Teva
The Teva brand was born in 1984 in the Grand Canyon, when a river guide rigged two Velcro watchbands to an old pair of flip-flops to create a shoe that wouldn't float away. More than 30 years later, Teva has become synonymous with comfort, durability and utilitarian style. The brand's original sandals line has expanded to include boots and sneakers for women, men and kids.
This brand meets Nordstrom Responsible Brands criteria: TEVA has committed to science-based climate action, with targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the latest climate science.

not good for beach and issues with small toe
I bought it thinking I could walk with them in and out of beach and on the sand. I did not walk more than 1.5 miles and despite adjusting it, it made two sores on the last toe left side. Not good in the sand and just ok in dry. Cute but useless for what it is supposed to be used.

Sandal is running big, by 1/2 size
I ordered this new pair, (on left foot) and, sadly they are made differently now, I usually wear a size 9, however, now the sandal is too long in the toe bed. Compared to my old ones, bought 3+ years ago, I will re-order in a 8.5.

Stepping on clouds
It is like stepping barefoot on the clouds. Lightweight and durable . It is very comfortable.

Sadly, I had to return. It hurts.
Was really excited about this sandal, I even bought 3 different styles to find my favorite. Unfortunately, all of them hurt at the part of the “triangle” attachment by the pinky toe. I wore it around for only five minutes and it left indentations on my skin. A variety of adjustments did not fix it. I’m dismayed to return it because it would have been a comfortable sandal otherwise. I’m a 6.5 and fit in sizes 6 and 5 in this shoe.
