TevaWomen's Verra Sandal

Back in the early 2000's, my parents always wore the clunky, bright-colored, water shoe Teva sandals. I used to make fun of them because they were so hideous so it's been an ongoing joke in our family that I would never wear them....I just assumed all Tevas were fugly because of the ones my parents wore. The joke was on me when I told them I ordered a pair of Tevas for an upcoming medical mission trip to Guatemala!I wanted a pair of not-flip-flop sandals that I could walk around comfortably in for long periods of time, didn't take up alot of space in my pack (I only brought two pairs of shoes for the whole week, Merrell sneakers for working & hiking and these for everything else), could be worn in the water if needed...AND that aren't a complete eye sore. These were probably the most attractive, versatile sandals that met all of the things I was looking for.They are VERY comfortable and look good with pretty much everything! The strappy style makes it easy to dress up with a sundress, and the bungee cord color in particular looks great with jeans (I'm in my twenties if that matters at all). A bunch of other girls on the trip complimented and asked where I got them.As far as sizing goes, I usually wear a 9.5 wide if available because I have super flat and wide feet due to a genetic extra bone on both of my cankles (thanks dad). I read the reviews that these shoes were long so I went with size 9, which was the right choice! The normal width works for wide feet. The arch support on these shoes is perfect...it's just enough to help flat feet, without forcing too much of an arch that it causes foot pain. The sole is thick and sturdy, while still being relatively lightweight, which really helped when walking on the cobblestone streets of Antigua, Guatemala. I did a short easy hike in these shoes, but I would not recommend them as your only hiking shoes. If your feet get dirty they rinse of easily with water. I am traveling to Europe this summer for 2 weeks and plan on only bringing a backpack again so this will be the only pair of sandals I bring! The only negative I can think of is that my boyfriend still thinks they look a little geeky, but who cares what he thinks :PThese shoes were well worth the $50 and will continue to be throughout my summer travels and camping trips in California. Now I see all the hype about Teva that my parents tried convincing me of for years! Yay Teva!

Let me start by saying I have very oddly shaped feet lol. I got them scanned at a running store once and every measurement was at the far end of their average spectrum. So while my length measures around a size 5.5-6 I'm in the 95th percentile for width so I usually have to wear a 7-7.5 wide shoe. All that to say this sandal is the best for my extra wide feet!I've had these about 3 months and I have put them to the test! Few days after purchase I spent 4 days in Vegas wearing these the whole time and walking 20,000+ steps a day around the strip. No blisters! And although my feet did hurt at the end of the day it was tired hurt from walking way more than usual and not the shoes fault. Next we did 3 days at Disneyland with days near 30,000 steps (one day was 15 miles of walking!). Again no blisters! I pretty much wear these anytime I'm not at work where I'm required to wear closed toed shoes since I got them. And after all the crazy use I've given them the last 3 months and they barely show any wear! Very very happy with this purchase! They are lightweight but still tough and comfortable. I also like that you can adjust both the ankle straps and the toe strap so people with weirdly shaped feet like me can adjust these easily.

Comfortable, classic style, great arch support

First, I have to say that I was nervous about a practical sandal looking this nice when on, and am pleased to report, they are super cute whether with pants, shorts, etc. The color is also great (more of a deep purple which gives a little more flair than black). They are also very well made and high quality -- even in pricier shoes, sometimes you'll see a bit of glue or bits that aren't PERFECTLY executed; in this case, everything about this sandal was. And, initially I swear I could have gone dancing in them.Here's the DRAT:* HOT:After wearing them around the house for about 2 1/2 hours, my feet were HOT. I mean, it was maybe 64 degrees inside and they eventually started sweating. Now, I'm a warm person normally but to put it in perspective, instead of wearing a sweatshirt and pants with socks and slippers and being comfortable, I was wearing a t-shirt and pants and these sandals. And my feet were hot; like sweat hot. As in, unless you have perfectly pedicured feet, expect these will give you that experience...* COMFORTWell, I did feel like I could go dancing in them but alas after wearing them for a couple of hours, my (left) foot started feeling achy in the ball of my foot. I can't say this is common for me and If I wear poorly made shoes, both feet hurt, not one. That said, it did initially feel highly comfortable and did give support, but drat; I wanted this to be a constant walking sandal with style. Also keep in mind we have hardwood floors everywhere so on concrete sidewalks/etc. I'm just not sure if it would be worst or the same.I did find the fit pretty true to size (I'm a tried and true shoe size of 10). Only one other item (as other reviewers have stated) is that there is a little too much room in front of the toes. I didn't find that this was an issue at all with the look, but twice (up the stairs once, then stepping over a door jamb), the front part almost caught. Drat again; while you can tighten the straps, there is still a little of give on the front toe. Once I "re-strapped" myself in to the tightest setting, it just wasn't serving my feet that well, so that did not solve the problem.All in all, I was so excited to love these, and even for the price tried to talk myself into it but alas; not for me. Perhaps for a younger person (under 40), these are not issues, but again, drat.I'm still giving the shoe 4 stars and I'm pretending that for a one star deduction, I'm unique with feet that get warm anyway, and maybe I have a deformed left foot that I don't know about....So sadly

Really like these. The footbed is comfortable though there is not much arch support. Attractive without bring sporty. Good fit.

A little expensive, but seems to be better than any others my wife looked at. Fits perfectly, and are comfortable.

Comfortable right out of the box, good arch support and stability. The straps seemed long but as my feet swelled up a little in the heat I was able to adjust them which made a big difference. Also I love the color as it goes with everything.

I have owned multiple pairs of Tevas over the years and always found them comfortable and durable. This style is cute and would work well if you have very slender ankles. My ankles are average sized and I find the ankle strap is too short and the velcro is placed so far over that it has to be uncomfortably tight around my ankle in order to close. I am returning them and have purchased another style that fits fine.

Se las regalé a mi esposa y 10 todo perfecto

Las sandalias normales me cansan y este calzado me hace sentir ligera

habe diese Schuhe bereits, nun Paar auf Reserve

Unglaublich bequeme Schuhe. Nichts scheuert oder drückt. Es läuft sich gut darauf.
