I returned these shoes because of design. I've been wearing Teva's for over 17 years and this new style of the Teri Fi Lite is not comfortable. I prefer the one strap on top by the toes as it is nicely padded and the two smaller straps are not nicely padded. PLEASE bring back the old style so can I bet another pair of Teva's.

Sole is just too wide. Even using Velcro to make tighter, the sole is too wide and the Velcro hangs over.

I had high hopes for these shoes however they felt as if they were made of twigs, with velcro straps. In only a couple of moments, the right shoe hurt my smallest toe even though they were not tight. I could feel the carved pattern in the insole and it uncomfortable. Perhaps the other reviewers have not worn truly comfortable shoes, dunno.

I have several pairs of Teva sandals, but these run small and the straps--all of them--are too small. Too bad because I really liked them.

I bought these to use specifically for river sandals and to use for a trip to Spain and Greece. I was kayaking the other day and did just a bit of walking after while the sandals were wet and hit a blister on the inside heel area. There is a ton of extra sole along the big toe area which may be ok for stability but never had that in my other Tevas.

Texas are made with quality. I've owned quite a few pairs in my life time. I'm not particularly fond of these, they rub across my little toes and make blisters. Size is right.

Overall, this is a cute shoe with easy put-on abilities compared to the Chacos I own. However, any time I wear these for more than two hours, the arches of my feet feel like I've been walking barefoot instead. I DO have high arches but I've only ever experienced this pain when wearing no shoes for long periods of time. This causes me to not even pick up the shoe as my shoe of choice - which disappoints me because I paid a lot of money for these.

I only wear teva sandals, esp. the "lite" styles. But this show runs small and I should have gone up a half size.

I bought this product because of the adjustable straps and overall design, thinking that it would fit better and be gentle on my feet. It might work for you

I used them for a light trekking with rain and mud and they widened, the stripes on the front were not closed, making me walk with difficulty. Otherwise, they were good walking on normal road.

Your lines seem to be geared to women who only want a certain look, without function. Teva used to make outstanding women's sandals. I have a pair that are 15 years old which I can't seem to wear out. I wore them hiking and even backpacking in the Colorado Rockies, I bought a pair of the Terra FI Lights, hoping I could use them in the Bavarian Alps, but sadly, they are not tough enough to handle even a smooth trail. It's unfortunate that Teva believes that there are not enough women athletes out there to make a sandal that is comparable to a man's sandal. You need to rethink your product line for women.

I bought these because the version in men's got great reviews for use as backpacking shoes. Little did I know the women's version, while retaining the robust tread, had changed the top straps to two thin straps with corresponding thin Velcro closers. They would have failed in one day on the trail. Why oh why can't you leave the delicate details on delicate shoes? Since teva doesn't make a men's size to fit me I'm out of luck. Very irritating. Sent them back.

Seemed comfortable at first, but after wearing them on a long walk (about an hour) rubbed the bottom of my foot causing a painful red mark. Next time I wore them with a bandaid on the sore spot, and it did the same thing to my other foot. I've had similar Tevas before and not had this problem.

I usually wear a 10.5 or sometimes even an 11 but these are so long that once I got them out on the trail, I kept tripping over the tips. (I also tripped over the tips in my classroom and ended up spraining my fingers in the fall.) The other thing that is strange about them is that they don't follow the natural curve of my feet so my feet are not centered in the shoe bed, which makes walking awkward. I love my Teva Hurricanes, which I purchased 20 years ago but sadly I cannot say the same for the Terra Fi Lites.

I have had Tevas forever, and my last pair has just now fallen apart after years of wear. I wear a size 12 women's shoe. Teva, however, cuts their shoes small, and therefore I am forced into buying men's Tevas. I wonder why companies assume that tall women with larger/longer don't merit well-cut shoes in their size, nor do they offer many colors or styles in that size. There is a market here. Fill it!

I generally love Teva. I know they'll fit and take a decent amount of abuse. Both of these are true of this sandal. The problem is the plastic piece that sits over your pinkie toe for where the front strap sits. We had a week of heavy walking on vacation. Not even very hard or uphill. At the end of every day I regretted this purchase. If I continue to wear these, I am pretty sure that I'll have bone spur on that toe. If I still had the box, I'd be sending them back.

Not a good replacement for the Terra Fi. Sizing is different (smaller, more narrow), and arch support is missing.

Purchased 4 Teva sandals. Two out of four had the sole separate from the main shoe after several wearings. Quality seems to be slipping supstantially as this is the first time I have had difficulties with Teva sandals and have been wearing them for years. Company doesn't respond nor offer to make this right.

It only has one star as I can't submit the review without clicking at least one star. It is much less than one star. Sandal strap cut into my foot first time out. Went to return/exchange them was told I could not. I called customer service. Someone in customer service said they would do it for me. Sent the defective sandal back to Teva. another style more like the originals that I had for many years. I was told my credit card would be creditded. Then I bought another pair of less expensive sandlals and waited over 10 days for them. Once they came I got an email saying my credit would be a gift card to theiir web site. They didn't credit my credit card for the full amount of the defective sandals I returned to them. I called customer service and they told me it was a retail exchange. I said I bought it off their web site and I wish I hadn't. I could have shopped locally, and if there was an issue, I could have returned or exchanged it. Did I mention this was during a heat wave and I had no sandals to wear, only shoes and socks? My original pair of Teva's lasted over 15 years and I loved them but after this experience, i will never buy Teva's again because of the customer service.

I wore my sandals on the beaches of Hawaii for hiking and going through water areas. The straps rubbed on my skin, causing blisters on the back and sides of my feet.

I'm very disappointed in Teva, as a brand. Their quality has really dropped in the past few years. I've had the same problem, with this model, as other reviewers complained, with straps being too short, exposing lots of Velcro & providing less support. Comfort is not what it used to be, either. The last straw was having the strap totally detach from the sole, on a river trip, this week. I was just walking in my cabin door when it came loose! Thankfully, I had packed an 'emergency' pair of sandals or the trip would've been ruined. These Tevas were only 2-3yrs. old & hardly worn. It seems the days of having beloved Tevas last for a decade are gone. Such a shame! I've been buying Tevas since they were a new company, with one model, in black only. Teva has lost this customer, until I see evidence that they have stopped making low quality, over-priced junk. I don't mind spending $100 on river sandals, but I expect them to last more than a few seasons. Thankfully, Zappos makes it easy to try new brands & I just ordered a pair of Ahnu sandals & I'm looking at others.
