Teva Toachi Sandals - Women's - 2008 BCS

Awful build quality! The stitching in the straps came out after about a month's use, I actually had to use one of my tent straps as a field repair. The sole that's designed to drain water from your feet to the ground works well, but it also works the other way around: If your sandals just stepped in some dog feces, yeah, your feet are actually stepping in dog feces. Once you step into something that smells bad, the sandals are almost impossible get properly clean again because of the sole's hollowness. You'll actually be walking around with a small chamber of disgusting smelly stuff under you feet. The other people writing reviews here are noobs, don't listen to them.

I bought mine abroad so I never had the option of returning them. I'm never buying tevas again! Yes, I'm actually angered by a pair of sandals :-)

These shoes look like a lizard tongue is sneaking up over your toe. Didn't like the stripe coming up over the toe at all. They were returned immediately.

I'm an avid gardener who lives in the Texas Hill Country, and these shoes are perfect for getting around my rather rocky, rough property without slipping or falling. The traction is excellent, even when the shoes and/or ground are wet. I also love the toe protection - I can't tell you how many times, when wearing other shoes, I have painfully stubbed a toe on a rock or stump, but never with these babies! The drainage is also excellent, and there is no itchy feeling when they get wet. And, while it's a hardly a priority for a hard-working shoe like this, I think they are rather attractive, but I may be prejudiced because they make working outside so safe and comfortable for me.

I've been having knee problems lately and had to get footwear with good support. The Teva's are very comfy, great for trekking and keep the feet nice and cool. Not exactly the most stylish of shoe, in fact they pretty much kill any outfit, but then again practical rarely equates to stylish. Word of warning - never wear them with socks, the fashion police will arrest you on sight!

These are my favorite shoes ever! They feel just like tennis shoes, only they are open and cool. The toe protection is nice. I even play soccer in them! Size is true to tennis shoe size. They are very cute too.
