simply that--too light...they no longer offer the support and cushioning like the Terra Fi-4...there are plenty of other Teva styles that offer more trendy styles that will please the more casual lifestyle...PLEASE bring back Terra Fi-4 for us gals who want a more rugged sandal that can perform to meet our busy and active lifestyle.

While I love Teva's, this pair is the first I have bought that didn't immediately feel as if custom made for my feet. still test wearing to decide.

Older TEVA's had higher arch support. Straps not long enough for my wide foot - only 1" overlap to hold shoe on - it's enough, but I wish I had more of the decorative ribbon to cover the velcro loop.

I have an older pair of Teva sandals that are so comfortable. I was hopeful that these would be as well. After adjusting the straps to fit my foot, I started walking around my house and noticed a slight burning sensation on the soles of my feet. It appears that the manmade material used did not allow for my feet to breathe or move freely. The friction from just the movement of walking for a few minutes caused not only a burning sensation, but I could see red spots on my foot pads. I could only imagine that any extended walking would certainly cause pain and blisters. Also, the arch support wasn't as good as my older pair. Sadly, I will be returning these.

they are pretty, but unlike my old pairs-no support-(and I do have bad feet and need it)-I am back to wearing my 15 year old pair that is glued together and the Velcro is shot-or my Teva athletic shoes which are still okay, but it is summer

I used the product for everyday outside the house actitivities. Although not as much support and not as comfortable as the Terra Fi, still reasonably good. However, in a few months the atttachment between the strap and the shoe broke and couldn't be fixed at a reasonable cost. Stick to the real deal the Terra Fi which is my fav of all shoes!

will admit I have bad feet, but my old pair had a lot more support-these, my legs hurt after about a half an hour on a firm surface and went back to my old pair, even though they were glued together and the Velcro was shot

One of the things I have always loved about tevas is the generous forefoot width. I have a 13-year old pair of Pretty Rugged sandals that I adore and need to replace, but this sandal didn't cut it. I had to return them because 1) they weren't supportive enough (lack of supportive midsole materials to make them lighter I guess), and 2) more importantly, they were really narrow in the front!

The first week I wore these shoes, I thought they were perfect: soles that gripped, comfortable straps, and pretty colors. After a few weeks, however, the toe straps began to turn up at the ends--the velcro just wasn't holding the end of the straps tightly. Also, the foam backing on the inside where the straps join began to rub a little. I still like the shoes, but they are no longer my first choice for long walks and their looks are shot.

Just got these today, along with the Hurricane XLTs. I will keep the Hurricanes & send the Terra Fi Lites back. I thought maybe the Terra Fi Lites were a superior shoe because they were more money than the Hurricanes. Yet the Hurricanes feel just as comfortable. And I agree with the other reviews that said the straps were too short on the Terra Fi Lites. When adjusted to your foot (and I don't have a wide foot at all), the straps are too short and leave a lot of velcro showing. This not only looks awkward but I'm sure would not stay clean-looking. So the Hurricanes win! For considerably less money, I think it is also the better shoe.

This new pair runs a bit too narrow. got them to wear at the beach & in the water. My old ones went missing. FYI I wear a 7 1/2 size and the 7 was too small.

The Terra Fi Lite is comfortable and requires no break in period. It looks a little less chunky than previous models. The sad part is that it provides little support for hiking or spending much time on your feet. I have 2 pair of Terra Fi 2s that are wonderful and supportive, with necessary rigidity for hiking. My husband and I both got a pair of this Lite model after wearing Tevas for many years. My husband describes it as mushy and worthless for hiking. I sent mine home from Italy because they weren't supporting enough for many hours of walking. I'm heartbroken that I can't count on Teva for hiking or walking sandals any longer.
