Great looking and easy to make narrow for my foot. Not very comfortable yet. Hits my little toe, so I think it needs to be broken in. I've always had ate a and wore them out.

Thought this would be fine but isn't. My previous wedge sandles are fantastic and hit every high note; all I wanted to do was buy another pair. But no, Teva messed with success. Like what Toyota did with RAV4; used to be cute and noticeable, but now is common.

I had to return these, because the 10 was too big (tripping over the excess toe material) and the 9 was too small. They only come in full sizes. I am usually a true size 10, even in other Teva sandals.

I have been wearing and loving Tevas for decades The new quality does not seem to be what it used to be. The sole extends too far beyond the toe strap, causing me to trip on occasion. I wish "Pretty Rugged" was still available.

I have an older make of Tevas that I love! I still have them but wanted another, brighter color. To my disappointment the sole was not as hard as my other pair. It's more flexible and cushioned, which feels nice but I'm terrified to take them on my adventures in worry they wont quite hold up. I was also disappointed the strap behind the heel of my food does not adjust. They are cute, and comfortable, but not sure of durability.

I really wanted these shoes to work—loved the style & colors! But straps cut across my bunions, no matter what I tried. So they were sent back

These are very comfy and have great support, but I gave the style 1 star because my toes felt too exposed. I came to the conclusion that I prefer strappy sandals with more coverage and these just didn't feel like "me." Still think they look stylish on other people though!

I can't decide if am returning these or not. The footbed is pebbled texture which is not the most pleasant feel on the bottom of one's foot. And for some reason I can not get the right shoe to sit properly near the front of the shoe where the strap is by the toes. The left one feels fine but the right one, just feels off and I am not able yet to adjust to feel comfortable. I love the look of material, I got the Sun and Moon Insignia Blue ones.
Also the back of the shoe is not adjustable, it looks like it is but is not. The only adjustable straps are the ones across the top of the foot and by the ankle. I have only worn the around the house with constantly trying to adjust the right shoe. I may give it a few days before deciding if returning or not.

As a first time buyer, I was so excited for my Tevas to arrive! I rarely buy new shoes at this price point for myself, so this was a big deal. Unfortunately the sandals arrived with yellow stains all over them. HUGE letdown. It took two customer service phone calls to arrange an exchange, and while I appreciate their efforts, I really wish the product had arrived in new condition. Definitely a bummer as a new customer.

Although these sandals are incredibly comfortable, they run long and would probably fit a wider foot better. With a size 9 foot, I don't need anything that makes them look larger than they are, but I found the foot bed incredibly comfortable. I wish they came in a narrow width.

I wanted to love these, but they were stained from the packaging. So I did not try these on.

I did not love these tevas so I ended up sending them back. The black straps felt very stiff and dug into my feet. I do think they run a little on the larger side as well. The bottom of the shoe is basically like a thicker flip flop however they were very soft to walk on.

I bought a size 11 even though I was told by customer service to buy a 10. But according to the sizing chart I was a 11 to 12. So I don't get how they say to size down when my 11s were too small. My toes were almost off the end. So I am returning and getting a 12. I hope that size fits better.

Love these for their durability and comfort. You can wear them hiking, kayaking, swimming, etc. Unfortunately, if you have short toes, they are probably going to be too long for you, and will make you trip! The 7 was slightly too small but the 8 was way too long (and they don't come in half sizes). On the other hand, my step-daughter, who has long toes, loves these and they fit her perfectly.
If you love Teva's but you need less length or more arch support, I recommend the Teva Verra. Totally worth the extra 20 bucks.

I usually wear an 8.5 and based off of the reviews I ordered a 9. There was quite a bit of room at the end of my toes. I'm returning them because there is no arch support for my high arches and the sole, although soft, feels quite flimsy.

This was my third pair of Tevas and I am so disappointed. The footbed is pebbly and very uncomfortable. My other Tevas have a smooth footbed. If I planned to wear them with socks, they would be OK but who wears summer sandals with socks? They sadly will have to be returned.

I have an old pair of Tevas with exactly the same pattern, but the footbed is smooth whereas these ones are bumpy. Because of this I find them to be very uncomfortable. Don't know why they didn't keep the same smooth footbed. Unfortunately, I'll be returning these.

I actually liked the same shoe in men’s better. I normally wear a Women’s 8 but ended up keeping the Men’s 7. The men’s version has a bit more surface area and more importantly doesn’t squish my little toe.

Bought these for my daughter as she asked for them for Christmas. I happen to think they are ugly and too expensive for a simple sandal $50, really. You are paying for the name. She seems to think they are comfortable and nice.

This is a review for those whose souls need a bit more support. I'm giving this great sandal a three only because my feet need a stronger support now than 50 years ago. I bought them out of nostalgia. I am sticking to my Teva Universal's with more stiffness in the soul. This original is too soft for me now and has more of a heel than I can enjoy.

Really wanted to keep this. Truly need a 7.5 size. Does not really fit in an 8, and 7 is too small. Too wide also. Toe area is far too wide for narrow feet. Also need an adjustable heel strap. Foot kept slipping back so when I walked my heel was hitting the back edge of the shoe - not comfortable. Please make half sizes, make a narrow, and add adjustable heel strap like you make in other Teva models.

I bought the sandals thinking they'd be good arch support shoes for me to wear on campus, but because the bottom is so rubbery/plasticy, they're uncomfortable and make my feet sweaty really fast. Then I have to squeak around campus and to all my classes. I had hoped these would be comparable to chacos (which I don't have a pair of), but I think the bottom of those are very different and I wish I had gone for a more fabric bottom instead of this.
