my go to shoe everyday all summer. wore in lakes, on hikes, to the store, anything. then the smell got so bad to the point of them being unwearable. 3 months is all i got out of this shoe. have tried absolutely everything recommended, even bought industrial deodorizers for camping equipment. love the shoe but so disappointed in this issue.

These were very uncomfortable, I don’t think they would have worked well in water either.

I wore my first pair of Tevas for over 25 years. Only problem was straps had to be reglued. New sandals are sized different and made of different materials. New sandals are unwearable because something in the straps chemically burns the top of my feet.

I love my old size 8 Teva sandals, but the new size 8's I ordered had to be returned because they were 1/2 smaller than my old ones.

I cannot recommend buying these shoes. I wore them on one hike and my toes were falling out of the front which made me constantly stub my toes. They have no support. If you are buying water shoes just to swim they are good, but for walking and swimming they do not work. I would rather spend the money on Chacos.

Was so excited to get these shoes with great reviews but when I opened them there are yellow stains on the straps. Disgusting and unpleasant, not even sure what it is. Clearly they have been worn or returned.

Soles started to tear after 2 wears and they’re so squeaky and loud. Teva won’t take them back. Don’t waste your money.

I had a pair that lasted 15 years. I was happy to come back. Now I am upset because 1. The footbed is no longer a rubber and is now foam. 2. I filed a complaint on a pair of Uggs and have never heard back.

Ordered a product from them and it promised a free keychain with purchase and they DID NOT send it! I called customer service and the women was absolutely rude and I help and at. They did not even send me an invoice either in my package. She said it was because they were trying to save paper but I order the smallest package and it came in the biggest box ever. So disappointing.

I'm disappointed and would either like my money back, or to get a replacement pair. I've been wearing Tevas for my whole life as a river rat kid in Montana, but this, my newest pair, was a let down! I left them to dry out in the sun, and the soles shrunk! When I bought them they fit like a lake girl's dream, and now my toes and heels hang off! What gives, Teva? I'm bummed.

It is under the title "Original Tevas." I owned tevas in the 90s. These were not original. He material is great but there is a built in arch support that doesn't fit everyone's foot and isn't noted in the description. I would rather them not have an arch support and be flat. Also they have a heel rather than being zero degrees. I was unable to wear them due to the fixed arch built in the Teva.

Nice shoe but the soles separate from the main shoe after only a few wearings. I purchased two different Teva type shoes and had the same issue. Company doesn't respond to this issue.

I'm a 71/2, I order an 8 because the 7 was far too small my foot couldn't even get into it. The 8 is giant. It's far too large on my foot and is dangerous to do any hiking in due to the improper fit. The plastic triangle rubs against your foot and is so uncomfortable also.

The side strap by the pinky toe dug into my foot and was not comfortable at all. It’s a shame, because otherwise I would’ve really liked these!

My first pair of Teva sandals were the sun & moon pattern and bought in the 90's. They have been everywhere with me. I keep going back to them because I can't find another pair as well made or comfortable. I have sent emails to Teva and BEGGED for the sun & moon pattern to be brought back. I have also begged for the classic flip flop to be made with classic patterns and solid primary colors---which I will buy in every pattern and color if you will just make them!! I was SO EXCITED when these came out and I was SO SAD when I got these and they did not fit!! The toe strap is so far back on the foot that my feet look like boats and my toes look like snakes!! These need a serious re-design!!

When I started to wear the Original, the back strap was adjustable. Now it is not, had to take the last pair I bought to have the back strap made adjustable. Love these, live in them all summer here in NJ, but will not purchase because of that.

I have always been a fan of teva's wore them for many years. They have done this thing so commonly known to us today . Downgraded the quality they cut into my feet cheap quality everything sucks ruined everything about teva's. Uncomfortable I can't wear them 2 days in a row without wounds. Razor sharp cheap nylon straps. Not the company they used to be sorry for them
