I love that both straps are adjustable, and that the straps lay flat when tightened all the way. I have thin, narrow feet, and usually the ends of adjustable straps kind of flap around when tightened all the way, lol. These do not.
I just walked for miles in them while on vacation, and they were quite comfortable. My only complaint would be that the insole has a weird texture to it, it's not smooth. I got used to it, but it doesn't feel real nice.
I wear an 8.5 in most shoes, I sized down to an 8 for this and it's perfect.

Ive been wearing Olowahu sandals for many years. They are perfectly supportive and comfortable for short trips and even long walks. They are my standard summer wear but for a trip abroad I wanted something with a back strap So when I saw the newer skinny strap take on the classic Universal Teva sandals I thought that these would be perfect. I so wanted to love them. I strongly like them but cant say I love them. These is no support at all, the soles are completely flat and where the straps connect tend to make my feet sore. Im still wearing them, but not as much as I would have liked. I think Ill stick to my Olowahu and TerraTravellers.

I have worn Teva "slims" for many years. I have always purchased the black ones. These multi colored Tevas were so cute I had to try them. Indeed, they are cute, but they are not as sturdy as the original slim Tevas that I have purchased several times in the past.

Love these! I have had my mid forms for a while now, and wanted to get a new pair for my 2 week Italy trip. I wore these all around old cities, rocky beaches, stair hiking, and climbing over/through rocks. No blisters or anything! 4 stars only because the little metal triangle on the toe strap and kind of rub on your pinky toe and become uncomfortable. But as long as you strap your foot in tightly and push your feet to the front of the shoe, you can avoid this.

I find them to be a little big and the straps are stiff and harsh.

Pros: the shoe fits well, the straps adjust nicely to my narrow feet. Most strappy adjustable sandals don't get tight enough, or have an awkward excess strap overhang. I really like the thin straps, looks cute instead of clunky. The size 8 fits perfect, i normally wear an 8.5 or 9.0 regular shoe. The only con is the texture of the insole. It feels weird, not soft/smooth and comfy. I guess I'll get used to it. My last pair of Teva sandals have lasted about 8 summers, I'm really hoping these are the same quality!

I love these sandals - I can't wait to wear them although they were sewn wrong so one strap on one shoe was noticeably longer than the other one and it really bothered me. I'm exchanging for the same size and same product, hoping I'll get a matching pair the second time around.

It took a couple wears and walks to get the strap going over my toes to not irritate my skin. I think this is where a wider strap would be better. I've finally broken them in and like themI like the thin strap look. The sole is a little flimsy, so I occasionally catch the front on the ground as I'm walking, but that hasn't caused me to trip so far. For the money, a good walking sandal.

Great looking product that is remarkably comfortable and easy to wear. I've worn them basically every day. Personally I couldve used a bit more arch support but that may just be my weird knees.

Love the look of the shoe and comfort. It is definitely more for casual outings than anything in nature.

Good quality and what I expected from the brand based on past purchases . However, despite the rankings saying they run true to size, the pair I bought in the size I wear in almost every other brand were HUGE. At least 2 sizes too long and a size or more too wide. Will go into a store that carries them so I can try various sizes on. Perhaps they run true to Teva sizes.

I've been looking for a sandal like this and I'm familiar with Teva quality so this purchase was a no brainer. The only downside side is I'm between a size 6 & 7, and no 1/2 sizes offered. I ordered a size 6 because I'm closer to it than an 7 but my toes are right at the edge, too close for my comfort. I returned and have ordered a size 7. I'm hoping they're not too big!

I love the style of these sandals. So simple and not heavy. But you used to have a comfortable footbed on them in past years, and now you've gone to a cheaper, bumpy and rough footbed. I would gladly pay $20 more for the old style that you made before. But I'm going to keep them because they fit and are otherwise great.

I was unsure of these at first because the top straps were rubbing and the material on the shoe was uncomfortable and irritating my toes at first. I kept wearing them and it seems they just had a break-in period. I've hiked in them, worn them to the beach, and around the house and feel good about taking them for 8 days in Costa Rica.

The footbed had very uncomfortable nibs all over. Guess my bare feet are sensitive. Too painful to wear. But the fit was perfect. Darn.

I love these sandals! They should come in more patterned strap colors. I don't like the hard, textured top sole. It's rough and slippery. I sanded the sole to a more smooth, soft surface and it's way more comfortable!

I ordered a size 8 and 9. Typically size 8.5. The 9 was better for length but it turns out I have a narrow and rather slim foot so I had to tighten these quite a bit where it just looked really bad. They were so comfortable though!!

These are so nice looking with nice detailing and nice flexibility. I noticed immediately these will but into my small toe. For reference I have a wide toe box, sort toes and narrow heel. I will continue my search!

The sandals are great. I'm a big fan of Teva and the quality is always great. I bought these for my wife and she loves them. Good quality and they look great. Shipping wasn't amazing, the box came nearly destroyed and I was worried the sandals but luckily they survived. I would definitely order again!

I tried desperately to make the classic Tevas work, but the straps and rings always caused discomfort. The thin straps are much more comfortable and the shoe profile a bit more feminine.

But these sandals for vacation. Love that they are comfortable & versatile. I was able to walk all day with them and the went with all the outfits I had.
The only thing I did not like is that even tho the shoe is open the soles of my feet were hot! My feet would get sweaty. Not sure the best way to change that. Otherwise, they would be perfect!
