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.

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.

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.

Classic sport sandal
I got these for a trip to Belize and they are just the thing for hiking through wet conditions. Tevas have great traction and I feel sure-footed in them. However, I developed a blister on the top of my pinkie toe where the metal connector is and realized too late that the top strap should be looser.
These fit TTS and are very adjustable with Velcro straps.
I got the peachy combo and love the color.

Disappointing Purchase
The fit and footbed were different (not as good) as my other Universal Sandals. The packaging was not original and was poor. I am returning the sandals.

Honey who shrunk my feet !?
Did my feet shrink ? I have worn a 9 previously. This 9 is too big and I wore the shoes a few times to realize they just didn’t fit like the last time . So I may just keep and wear with socks into the fall . And reorder an 8 next time . Otherwise quality still up to par .
