Review: My go-to summer footwear - Genuinely the comfiest, well-made sandals I've ever owned. I have (extra) wide feet and prefer a flexible "barefoot"-style sole and these are perfect for that. They don't have a ton of arch support or general structure, but that's a plus in my case. They are very sturdy, I took these on a 1 mile "easy" hike (that nearly took me out; there were significant elevation changes, steep sections, and places where the trail was completely washed out) and came out no worse for wear minus a bit of sand hitching a ride. They cleaned up easily with a gently scrub and some dish soap once I got home. They've become my go-to summer shoe with how easy they are to throw on and go. Even in the rain, I'd rather have wet feet than wet socks, and they aren't slippery at all.
Review: I've learned to like these.. - I've had these sandals for about 3 years now and feel like I can give them an honest review. They're thin. Almost flip-flop thin. But that's understandable and a good thing for me. The very first Teva sandals were flip-flops with 2 watch bands attached to secure the sandals to the inventor's feet. So the name of these sandals say it all. The compact size is great for a light packer, like me, taking up very little space in my bag. The EVA footbed is squishy and comfortable. The raised waffle pattern helps keep my feet dry & comfortable. And the microban treatment keeps the sandals smelling like new. Teva's Durabrasion rubber sole feels like it'll last quite a long time. I use my sandals for light to medium walking; walking on resort property and around the city. I don't go hiking in these (would you hike in flip-flops?). Now for the bad news. The toe strap on the left sandal digs into my pinky toe. This seems to be a common problem with some people. My solution was to loosen the toe strap until it stopped digging into my toe. Of course I had to adjust the right sandal to match. The ankle straps are fairly snug to prevent the sandals from slipping off my feet. The length is about a 1/2" too long for my feet. I wear an 8.5-9, depending on the manufacturer, and I bought these in size 9. Most Teva sandals can be adjusted behind the heel, but not these. There are only 2 adjustment points, the toes and the ankles. So after my adjustments there is about 3/4" behind my heels and my toes are almost to the front edge. Another small peeve I have is that the Velcro straps feel like Velcro tape, very thin. Overall though, I like these sandals because they're light and comfortable, have a bit of arch support, have rubber soles for traction & durability, and perform well enough for my purposes all in a compact size.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go-to summer footwear

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Totally different type of sandal than Chacos
*by R***Y on June 22, 2018*

I am very happy with these. I had initially bought Chacos, buying into the hype of the strapping system and the durability. Unfortunately, the molded heel bed for Chacos do not fit my feet at all and hurt a lot. I returned those and went with the main competitors, Teva. I'm very glad I did. These fit my feet much better. They have a somewhat molded foot bed, but the material is softer and compresses under my weight more. The velcro on the straps is a bit annoying, but I find these easier to get on and off than Chacos. The heel strap sits more across my heel than my Achilles tendon and it feels very secure. I have run around in these without them slipping off. The strap that goes around the front of my ankle sits a bit high, making them feel secure around the ankle. The only problem I had, as other reviewers noted, was the plastic triangle where the three straps near the toes meet. Only on my right foot it caused pressure on the protruding joint near my small toe. But, since the triangles are not equilateral, I was able to rotate the one causing pain and have not had an issue since. Comparing these against standard Chacos, they are obviously not as durable. If you need something as durable as Chacos, I'm sure Teva makes a closer competitor that will be equally as durable (and expensive). The footbed is a relatively soft EVA material, which is comfortable to walk on out of the box. The outsole is a little bit stiffer rubber, but nothing like the Vibram/Chacogrip outsoles on Chaco that can be resoled and are highly durable. My typical uses for these outside of day to day wear is hiking and biking. I will wear these for only the mildest of trails, whereas I would trust the Chacos more for rugged terrain, but they will give my feet some rest if I've been wearing my hiking shoes a lot. That said, these weigh significantly less than Chacos, so using these as camp shoes isn't as arduous as hauling around a pair of 1lb sandals. I've been biking to and from work in these, and they work great. They certainly aren't high performance, stiff soled shoes, but they work better than running shoes and my feet don't slide around on the pedals with these on.
