TevaWomen's Tirra Sandal

My favorite Columbia sandals are almost 10 years old, starting to wear out, and have sadly been discontinued. So I have been on a mission to find a pair of new sandals that I like just as well, and I finally discovered the Teva Tirra. I have high arches and an ongoing issue with plantar fascitis, so finding comfortable sandals with enough arch support is tough. I have a pair of very expensive Chacos that have an awesome arch, but the diamond cut pattern of the foot bed really irritates the sole of my foot and I can't wear them for an entire day.I ended up ordering several different styles of Tevas (as well as numerous other brands), and returned all but one pair. I ordered the Teva Tirra, Tirra Leather, Terra Fl, Verra, Hurricane, and Numa. The Tirra Leather has an awesome foot bed and great arch support, but runs a 1/2 size smaller than the rubber/nylon version, and the inside of the straps aren't cushioned nearly as well, which was the deal breaker for me. The Terra Fl has a slightly lower arch than the Tirra, and after 15-20 minutes of walking around inside my house, my foot with the plantar fascitis was bothering me. The strap cushion on those was equally good though. The Verra is super cute and the straps are nicely cushioned, but the arch is almost non-existent. The Hurricane has scratchy straps and a minimal arch. The Numa had a minimal arch as well.When I initially ordered the Tirra sandals, I ordered a size 8.5, which is my typical shoe size. They seemed like they fit well at first, but the front of the ankle strap hurt after wearing them for about 15 minutes inside my house. On a hunch, I decided to order another pair a half size smaller. They're an absolutely perfect fit, and the ankle strap doesn't come up as high and isn't irritating at all like it was on a pair a 1/2 size larger.I wore the sandals yesterday to our local amusement park and walked/stood for 11 hours straight. They definitely passed my test for comfort and support. They're not super fashionable, but definitely prettier than some other types of sport sandals. I bought the Simply Taupe color, which is neutral and goes with most of my summer clothes. I'll probably eventually buy a black pair as well, but I'm waiting for them to go on sale. We're taking a 10 day trip to Disney World later this year, and these will definitely be my main shoe for wearing while we're there.

I have worn Teva sandals for14 years. I like the fit with 3 adjustable straps, the color choices, the fact that I can wear them with socks if I want to, the cushioning, the grip, the arch support, the fact that I can wear them as shower sandals if I want to, and that they are secure slippers in the house. The sandals also look good with tights. These shoes are so economical for what they do. The quality is excellent.

we look for comfort, stability and reliability in our shoes. check all. I own a pair of Teva Hurricane Xlt2, and they're great, wider than these in toe box, so I wanted a smaller look. Those are in an off-white color, and I'll share, I stay away from black sandals in summer because they are hotter absorbing sun. I got the taupe multi color in Tirra because reviews were similar to Hurricane. One thing about these more expensive Teva's...They are much more comfortable than the lower end/cost ones. The footbed is very nice feeling and feels like good protection throughout the summer heat. they also walk nice! With Teva's, I also find the first time you wear them, you might feel uncomfortable, so stop right there, and start readjusting the straps. If rubbing, loosen them and gradually with some wear, your feet with adjust. may have to repeat tight-loose and light walking for a couple of days. but soon, you will find the comfort of the straps and never have to adjust again. I leave my straps on the loose side, but not loose enough to slide around in the sandal. my feet stay put and the sandals provided great stability. if I hit a hiking mode, I may have to tighten them down a bit, but not probable I'd even have to do that. I typically wear 8.5-9M in most shoes, sneakers, but during winter my feet need more room in toes. these sandals have a more narrow toe box, but are perfect for an open toed shoe. I'm older, but whether running errands or picnic, these sandals will be preferred, because they are rugged enough but don't quite resemble the work horse that they really are. they're cool in temperature and style. expensive but once you are fitted, you're hooked.

Great quality and very comfortable once they are broken in. Recommendation to wear for short hikes until broken in. Size was perfect for my wide feet. I had no issues with slipping while wear. Light weight and I wear them pretty much all the time. Style was fine for what I use them for. Can be worn with jeans and look ok.

Absolutely love these Teva sandals! Super comfortable right out of the box — no break-in period needed. They don't chafe at all, even after long walks and hikes. The straps are soft but secure, and the cushioning feels great underfoot. Perfect for everyday wear or outdoor adventures. Highly recommend if you want something durable and comfy!
