Teva K Hurricane Drift Sandal, Rosebloom, 10 US Unisex Little Kid Review

What can I say? I was originally skeptical when my GF said try these. I ordered the first pair in white (not shown), and tried it for a week.My first impressions:This is the first set of Teva's I've ever owned that I'm not embarrassed to wear all over the place. They don't look like sports, hiking, or adventure sandals like the rest of their product line looks like. Meaning "hippie" hiking, biking, kayaking, running type of sport sandals. They can dress up or down. I've worn them to the beach, and even worn them (the black one) with a dress at a dinner event, and I got nothing but compliments, and shock from the ladies when I told them they're TEVAS.The different hues are very pleasant and stylish. Any of the colors can go with almost any color outfit. They fit and feel so nice. The material is almost like a "crocs" type of material. There's no fabric or webbing like normal Teva sandals, there's no synthetic or leather footbed, so (thankfully) these don't seem to withhold that "stink feet" (EEW) smell.Easy to wash, easy to clean. Just hose them off if used at the beach, or gently scrub them with a sponge or gentle nylon toothbrush if used in the dirt. The front strap is not adjustable; the top (ankle) strap is velcro and is adjustable to a certain extent. I keep the strap snug, not tight. It helps NOT to have that ankle strap too loose, that will lead to chaffing believe it or not, rather than keeping it loose. But not too tight! Or your foot will lose circulation which is WORSE.I get a lot of compliments, for those of you who like attention that you get from wearing NICE shoes, sandals, slippers. Since I live in Hawaii we have a mostly flip flop, sandal type of culture, and these are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for that purpose.The black and white ones are the most versatile: I've worn the black one with a dress to dinner and another time to a business function. The white one I've worn to a friend's wedding. I was the most comfortable lady there, I guarantee it! It's normally hard to find nice white sandals to wear to moderate to classy events, and the white ones, well cared for and clean, fit the bill.I didn't think to take pictures of me wearing the white ones, sorry! LOL!!!I can't speak highly enough of these. So far I have one each of the white, black, lake green, and mango sandals. I love these.The fit? Well they're about 1/4" too long, but that's minor. You don't really want to size them too close from heel to toe anyway, otherwise if you use them for hiking or walking, you'll stub your toes all the time. Also, the front strap, sized oh so lightly too large (1/2 size up), sits right on the top of where what you'd call the toe first "knuckles" lie, and feels the best, for me anyway. The toes are allowed to bend and flex, you can still wiggle them and lift your toes for flexibility and comfort.Good for dirt, sand, water, mud, and (cleaned off carefully) even a night out on the town if you wanna make a fashion statement? Wear a white dress with mango sandals? Yes! You can do it with this one if you want to. Wear mango (orange) designer glasses and you'll set a fashion statement!!!

These remarkable shoes perfectly blend functionality with style, a rare find for those of us gearing up for adventures both aquatic and terrestrial. The traction is unparalleled, ensuring safety on slippery surfaces, while the quick-drying material keeps discomfortable when I’m just strolling throughout the dayWhat sets these shoes apart is their versatility. They transition effortlessly from water to land, complementing a variety of outfits from casual shorts to more dressy sundresses, proving indispensable for the well-traveled and style-conscious adventurer. They are giving Grown-Up-Dora the Explorer. In essence, they give the spirit of exploration & style, making them an essential addition to any journey. I highly recommended for those who seek to navigate the adventures of life looking good and ready for whateva!

I've never purchased velcro-closure footwear, as my experience has been that velcro loses its ability to close properly/maintain closure after a season or two of dirt, water, wear/tear. But I wanted a pair of sandals for urban out/about, so thought I'd give these Tevas a go.For a plastic sandal, I'm surprised and very pleased at how lightweight, stable, grippy and amazingly comfortable they are. I've walked kilometers up/down/around town in them with zero foot problems, and I have both flat feet and metatarsalgia. Velcro closure below ankle holds foot firmly in place with no strap rubbing or slippage issues.I haven't used the Tevas in water conditions as yet. However, they are an excellent, practical alternative to flip flops and other urban summer shoes. Recommended!

I love these sandals BUT can’t really use them for what I purchased them for. They’re marketed as lightweight and floatable, the first of which I agree with. They are SUPER comfortable and light, with good traction. They’re also pretty easy to clean when they get dirty. Pretty accurate sizing: I’m usually a W9.5, and got a a 9 and am happy with the size. Would recommend sizing down for anyone between sizing.My only beef with these sandals is how slippery they get the moment your foot is wet. I got them for some light hiking and to wear for river floats as a cuter water shoe alternative. This is impossible for two reasons: 1) The lack of adjustability around the toe and 2) the slickness of the actual shoe bed. The lack of adjustability around the top strap is a huge bummer because I feel like it’s a bit loose around the top of my foot. Also, because the bed of the sandal doesn’t have any texture to help your foot grip the shoe, as soon as your foot gets wet, it slides out of the entire sandal. I was slipping and sliding the entire river float. Needless to say, I will not be wearing around water ever again. Would also warn people with sweaty feet to avoid these.All in all, I’m keeping because they are very comfortable, lightweight, and easy to clean. A great summer sandal. But I would warn people expecting to wear them in the water that these cannot replace other hardier, more textured Tevas or Chacos better suited for the job.

I’ve had the traditional, woven tevas for years. I’ve liked them ok, but the buckle across the pinky toe always bothered me. THESE ARE SO MUCH BETTER! They are like Tevas and Crocs had a baby! Plus! These will not hold onto water if you get them wet then have to walk a ways. I’m so excited to wear them on our vacation to Mexico! I’m going to try to convince my husband to buy some too!!
