Teva Sandales noir

No, I do not recommend. I purchased these sandals last season & used them while kayaking/or on paddleboard. They were used in summer season only. The base of the sandal has separated on both shoes and now they are useless. I attempted to return to REI and was out of the return window, and I was told that these are not water shoes and there would not be an exception made for this defective product. I am unlikely to choose Teva sandals again after this experience.

I’ll admit it I was influenced in buying these. I noticed a lot of influencers wearing them and a few articles and calling them one of the best sandals so I figured I’ll splurge. As someone who walks 5 miles a day, these gave me 5 blisters on each foot. Initially, I thought a size 7, then had about an inch of space from my toe to the end of the sandal so I got a size 6 instead and it went downhill from there. I’d rather wear crocs.

These were my first Teva Sandals - I absolutely loved the floral print I got and the fact they were midform instead of full on platforms. They were very stylish and easy to style with any outfit - BUT they hurt so much to walk in. I tried several times with different strap adjustments but nothing really worked. Maybe it is because I have wide feet but I do NOT recommend these for comfortability, it was specifically the outer strap that caused this.

I bought them in May of this year but just returned them less than 5 months later because the bottom was peeling off in the front and back. So disappointed! I really loved them. They are super cute, worked well in cities and on hikes, perfect for the water. Will try some other styles that look studier next…

I purchased my “adventure sandals” in August 2024. I used them as intended for camping, travel, and running errands. This summer, July 2025, I noticed one of them was becoming unglued. When I looked at my other sandal it was REALLY unglued. So much so that I was afraid they were going to come apart while wearing. After checking reviews online I saw that this was a reported issue from a few users. Disappointing since these were just under a year old. We took them to REI and they did swap for us, but advised if it happened again I should pick a different sandal. I love the midform height, and love these for travel. But super disappointed with the quality. I hope these last for more than a year!
