The perfect sandal
This is a great all around everyday shoe. I wear it with everything, including skirts and dresses. I walk a lot and I never get blisters with these babies. My only con is that i have wide feet and my pinky toe just barely comes out of the strapping. A 7 and a half would probably correct that however...

Really Comfortable BUT ...
These are extremely comfortable. However, I was disappointed in the quality of the sole. It is already starting to shred a bit at the toe, and I have had them for about a month. If I were going to purchase another pair, which I probably will, I would get the ones with a more rugged sole.

So Sad These Didn't Work
I am copying my review from the other pair I bought at the same time of this pair, as they are the same model) I've been buying and wearing Teva sandals for years and love them… the last couple times I've bought them. I noticed my foot would slide forward and I figured it was just a matter of breaking them in and/or finding the sweet spot with straps. I bought two pairs for this summer and absolutely love the way they look, but realized as soon as I tried them on, what was happening. The back strap is not adjustable and it is slightly too tight, which pushes my foot forward. Factor in the result of the sole warming up with use and my foot slides forward a lot ..right off the front of the sandal! That's when I realized that my very favorite pair of old Teva's had an adjustable back strap. Ah ha moment for me, and also sad face for realizing I'd have to return these, and buy the Hurricane series to get an adjustable back strap. (Which I already have) …please, Teva designers, make the ack straps adjustable for these too??

My annual Spring putchase
I literally live in these shoes from March - October. Last year's pair become my work and swim shoes, and my new ones are for leaving the house. I bought them for my grandsons and they love swimming in them too.
Teva fan
I've been wearing Teva for years, now, and they are definitely durable. I hate wasting time looking for things I need and I'm glad when I find something I love. I stick to it.
wardrobe staple
I finally caved and replaced my 5-year-old pair of Tevas that were literally falling apart. I cannot live without them. So comfy, causal, and simple. As soon as the temperatures get above 50º, the Tevas come out!
Broke my leg
Had these tevas on while I was walking around in shallow water when I slipped and broke my leg. I definitely didn't feel secure with them but they're sold for the purpose of preventing falls while walking on wet surfaces. The EMTs and local doctors all agreed that tevas are NOT "water shoes" and are just a slippery as a regular shoe on wet rocks.

Official Response by Teva
That sounds like a really frightening experience, and we would love to hear more about it. Please give us a call at the number listed here: bit.ly/TevaHelps when you have some time. And remember, while this pair does feature a rubberized outsole for extra traction on long walks, models like our Hydratrek Water Sandal are a game-changer for wet and rugged adventures. It implements a tree-frog inspired grip to keep you steadfast against more slippery surfaces. Again, we are so sorry to hear about this mishap in the water and look forward to hearing from you.
I love this sandal...
I had bought the more "platform" version of this sandal, but I found the platform one to be stiffer to walk in, so I returned those. I love this flatter ones. They are very confortable and I love the tri-color straps! Also, I usually wear a size 7 or 7.5 in most shoes - including sandals if they come in half sizes - but I do not like for my heel to come right to the edge of any sandal. Makes the sandal look too small/short for my foot. So for sandals only - if they only come in whole sizes, like these, I opt for the size up...in this case, an 8, which fits perfectly. There is about 1/4" behind my heel, which to me looks much nicer than having your heel looking like it is about to fall off the back, and thus, appear a tad too short for one's feet!! Just my thing.
Fantastic sandal
I bought these for an upcoming beach vacation. They fit great right out of the box. I have flat feet, so I was worried there would be little support. However, the soles are substantial and supportive. Love the cute color combo.
ADORABLE
As a devout Teva wearer, I can confidently say this is the cutest pair I've ever seen. Can't wait to wear them out this summer on the water!
