TevaWomen's Tirra Sandal

Backstory- I have been wearing one pair of Chacos ZX/2 for years until finally a strap started to fray. So I bought a new pair of Chacos only to find the wonderful comfy and durable Vibram sole is no longer used. One day at Disney World and my feet/knees/hips were killing me from the lack of shock absorption in the Chacos. I needed a hiking sandal with more cushion. The Teva Tirra was my first stop.When I first tried them the footbed was like WOW especially in the sole. I could imagine a full day of walking on concrete not even phasing me with these babies. The sole seemed slightly higher than the front of the foot which is not exactly to my preference.The deal breaker was with the straps. As someone else said in a review the ankle strap is slightly higher on the ankle than it should be for free movement of the joint. I ignored the review and bought them anyway, thinking my ankles are slim so maybe they would work for me. Nope. As I would bend my foot the strap would feel too tight. When I loosened the strap to where it didn't pinch and squeeze my ankle when bending it provided zero support and might as well not have been there.The over-the-foot straps seemed to be positioned adequately and are adjustable which was nice. I have always found the regular Tevas straps to be too rigid for me and these straps reminded me why I chose Chacos in the first place. But as some people might strangely prefer this I wouldn't say it is necessarily a negative. There is a soft layer to protect your foot from the abrasive straps but I found the edges of where this is sewn on to actually be abrasive. Even though sizing was perfect (I always wear 8.5), I could foresee 100% chance of blisters, so I returned.Bering Sea color did not work for me even though I like blue (should have went with black!). It gave the shoes a nerdy, boyish and I wanted something feminine. I would have dealt with color if shoes were otherwise perfect.Pros: Amazingly cushiony footbed, better than I could have imagined. Bottom of shoe very grippy. True to size.Cons: Rigid straps, abrasive edges to straps, ankle strap too high up, stupid color selection

I used prime wardrobe to get these, so I got to try them on and loved the fit. Very comfortable. But after less than a month, the Velcro on the left shoe over the toes keeps coming loose. I have only adjusted that Velcro twice. When I first put the shoe on, and again to tighten it a bit. I've been walking in them to get them broken in for a trip. The first time I looked down and noticed the Velcro open, I figured I hadn't hooked it together well enough. Then it happened again, so I took extra care making sure the Velcro was securely fastened. But it keeps happening. Not right away, but randomly. I look down, and it's unfastened.I love how comfortable they are to walk in, but they shouldn't be having this problem, especially not with so little use.

I'm here simply because I love these sandals! Before I purchased these, I was on the hunt for a comfortable walking sandal that could handle lots of situations. I wanted to be able to walk on the beach, splash in the water, walk a few miles and not feel that I looked like too much of an outdoorsy "hippie." And I'm totally an outdoorsy hippie! I fell in love with these the moment I received them! I ordered the Simply Taupe and I liked the pink touches. I liked how I could easily adjust every strap and how they looked strappy but not messy. These still look clean and polished and I can wear them with hiking shorts, jeans or dresses, which make them great for travel. They are also incredibly comfortable and the thick foot bed protects and cushions my feet. I just purchased another pair in Plum Truffle and I plan on wearing them all over Europe this summer when I'm not wearing my hiking boots. I wear them all the time here in Florida, walking around town and to the beach. I know they look cute and will stand up to different types of terrain. I'm normally a 7.5/8 in all shoes and I took a 7.5 in these and they fit perfectly! Highly recommend these sandals!

Wore these sandals for the very first time on a hike in Grassmere, Lake District. Did a 13 Mile trek on totally unstable ground, up peaks and massive descents, all uneven stone and rocks! Not one bit of discomfort or any sign of blisters after over 4 hours in the red hot sun!! Can't recommend these Sandals enough, comfortable, stable and cool 😊 100% recommended

Initially, sandals felt really dense underfoot. Could feel the ridges in the rather firm foot-bed and feared these and the straps around ankles would cause friction over time. Was pleasantly surprised to return from a 100 minute country walk quite early on and before properly breaking them in, without a single blister. In fact, these are fast becoming my 'heavy duty' sandals. A size 5 does feel a trifle wide and large, (am 4.5 - 5) but better than having feet spilling out. Further, having flat feet, I like it that the foot is well-supported. It's always good to alternate shoes, but these are definitely a useful addition to my collection.

Not a patch on comfort compared to my other Teva sandals. There seems to be a ridge running across the arch of the foot. Don't know if this is supposed to be supportive but I found it just dug in & caused cramp in my foot.Also, very small on size, feet were right to the edge so offers no protection on stubbing the toes.Very disappointed, really wanted to like these!!

Finding comfortable sandals which are smart enough to wear in town and with a dress isn't easy but these fit the bill reasonably. The footbed is unexpected in its material but I have worn them and it doesn't generate friction heat against the foot and daylong wear and walking brought no rubs anywhere. And I was comfortable. I particularly appreciate no narrow straps across the broad part of the foot- the two adjustments there are excellent for comfort. Size as you expect. Recommended for anyone who can't survive with narrow straps and soles with no instep or ball comfort.

These are brilliant excellent fit and comfortable and great for uneven terrainI walk my dog on coastal beaches and cliff paths and when it’s hot in the summer these are great instead of boots and trainers .They grip well and cope with getting wet in showers or the sea -a quick rinse afterwards and they dry out fairly quickly -I’ve used them on boats as well as you feel confident you won’t slip and no problem if you’re feet get wet in themVery pleased with their performance would recommend
