These sandals are so comfortable and cute. I get compliments on them all the time and I do really prefer them over knock off brands. I have tried knock off and the soles
aren't as comfortable and I am a person with very sweaty feet and the soles in these help my feet with a better grip and I don't slip and slide in them. These also saved me on

I've wanted a pair of Tevas with a celestial pattern for so long, a pair that wasnt as bulky as the ones meant more for hiking instead of just walking. I finally splurged and got these and I'm going to have to return them.There is no padding/cushioning inside any of the straps, which means chafing. I wore these up to the grocery one block away and back and I was already developing a blister because of the straps at the toes rubbing against the inside front of my right foot. The strap is placed so it's right against the bone and there's no way to avoid or reposition it. Instant problem. I'll either have to put something on the underside of the strap or wear a blister guard.The second problem is that these shoes have literally no traction on smooth surfaces. I've ...

The strap is placed so it's right against the bone and there's no way to avoid or reposition it. Instant problem. I'll either have to put something on the underside of the strap or wear a blister guard.The second problem is that these shoes have literally no traction on smooth surfaces. I've never experienced this in a Teva shoe before, not in more than 25 years of wearing them. You can slide right across tile/linoleum with no effort - I nearly slipped and fell on the way to the elevator in my building. This is just no good at all. I buy Tevas for a reason.Finally, these sandals just feel cheap. The Universal Trail is also light and feels less solid than they used to before Teva started using these new materials, but you can tell it's a good shoe, and the traction is great on smooth surfaces, plus there is the cushioning.There's just no reason to strip this shoe from the traction soles or padded straps. They're not trail shoes, but one must still walk in them, and these two flaws combine to make that a painful and even hazardous endeavor.Finally, I'm upset because I can't order other styles or any men's shoes at all with this pattern, and I can't order most women's styles in just plain black without some kind of stripe or other colour involved. This is problematic. As I said in my other review, shoes do not have a gender. I would like to order any shoe in the pattern/colour I like. But especially please make solid black an option in all women's shoes. It's unbelievably sexist not to.

Recently I've done more mellow bird walking around in parks that don't necessarily need hiking shoes but where it's a flat trail. I've only had running shoes which I need to buy again. When I saw these sandals online and a friend recommended them to me, I decided to buy a pair.Best decision ever. I feel comfy wearing them bird walking, to work on my casual Fridays, and just in general. They're my favorite shoe I have now and I love them so much!

I really wish Teva had 1/2 sizes. The sandal is fairly comfortable, but my toes are right at the front edge of the sandal. I have purchased the next bigger size in Teva previously, but in that pair the sandal sticks out from my toes almost an inch, and I trip over the excess sometimes. The 1/2 size would likely be perfect.The straps are a little itchy, likely due to being made from recycled goods. The ring that holds the toe straps on one sandal tends to dig into my little toe while it is not an issue at all on the opposite sandal. The bumpiness of the footbed of the sandal becomes uncomfortable after walking around in them for a few hours.Teva used to make the most comfortable sandals ever and they were much higher quality than the last couple of pairs I have ...

I have a pair of Teva that are probably 20-30 years old that I've been nursing along because they are still my most comfortable pair. It's sad that Teva has gone from making great sandals to offering a larger number of styles that aren't nearly as well made.

I grew up in Florida with a pair of Tevas for kayaking and canoeing. They were great. All that was needed. I moved to NYC and had no need for them. I went to closed-toed Keens for rare water hikes and kayaking trips which were fine enough; once I started backpacking I got UL shoes with “xero drop” as camp shoes. I just never returned to Tevas for some reason. Wanted to try other things I guess. Until recently when I was so fed up with the uncomfortable and even dangerous camp shoes I had. Oh my gosh, I forgot how great Tevas are! Instant comfort! Instant. I recently took them on a camping/hiking trip to Colorado where I exhausted my body & feet and slipping them on was absolute heaven. Unlike my old camp shoes that actually hurt more.

Oh my gosh, I forgot how great Tevas are! Instant comfort! Instant. I recently took them on a camping/hiking trip to Colorado where I exhausted my body & feet and slipping them on was absolute heaven. Unlike my old camp shoes that actually hurt more. The cushion, the comfort of the straps, being able to adjust the different parts of the straps independently, so many instant improvements. I also wore them for a .8 mile dirt/rocky nature trail to some boulders and they felt good and supportive w/decent traction. I didn’t have a problem with sand or pebbles getting stuck into them. Walking around town was such a breeze and just felt right. Also, the moon design is super cute. They’re a little bulkier and a couple ounces more than my old shoes, but for me it is completely worth it. The added comfort and reliability far outweighs (pun not intended) the added weight & dimensions. I am SO happy I made the switch after two decades of try other brands. My travel mate had to listen to me swoon over how comfortable they are throughout the entire trip.

These shoes are cute and great for the beach, and the only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because they don't give blisters which is a huge plus in my book. However, there are so many cons including that the toe box is too long causing me to trip, they're intensely slippery when wet, and most of all, these hurt my feet like no other shoe. My ankles and lower legs hurt so badly after a normal day of wearing these to the point of me becoming grouchy. My lower legs and feet get so sore. Just yesterday, I wore them to the farmers market, a few stores, and walking around my house and I was in so much pain by the end of the day. I wore them on vacation a few times and felt the same way.

I got these versatile sandals for both walking around in the city for casual errands, and to wear on hikes. They’re comfortable, endlessly adjustable, the straps don’t rub, they’re easy to clean… there are so many positive things to say. However, every single time I’ve worn them, after about 20 minutes of walking, they squeak with EVERY. SINGLE. STEP. Like a loud clown shoe! This probably is a result of the specific amount my feet sweat, combined with the texture of the footbed of the shoe. I’m really hoping that after a “breaking in” period, this effect will subside, but who knows!

They are comfortable and light weight. There is slight arch support. My feet are sensitive and the, I don't know what you call them, joints/buckles? The plastic triangle and circular pieces that connect the straps, they are a bit uncomfortable on my feet, so I am wearing them to Toughen up my feet. As I said my feet are sensitive. I first bought the women's hydratek. Those have padding at the joint areas. So I bought these to toughen up my feet so I will not have any issues with those. 😊 when I wear these out, I will definitely buy again.
