This are my third pair of Tevas sandals, I walk for 8 hours in this sandals, it gives me a lot of support and feels amazing walking on this strap sandals..!
I always thought Texas looked weird with the straps and didn’t try them as a result for years. Finally decided to after finding these in my size and on a good deal. I’m a size 15 and paid roughly 30 for these. I really appreciate the thicker sole on these and the fit is good. It did not take long to adjust to not having the toe thing either. These just stay in place and are comfortable. Couldn’t ask for more. Except maybe durability-and these deliver there as well. I hike in these, and just use them all around. Good stuff for large mammal like me. I’m tall and heavy set, typically test the durability of most footwear without trying.I bought a second pair after 2 months because I fell in love with them.
These fit fine and that a great job at the beach. The quality is good and the materials are as I expected. These are different than your average Teva but for something that can get wet and be used at the beach or in setting where are your feet will be wet they are very nice
Yep. There was a day when you ordered a size 10 from Teva, you actually got a size 10. Not any more. The corporate bigwigs are starting to cut costs and downsizing their products. And I have noticed they have discontinued items that probably cost more to make and had a lower margin. The Men's Original Universal Premier Sandal was the best product they have ever produced, but it's gone now. Teva, you have sold your soul to the dark side. Come back to the light.
comfortable .. love the color and looks great ..
The quality is nice but they need another adjustment on the heel piece. Just okay.
It’s to big
