The only thing I can say it wrong about the product is around the heel sometimes there is discomfort. Maybe a very lightly cushioned lining or even just a softer liner than the strap around the inner ankle would be nice.

Initially felt a little tight, but they’ve loosened up nicely after wearing a bit.

These are a great alternative to the other standard tevas for those who like the flip flop look but need a sandal to stay on (I plan to use them for white water rafting). The thing to note is that the ankle strap is incredibly small. I am not sure who has ankles that thin, but certainly not me. That being said, it is pretty easy if you are handy with thread and a needle to remove the velcro and move it to make the strap a more wearable size.

I so wanted to love these! They are so cute and cushy. However, I'm a pretty solid 8 and the 8 was too long. I ordered a 7 which was not bad in length but the ankle strap was too short. It's unfortunate there are no half sizes. 7.5 would've been perfect!

I had previously wore out two pairs of sandals from another company- I loved the way the felt on my feet and I could wear them for everything (dressy to casual to hiking). This company quit making the make of sandals that fit great. I tried on several different sandals and could not find anything to fit. I have a wide foot and it is really hard to find shoes to fit. Also, I need the right support, just not your regular flip flop or my feet will ache. I finally found Teva and their Original sandals! They are very comfort; they mold to my feet and give the needed support. Some other reviewers said they got blisters as they broke in the shoes; I can see this happening if you wore them while you walked all day, and if you didn't have them secure enough. I just wish the adjustable strap fastened on top of the foot instead of in the back as it's hard to reach. And I did order a size up to get the needed width. I ordered an size 8 and it barely would fasten around my foot and the side of my foot hung of the edge. I e-mailed and asked about sizing and they said to try a size up. I had no issues with exchanging and the size 9 is perfect. Much more room in the strap and width. I'll be ordering these again, just wish there were other colors as well!

I love the shoe but I wish it came in half sizes because I have fat feet. My feet are a little tight in them but I still love them and get compliments all the time.

I was very mad at myself for losing my Teva Originals, which were about two years old. I bought the same pair, same size to replace them. I was very disappointed to find that the fit has changed, and no longer works. The back straps that hold up the circular strap around your ankle are now shorter, and as a result, the strap around your ankle is strained and has to pull up from both sides. It's uncomfortable, and not how the last pair fit. I'll be returning them.

I didn't want to buy these, but I needed river/boat shoes and I figured these fit the bill. They were fine for what I used them for. Definitely not sporting them out to dinner, but they were great in the water. I have super flat feet, so most shoes fit me weird. These were great.

Amazing shoes! Durable, cute, and VERY comfortable. They're the only sandals that I have that don't leave my feet hurting after a long day of walking.
My only complaint is the plastic loop that the strap threads through on the back of the heel-- it is large and white and looks kind of tacky :(
Sizing wise: I wear an 8 in every other brand, but when I look back at purchasing these I think a 7 and a half would have looked a little less bulky on my feet.
Would have rated 5 stars if the loop for the buckle wasn't so gaudy.

Very comfortable and decently good arch support. Similar to what I read from past reviews, the straps do stretch out in water so I ordered a half size down from my normal size (9) to compare and they ended up being too small.

Great, for what they are - which is a light use water shoe. I needed something for a rafting trip in August and ordered a bunch of water shoes from Teva and Chaco. The Chacos felt much sturdier, but looked so clunky that I doubted I'd ever wear them beyond this 3 day trip (and they were twice the price of these) so I kept the Tevas, hoping they'd be stable enough for the hikes we'll be taking. But, having worn them this past weekend, I can decisively say they are not. My foot was slipping side-to-side climbing over rocks. These are exactly what they look like: flip-flops with an ankle strap that will keep them on in the water. They'll be fine for walking on flat surfaces or dirt trails, but not for activities that require any amount of climbing or support. They are comfortable and far more attractive than any of the durable hiking sandals.

I wear a size 8 in Teva's Olowahu flip flops. Because of the advice here, I ordered a 7 and an 8. The 7 was too small. The 8 fit well. I use these for canoeing and walking the dogs in the summer - they're more stable then regular flip flops, but still light weight. I like these much better than Chako sandals, but if you want a lot of arch support or want to go hiking in these, than these might not be the best choice. I love the pattern - really fun - and would order another pair.

Very comfortable! I wear a 6.5 across the board but after reading many reviews I ordered a 6 instead of sizing up to a 7- and so glad I did! Perfect fit, I recommend that to others to avoid extra toe space. Also cuter than expected, can imagine these hiking, running errands, etc. with shorts, leggings or jeans- so versatile. Would order again/recommend to a friend.

My daughter and I both wore these sandals during river crossings on our recent trip to the Smokey Mountains. I needed Band-aids where the plastic buckle rubbed my ankle and she needed them for part of her foot under the forefoot strap, BUT the shoes were still great. We wore them on trails too, not just river crossings. They are lighter than Chacos and half the price too.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Rainbow Sandals

Great to put on w/ a nice summer dress in a low key summer setting. Love the arch support built into the sole of the sandal.

My mom recommended these sandals for the issues I am having with my feet. ie: tendinitis, plantar fascistic, weak ankles. They are very good for ankle support. The bumps on the sole are somewhat bothersome, but less with time. I love the original black and white flip flop style I received. I get many compliments on them. The original sandal is nice, but the color wasn't as bright as depicted in the ad. That made me a little disappointed as I prefer a brighter sandal, but otherwise, they are also great support for my ankles as well.

My 16 year old daughter really likes them. She needed sandals to wear to lifeguard at the local water park in. She says they are comfortable yet have just enough style. Very lightweight!

These are my favorite shoes I've ever owned. They have been through 3 music festivals (2 electric daisy carnivals) I wear them hiking, to the beach, in the river, everywhere! The ONLY reason I gave 4/5 stars was because after 2 years, they are very worn and hurt my feet now. But such a great product that I'll be buying them again.
