TevaTerra Fi Lite mens Hiking Sandals

Very light and comfortable, the heel shockpad really is soft and comfy.My left foot is bigger in 1 cm and it is wider but the sizing is great and the fit is snug.

I was a Teva sandal wearer for years. My first pair lasted for exactly ten years. My second pair, similar to the Terra Fi, but an early 2000's model, fell apart before the two year mark. Both of these models were the most comfortable shoe I had ever worn. Period. However, frustrated by the poor quality of that latter pair and moving towards close-toed designs, I opted for a pair of Chacos.The Chacos were well made and an interesting design... in fact they were so well made they just haven't quit. I did notice the Chacos seemed increasingly to be pinching my footbed and I had gotten to the point where I just wanted a new pair of sandals and was moving back in favor of an open-toe design.Circa 2014 I found the Terra Fi Lite's here on Amazon and the reviews were excellent. I could sense from the photography that these sandals were a very similar design to the last pair of Teva's I had had and the Terra Fi's looked very comfortable. I ordered them.Well, let me tell you, this is an excellent sandal right out of the box. I picked up the neutral black color. The webbing features a deep, dark dye, and the black goes with any outfit. The nylon webbing on these sandals is thick and supportive. My size 11 fit is perfect. I wear an 11 in boots, sneakers, and these Teva's feel like a custom fit. Quality is excellent. The tread is aggressive and even this morning, out in a campsite, I was moving gear in and out of my truck and this sandals anchored my feet right into the soft mineral soil.The biggest deal however is the cushioning. As I have aged my feet have become very sensitive and I have a lot of problems with shoe comfort and might even be suffering the effects of an early-onset osteoarthritis on the footbed. In the course of my day I often carry a heavy backpack around +/- 15 pounds, and these Teva's support the weight of my pack and with each step I feel the cushioning effect on my footbed and it even feels like the cushioning radiates up into my knees! The cooling effect of the open toe is very appreciated in the triple digit heat where I live and work.Now, I have had these sandals for only about a week so I have no idea where the long-term quality is on these things. Will wait and see and update on Amazon if there are any problems. Hopefully that last pair of Teva's I had was an anomaly.My recommendation presently is... If you have foot issues, want an open-toed sandal, that is comfortable, supportive, looks good and breathes in the hot weather, you will not be disappointed with the Terra Fi's.*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************2017 Update... These sandals are everything I said they were but they started wearing through during the second summer (2015). I was able to get another year out of them but had worn holes in the tread by 2016 and now in 2017 they are being replaced with a pair of Teva Sandborn (sp?) sandals. These are continue to be the most comfortable shoes I own including my sneakers, boots, and other types of sandals but the quality of the tread/sole is garbage and I have little doubt I could probably wear through the sole on these things in one heavy year of use i.e. May - November. I am discontinuing purchasing of these sandals.

Seller gave good delivery service. Sandals from Teva are durable and very comfortable. Hard plastic parts are now well covered & cushioned (this was a minor problem on some earlier models) these can been worn for long periods straight out of the box without chaffing problems. This is my third pair of Teva sandals and I have never had a problem with wear with any of them (the old pairs are still in my cupboard and perfectly useable). Recommended.

Schade finde ich nur, dass der Klettverschluss jedesmal aktiv geschlossen werden muss und man den nicht voreinstellen kann um dann den Riemen über eine Schnalle zu schließen; so war es bei meinen bisherigen Tevas. Ansonsten bewährt robuste Qualität und angenehmes Tragegefühl bei Trekking.

Für einen Preis von rund 56 Euro gekauft und dieser geht für dieses Schuhwerk schon noch in Ordnung. Tragen sich echt gut. Hatte vorher andere von Teva bestellt aber diese waren zu lIghtweight und die Sohle gerade wie ein Brett, total unbequem diese also. Hier mit diesem Modell dann nun sehr zufrieden bin. Gute Sohlenform und somit hoher Tragekomfort.
