Teva Unisex-Adult Kids Hurricane Drift Sandal

What can I say? I was originally skeptical when my GF said try these. I ordered the first pair in white (not shown), and tried it for a week.My first impressions:This is the first set of Teva's I've ever owned that I'm not embarrassed to wear all over the place. They don't look like sports, hiking, or adventure sandals like the rest of their product line looks like. Meaning "hippie" hiking, biking, kayaking, running type of sport sandals. They can dress up or down. I've worn them to the beach, and even worn them (the black one) with a dress at a dinner event, and I got nothing but compliments, and shock from the ladies when I told them they're TEVAS.The different hues are very pleasant and stylish. Any of the colors can go with almost any color outfit. They fit and feel so nice. The material is almost like a "crocs" type of material. There's no fabric or webbing like normal Teva sandals, there's no synthetic or leather footbed, so (thankfully) these don't seem to withhold that "stink feet" (EEW) smell.Easy to wash, easy to clean. Just hose them off if used at the beach, or gently scrub them with a sponge or gentle nylon toothbrush if used in the dirt. The front strap is not adjustable; the top (ankle) strap is velcro and is adjustable to a certain extent. I keep the strap snug, not tight. It helps NOT to have that ankle strap too loose, that will lead to chaffing believe it or not, rather than keeping it loose. But not too tight! Or your foot will lose circulation which is WORSE.I get a lot of compliments, for those of you who like attention that you get from wearing NICE shoes, sandals, slippers. Since I live in Hawaii we have a mostly flip flop, sandal type of culture, and these are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for that purpose.The black and white ones are the most versatile: I've worn the black one with a dress to dinner and another time to a business function. The white one I've worn to a friend's wedding. I was the most comfortable lady there, I guarantee it! It's normally hard to find nice white sandals to wear to moderate to classy events, and the white ones, well cared for and clean, fit the bill.I didn't think to take pictures of me wearing the white ones, sorry! LOL!!!I can't speak highly enough of these. So far I have one each of the white, black, lake green, and mango sandals. I love these.The fit? Well they're about 1/4" too long, but that's minor. You don't really want to size them too close from heel to toe anyway, otherwise if you use them for hiking or walking, you'll stub your toes all the time. Also, the front strap, sized oh so lightly too large (1/2 size up), sits right on the top of where what you'd call the toe first "knuckles" lie, and feels the best, for me anyway. The toes are allowed to bend and flex, you can still wiggle them and lift your toes for flexibility and comfort.Good for dirt, sand, water, mud, and (cleaned off carefully) even a night out on the town if you wanna make a fashion statement? Wear a white dress with mango sandals? Yes! You can do it with this one if you want to. Wear mango (orange) designer glasses and you'll set a fashion statement!!!

I bought these for my birthday trip to Niagara Falls. We did the boat ride that goes right up to the falls. You get really wet lol. They were perfect and sturdy. Dried quickly once out of water and good for walking around the Clifton Hill area.I’m usually between 8 and 9. Bought the 9. Thought they looked a little big as I had room in the front and back but that didn’t affect comfort, support or stability.

My partner and I bought a pair for a 7 day cruise to the Carribeans. They were perfect for daily walking, excursions and the beach. They were comfortable, easy to dry off/clean, and matches well with outfits. We did size down as the reviews suggested, and they fit perfectly. I usually wear a 6 1/2 and got a 6, he usually wears a 10 1/2 and got a 10.

I’m keeping these shoes because I’m out of time for vacation and these are good enough. I got a size 10 in the birch.Pros:-The color is beautiful. It looks pretty white in the pictures but it’s more of a light bone/beige color.-Ankle strap can go pretty tight-Comfy, cushion-yCons-I am a true size 10 and the length of these is totally fine but the front strap is way loose. I tried a size 9 and it was too small. If they had a 9.5 available that probably would have been the perfect size.Concerned about the lack of support as my foot may wiggle around a bit and I am just getting over a metatarsal stress fracture. I would half size down for anyone purchasing these unless you have wide feet.

So comfortable and cute! No break in or blisters and they feel so soft. Will definitely be getting more colors.

I am glad I read the reviews and listened to them. I wear an 8W/EU39 and ordered these in a size 7, which was a good call, these fit me well. I would say they run a full size larger than the similarly styled Hurricane Xlt2, which I ordered in a size 8, fit me perfectly, and have about the same size footbed as the Drifts in a 7. The Drift's footbed might even be a tiny bit larger despite being a size smaller. So, while I did order a size that fit me, I rated the fit as "too large" because I am certain these would have been much too large for me in my usual size.I bought these because I was in the market for an active style sandal and these were on sale for a very good price. I realized that these are the same material Crocs are made of, and I figured these would let me try out what a Croc might be like without actually having to order a pair of Crocs. I also hoped they might be great sandals for the beach and campground showers.They are cute, lightweight, and very comfy. The front strap is not too tight for my feet. The ankle strap doesn't quite sit flat on my foot, but it's not a dealbreaker, and the fact that there is only one slightly adjustable velcro strap on these means they're quick to get on and off compared to other Teva styles.I wore them on a day trip to the Oregon Coast, where I got to test them out at several beaches. These are great for going in the water, but the straps trapped a lot of sand against my feet which made me feel like I was wearing sandals made of sandpaper until I could get rinsed off -- that was very uncomfortable and pretty disappointing. They also didn't feel the most secure on uneven and rocky terrain; the looseness of the front strap meant my foot would slide around in the sandal. I probably won't be wearing them to the beach again, at least not in the Pacific Northwest where the beaches are either very fine sand or full of rocks. I'm also concerned about the visible wear on the ball of the treads after just one day; these are definitely on the more casual end of the active sandal spectrum and not nearly as sturdy as the Hurricane Xlt2s.The weight and material do make them great for walking around, I can't imagine my feet getting tired in these, and I don't think they're going to give me blisters. I still think they'll make a good campground sandal, great for that first morning trip to the restrooms when you're still in your PJs, and to wear in the showers. I wouldn't buy a pair at full price but for what I paid for them, I am happy to have them.
