I bought these for a trip to St. Lucia knowing that I needed shoes that could get wet. I ended up wearing these sandals exclusively! They are cute for the day in a swimsuit and also for the evening with a summer dress! I would love to see the leather ones in more colors. I did use the size chart for the size. I normally wear an 8 but I followed the chart and the 7's were perfect!

Bought these for after game drives shoes on a recent trip to Africa. Did the trick and comfortable.

I thought these would be a little more streamlined looking, for "dressier" wear. They are cute, but are wider-and therefore Clunkier-than a typical Teva fit. Maybe because the straps are thinner and not as secure on my foot. I honestly haven't worn them much, because of the clunk- but it wasn't bad enough to send them back. My feet are fairly on the thin side, even tho I am not an extra skinny lady.

The shoes are comfortable while looking nicer/slightly dressier than your average Teva. Just be aware that the leather looks fairly cheap and more like fake leather/pleather than actual strips of good quality leather. They still work for me but for the price and if you were wanting a more "proper" leather sandal look it may affect your decision around purchasing.

Love Teva sandals. Wish this one had a “mush” footbed for more comfort and support. Otherwise they look good and are decently comfortable.

The foot bed fits well and I like the color plus having leather straps.

These came into stock, and I snatched up one of the size 8's. They run big, and they were out of stock a week later when I tried to exchange for a 7.

I got this sandal because I love the comfort of Tevas and needed something a little more delicate for summer besides the traditional hiking sandal. While still not the best looking, it is a bit more refined than the traditional sandals and is definitely very comfortable. Definitely a practical purchase, butni wish they made a cuter scrappy leather sandal.

I love the comfort of these sandals. The only really negative thing I have about the sandals is the color. The pictures look like it is a natural leather color and my previous sandals (about 15 years old) were a natural color. These are dyed and the color is not a natural leather color.

Uncomfortable and for some reason hard to walk in. Not sure what the deal was but they didn’t work for my foot.

I wore inside my home, & the rough edges of the leather caused irritation and sores.

I like the idea of a minimal sandal, but these have little or no support

The sandals were bought for an upcoming vacation but when I tried them on it was too wide. The straps are adjustable but it was way too wide for my feet and the straps ended were dangling on the side of the sandal.

I must be an outlier because these feel so uncomfortable to me. Very rough straps, and they are inset so the pinch. I don't understand why people love these so much, but maybe it's just me.

Comfortable and great to wear when hot outside. But not happy with color. Really not dark brown.

I like the look of thee slim straps, and the footbed is really comfy,but these don’t stay on my feet well. I need more straps holding my feet in, I guess!

as another review states, these shoes stain VERY quickly and are difficult to clean. They become like dirt buckets after a few wears. They really should make the upper sole a leather as well in order to avoid this problem and allow for more effective cleaning.

I got these Sandals in the color "Birch" about 2 weeks ago. The foot bed is already stained. I haven't worn them in any muddy areas or dirt roads, just normal everyday wear.
This is to be expected with white shoes, but the foot bed does NOT clean well. I tried scrubbing with just water, then dawn dish soap, currently using shout to try to clean them up...

Fit well but looked much wider than my foot, especially at the toes. Comfortable enough but didn’t have them long enough to truly test the comfort, ended up returning because I didn’t like the wide look.

Very cute shoes. I am usually able to adjust so they will fit my narrow foot, but not these.

I bought a pair of Original Universal Slim sandals and this pair. I have a narrow foot, but Teva's work because the straps are adjustable. The leather version of this sandal has a notably wider footbed than the regular ones. It looked out of proportion on my foot, whereas the regular ones fit nicely. Also, the brown color isn't a rich brown. It's a little dull/muddy. It wasn't flattering on me, but the sandal would work well for those with average width feet.

I've been wearing Teva's for years and love them! I was excited to try out a slimmer style only for my pinky toe to be blistered every time

Shocked at the terrible quality of Teva! These sandals are really cute and stylish but the quality is not what Teva was always known for. I’m very disappointed so I’m returning them.

Great fit; I have the non-leather version of this sandal and love it. I liked the idea of a leather version in a white color, but I didn't realize that the footbed is foam, and only the straps are leather. I can't imagine that a white foam footbed will stay clean for long, and because I wanted this to be a dressier comfortable sandal, I chose to return it.
