These carry the TEVA name and Teva is well known for its functional and durable rugged-wear sandals. But these Tevas are made 100% of the flexible rubberized plastic material that looks to me to be the same material as Croks. That said, the material is molded to fit and these sandals support the foot very well- MUCH BETTER than Croks! They also have a grippy sole that avoids slips and lastly they can be easily cleaned [and sanitized] under running water thus sand and mud and all kinds of dirt and odor causing crapazolla can be washed away. We do a lot of boating and I'm not sure what's in river water, but our "old-style" Teva sandals would soon emit a pungent odor which we call "river smell". I think that was because the rubber-soled with traditional cloth or leather retaining straps would absorb and hold water and maybe breed river bacteria... or something. But that problem has been eliminated with these and the plasticized material from which they are made. Also important for river-wear was a slip resistant sole and these also are GOOD in that respect. My family is now SOLD on this version of the Teva sandal!
I ordered these a little over a month ago, not realizing that they weren't in stock. I ended up ordering the same sandals from another website, and I wasn't able to cancel this order through Amazon because it brought the original order up above the $25 minimum for free shipping. I am now trying to decide if it is worth returning these or selling them...I would buy them again in a heartbeat, but don't need two pairs of sandals. I do love these sandals, but they feel a little loose around the toes. The other straps make up for any extra space around the toe straps. They have a decent tread for synthetic sandals, and they are very comfortable. Definitely a worthwhile investment!
Sandals are a bit big for their size and the front strap is not adjustable. Overall they feel good and definitely float. Mine come off part way when I swim with them on, they stay attached at the ankle, but my toes slip out of the front portion when kicking short distances.
My husband and son practically live in these since I bought each of them a pair. My husband swears by Teva. (he still has an original pair of Tevas from the 90's that are a bit beat. Both rave how comfortable these are and despite being made of foam, they say their feet do not get hot. These are more like a better alternative to flip flops and or to soccer slippers. As far as fit go they are a bit loose. Both my son and spouse wish the front was adjustable (as it is on other Teva models) .
I like that the sandal is one piece construction and therefore not subject to adhesive failure over time as so many of my sandals have experienced. Most size 11 shoes are right for me but these are on the large side and the space between my foot and the strap at the front is too big. Unfortunately, though a photo might suggest that the front strap is adjustable, the front strap is fixed in size so I'm stuck with the extra space.UPDATE: I liked the size 11 enough to reorder but in size 10. The fit is much better for me and the front now fits fine. Did I mention that I really like the arch supports in these.
Great sandal. Very lightweight. Watch out in the water - so light will easily float away. Runs a size larger, maybe two sizes larger. Have been tripping all over the place being oversized but unable to return back as had it sent outside of the United States where am currently residing
I love this Teva sandal. It is comfortable for someone like me who has bad feet. I will be returning it for one reason only and that is size. I ordered the 9 men’s and I need an 8 men’s which is out of stock. I am sadly disappointed. I would however recommend this shoe and I will be searching for others colors I can use.
I normally love Teva sandals. These are the worst I’ve ever had though. Someone really screwed up when they designed what I would consider a chopped up Croc. The material is slick and uncomfortable, you can’t adjust anything, and I think I could have fit another foot on top of mine with the gaps they had in the front “straps.”Just save your money on these and get the Hurricane XLT2.
