These feel great and I love the skinny straps. However, my foot slides too much if I don't have the straps tight enough to hurt.

Love the brand; love this color. I’m sure comfort is on par. But the style didn’t fit my foot; it’s too narrow for my feet. Returning because of this. Really wanted to love it. I think if you at all think your feet is slightly wide(r), this might disappoint.

These shoes are very comfortable. I have worn them a couple of times, and they feel great. But the soles are very cheap, and I am concerned with how long they will last. Considering the price, I expected much better quality soles.

These arrived obviously having been worn - The tissue was all wrinkled, the velcro was all stuck together, and there were white droplets on the shoes. This in itself wasn't a dealbreaker, though. I get a new pair of Tevas pretty much every year, but this particular pair has a rough seam on the inside ankle strap of the left shoe that digs into the underside of my foot when I walk :( They do look nice on.

guess I should have got a 10. I thought they'd be okay. I sent back the other pair it was obviously too big. I wore these and they just were very floppy too big I'm guessing but now I'm stuck with them so I got rid of the box so I thought they were gonna work

These run smaller than my brown universal slim sandals. I would love it if they came in a 12.5 or 13.

I read reviews that mention going down a size because they don't offer half sizes but that was very wrong. I'm usually a 7.5 in sandals and went down to a 7 but it's too small and now the 8s are out of stock! I don't recommend going up a size either because who's to say those would fit and wouldn't be too big. Seems to be a bit of a gamble

I love the look and the style but the toe strap cut into my baby toe and rubbed it no matter how loose I made the strap. I think it hit my wide feet at just the wrong spot and the straps have no give or softness so it rubbed.
Return was super easy and smooth though!!

I have gotten a lot of use out of my Tevas over the years. Purchased these for my daughter and I.
Maybe, I should have paid closer attention to the description, "slim sandal". It is cute and strappy but not up to my expectations. It didn't have the quality sole I expected from Teva based on reputation and cost. Expectations and cost did not align for this style.

I REALLY wanted these to work! Wishful thinking on my part that these would have some arch support. (So hard to find supportive sandals that don't look orthopedic.) I can't imagine wearing them for very long so back they go.
Someone else said it felt like the soles are made of boogy board and that's totally true.
I'm an 8, sometimes an 8.5 and I felt like the sizing was pretty generous. Lots of extra length for toes.

They fit perfectly
They're really cute
They are comfortable enough to walk 5 miles around town, no problem
but GOODNESS do they squeak! They squeak SO LOUD! Everyone is staring at me as I squeak through the building.

These are good but the strap across the toes is not adjustable. I have a slender build (5'1" and 113 lbs) so the fit is slightly loose here and not as snug as the ankle strap which I can tighten to the correct fit. As a result I occasionally stub the front part of the sandal on the sidewalk when walking. Not sure if I should go through the hassle of trying a half size down?

I want to like these and wear them everywhere but one of the sandals is uncomfortable. The strap seam aligns just at the inside of my ankle, rubbing and creating a sore. If the seam was on the outside, it wouldn't be an issue. Bummed.

i wanted to love these but they give me blisters by my pinky toe. i have tried loosening the straps which has not been effective. i bought these to walk around when on vacation and the soles are not as comfortable as i would like but is acceptable. they are cute though

I wore these around for a couple hours inside to try them out and discovered they squeak when I walk and my skin was sore where the toe strap rubbed. I'll have to return. They were cute and bouncy though. I'm sad they squeak.

I get frustrated when footwear doesn’t come in half sizes! I’m a true 6 1/2!!! I ordered down as recommended and my heel is at the end. I’m returning and ordering up!

I get frustrated when footwear doesn’t come in 1/2 sizes!!! I’m a true 6 1/2 and I read somewhere to size down so I got the 6. It fits with heel just at end-no wiggle room. Sadly I’m returning.

I found the slim to be too slim for me. The straps are 1/2 inch wide and I felt insecure walking in them. They may work for someone else, though. The product is well made.

I loved my leather slim strapped Teva's which I wore for many years. Since those were no longer available in black, I decided to try the new black slim. The composite inner sole is textured and feels like I have coarse sand in my shoes. I find this quite uncomfortable. I do like the narrow straps but these shoes lack the quality and comfort of my original leather Teva's.

I really love the thinner strap aesthetic. So many of the sandals have a geriatric orthotic shoe look. The coral color was beautiful and fun. My problem was this metal ring binding front straps. It's uncomfortable on the top of my foot and I bought these to wear for things like beach, pool, water park, kayaking etc. Anyone who's into these things knows something metal is going to superheat out in the sun. You'll have to hide your shoes under a towel so you don't get burnt. Tens please Find a way to remake these thin straps without the metal and please make a thin strap slide version (no irritating thong) and I'll be all in for a pair in every color.

I loved the look of these, and they were so comfortable. I bought them for a trip and after the third day I noticed the front of the footbed was starting to come apart. Really disappointed in the quality because these would otherwise be a perfect sandal for travel.
