Teva Hurricane Drift, Women's Ankle Strap Sandal

I bought a blue pair from Teva on Amazon a few years ago. Great shoes, I love them. Wear them every summer, take them on holiday. Comfy, versatile, light, great grip and can be worn in the sea. Dry very quickly and easy to clean. I have wide feet and they fit perfectly.But then, this year I tried to order the exact same style of hurricane drift, in "birch". I ordered the same size, UK 7 / US 9 (I am usually a UK 7.5, wide foot). The new birch pair arrived, with the same size markings as the blue pair I already own, on both the tags and stamped into the base of the shoe. The style is identical. But this birch pair is noticeably smaller than my blue pair, by approx 1 size. It's a shame because the birch colour is nice, but I have had to return them. I would say the birch pair is more suitable for a size 6 - 6.5, and the blue size 7 pair are for a size 7.5. Beware!

Very comfortable, I am a size 7, I bought size 7 and they fit perfectly. I walk the dog across fields, on the beach and around the park. These shoes are great, wet dew on the grass, no problem, sea water, no problem, just runs off and dries quickly. I bought the cream which are lovely and I’m going to buy a darker pair.

I was looking for a lightweight waterproof shoe to wear to the beach that would be comfortable enough to walk in (on pavements/concrete etc.) but also easy to clean and take on and off at the beach. These sandals are fab, they are seriously lightweight, it's like wearing a cloud! They are comfortable to walk around in, I wore them for a whole day with no blisters or sore spots. Giving them a 4 star only because the sizing is weird. I had read reviews saying they come up big, so I bought a whole size down (size 5, I am normally a UK 6). The size 5 fits perfectly, however there is a slight weird gap to the right of my big toe. Almost like they designed the toe strap to be placed too far forward on the shoe.. However, it has not affected the comfort or fit of the shoe and they stay on well and are still nice to wear. It just seems like a slight oversight in the design!

Hands down my favourite everyday sandals! I’ve had these Tevas for a few years now and they’ve held up brilliantly. Since they're a lighter shade, I clean them often, but the rubber-like material makes them effortless to wash and dry fast. 10/10 comfort!

Add 1 size up. Quality, durable and comfortable. Used it on a trek to Dorset for 6miles/6hours.

Should definitely be 0 stars as this was supposed to be quality shoes for walking. Material is plastic and the appearance is cute for wearing with the outfit but it is not a good fit for distance walking. Color is okay, the value for money is not worth it. Durability of the shoes is okay.

Amazing shoe, am recovering from an ankle injury and these shoes are so supportive

Size 4 my toes went over the edge and found the insole uncomfortable waste of time ordering ,crocs are more comfortable

...sehr gutes LAufgefühl, passt sich an den Fuss an, leicht, stabil. Leider fallen die Größen etwas klein aus. Dh ich habe 39, das ist "ok", aber etwas größer (minimal) wäre perfekt.

I ordered these in my customary size (7.5M) and also a size down (7M). On previous Teva purchases I have had to size down, and also I was able to find the color I liked best (blue) in 7M but not 7.5M (which only had red available on sale). So I was hoping the 7Ms would work out.SIZE AND COLOR: Well, when the two pairs arrived I tried them on. The 7M was definitely too narrow - I could get them on, but the velcro was running pretty short which spoiled the look. Also the blue color I liked on screen wasn't as attractive in real life. I think that's because the footbed is a very pale grey. I could see that it would probably get dirty-looking, and it just looked kind of funny to have such a pale footbed with medium/dark strapping. When I tried on the 7.5M the fit was PERFECT, and much to my surprise I liked the red with the dark grey footbed. (I'm more of a blue person normally.) So to sum up: Yes, order your normal size, even if you have previously sized down for Tevas. And pay close attention to the footbed color as this really affects how they will look when you're wearing them.TEVAS vs. CHACOS?There have been a lot of discussions of this in the gear-head literature these days. Many gear stores say Chacos are better than Tevas. As a longtime Teva fan I decided to try Chacos when I was able to get a set on sale. They came new at the same time as these Tevas. The Chacos are much stiffer. I use them for hilly garden work and for when I need serious protection hiking on a pebbly beach. But the Tevas are much more comfortable all round. Chacos make my feet feel "strapped on" to an unforgiving surface, whereas Teva soles shape to my foot better and the strap positioning makes my feet feel better. If I had to do an all-day desert hike in varied terrain I am confident that the Teva Terra Fi would make my feet comfortable all day. I don't hate the Chacos, but I probably won't repeat the Chaco purchase whereas I will definitely keep on ordering Tevas forever.TEVA TERRA FI vs. TEVA ORIGINAL UNIVERSAL?I also ordered a pair of Teva Original Universal sandals on a real bargain, and to see if they felt as good as the original Tevas I got way back in the early 1990s. The Originals are more attractive than the Terra Fis - you could probably pair them with a casual skirt whereas wearing the Terra Fis with a casual skirt would look ridiculous. Teva Original Universals also weigh a lot less. However, compared against the Terra Fis, Teva Originals are not very robust. Use the Originals for a trip with light activities where you are traveling light and hoping to look nice as well. Use the Terra Fi for a trip with lots of all-day hikes, where you either aren't planning to dress up EVER or have room for a (different) pair of dressy shoes.SUMMARY:Terra Fis are a happy medium between Chacos (stiff and robust) and Teva Originals (light but not so robust). Terra Fis are supple yet strong. If you are getting one pair of sandal for moderate to serious desert hiking this would be my choice.

Very comfortable and fits just right. Great deal - they were on sale. I like the non marking sole, will be good for boating.

I'm a loyal Teva customer and have been wearing my 16-year-old Mush on 3/4 mile hikes to and from our family's favorite beach. I love them, but the flip-flops are tough with that kind of terrain. When I saw these, I knew they would be the perfect solution. They look like Tevas, but they're extraordinarily lightweight but durable. These will absolutely make for a comfortable hike out, will be great on the beach, and easy to rinse off for the hike back. I read several reviews suggesting I order down a size, which was terrific advice. I'm normally an 8, but the 7's fit me perfectly!

Verursacht, wenn täglich getragen, Druck- und offene Stellen am Fuss, weil die Haut aufreibt. Für gelegentlichen Einsatz, vor allem im Wasser liebe ich sie aber.
