User Reviews
It's hot and humid in Taiwan for most of the year, wearing sandal is more comfortable than sealed shoes. I choose Teva for its quality and appearance.
These are the best sandal have ever owned! These things fit great they look awesome and they are super comfortable!All my life my mom and dad both have always owned a pair of Teva sandals. They would ware them all the time outside no matter if they were walking, doing yard work, at the beach, or spending the day shopping. I always wrote them off as ugly and old people shoes.About a year into college I started to notice a whole lot of people wearing this style of sandal and since I had always heard good things from my parents I decided I would get some myself. I got a great deal on mine as I believe the design I picked (and liked the most) was the year old one. This mattered little to me.As soon as I got my new sandals I strapped them on. I didn’t get this right the first time and that led to a blister on the inside of my ankle. After a quick Google search and a re-strap I had the sandals on and fitting just right for me.Since then these have been my go to foot ware on almost every day the sun is out and it’s warm. I have worn these now countless days and miles doing an extremely wide verity of activities. With these strapped securely to my feet I have, spent the day at the mall, hiked trails in the woods, walked around the tailgate, gone biking, done sprints, walked the beach, walked through streams, walked in the ocean, walked an uninhabited island, gone to the store, laid in a hammock, climbed rocks, shot some basketball, worked in the yard, got in the lake, drove for a long distance, worked at work, and so much more. They really are the perfect footwear no matter what you’re doing. And after all of this and more they are still holding up beautifully!
These sandals fit great, are comfortable, and didn't even need to be broken in. I climbed Guadalupe Peak, the highest peak in Texas, while wearing these and did not get any blisters. The reason I am giving only 3 stars is because of the quality of the straps. The end of the strap is not fully attached to the velcro, there is about a one-inch part that is not connected. When I tried to tighten them while on my hike, on one sandal, the velcro ripped off the strap because of this. This was a huge disappointment because I really like everything else about these sandals, and I only used them for about a week before this issue. I am going to contact the manufacturer and will update my review based on the customer service experience.
These are my third pair of Tevas. I wear them to play in the lake, to take short hikes, and around town. The Lite seem less Lite my old traditional Tevas but are still comfortable. I bought 12 instead of 11.5 because someone said the Lites tend to run small; unfortunately, the sandals are a bit long. With some adjustment of the back strap, they fit fine.
The plastic on the sides where the clasps are cut my feet. :( The plastic is too exposed and the material on the sides are too rough.
Very light and comfortable, the heel shockpad really is soft and comfy.My left foot is bigger in 1 cm and it is wider but the sizing is great and the fit is snug.
I have had these sandals for a few weeks now, and have really enjoyed them. I have used them daily on trail and road. They are light, comfortable, easy to adjust, and have worn really well. I also have a pair of chacos, but these are much lighter and easier to wear. The tevas don't feel like they will last as long as the chacos, which is really my only concern with them. The pricepoint is a little high, but if I can get two years out of them I consider it worth it. The main thing that I appreciate about these sandals is that they are relatively minimal, but still feel like they can handle some real terrain. I will probably do the rim to rim in them this summer. Overall, I recommend them.
Love this sandal. This pair was bought to replace a pair that I had for over 6 years. The fit was true. They stay attached to your feet when running. They work great in the sand and water. They look good on your feet. Great sandal.
