Customer Reviews Teva Verra

I have worn the Teva Tirra sandal for a couple summers now, and they are the most comfortable sandals I own. Instead of getting another pair (The Tirra's are still going strong!), I thought I would try the Verra out for a slightly different look. They have the same footbed, and are just as comfortable. However, the strapping system is made such that it works better for a narrower foot than one that borders on wide. I have a medium-width foot so the strapping over the toes is perfect, but because of the high arch in my foot, I need a long strap for around my ankle. The Velcro does meet across the ankle on the Verra, but it doesn't overlap nearly as much as it does on the Tirra, so they don't feel quite as securely fastened. Also a lot of Velcro was left exposed (& therefore not used) so that things could catch on it. I fixed this by removing the Velcro from the strap and sewing it back down over an inch. Now they are perfect, but I know most people wouldn't have the means to do this. (I sew a lot.) If you are in doubt about the width being wide enough, I would try the Tirra instead. One other thing to consider is that depending on the width of your foot, the "Teva" logo on the ankle strap can land in an odd location. For me, it lands dead center on my foot so it looks fine. The Tirra doesn't have the logo on the ankle strap, which works much better. I should note that I have a bunion on one foot, and was most pleased that the straps go totally around it, so it's very, very comfortable. I periodically deal with a mild case of plantar fasciitis, and the footbed of these sandals has enough arch support to keep that at bay.

I literally live in Teva original or hurricane style sandles year round as I live in Florida. I saw my cousin in this style, which I think is much more stylish and attractive so I literally ordered them on the spot. Can't say enough about the efficiency of delivery and I was wearing these the next day. They are cute, but definately no match for the original or hurricane models for comfort, support. But they are still better than most other brand shoes I have worn.

The foot bed is very comfy and cushy, there's no need to break them in. The placement of the toe straps is a little odd but not enough for me to return them. The sizing is way off - I wear a size 8 in shoes, a 7.5 or 8 in sandals and I had to get a 7 in these.

I fell in love with this shoe the minute I opened the box, great color for me and flattering once I put them on. However, they're going back. I tried them daily for two weeks and here's what didn't work: -little toe was painful (you can manually widen the strap, which helped) -soles of Tevas are just too hard for my comfort - the back strap was at an angle that bothered me I'm going back to Merrells. Note about scratchy straps: I have fixed these before by dipping them in a 50-50 mix of water and fabric softener.

These are great sandals. They have a slimmer profile than many sports sandals, so I don't feel like I have tires strapped to my feet. Nice support and cushion for long walks. The straps are easy to adjust. I felt a couple places on the top and sides where the straps were rubbing a little (no rubbing on the back of the heel, which is great), but that seemed to go away on subsequent wearings, and I never got a blister from them. I normally wear 8.5-9, and I'm happy with the 9 for these.

These seemed to be perfect walking sandals, and the most like my beloved (and old) former Teva's, but I am returning this pair because of the footbed. I didn't realize what a difference it made to have a micro-fiber/leather-like finish to help cool the foot. These made my feet perspire within minutes of having them on in the house. These are probably better used as water sandals than walking sandals. Also, I got a size 5.5 instead of 6 because the size 6 seemed too long.

I walk a lot and have slightly wide, blister-prone feet. I tried on many pairs of sandals, and these fit the best without looking too bulky. The foot bed provides good cushion and arch support, and I don't get any blisters with them. My only complaint is that they're not the most durable. The front of mine started looking beat up after a few months; however, the rest of the sandal is still in good condition. I usually wear a 9.5 in these, and found that a 9.5 did fit me the best. Overall, very comfortable sandal and doesn't look as ugly as many other outdoor-style sandals.

The ankle strap hits too high on my foot. With any swelling, it would become too tight. I liked that these were more dainty than most of this type sandal.

The footbed/sole is very comfortable and the shoe itself is cute. I am a size 8 in pretty much every shoe, but this shoe runs a half size big. So, an 8 is too big and a 7 is too small. Very sad.
