Good inexpensive Teva - for arch support, get the Hurricane
355255
I got these for vacation - comfortable enough but not as supportive as the Hurricanes.  However, for the money and purpose (beachy hiking), just fine.  Did get a sore spot near my little toe where all the strapping meets after first day but I expect that there is some breaking in with any hiking sandal and it didn't stop me from slapping on a bandaid and wearing the rest of the week.  Tevas always feel very secure.

I've been a fan of Tevas for years. I purchased both a Terra Fi Lite and an Original Universal this year as my old ones fell apart in Africa. The Terra Fi is good for more serious hiking situations - those are the ones I will probably take to the field where you really need strength and comfort combined. However, for a summer of light activities in Europe, the Original Universals were great. I wanted to have sandals that were comfy but could also be worn with a casual skirt, and in to the university for lab work without looking like I was in my "field clothes", but also would work for some moderate walks and hikes on the weekends. I was also moving between several locations so wanted to pack light. The Teva Original Universals were a great pick for this situation. I could wear them for the 1-mile walk to the Institute every morning and evening, and even if it rained they didn't look trashed. They looked reasonably respectable in the lab, and for social occastions I could pair them with a casual skirt and top without looking like I had Serious Clunker Footwear. Weekends I could wear them for half-day hikes with gentle slopes in perfect comfort. These are not your heavy duty hiking sandals (for that, get the Terra Fi Lite) but still an extremely useful, versatile shoe to have.

This is my firs pair of Tevas.  I was hesitant to spend this much on sandals, as I've never really been able to wear them all day due to problems with arch support, blistering, or just plain foot fatigue.  These. Are. Amazing.  I wore these with zero breaking-in period to Disney World.  On average we were walking 7+ miles each day for a week. Of course, when we weren't walking we were standing in long lines.  I found myself actually preferring these over my very expensive and very comfortable running shoes.  This is saying a great deal about these sandals because I swear by my running shoes!  I had concerns about the arch support when I tried them on, it felt a little less than what I thought I might need, but as it turns out they were fine.  Everyone else in my party was complaining about their foot pain, but not me!  I am sold on Teva sandals now and doubt I'll look for anything else!

I'VE PURCHASED OTHER BRANDS ON AMAZON, AND HAVE HAD TO RETURN A TWO PAIRS OF SHOES DUE TO EITHER POOR WORKMANSHIP, OR SIZING PROBLEMS. I'VE NEVER HAD NEITHER ISSUE WITH TEVA AND CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON A GREAT SHOE AT A GREAT PRICE HERE!

I last tried on a Teva sandal in the 1990s when they were flat (uncontoured to the foot) and hard.  Fine for river rafting, but not for lots of walking.  "Today's" Teva has the ergonomic contours to hold one's foot the right way and has a decently cushioned heel.

Was not familiar with "Teva" but am always looking for a well made light hiking shoe that can cross over to casual wear. Normally wear size 13 M. After reading the reviews determined that a size 14 would be a good bet. They do run small, so the 14 was perfect. Very comfortable, with firm support. Nice cushion, stable, but not bouncy. Think "Teva" is a good alternative to the $150 + hiker that may not deliver on value. Just goes to show that moderate cost can provide a good result.

I have worn Teva sandals since they were first introduced, and I've always loved them...especially the Basics and the Hurricanes. I hope you'll keep making them ad infinitum. I honestly haven't liked the more elaborate - and more expensive - models nearly as much. Simple is good. Thanks for making such a good product.

I wear a narrow shoe...Teva's with Velcro straps like these are adjustable enough that they fit fine.  These will be really cute for 4th of July outfits.  The straps were a little stiff on these but still fairly comfortable.  While these are fine for casual day wear, I wouldn't wear them on a long walk.

Swapped these out for Teva Hurricanes which are more comfortable (softer sole), and much much lighter. Lack of half sizes meant I was stuck between too small or huge, which wasn't going to work given how heavy they are.

Bought 2 pairs (2 different sizes) for myself and my son to use as volleyball shoes.  The shoe seems well built and has great traction on the indoor court surfaces. My son has used the shoes right out of the box for 2 multi-day camps and a small tournament -- without any additional break-in. The shoe has virtually no built in arch support, but it takes an insert well. It seems built for a low volume foot, which works well for both his and my feet.  For the price, I'm impressed.  I can't quite give them 5 stars because the built in support is poor, and the sizing makes ordering a bit of a crap shoot. We got lucky on our size choices (thanks to the comments of previous reviewers). I normally wear a 10 (in a Nike) -- narrow shoes are better if available. I ordered a 9.5 for myself and it fits with ample length. My son is a young teen and growing like a weed, so we wanted some room to grow while still being a good fit for his narrow feet. This purchase really worked out very well for us.

I LOVE these shoes! This is my 3rd pair. Like Teva's sandals, they use the strap system, therefore are almost completely adjustable. The arch support is great, as is the cushioning. I use these for my water aerobics classes and they get a beating(!!) from the hyper-chlorination of the pool. The first pair seemed to loose some of its cushioning after 1 1/2 years, 3 times a week. I don't usually wear them for long periods of time, though I have on occasion worn them out and about. My current pair is just fine (6 months), but I wanted a pair for outside the pool. I bought this pair because ****Teva no longer offers these shoes for women on their site****!

Picked these up in the black/red color with no real regrets.  I have a moderately wide size 11 foot and these fit pretty well, though they run a little narrow and it took some breaking in to get 'em feeling just right - but no need to upsize for me.  They feature a thick, beefy outsole that promises to last a long time and have a seriously good tread pattern.  They also offer really good support for both the bottoms of the feet and the sides, cradling the foot nicely without feeling too tight or uncomfortable.  They feature Teva's removable "Mush Infused" insert, which isn't very thick and feels a lot like most other inserts, but it does the job just fine.  The Event waterproof lining has performed well and I haven't noticed any problems with the shoes not breathing sufficiently.
Overall these are a good shoe.  They're suitable for outdoor pursuits, especially given the waterproofing, and will double as casual wear just fine, and they are comfortable and durable.  I'm bumping them down one star because there's just something about them aesthetically that doesn't thrill me.  The really thick outsoles are a plus, but they are so thick that the shoe ends up looking just a tad odd despite an otherwise attractive design.  Not a big deal and I would still recommend these as a quality outdoor shoe.

I got these for my wife.  She like Tevas and likes the Olowahu style the best.  Her heel doesn't slide to the left or right.  They also have a bit of an arch.  The only thing, they're made of a cushy material that eventually loses support.  Not a complain, just the way they are.  Course, they are sandals and usually cost less than $20 a pair.  Also, The Olowahu comes in lots of colors.  So, you can buy many pair. :-)

Great price on a high quality sandal! Another addition to my Teva lineup!

They look good and feel good on.  Arch support mediocre for my high arch.  Will see how they endure hiking rough terrain.
My last Teva amphib's lasted 8 years, so I'm optimistic.  I can see that the 2 holes over the toes could allow sand and pebbles to enter, which would be problematic.  Teva should consider re-engineering that part of the design.

Neva typically makes a good sandal for extended active wear, and these are no exception. They are a thick model, and that gives them a reasonable amount of spring and cushion, if you plan to spend a long day on your feet. They have the usual configuration of velcro straps, so you customize the fit to your liking. This is wider model than some other Tevas, so if you have a narrow foot, I would advise you to consider a different model. As with other Tevas I have had, they have held up well, as the construction is solid. If you need a sandal for rugged outdoor use, look no further, these sandals will fulfill the expectations that you have of Teva.

good-looking,looks to be well made. Could have more arch support
