This look rich on feet. The buckle is very awkward to snap. I have psoriatic arthritis and some days it is difficult to work the buckle. No more bags.

I love these shoes because after getting a pedicure, I can put them on without marring the polish.
I have a pair that is ages old and had the nubby sole. I do not like the smooth sole.

These are really cute and kind of have that yoga mat feel… but they have zero support.

I had to send mine back as they just were not as comfortable as my other Teva's

Ordered new Tevas online after nearly 7 years of using my previous Originals and I was extremely disappointed with how thin and cheap the straps felt and how long and over-sized they are (comparably an extra inch of strap when securely supporting my ankle) - like a toddler in their parents shoes. I did not order the wrong size and can understand differences of wear, but I don't even trust as a brand new shoe that I could take these out to the pool that I would feel safe or comfortable. So. Sad. I might just wear my old ones until I find something more trustworthy for a true fit.

Although these were advertised as the original, they are definitely NOT! I purchased them to replace the original and was disappointed that the footbed is completely different. I will keep them but I don't think they will get the same use as my old pair.

I've been having Teva sandals and enjoyed them very much. However, this one was a surprise for me because the stripes were a little bit too hard for my feet. It hurts as new pair. Unfortunately I had to return them. Waiting for the color of Hurrrcane XLT2 becomes available to get. Over all, love Teva.

Only wore a handful of times before the bottom sole started coming apart. My wife's didn't do this so most likely a manufacturer defect.

I really like these, but it seems like the bottom separates from the top , around the toe area :/

I love the way they look, the way they fit, and the cushy material used for the sole. The problems I have with these Teva's specifically, is that these get wet and smell really really awful. I've never had smelly feet or shoes, but these, I can smell them while standing in them. Also, the texture on the sole is nice at first, grippy, but after a couple hours of my feet are dry, they begin to rub and almost hurt.
For context, I have owned a different pair of Tevas for about 4 years and I love them. And I work at a kayak rental shop and wear sandals on the job

I wish they came in half sizes. The 10 is a bit too big. The straps are stiff and rub on the sides of my feet but I think that will correct itself after I wear them for awhile. Overall, I am good with the purchase.

So I love my Teva's so much. That being said. I'm super disappointed because the sole is detaching from the shoe in multiple places. I've had to super glue it back so I can continue to wear them.

They are cute and will be good around wet environments but are stiff and not very comfortable.

The sandal requires some breaking in. It is obviously the bottom of Teva's line. That being the case, it is way overpriced.

I love Teva, but this shoe is not the best they have. When I have the choice between this one or my Hurricanes, I go for the hurricanes. The shoe is super cute, but the lack of support in the sole to my high arches leaves my feet hurting at the end of the day.

I bought these mostly to wear swimming in the Adriatic Sea where it is very rocky and there are sea urchins that you can step on. They sort of work for that purpose but they have started rubbing on my toes and I'm getting some tiny blisters. They add a bit of buoyancy and make your feet more like flippers than if you were not wearing shoes at all. I think they work better when your feet are dry... for walking around in the hot weather. But they are quite ugly, so it's not ideal. I am usually a 6-1/2 and I ordered the size 6 because it was all that was left in stock, they fit fine.

there was an extended amout of sole past my toes. Worried about tripping. Also not enough arch support or adjustment for me. I adore my strappy adjustable everywhere Teva sandals. I can't find them anywhere so far. I'll keep looking
I'd also recommend:
I am keeping the Keen sandals and the Teva Gateway with my arch supports work fine.

they're like glorified flip flops. I am disappointed they're not more comfortable for walking. I like that they're adjustable and have a back on them.

I have had the same tevas for years now and I finally had to upgrade as my old ones were falling apart. I wanted to love these. I was so excited, they are so cute. However, my heel falls off the back of these sandals no matter how I adjust the other straps. I thought it might be a size issue so I sized up and it's still a problem. There is too much space at the end of my toes while my heel hangs off. I hope teva adds more length to the back of the sandal or allows for an adjustable strap in this style.
