Customer Reviews Teva Terra Fi 5 Sport

These are really comfortable! Love the strapping-system on this new version! I do have the Teva Terra Fi 4 and I like'em but I've always been kinda bothered by the "bulkiness" (especially in appearance) of the straps. The straps on these, although there is "more" of'em, are much less bulky and are a nice soft nylon. I will warn you, however, that the straps might be a bit on the "short" side, as far as accommodating a "meatier", high-volume foot. They work very well for mine, being thin, low-volume. This is a rare find for me, as I almost always find straps on sandals in general (of any brand or style) to be too long (so won't tighten down enough) for my bony feet. My feet are 9.5 and C/D width and the size 9 in these fit in length and width perfectly.

I agree with another reviewer that if you have "bulkier" or higher profile feet, these may not work for you. I have thin, small, lower profile feet and these fit amazing for me without having to cinch the straps so tight they drag. Keep this in mind if you are purchasing. I am a normal size 8 and they fit perfect. They are a bit bulky, but not horribly so. I bought them for hiking which is what they are really made for anyway. The straps keep your feet very snug and in place.

I wanted to like these, as they seemed like the perfect shoe, if I could just get them on. The straps are incredibly hard to adjust. I have hallux rigidus, so putting my foot into a shoe HAS to be easy. I can't bend at the ball joint and press down. So in the end, I couldn't get my foot into the shoe, not because the shoe was the wrong size, but because the strapping was so hard to use that I couldn't get my foot into them without pressing down on the ball joint. Straps are not easy to work with AT ALL.

I could not engineer the straps so that they elongated to go over the top of my foot *and* to line up with the velcro fastener at the end. Straps are just plain too short for the high arched foot and provide no arch support.

These sandals are horrible ! I spent to much on them for my trip to Maui they r beautiful shoes however it is one continues strap and so when you take them on and off they have to be reset to fit each time. To top it off there r plastic pieces under toe strap on sides and gave me blisters, to tight and small with some wierd bump in the back to shove your toes into the front to add to the blister ruined my walks in Maui and had no sandles for walking after 2 days .

This pair of Teva Terra Fl 5 Sport is defective. The closing strap is not long enough to even close. The strap is far too short to wear.

This is a very sturdy, comfortable, well made sandal. I purchased these to wear walking our dog, hiking but also to wear with a casual skirt for work. Unfortunately, it is was just too wide and bulky for my taste.

Very nice looking and comfortable but I had the same problem with straps; not long enough to adjust. One of the plastic loops pressed hard on my foot just walking in the house. So disappointed, back they go.

These have an awesome footbed, great arch support but all of those straps make these walking sandals a pain to get into! Going back...

They fit like a dream great arch support and super comfortable for long walks. Easily adjustable on all areas of the feet. Great sandal!

These secured my feet well but the base was rather clunky. Returned these in hopes of finding something lighter.

This Teva is such a great style, with wonderful support features. I tried it on 3 different times in the house, thinking I would keep it, but they just weren't as comfy as the Keen Newport. Also, the strap system is a bit annoying to get into each time. They should have more length to play with, as others have said. The width was fine, tho, for my wider forefoot.

I really wanted to love these. I really like the style, but like others have commented, the straps are just too short. As you can see from my photos, the straps don’t fully cover the black Velcro area. These are super comfortable and cushiony, but because the straps have no give, the shoe is tight and narrow. Haven’t decided if I’m going to return or not. But beware of short straps and tight fit. I think if you have a narrow/slim foot, they may fit perfectly. I’m regular in shoe width, I don’t wear narrow or wide shoes. I hope that makes sense.

I have to agree with the other reviewers that the strap is just not big/long enough. I don't believe I have overly large feet but I had to widen the foot strap to the point that the velcro could just close. You have to be careful when tightening the strap with the one plastic loop that sits mid-foot - I pinched/pulled skin at this spot several times. The foot bed was super comfy. Sizing was true. Overall look of the shoe on made my foot look overly wide. May not be an issue with a smaller foot but with a 9.5-10 shoe, you are aware of these things. :-) What happened to the Teva brand that used to provide padding at the connections/buckles and super adjustable shoes?

The toe supports rubbed.

These are somewhat clunky. Stiff straps that are difficult to work with.
