      Comments about Teva Olowahu Flip-Flops - Women's:

      I have lived in these sandals for two years. They are the most comfortable pair of flip-flops I have ever owned. They don't slip off easily, are extremely comfortable, have good support in the heel and seat perfectly along your toes plus you get an awesome teva tan line. I use them everywhere, including hiking in Utah in the summer when I couldn't bear the thought of hot boots.

      Comments about Teva Olowahu Flip-Flops - Women's:

      I wore these Teva's originally wanting to wear them for the summer to the beach and around town. I traveled all over Europe with one pair for two months and wore them nearly every day. They never let me down! They are very well built even though they look cheaply made, but they're cute and comfy and totally last. I had put an 'X' on flip-flops because they're often made of rubber and rub your foot the wrong way, giving you blisters. These fit very snug and surprisingly hold your foot well. I have bad arches and they were comfortable enough to wear often. They kind of form to your feet. They're great, and inexpensive! I'm buying my second pair.

      Enjoy!

      Comments about Teva Olowahu Flip-Flops - Women's:

      I absolutely love these sandals. They got me through 6 weeks of travel in Europe last summer, so I bought 2 new pairs and wear them all summer long for everyday stuff. They are extremely comfortable and I have several female friends who have independently bought these same sandals and love them just as much as I do. My only complaint is the soles tend to compress a bit quickly and wear out after a few months.

        Comments about Teva Olowahu Flip-Flops - Women's:

        I love these! I've got two pair - both two years old. I wear them often in the summer - weekends, travel, and after work. Even though they're super light and feel insubstantial, they're just now starting to show wear. Eminently washable, they'll come clean before you do after encounters with various kinds of indoor and outdoor muck. Also great for wearing to the water park. The arch support is better than most of the athletic shoes I've bought - and I have very high arches as well as plantar fasciitis. The double strap makes them a lot more stable and less *floppy* than the average flip-flop - much quieter, too. My feet never hurt in these, even after a full day of walking on concrete.

          Comments about Teva Olowahu Flip-Flops - Women's:

          This shoe lasted me for a full year with lots of use (great for a flip flop). And, if I wasn't picky I could still wear them. The soft straps meant no blisters or chafing during the break in process. The extra straps make the shoe much more secure than the average flip flop. The sole is relatively stream line so they look cute with skirts and casual clothes. They break in beautifully (they almost become an orthodic). I really loved these shoes and I just bought a new pair. When travelling I was excited to get home from day or couple day long hikes and put these on. They do get a little slippery when wet, but they dry very quickly

          These sandels are the most comfortible flip flops I have ever owned. Only two things are negative: There is no half sizes, they dry very slowly. I used them as shower shoes while camping and they dried so slowly that they developed a smell. In extremly hot wheather this will not be a problem.

            Comments about Teva Olowahu Flip-Flops - Women's:

            I was a bit skeptical when I felt the material of the flip flop, thinking it wouldn't hold up or be comfortable. Thankfully I was wrong! Lots of cushioning kept my feet comfortable and didn't cause foot/knee fatigue like most flip flops do after a few hours of wear. My feet didn't slip and good grip on damp surfaces. Obviously not much support - it is a flip flop, but comfortable enough to wear all day at an art festival, BBQ and grocery shopping! I usually wear a size 6 or 6.5 but ended up with a size 7.

              Comments about Teva Olowahu Flip-Flops - Women's:

              Hmm....I just cleaned out my closet and discovered that I own not five but SIX pairs of these flip-flops. And still every season I go online and check out the new colors to see what I should get next.

              I did not like to wear flip-flops until these sandals made a convert of me. With other flip-flops, the little strap between the toes bugged me - with these it is thin and soft and I never notice it's there.

              Also, because there are two extra straps the shoe cradles your foot up to the arch, so doesn't flip or flop quite so much :)

              Needing to spread the joy, I bought my best friend a pair for her birthday in March. She's converted now too.

                My old Reef flipflops were wearing down so I decided I need a new pair of sandals that didn't flop around too much. I started wearing them as soon as I left REI... sooo cushiony compared to the old sandals. I've walked all over Boston and San Francisco in these and no foot problems despite having flat feet. I like how it molds to your feet.

                The extra straps on these sandals are great. It did take one day of breaking them in (it chaffed my big toe but it went away quickly).

                I wear these little sandles nearly everyday (I've had them for 1 year) at home and out. I would have liked the insole to be a bit more durable as my foot has molded to the footbed and because I wear them constantly I can feel the sharp rocks on the heel underside OUCH... I would buy a couple more pairs so I'd have alternates and they'd last longer. I had NO rubbing or sore spots, I had NO breaking in of these sandles. VERY COMFORTABLE :-)
