I love these "sandals"!! The are very comfortable and sturdy. I've had Tevas in the past and they hold up great, I expect these to last me years. The adjustments across the foot as well as at the heel are a plus. These do run true to size. I usually wear a 6.5 but read the reviews that you should size up, so I ordered a 7, but they were too big, so I returned (was super easy) and ordered the 6.5 and they fit perfect. The only thing I'm not crazy about is they are not easy to put on. You really have to pull on the heel, but I guess that's why they fit so good. I got the gray blue color and it's exactly as pictured, very good neutral colors.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love Teva shoes and sandals. They are a reputable company, with high standards and quality materials and comfortable contemporary styles. Over the years that quality and regard for excellent styling has not declined.

Comfortable, good quality, arch support, and good price. It runs a little wider than expected

I have bought Omnium several times over the years and love it for walking. It has great support and has kept my plantar fasciitis from returning. But it seems that some time in the past few years it was downsized. I had the same experience as many buyers, that in my usual size 8 the new one was a great struggle to get my foot through the opening. Compared to my old pair, it was 1/2" smaller in diameter at the opening and 1/4" shorter in the rubber sole (so it was not just that the upper in my old one was stretched). I reordered in size 8-1/2 and it measured and fit just like my old size 8. If you find the opening snug but not a struggle you have the right size, but if you have to fight to get it on you would do well to try the next size. The footbed is not much bigger. The upper will soften and stretch a bit with wear, but not by a lot.

I like the look of these and they seem very comfortable, however I’m going to return or exchange them, as they say they’re the same size but they don’t even look same shape. See picture.

These sandals are comfortable with adequate arch support. I love them for riding my bike as it gives good toe protection while being airy on a hot summer day. Teva has always made great sandals and is well known for that! Problem with hiking in open sandals is that debris can get into your feet, but on a real hot day it may be worse to wear a closed hiking shoe if you can't tolerate the heat.

If I followed the size guide I would have purchased size 5 based on the length of my foot — but I’m guessing they would have cramped my toes and abraded and blistered my skin.I purchased my usual 5.5 size and have plenty of toe room: An essential thing for me. But there’s a little too much play in the heels.By wearing very thin socks, my feet found their sweet spot in them.I appreciate the arch support and their ruggedness.UPDATE:I have to confess these are hard sandals to break in!Not only are they incredibly homely, but they’re stiff and the inside materials are rough without socks.I wish they were earth colored instead of light blue. I almost threw them on the donation pile, because without socks they cause heel abrasion.My solution was to cut-to-fit heel guards out thin memory-foam boot liners I had hanging around. After adhering them to the sandal’s rough,inner heels with double sided tape, I tightened the back straps for a comfortable, snug fit without abrasive rubbing. My feet sit well aligned to the arch support, and toes are where they should be.What I like about these ugly sandals is their sturdiness, their bounce and shock absorption. Now that I may be able to really break them in, I may start to love them. I’m glad I have them.
