This is really a glorified flip flop. Good for beach wear or walking around casually, but no support and feels flimsy. Def overpriced for what it is.

This pair is not as soft or warm. The previous sheep skin seemed softer and more durable.

They're cute but I put them on and immediately the hard plastic piece by the toes dug very hard into my little toe. I adjusted all the straps but the placement of that plastic is just off for me. They are true to size. I'm a 7.5, sometimes an 8 in running shoes, but the 8 looks a bit long.

Fit well, but I loved my old time Tevas from back in the day so much better. These make my feet hot and sweaty! They used to use a harder material on the footbed so it didn’t used to have this issue. Otherwise very comfortable and useful.

These were more comfortable than the new Tevas. But not as well cushioned as the originals. Plus the footbed size didn't fit my feet properly. I can wear them around the house but not that comfortable for outdoor walks.

My arch collapsed over the shoe, which was too narrow.

These are nice and light and I really wanted to keep them as I got them on sale. However, the toe strap rubbed my toes in the wrong place so I returned them.

I'm not sure if mine is defective, or if it's my foot, but the lateral aspect of the toe strap tends to rub uncomfortably when I wear it. I normally wear the tirras and absolutely love them, but wanted something a little more flexible to dress up and down, which is what this style does offer.

Bought these for paddle boarding. Love the style, very light weight, dont feel heavy after walking in the water. The ankle strap was a little loose even at its tightest.

The straps have short velcro for adjustment to accommodate wide feet leaving a good amount of exposed areas that may cause dirt, dust, or sand accumulating and sticking on it. The footbed is hard like no cushion at all especially on the ball of the feet area. For these reasons, I am returning them.
Other than that, this sandal has nice design and color, and Zappos has the lowest price.

I am 90 years old with neuropathy. These would be fine for someone younger who does not need foot support. But l love TEVA, and have 3 other pair, all over 12 years old, that l am wearing out. Storied these.

I don't like them as much as my old leather Teva sandals. But they're basically fairly comfortable. My main objection is that the heel often drags on the sidewalk. I don't know why.

This is my second pair of these shoes, the first pair I had for years, and I was disappointed that these started to fall apart within 1 month of purchasing.

I really wish Teva had 1/2 sizes. The sandal is fairly comfortable, but my toes are right at the front edge of the sandal. I have purchased the next bigger size in Teva previously, but in that pair the sandal sticks out from my toes almost an inch, and I trip over the excess sometimes. The 1/2 size would likely be perfect.
The straps are a little itchy, likely due to being made from recycled goods. The ring that holds the toe straps on one sandal tends to dig into my little toe while it is not an issue at all on the opposite sandal. The bumpiness of the footbed of the sandal becomes uncomfortable after walking around in them for a few hours.
Teva used to make the most comfortable sandals ever and they were much higher quality than the last couple of pairs I have gotten. I have a pair of Teva that are probably 20-30 years old that I've been nursing along because they are still my most comfortable pair. It's sad that Teva has gone from making great sandals to offering a larger number of styles that aren't nearly as well made.

Bought these for my husband. Arrived really fast! But they are very thin. Too thin for my taste.

I love the feel of the original Teva and the designs. Unfortunately, the bottom is already peeling off from the foam and I've only owned them for four months. Pretty disappointing I bought some about eight years ago that held up for a lot longer.

I wore these for two weeks on vacation and the sole is already splitting away from the sandal. These are for fashion only.

I really like the slimmer profile on these being a woman, and they are not advertised as a heavy duty sandal, but they seem a little flimsy for what I expected. Note that the heel strap is not adjustable like their other styles. If you have narrow heels like me they will slip often. Will upgrade to a tougher sandal when I wear these out.

The footbed is very hard and flat, and does not conform to my foot. Not very comfortable after walking on city pavement, resulting in leg pain that's lasted too long. I have an older pair of leather "dressier" Tevas that I can wear all day in great comfort. I thought these would be similar, but they aren't. They're fine for casual use, but not all-day wear. I'm ordering a different pair with thicker, molded bottoms.

These are great, sandals for walking around. I wish they were studier. The top flap gets caught on the ground often and wears away quickly. I like the style and more minimal foot bed of the original universal, but next time I'd go for the studier hurricane to last longer and in rougher environments (water, hiking, etc).

These are beautiful shoes. The foot bed is soft. The plastic fasteners for the straps are hard, and irritating. They hit the base of my toes and create a lot of friction.
I'm keeping them but will not wear them for extended periods.
