I've bought a new pair or 2 of teva's sandals for women every year.
THis year I didn;t like the selection of color choices felt they were
unlike the past years. I like the mens styling colors on the Terra fi
and any rate
I ended up not buying any
keep with that Indian ,hippie groovey fabrics for the terra fi lites
that look good with a variety of clothes colors
The blue fabric one was ok with the pattern in it but I bought them last year and I can still wear them black was fine too and the orange red
But please the stripes too plain and shows the dirt . didnt like other choices at all 2016.
Back to the drawing board for you guys.
I want to see velcro strap fabric with interesting patterns and shapes that blend well and do the job of looking interesting like my life & my love the the outdoors .

This product looks more durable in picture than it is in reality. Could not hike or take a long walk in these shoes.

When I first put these sandals on,I thought they looked great. However for some reason the fit was off. My left foot kept sliding to the very top of the sandal, but they are not too small. I'm sorry I have kept them, as I should have returned them. The right foot pinches, but only after wearing for awhile. I went back to my Mephisto sandals.

Runs 1/2 size too small. I am a size 12 :(. and they were small on me. Not cool at all. The buckles really bothered me the second I put them on. Too much going on for me anyway. 1st time trying a pair of shoes like this out. Going on a cruise and hiking wanted cool water sandals. These are not it.

I like the look....but.... there is a grove (traction) at the ball of the foot that is real annoying. Sending them back. Wish the bed of the shoe was smooth like my other Teva's.

This style was offered to me when I tried to find the Pretty Rugged that I have worn for years. I have hard-to-fit feet, and I NEED a shoe that I can wear in non-sports situations. I do not follow fashion. I need solid black straps that coordinate with everything in my wardrobe, wearable for work. You had a successful product, and you are not offering something to replace it. I tried emailing you, but you don't seem to care about customer needs or satisfaction.

I needed comfortable sandals for walking, especially before a trip to Europe and was excited when I found these. I wore them a couple of times before leaving to break them in.
The first time I wore them on my trip, I had walked barely a block when my right sandal broke. The strap looked like it had barely been stitched. I was devastated and even tweeted Teva, with no response.
Luckily, I was told of a cobbler nearby who was able to fix it for less than 5 Euro - and it was clear he knew what he was doing. I am very lucky, but this makes me reluctant to purchase this brand again, especially with the lack of customer service.

This Terra Fi Lite is a poor example in the continuance of the original Terra Fi sandal. I have two pairs of the previous Terra Fi sandals and they are superior in arch support, general comfort and simplicity of design. In this new model, the foot bed is flatter and far less supportive. The thin, double straps over the top of the foot I assume are supposed to look prettier, but are just annoying because I have to make sure two straps are aligned on the velcro instead of just the one as was the old design. I see the Hurricane still appears to be the same. I guess I will try that. Teva should bring back the old Terra Fi model.

I am returning the product because the ankle strap is very low and makes me feel as though the sandals are going to fall off. It also was just not amazingly comfortable- if it was, I would've tried to bear the odd ankle strap feeling.

I'm pretty shocked to see that you haven't printed my review and only seem to print rather positive ones. I had previously submitted one during the past month but haven't checked to see if it was up until now.

The shoes made my feet have terrible reactions, as if the sandal material was poison oak! My guess is it's the built-in antimicrobial treatment. I tried them on in my apartment for a couple hours and they were comfortable, so decided to keep them and wore them outside all day. That night, red lines all along my feet where the fabric was, and terrible itching. Took 2 weeks for the blisters+itching+redness to go away. Washed them thoroughly with clothes detergent, rinsed, soaked overnight in clean water, then although I was kind of scared to, tried wearing them a week after my feet recovered, and same thing. Gave them to my sister whose feet didn't react, but don't think I'll ever buy Tevas again, or any shoes that are sold having that antimicrobial pre-treatment. Would have returned them, but since I had worn them outside before finding there was a problem, didn't even try.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstocks, Merrel, Keens, Nike (and if any Tevas are still sold without that antimicrobial treatment)

The Terra Fi sandals had long been my 'go-to' summer sandal....but then Teva messed with the design. The new version, Terra Fi Lite, is not even remotely like the sturdy workhorses the former Terra Fi sandals were. The fit is off; the formerly solid straps are now split into two pieces across the toe, making a shaky 'fit.' The strap that goes from the ankle to the toe, along the side of the foot, did not lie flat on the pair I had. And worse, the formerly fantastic arch support that I loved is now not much better than a flip flop. I don't know why Teva felt they had to change the design of the Terra Fi, but I hope they change it back..They were so well-made; they could stand up to anything, from hiking to a night out. The Terra design is good for office and date wear, but the Terra Fi ruled my summer closet.

Can someone explain why the company made such a big change from the previous Terra Fi style? At least add the "Lite" version in addition (instead of replacing) to the previous, more durable version of this sandal. I last bought a pair of Terra Fi sandals 3 years ago and got rid of them after last season, following a very busy summer in which I wore them A LOT. It was my incentive and motivation to treat myself to a new pair this year, before summer began. What a mistake. I just bought a pair of the "Lite" style today and am really thinking of returning them. I can already tell these will not last very long and are nowhere near as comfortable. Maybe Teva's management is thinking that to keep the price the same (but maintain profits), they needed to make a poorer constructed shoe? Please add a few more dollars to the sticker price and keep the previous, better quality. After over 15 years of solid Teva loyalty, I'm unfortunately looking at other brands to become my go-to sandals.

I miss the Terra Fi 3. The Terra Fi Lite did not fit well when I tried it recently. I will keep looking as the Terra Fis of the past were the most comfortable and best fit.

This is NOT the Terra Fi I have loved and lived in for years. These are not as rugged, much narrower and shorter. The toe straps are so short I can't even get them to hook. There is not as much arch support either. The first time I tried on a pair of Terra Fi 2s my feet just melted into them and had never been so happy. I wear them everyday, year around even in the snow. These new Terra Fi Lites just don't live up to that. I will be returning them asap. My feet are NOT happy and I am NOT amused.
