Great for wearing all day

Rating:****
I love these sandals/flip-flops! I can wear them all day with no discomfort. I have a very narrow, long foot which makes it hard to find shoes that fit snugly. The design of the Olawahu sandals, with it's criss-crossing straps, is a great solution for my challenging feet. They are very stylish & extremely lightweight; I have them in 3 colors right now. I only have two complaints: One, that although the sole does well in wet conditions, the footbed, when wet, becomes slippery. I would not recommend using these around the pool or at the beach, but they are great for everyday use otherwise. Two, the footbed, although very comfortable, does wear down after about one season's use. Great product though.

Great sandals!

Rating:*****
These sandals are very comfortable. The extra strap adds more stability than other styles of thong sandals. I buy a new pair of these every time I see them on sale. I've given them as gifts to friends and relatives and now they are fans too. These sandals wash well and get some shape back with a little time in the dryer (The footbed flattens a small amount with frequent use). My only disclaimer is that I have narrow feet and can't comment on how comfortable they would be for someone with wider feet.

Love these!

Rating:****
This is my second pair of these flops- I love them. I wear them out, but also as a good house shoe/chores shoe. The materials of the shoe are ok to get wet. I have worn them in a lake and washing cars! This particular pair I bought, one of the straps (the same on both shoes) is a tad bit long so it bunches/sticks up a little and doesn't lay flat. That's the only reason I gave this last particular pair 4 stars-but that's nothing to cry over! They're so comfy!

Finally! A flip flop for webbed toes!

Rating:*****
I usually cannot wear any kind of flip flops where the thing goes in between the toes--- my toes are slightly webbed... not freakishly, but enough to cause pain when wearing flip flops. These don't though!! Very comfy, don't even feel them. The sole molds to your feet too which is nice. I have wide feet though, so I ordered one size larger since other review say they are good for narrow feet... good thing too- they fit perfect! So if you have wide feet order a size up!

Great sandals

Rating:****
I've been buying 1-2 pairs of these sandals every year for the last 3 years and use them almost every day during the summer. They are comfortable for long walks, great for beaches and sprinkler parks. So many colors to choose from and they all look great. The only complain I have is that they are not very durable. Only last me for one/partial summer but I do use them on a daily basis taking my kids out.

Casual comfort for the summer

Rating:*****
The Teva Olowahu thong takes the "flop" out of flip-flop. The extra cross straps hold it on my foot better, so there's no slapping sound when I walk. Plus I can walk faster (important when I have to chase my kids around!) The style looks nice enough that I can wear it almost everywhere. My general shoe size is 7.5; I wear an 8 in the Teva. I would say that the Olowahu fits a narrow/average foot well.

Best Flipflops

Rating:*****
These are the most comfortable flipflops I've ever had. I got a pair for my sister too. She said the same thing. They hold up pretty well. I've been wearing mine every day for 4 months now and they still look pretty good. Now I'm getting some in other colors. One thing is that they seem to run a little big. I usually take a 7 in shoes, but a 6 is perfect in these.

Love these!

Rating:*****
One of my favorite Teva products, these need just a day of break-in to get the straps adjusted to my feet and from then on they are good to go. Very cormfortable for everyday around the house but not enough support for heavy walking. Size is true: an 8 is great for me as I ususally wear 8 1/2. Will definately buy in more colors.

GREAT SANDAL, GREAT PRICE!

I WEAR THIS TEVA STYLE EVERYDAY BOTH IN THE HOUSE, AND I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CHANGING MY SHOES WHEN I GO OUT. VERY COMFORTABLE AND STYLISH. I'VE BEEN WEARING THIS STYLE FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND LOVE THEM. I'VE RECOMMENDED THIS SHOE TO MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND THEY LOVE THEM, TOO!

Olowahu Sandals

Rating:*****
I bought my wife a pair of Olowahu's for a trip to Cabo. She loved them and has worn them for casual gatherings. I bought her two more pairs of different colors and she loves them. I already know next summer she will be looking for these sandals with style, comfort, and colors.

Defective shoe received

Rating:*
Unfortunately, this shoe was defective. Two of the straps on the left shoe were considerably longer than the other two straps and buckled when I put the shoe on. I have returned these shoes, which is rather disappointing because this was the first time I purchased from Sierra Trading. [...]

Love teva olowahu--but these defective

Rating:*
Bought same product at[...]--they were great. This pair is defective. The left shoe is mismade and is too tight!!! Will not return them as I will probably be charged for shipping again. I am just viewing them as a throw away pair of flip flops--too bad!!!

cheap all around

Rating:*
These were disspaointing at best, the straps are uneven and won't stay on your feet. They are going back!! Love Teva's, but not these. If you have a super wide or chunky foot, maybe they would work, otherwise get something else.

cute but not very durable

Rating:**
Not much to say. They will not hold up over time but for the really cheap sale price I can wear them about the house.
