I was too excited about this one. So cute! I have a pair of Hurricane Drifts and they fit my wide feet well. So I was sad to see that the Original Dorado is not the same fit. My wide feet were smashed together while popping out at every opening. So sad, I know I wont be able to walk for any duration in these. Completely different foot science from the Hurricane drifts. I am kind of disappointed in Teva. I think I am going to still try to order them in a men's size because they are the only ones allowed to have wide feet. Wish me luck!

Poor SupportGreat Support
Cute sandal but no arch at all and kinda flimsy sole. I had to return because I need a shoe that is solid and has support.

The straps are very tight. Sadly the super cute gladiator straps squeeze my feet to death, even with the extra elastic give. The length of the shoe is a little big, but the straps are super snug. I wish there was a wide size option.

These are my first Tevas! I have Chacos and wanted a different type of style.
Durability:
These are my first Tevas so I did not know what to expect durability wise of the bottom of the shoe, it seems normal, obviously not as thick or durable as Chacos. The fabric and buckle are very durable and adjust to size which I had to do.
Fit:
I wear an 8-8.5 Birkenstock
I wear 8 Chacos so I ordered an 8
I measured my foot length suggested by the sizing chart and it was 10 inches. Overall the fit is good, 7 I would probably not fit lengthwise. With the shoe on and standing flat there is about 5/6 inch of space between my toes and in the front of the shoe. On the heel, there is not much room but your heel is not falling off about (1/4 inch or less of space). The width is perfect, I have pretty slender feet.
Width of shoe
where toes go/front: 4 inches
archway: 3 inches:
heel: 3 inches
As for half-sized feet, I am not completely sure what size you get, if you are an 8.5 and deciding on a 9 or 8 I guess remember the 5/6 inch that will probably be in front of your toe like mine. I would measure the length of your foot via the foot sizing method provided then measure 5/6 from the top and put a second mark that is where your toe will be. Then add a half-inch and see what you are comfortable with. I would read other reviews from other Teva shoes and see what people say about half sizing.
Color: True to color, I got the patterned:)
Last notes: One thing I did notice was that they do not make your feet "feel large" even though your toes are fully exposed, which I liked.

I tried out five different shoes fit to take to a trip to Mexico and use as an everyday summer shoe in the hot, dry desert when I got back. These were the winner and they didn't disappoint. They're cute and comfortable. One day I logged 20,000 steps going in and out of the water with no pain or soreness. I used them to hike around in the slippery caves and wore them swimming a dozen times. The water made the shoes squeak, so don't expect to sneak up on anyone, ha! But they dried quickly and never rubbed my feet raw from beach sand or water or anything. The next time I go to a theme park, I'm packing these. I have medium arches and usually wear a size 9. I bought an 8 and they're golden!

I love the style, but the fit it weird. My 9 was a little long, but the straps were way too tight. I wish there were a wide option.

I was worried they wouldn't fit right because of all the straps and my wide feet, but they're perfect. The straps are attached by a sort of elastic band so they fit to your feet just right. They're even more comfortable than my original Tevas!

I have not taken these off my feet. Everywhere I go I get complements. I wear these to dinner and to the lake. I even rode my mountain bike with these beauties on! I love them!!

I've worn these a couple times and they feel soooo good to walk around in (much more comfortable than my Chacos for just walking around) but my feet do hurt after wearing them all day, the top where the straps are rubbing against my feet

I knew I was taking a chance because the 3 straps across the front didnt have velcro adjustments. Im going to take them to a shoe shop and have them made smaller. Shoes are so hard for me to find a good fit. Tevas are my favorite shoe hands down. That is why Ill keep them and pay more for.

Highly do not recommend Dorado.
It's ill fitting, poorly manufactured with strap placement on both sides (left and right) skewed, hence, visually not pleasing on feet.

I ordered my usual size 10 and the straps were way too tight across my arch, and they aren't adjustable. I don't have wide feet (they're quite narrow in fact). Too bad because they're a cute style!

This is my first pair of Tevas and they are one of my new favorites shoes. They're extremely comfortable for long periods of walking and perfect for the summer time. They fit perfectly. I plan on buying more this summer!

These shoes are perfect. Bought for a trip where I needed carry on only. Light weight comfortable. Walked nearly 10 miles per day 3 days in a row. No problems. Ordered 1/2 size up.

Had to return first pair as it was a full size larger than marked. I wear a 7 1/2 and had to order a 6. It was also marked as white, but "birch" turned out to be gray. Otherwise great shoes and great fun to find them in July!!
