Who's tried the Teva Flip Flops?

[PocahontasLookALike]

I know that Teva sandals are supposed to be super comfy, and people have given rave reviews for wearing them at WDW. But has anyone tried the flip flops? Are they just as comfortable?

[Lynn4Mel]

I have bought Teva flip flops for both myself and my DD 12 over the past couple of years. They are really comfortable! Some flip flops bother me in between my toes and those don't. Spend the $20 and get them! :flower:

[MUFFYCAT]

I bought a pair of niyati last year and love them. Unfortunetly, they now have discontinued them :sad2:

[Cindy's Mom]

I bought Teva flips, I don't recall the name of them, but they were $45. I guess I have a narrow foot, and by narrow I don't mean width wise, I mean height wise. Cause the shoes were just too loose on me, the straps never touched my foot, therefore I had to grip more with my toes.

I live in flip flops all summer, work, casual and dress up so its not like I don't know how to walk in them. I was all excited about my Tevas, and then they turned out to be horrible (for me).

I bought some last year for our trip to Hawaii...can't stand them. They are rough on my feet. Maybe its just me. I would try the one's made by Reef. They are sold at Nordstrom. Everyone out here in California rave about them.

I've not tried Teva flip flops, but I'm sold on Teva sandals. Of course, you get what you pay for. My entire family has found that the more expensive the sandal the more comfortable.

The footbed on the teva flip flops is much softer than the sandal. My kids and I love them...very comfy around the parks.

rei.com 's outlet page has two pair of them at a great price. If you can find the exact same pair (style, color, size) Zappos.com will price match them and its free shiipping and free return shipping if you don't like them.

I did this today on a pair of Teva sandals -not flip flops though.

Here is the rei site:

ME!!! I love them and wore them all over WDW last april! :flower:

[laurabelle]

BTW- the ones I have are called Mush. Teva has a couple of other styles that have the same footbed. I'm going to have to order a new pair, I wear them constantly in the summer!

[MPLsDad]

I have them and LOVE them and wear them on every vacation - sometimes its the only footwear I bring!

[beattyfamily]

Last trip I brought my pretty rugged Tevas and my mush Teva flip flops and one other pair of sandals.

I ended using my Teva sandals the whole trip and only used the flip flops to walk to the pool. I tried wearing them a couple of nights for a change and at first it was great but eventually I started to feel like I was getting a blister so I pretty much lived in my sandals after that.

Because of my plantar fascitis, I need something good and have considered Tevas. I can't stand the thing between the big toe and second toe that flip flops have. Are there any Tevas with a comfortable sole that doesn't have the bar between the toes? (looking for style names). Thanks. Debby

I bought Teva Pretty Rugged Leather sandals, Teva Olowahu flip flops, and Teva Mush flip flops for my trip to WDW in May. All three are wonderful. I walk my dog a couple of miles every day and never realized shoes weren't supposed to hurt your feet until I got these. I alternate between the three pairs every day (thank goodness the weather is fairly warm down here).

Zappos.com has an excellent return policy. Order several pairs and return the ones you don't like and Zappos will pay for the return shipping. This is what I did and I returned one pair of Teva flip flops. I don't remember the name, but they were harder than the Mush and Olawuhu.

In case you can't tell, I love Tevas. I wore two pair of Teva sneakers (along with a pair of Sketcher sneakers) when I went to WDW in Jan. These flip flops and sandles are MUCH more comfortable than the sneakers. I wore my Olowahus shopping all day one day and forgot I had them on.

If anyone buys flip flops or sandals for a trip, I'd highly recommend that you break them in over the course of a few months before the trip. On our last trip, my sister-in-law made the mistake of not breaking her sandals in, and proceeded to get some very serious blisters on her feet and ankles.

[dizkidz2]

I was tempted to buy the Teva flip-flops at Sports Mart/Sports Authority the other day. I don't remember the name of them but they have a couple different ones.
I wore the regular Teva strappy sandals last june trip to DW. My feet felt great, but after a few days of endless walking I started to get a sore spot on the bottom of my foot. :sad2: I had to switch to shoes for the next couple of days.

[cocowum]

My DD and I both wear the Mush flip flops and love them. My DD wears her flip flops all summer.

[phanomouse]

Teva flip flops are about the only good product the company makes!

[Cruise04]

I have feet that generally don't fit well in flip flops but these fit well and they are super comfy!

[cepmom]

I just got some Teva Mush flip flops and love them! I never wear flip flops because of the thing between the toes...never have found any that are comfortable until I found these. The footbed is so comfortable too. I just went ahead and ordered a pair of the Teva Olawahu flip flops from REI.com in the outlet section for only $12.93.

[ddtd92]

I have the Teva Mush flip flops and I love them. I wore them all over Universal Studios last weekend with no problems.

[I Intrigue You]

I wear flip flops year round :) I think my Teva Mush are the best.

[jennifer293]

I have the Mush, the Olawahu, and another pair I cannot remember the name but they have an open back and strap across the top of my foot and then a strap over my big toe. I LOVE them ALL..

Our whole family wears TEVA's!!!


I say BUY them!!!

[missypie]

I bought my Mush flip flops at Famous Footwear. They feel great. I have another 2 months to break them in. After about three hours I can feel them rubbing the sides of my feet.

[cpayne1997]

:flower: Teva Flipflops....the best $20 I ever spent!!! They are so comfy!! I ever wear mine to work on casual Fridays. Worth every penny, I think they are just as comfy as the sandals. :sunny:

[disney_imagineer]

anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on flip flops for guys? maybe it's just me, but i've noticed that flip flops (or sandals in general) look better on girls than guys. sometimes i think guys are just not meant to show their toes. :rolleyes1

but i do anyways. :crazy: so i'm careful to get a "nice" looking pair of sandals. i like the look and feel of flip flops, especially compared to strap-type sandals or slip-ons.

for my upcoming trip to WDW, i'm looking for the perfect men's flip flops that can accomodate everything! :cool1:

-comfortable for park walking (arch support, soft sole, no pain between the toes)
-endurance and safe (good traction under the sole for pool deck walks)
-waterproof (rubber material? or quick drying for the water parks and pools, so no leather ones)
-conservative (nothing to "loud", just plain looking, black flip flops)
-cost (cheap!!! :earboy2: )
-looks (can match with shorts, jeans, etc. and good with Mickey pictures :earsboy: )

i know this is asking for a lot, which is probably why i haven't found the perfect flip flops yet for the trip. Tevas? Reefs? :confused3

Thanks for the help!

:grouphug:

[lovetheparks]

I haven't tried the Teva flips but I would highly recommend Reef flips. They are the only shoes (flip-flop style) that I have never had to break in. No problem between the toes, nothing and I am the blister queen. Nice and sqichy to walk on too :)

Edited to add my DH was always a shoes and socks guy until I bought him some Reefs now that's all he wears (my Dad used to live in his Teva flips)

[disney_imagineer]

after reading this thread, i'm torn between getting a pair of Reef flip flops or Teva ones for my WDW trip next month. i plan to use them for both walking through the parks and for going to the pool. so they have to be really comfortable. but which is truly better?

Reef Smoothy Flip Flops ($26)
Teva Mush Flip Flops ($20)

i've tried them both on, and they seem the same. :confused3

but i put this decision to the trust of the great DIS board members. :earboy2:

which is best for WDW? :rolleyes1
