Great color but the sole is thin and doesn't feel sturdy like a traditional Teva. It's a downgrade if you are used to a traditional Teva

Pros: super lightweight, fun design, and they break in right away. Cons: I found the footbed surface to be pretty slippery when wet, the tread is super minimal, and the foam packs down pretty fast. A little on the big size, I would go 1/2 size down if I got another pair.

I'm not thrilled with these; they rub both the tops of my little toes and the inside of each of my feet. Very uncomfortable. Disappointing to say the least.

Have been wearing Tevas for more years than I can count. This is my 6th pair over the past 20 years or so. The only complaint I have is the lack of adjustable back strap. Not worth the return and will wear, but will not purchase this brand again.

Everyone raves about these sandals; however, no amount of adjusting the straps made these sandals work for my pinky toes. Not sure how to make the strap material a little less stiff. Wore them for two hours agonizing walking for those 2 hours

Feels light and not as stable, the sole is too soft and bends at the toe if you catch the front on a curb or lip. A stiffer laminate in the sole would improve the flex. Nice fit and comfortable straps with good color styling make it an eye catcher.

Cute and colorful. The bottom of the sandals are comfortable, but the straps feel pretty rough and uncomfortable against the skin after walking around in them. I would suggest the company change the fabric of the straps or lining the undersides with a softer material.

This was advertised to be similar to the original Tevas. I had a pair that lasted for many years, were comfortable and I thought I would be getting the same again but instead they are a different material, the footbed is prickly and overall cheaper construction.

Super cute shoes! I'm a size nine in womens so i ordered a mens size seven and they fit perfect. I had to deduct stars because the box came smashed.

They are cute, but get dirty quickly, and are hard to get looking clean again

The right sole delaminated from the toe to the ball of the foot after just a few weeks. The left shoe is fine so I'm hoping it was just bad luck. Otherwise I love them. Super cute and very comfortable. I haven't looked into a return policy yet. Hoping it's easy.

I've been using Teva sandals for almost a decade, and they've lasted me so long. I have the gradient blue and gold flatforms and both of them had firm soles, but this new one feels squishy, i sink into my sandals and it squeeks a bit when i walk. maybe it's still new, but it's just not as comfortable as my old ones. Love the strap and print though (the moon and stars), they do look really good on my light olive skin.

Please produce again your early leather sandals. They were somewhat dressier. Mine have worn out after about 15 years and I would like to replace them. I love your sandals as I have several pairs but would like to also have a leather replacement for my original pair.

Okay, but not near as comfortable as Hurricane Style.

I love the design of these sandals, but a few factors keep them from being real winners. 1.) The nylon straps cut into my skin. Even after miles of break-in, the straps are simply too rough. 2.) The sandals could use better traction. Their current sole prevents them from inspiring confidence in slippery conditions. 3.) The price is too high for what is basically some foam and nylon straps. Again, the design and concept of this product is fantastic. It just needs better materials and a more competitive price to make them stand out. Please note I will most likely purchase an upgraded Teva offering such as the Hurricane XLT2.

I like Teva for its durability & reasonable cost. I have a very narrow foot, however, so the straps hang off the sides of the sandals & touch the ground. Not ideal. I would love it if Teva made narrow sandals. I would buy them repeatedly.

I love the color of this sandal. They are also very comfortable. I am disappointed at the quality, the material at the top of the shoe (by the toe) is already ripping a bit after just several wears.

Everything changes over time oh, and maybe I just had too high of expectations oh, but they're not like my old teva's. These are more lightweight, the souls don't feel like they have the substance that my other pair had. But they fit fine, this trap seems sturdy enough, I'll just have to wait and see how the soles hold up

They don't appear to be made as well as they used to be. With only one strap for tightening it's hard to get a good fit for walking

I was looking for a hiking sandal. I thought this was like my old Tevas, sturdier. These are very comfortable, but are more for casual, maybe kayaking.

I bought these shoes in the Hypnosis Macaroon color thinking it was a beige/cream color like the picture shows. However it is definitely a dark tan/brown color. Not at all what the picture shows. Not sure if they will match many of my clothes because the brown is such an odd shade, but worth keeping I guess since there aren't any good cream options anymore. On the bright side, the comfort is great and it feels like you're walking on foam. They are very lightweight as well.

I am still wearing the original I bought 20+ years ago, and I was so excited to be able to buy this pair because it was advertised as the original being back. Nope. It is a sorry knock-off.
