I have another 3 year old pair that feel better, perhaps due to wear. The left front of the shoe seems a bit longer and I've tripped because of that on more than one occasion. Light and comfortable otherwise.

The backstrap slips down. I noticed this on the last pair I ordered also.

Not very comfy and conforming to foot but still good for paddleboarding/water sports. I'd struggle to hike in these.

I don't think these are actually a replica of the original river sandal, which I purchased many, many years ago. I purchased that sandal and appreciated its arch support. This newer version seems to have no arch support whatsoever with a very flat footbed. In addition, I've noticed among sandals and shoes in general that, as they get wider and wider and expect the straps or ties to make it fit for a narrow foot, even if they have "arch support", the shoe is too wide to provide me with any significant support. Hate that. Other than that, the sandal is fine - always liked Teva - but not sure if I would purchase again because I need a flexible arch support.

Wore these for an AZ trip. After a week I felt something odd and the rear sole on both pairs were not glued. I assume this was a fluke since I've had good luck before. Hopefully the quality isn't going down. I just super glued them and trucked on. Still comfortable.

They are ok and I'm still going to wear them. The strap lays in a place that rubs on my little toes, and overall the sandal is not as supportive as other Tevas I've gotten. I'm disappointed because they were my go-to sandal brand.

I do not believe it is a "great" product. Selling only full but no half sizes for this product results in having to buy something that is too large and uncomfortable to wear. I have wanted to buy these sandals for a long time but the expense deterred me. Having purchased this product that is not only uncomfortable to wear but a financial mistake is very upsetting.

It's comfortable but I feel like there is too much sole extending beyond the toes. Feels very clunky. If I had had time before a special event, I would have sent them back.

I use them for walking and going into parts of the river where the bottom is rocky on my feet. I'm Enjoying them but they're a little less substantial than expected for the price point. I know Teva makes a pair that is more like a Chaco but I was going for the lighter pair intentionally so I can throw them in my pack. just a bit worries that they're flimsy/won't last. Appreciate the variety of color/pattern options, I got sand dune and enjoying.

I've worn Tevas for years. I wear a 7.5 in nearly every shoe, but these are more like a 8. Maybe they'll wear down after I've warn them, but they catch on carpet.

These sandals fit well but they are about as basic as them come. They don't provide much in the way of comfort as the sole flat and the straps are rough. I expected that when I ordered them.

I wear my Tevas every day when it gets warm enough. My poor old ones are so slick on the bottom - so I opted for these. I prefer the leather sole. Anyhow - the left fits perfectly but the right heel strap was sewn too low and won't stay on the heel. I contacted Teva and they are going to exchange it for me.

Comfortable sole but too big. I'm a size 8 1/2 to a 9. The nine was too big with the plastic rubbing against the bottom of my pinky toe. I also tripped two times because there was so much extra sole at the top of the shoe. I've worn Tevas for over twenty years but not this model before. I will order the size 8 instead.

I had a beautiful, red suede, cork bed pair of Tevas I tried to replace them this year without success. I purchased a pair recently which are more sporty. Why are the straps so long? They are going to fray because they drag on the ground. I am also having leg cramps. These are not nearly as supportive as my former pair. The quality just isn't there this time

I've had my Tevas for a few weeks and worn them on a few outings. I have a blister on the side of my foot where the strap dug into my skin. It hurts but I am hoping this is a normal part of breaking them in. I wore them on a waterfall hike and it was great to go from trail to water.

I love Teva's BUT this latest pair has started to unravel on the design parts of the sandal - after one use. The threads just completely unraveled to the point I had to cut them off. Just do not seem to be as sturdy as I remember. Probably will not purchase again and will need to replace with another product soon as I go camping and other outdoor activities where a sandal like Teva is needed.

While I have had and liked Teva sandals in the past, I tound the sole of these very uncomfortable and have returned them. As all models seem to have similar surfaces, I will not buy teva products in the future.

I only wear them when I'm going into water, swimming or paddling, because I get blisters if I wear them walking. What is everyone's secret?! I hoped my feet would callous up but they never did. Great aquasocks tho!

I was so excited to find these BUT should have seen this word "metallic" in the description. The various strap colors were exactly as shown and very cool. However, the sheen on the straps material was just wrong, to me at least. Sadly, I returned them. If you like a little sparkle, these are for you but my taste is not glittery.

So disappointed. I ended up having to wear these and give my daughter my shoes, which were the original TEVA that I like a lot better.

Just bought these for wearing out during the summer, probably should've bought just a sling as it takes too long to put on and adjust. Also not as cushioned as I thought.

I got these and the hurricanes and the hurricanes are much more comfortable. The straps on these are scratchy! Also VERY squeaky when walking on flat smooth surface
