Customer Reviews Teva Kids Manatee (Little Kid/Big Kid)

My son had a pair of these last year and we replaced them this year. He had to break this pair in a little more but it only took 2 times wearing and he’s happy with them!

Great look & sturdy design which I expect will hold up well through summer & camps. They do seem to run a bit large, so suggest sizing down if you're a half size.

These look like a great shoe to river raft and visit Jamaicas Blue Hole. They seem to be a 1/2 to full size larger than my sons Keens, Nikes, and Addidas shoes. I ordered the size smaller and the fit is so much better for him.

My son wears a 1 athletic shoe but we needed a 13 in this sandal... it seemed to run a bit big width and length.

My boys are extremely picky with sneakers- and they love these! They have a wide toe and feel roomy inside but the show itself stays on perfectly. In our case, very true to size. For reference to fit and comfort other brands they wear daily are Vans and Plae

my son has a wider foot and loves these. wears them all the time. buying them again in a second color.

My kiddo wears them almost everyday, weather allowing. Loves them!

Great shoe for my son for the playground, school and sports camp!

Great shoes for the summer! Protects my boys toes, is easy to put on, practical and comfortable. Very durable and easy to wash off the dirty. Dry very fast.

Returned--very stiff. Likely they are sturdy and would loosen up, but not a good option for my child

Very cute shoe, and they seem to be made well. I especially like that they do not have a high heel like Keens do. I think these would benefit from having an adjustable strap at the ankle, but even as they are they don't seem too hard to get on and off. That said, I returned these because even though this size is the correct length and width, the arch hits me in the wrong spot and so does the little bump that is supposed to go between the toes and the ball of the foot. I think sizing down probably won't fix the problem because then the shoe will just be too small overall. I may try the smaller size just to see if it works. But I am returning these.

These were HUGE! I'm going to return and size down. They only come in whole sizes which is tricky but there's no way my son can wear the larger size; he'd fall all over the place.

Great quality for the price, the only downside is it's a pull string instead of a Velcro pull over to secure shoe.

These fit great and are a good camp option because they're opened so he could get them wet but the toes are covered so he could also play sports. The are still in really good shape after wearing everyday for over a summer.

These sandals ran one full size larger for our son

My son wanted to like these as he liked the look of them, (and I liked the color scheme), but they were wide compared to the Keens or the Merrils - so they were uncomfortably loose on his feet.

Construction and style look good. Unfortunately, have to return as medium width sandal fit as a too wide for our eight year old. Length seems right, so we'll likely go with another brand/model. Perhaps a sandal with separate straps behind and across foot.

These are very wide. My kid has high arches and so I thought a wider sandal would be good for him, but they are just too loose. Also, the bungee lace is quite long and seems like a pain for a kid to have to pull closed every time to make the shoe tighter. It would be like pulling the individual loops on regularly laced shoes tighter, from the bottom to the top. I don't see my kid doing that when he's on his way out the door.

Son liked the feel and the look of the shoes, but run very big. He wears a 6 1/2 in sneakers with a little room, but the sandals in a 6 were huge on him. Ordering a 5 to see how those fit.

We really wanted to like these shoes, as my son has had other Teva's and really liked their look and comfort. Sadly, these were entirely too big in the size that he would normally wear. His heel slid out too easily for what he needed to wear them for (creek stomping). They were also too wide. Since they were also too wide, we decided to return and not take a chance on a smaller size.
