I really love the thinner strap aesthetic. So many of the sandals have a geriatric orthotic shoe look. The coral color was beautiful and fun. My problem was this metal ring binding front straps. It's uncomfortable on the top of my foot and I bought these to wear for things like beach, pool, water park, kayaking etc. Anyone who's into these things knows something metal is going to superheat out in the sun. You'll have to hide your shoes under a towel so you don't get burnt. Tens please Find a way to remake these thin straps without the metal and please make a thin strap slide version (no irritating thong) and I'll be all in for a pair in every color.

I LOVE the look of the slim version versus the thicker straps but the thin straps are clearly not as durable. Fit was great (i’m an 8.5 and ordered the 8). I bought them for my trip to Costa Rica and on day one of the trip while walking to the beach (paved road, not rough terrain) one of the straps broke. Maybe I just had a defective pair but I won’t risk repurchasing the slim version and having it happen again. I emailed customer service and they told me I can return then I get home. Shout out to Nordstrom and their amazing return policy.

I just learned about the slim version of these sandals (honestly can't remember where...) and I was so excited. I wore the original Teva's years ago, and they were great for camping/hiking etc. These are just as comfortable, and look a bit more civilized to wear for travel, sightseeing, and around town. I was looking for a super comfortable, flat walking sandal in tan and I think these will be perfect for my upcoming trip. I got the Tiger's Eye color, which seems a little lighter than in the photos, but it will be fine. There are generously sized, and the 10 fit my wide feet very well, whereas in some other sandals and dress shoes I need to size up.They also come in some fun colors, I might have to get another pair.

My 15 year old Teva's finally gave up the ghost in Peru. Ordered this pair as a replacement. Loving the slim style and format - fits into my rucksack side pocket even better than previous pair. The skin tone color is perfect for universal use - shorts to dresses. The straps are very well placed - a little different than previous pair but still comfortable without rubbing. My shoe size is 6 or 6.5 (brand dependent) - ordered a 6 and it fits perfectly. I use Teva's for work (aboard Navy and commercial ships) and for leisure (hiking, cruising and city touring).
I like these sandals a lot, the sole has a good amount of cushion so they're very comfortable and the pebbled texture against a bare foot feels nice - with socks you don't notice it. The straps are slim, but keep the shoe on without digging in, which is a problem I've had with other sandals. There are two Velcro points of adjustment, over the top of the ankle and over the top of the toes, I thought I would miss the back-of-the-heel adjustment, but honestly it fits great! I also think the hardware being metal is a nice touch, the triangles that keep the strap joints together are a light silver that gives it a slightly nicer look.My only cons are the color I got it in (my fault), and a kind of odd design in the pull-tab of the Velcro straps. For the color, I got ... MoreI like these sandals a lot, the sole has a good amount of cushion so they're very comfortable and the pebbled texture against a bare foot feels nice - with socks you don't notice it.

For the color, I got "Tiger's Eye" and since it's a lighter color, it picks up dirt and scuffs more obviously, which I hadn't considered when I got them.The other con is that the part of the strap that you pull off the velcro has this additional weaving on the top of it, but that weaving doesn't extend to the whole strap. So I'm pulling on this stitching because I think it's the end and it's not coming up. I attached a picture to show better what I mean, you can see where some threads are loose that I kept trying to pull up :DNot a deal breaker, I still love these, but I'm not sure why they did that
This is a thin, modern take on the classic Teva velcro sandal that is comfortable and functional. The sandal is nice and light, and I like that it's partially made from recycled materials. I liked the narrower straps, and there was nice arch support in the footbed. The shoe as nicely wide through the toes, and with the velcro strap there as well, could be adjusted to a comfortable fit. Might be a touch wide aesthetically for very narrow feet, but I loved the shape. It says it features "Life Natural, a peppermint-based anti odor treatment" - there was no noticeable smell after hours of wearing (and none of that gross new plastic smell initially either), but it's also a very airy shoe. Ran true to size.
Simple sandals are exactly what they promised. They stood up to a spring-hike up river and I stayed in them the whole six miles (even when I assumed I'd need to swap out, since breaking in new shoes takes time!) Decent tread over uneven terrain and many afternoons of easy-going around town. I like their adjustment configuration, which allows some length-wiggle-room, rather than just strapping down the toe-box area.I'm a little worried they might not have a long lifetime; I generally trust Teva's, but the strap connections points seem a little wimpy ... fingers way crossed! They're so light-weight I hope to have them as easy around town and around-camp shoes for many seasons!
I got these in the color Tiger's Eye (a light sandy brown color). It's a lovely neutral color that goes with pretty much anything in my wardrobe. My absolute favorite thing about these sandals are how light weight they are. They barely weigh anything so perfect for traveling. I have used these as "shower shoes" for camping and they are comfortable just walking around the campsite.They have some arch support but I didn't feel the straps were sturdy enough to actually hike in these.I felt these were TTS/ run just a tad large. I normally wear a size 7.5/8 but I ordered the 6 and it was only a teeny bit small.Overall, I'm super happy with these Tevas and would recommend these to anyone looking for a pair of lightweight, versatile sandals.
The sandal is an excellent choice for daily wear around town due to it's weight, feel, and look, but longer I wear it, the more I imagine packing a bag and running off to a week long holiday somewhere because I want to go on an adventure with them!Out of the box they felt very light and sleek. The strap configuration is adjustable at both the front of your foot and at the ankle so you can dial in the fit as needed (no socks vs socks fit or if you want it looser or tighter) which is invaluable for a sandal. The thinner build of the straps also make it a less in-your-face sandal so it's easier to dress it up a bit for a sunset beach-front dinner date.The sole is also very comfortable. It's just the one piece that makes up the bottom of the sandal, but whatever it ... MoreThe sandal is an excellent choice for daily wear around town due to it's weight, feel, and look, but longer I wear it, the more I imagine packing a bag and running off to a week long holiday somewhere because I want to go on an adventure with them!Out of the box they felt very light and sleek.

It's just the one piece that makes up the bottom of the sandal, but whatever it is, it's great to wear all day! There's a pattern on the part of the sandal that touches your foot that lets air flow through to prevent your foot from sticking to it, but it's not such an aggressive pattern that I think about the entire time I wear it. The material they make the sole out of is tough enough to stand up to continuous walking but also soft and light so they make the walk a dream. The contouring also works well for me.Overall it's something I would look forward to wearing out, so much so I want to make more occasions to wear them! Sunny day? Let's go! Rainy day? Good, these will dry out fast! Beach day? I can run right into the water! Quick trip to the shop? I can slip these right on! Date night? These are cute!The only thing I would caution is that these are probably not built for serious river fording and long hikes. Could you probably make it? Sure, but follow the vibes these sandals give you. These sandals want to be your in-town adventure buddies to the farmers market, followed by some errands downtown, and come with you for a candlelight dinner at that new restaurant your friends have been telling you about. If you want to hop on a plane Europe to walk around town to eat gelato and authentic pizza... these will work for that, too!
Pros:-Very comfortable-Enough space for my feet to comfortably spread out and still be fully on the sandal.-The traction is good on these. I won’t have to worry about slipping on wet areas.-I have narrow feet and these are comfortable for me.Cons:-If you have skinny ankles/ feet the straps will hang off the sandal.-The bottoms on these sandals are not a heavy rubber (Vibram style bottoms). The sandals may not be the best for uneven terrain.
