Customer Reviews Teva Riva RP

Just about perfect for what I was looking for. Very adequate for trail wear when a full hiking boot is not required but also transitions well to casual settings when you don't want to look like a mountain man. Good fit, I ordered a half size up from my US dress shoe size (Johnston and Murphy). I have had several pairs of Teva sandals and have always been pleased with the comfort and wear. I expect these trail shoes will be no different.

Like other reviews have said, the top of the shoe rubs on the top of your foot. I have pretty skinny feet, so it wasn't too bad, but it was noticeable depending on how I was walking. After breaking them in for a couple days, I hiked Mt Humphries in northern Arizona in them. They did good mostly, the top of the shoe not bothering me most of the time. In fact, I really appreciate how wide the toe box was, very comfortable for the toes. They did look a little like clown shoes, but they were comfortable for my toes. That's about the best I have to say about them. It wasn't until on the way down that I started to notice them starting to rub on the back of my heel a little bit. And I had thick socks on too, so that wasn't the issue. It didn't seem to matter how tight I got the laces, they wouldn't stay tight, and so the shoe moved just a little bit, just enough to rub my heel. I was interested in this shoe because their sandals are awesome and I thought their shoes would be too, but I think they should either redesign this, or just stick with making sandals.

I had trouble getting the right fit but did finally get a size that fit. I wore the shoes on a couple of short walks, probably less than 10 miles total, and the shoes continue to hurt my feet. I think just not enough insole padding for me. I spent o much money on a shoe I will end up not using. Bummer. The most annoying thing is I can't unsubscribe from their junk mail!

I use them for work I work at Home Depot I'm a cashier so I'm on my feet all day long.

I have been a Teva wearer for many years. I love the quality of their shoes. It's unfortunate that they keep changing their styles as past styles are still much better than the current offering. The other issue I have is that they are extremely overpriced. It's a good quality shoe but they've gotten greedy.

I used shoes to walk 6 miles each day. One foot/heel sore after each walk. Needs slightly more arch support like the Teva open and closed toe sandals I have used for several years. Not what I was hoping for.

Read an existing review prior to buying concerning the shoelaces and thought reviewer was "nit-picking". Reviewer was right. Worst design; shoelaces do not stay tied. Would double knot but shoelaces are way too short. This actually presents a safety issue. Teva should have a recall of these or at the very least issue new, appropriate shoelaces to everyone who purchased the shoes. Did anyone at Teva actually wear these shoes? Did Teva get stuck with, or get a discount for short shoelaces? It's a shame because I find the shoes comfortable and functional.

Loved my Teva Ridgeview shoes, but the sole wore out, so I purchased the Riva thinking these shoes would be more durable. The Riva are more durable but they are also too stiff and really uncomfortable. The shoe laces also will not stay tied.

They're not as well made as the last two pairs of Riva's I've had. They are also very uncomfortable to wear, too tight at the top eyelets and they dig into my feet when I tighten the laces.

The shoe basically works for me. I walk primarily on bike trails, but also dirt trails, about 7 miles per day. The inside part of the upper heel, wears out very quickly. Teva has definitely not conquered this problem, as I have had it with all of the other, similar, Teva shoes that I have owned.

I really, really wanted to like these shoes. They look great and are clearly well made. I love the large toe box because in the past I've found that my middle toe rubs against the end of the shoe even when the size is correct and the fit is otherwise good. I thought that after wearing them a couple times that I would break them in and they would become more comfortable. This never happened. They just felt stiff and left my feet sore. So they're going back to LL Bean.

These hikers are supposed to be waterproof. I bought a pair this spring and by August, walking through wet grass, my feet and socks are soaked. The toe of one is delaminating and, as one or more reviewers noted, the laces fall off the tongue because the tongue is not long enough. Also, the spongy, if fashionable laces will not stay tied. I chucked them and bought a pair of old-fashioned, non-spongy ones. They will only stay on the tongue if you reverse thread them through the top islet, and then it is v. close. They are comfortable but certainly not worth the premium price.

Recommend you order a half-size larger than you usually need. These are shorter than they should be, and I can't comfortably wear them longer than a few hours.

I loved this shoe at first but then noticed that a seam near the top was rubbing on my foot and started to cause a blister.

I would not recommend these shoes

These shoes were very tight, and run small. They destroyed my feet and legs. Top lace is too hight on the foot and uncomfortable. Shoe strings are too short. Just uncomfortable shoes all the way around.

Disclaimer: I have been a satisfied customer for over a decade and I have never had an issue with a shoe, until now. The spot where the tongue is sewed into the shoe creates a sharp, hard and painful stone-like feature that makes the shoe impossible to wear. After just a few minutes of wearing, I had a serious red spot on both feet. This needs a serious re-design. Do not buy.
