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. This brand meets Nordstrom Responsible Brands criteria: TEVA has committed to science-based climate action, with targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the latest climate science.

So comfortable!

I wore these straight out of the box to Disneyland. I walked the whole day with out any discomfort. Just make sure to adjust the straps to your feet. So comfy!!!

Cute but not durable - broke on day one of my trip

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.

Prickly Footbed

Cute slim beach/pool sandal. I detest the prickly footbed. I took the advice of another reviewer and sanded down the footbed. Now I can enjoy these Tevas.

POOR QUALITY

I did not want to believe other reviews because I love Teva. But, these broke on the third day of my trip with only light wear. Terrible. Teva also did not respond to my two requests regarding getting this addressed with their warranty despite email and chat. Terrible x2. I rarely leave reviews. But, this left a terrible taste in my mouth.

Inconsistent Designs

Sole is super comfortable and love the design, unfortunately the straps are all inserted without measurement - possibly all designed by hand. The left back strap was inserted into the sole a few centimeters more inward than the right, so my back heel steps directly on the strap each and every time making it incredibly uncomfortable to walk in. I can see this creating a blister if worn for more than 30 mins. Unfortunately I had to return.

I wanted to love them

However the thin straps dug into the sides of my baby toe. I have pretty narrow feet and does not experience this in the wider strap teva’s
