Teva Men's M Omnium 2 Leather Fisherman Sandal

Have you ever watched "The Dog House" on MAX? Did you come away without thinking, "Ohhh... that could be our dog!" Correct: impossible. Cannot be done. So by the time we had binged into season #2, we were well on our way to a canine relationship. And when we finished season #4, last episode (#8?), we were on the local humane society websites. And thus, Olive, a Spitz mix. 40 pounds of pure dream for a couple well into their 70s. So now, I am walking a dog.What are the potential problems for an old sod walking a dog on uneven ground in the American south land? Well, you worry about falls, so an old guy needs a shoe that provides a wider base because when he looks down, he needs to have a sense of confidence in his base: that's important because it engages the cortical component of walking. A non-slip sole because the backyard is uneven? Sure. A shoe that is adjustable in the heel, width, and point of attachment to your foot and ankle? You betcha. A quick-release buckle to remove them so that you don't have to mess around with velcro straps, say, while reaching across a comfortable, and comforting, belly? Um hmm. A long-lived shoe because you are on a fixed income and you were taught by your mother that shoes should never wear out, just be outgrown? Yes, yes indeed. A sandal-ish style because, after all, college was only 60 years ago, and you are sure that you can go back to "The Quad" with your nose flute and slide rule, and maybe meet girls who smoke French cigarettes and wear gladiator sandals - girls who would be fascinated by your hiking sandals and your Beat poetry? "Hey, man, I dig your howl." "I shall sing you a folk song and we shall fall in love promptly." Obviously.And that is what the Tevka Omnium 2 Sport Sandal provides: comfort, security, quality, and... and memories. Seventy bucks for memories like those? Well, these are my criteria and those are my memories, kids. Get a pair of these babies and forge the memories that predict the story of your own consciousness. All that from a great pair of shoes.Buy a pair. Have a life. Write your own review.

These are simply the most comfortable casual shoes I've ever owned. I've had them for about 6 weeks and wear them almost every day. First, they are open enough to feel like sandals, but have enough structure to make me feel comfortable wearing them in either rugged outdoor areas or crowded metro areas where you need a bit more protection from clumsy people or the carts they push. Second, I've had plantar fasciitis in the past and need more substantial arch support than average shoes. On nikes or dress shoes I typically remove the low grade insole and replace it with a special insert that gives robust support. For this reason I have almost never found a pair of sandal type shoes that I could wear without a lot of foot fatigue or pain. These Tevas have excellent, higher than average arches which makes it possible for me to wear these all day with no problem, no pain, and NO FATIGUE! I am beyond pleased—I'm delighted! And, while I wouldn't want to run any real distance in them, they are supportive enough that I would not give any thought to running to the end of the block and back to retrieve a fleeing dog. Third, there are a couple of ways to adjust the fit on the heal and over the top of the foot. I was nervous when I put them on right out of the box... It was tight and uncomfortable across the top, and the heal was a little tight. Both have velcro adjustment strips, which I adjusted and ended up with an excellent fit. Lastly, the snap-in clip for the top strap makes them a breeze to get on and off in a hurry.I haven't had them long enough to know if they will hold up over the long haul, but after 45-ish days of use, they show no wear (though I've been in the mud once or twice and wiped them off), nor do they appear to be weak or poorly constructed. I love these shoes and will buy them again!2019 Update:Heading into my 2nd season with these. Still love them and have looked forward to being back in them throughout winter. They are showing a little more age on the top, but they are not ragged by any means. The leather upper appears to be more "wavy" or slightly curled as you might expect after it had been wet a few times. This doesn't impact the construction or comfort... they just don't look brand new. They have loosened up slightly, so i'm adjusting the velcro straps to compensate. I'm glad spring is here... I've already been back in them several times. Still feel perfect with the slight velcro adjustment. Based on wear over the first season, and now into the second, I'm guessing i can get at least 2 or 3 more years out of them -- probably more, depending on how rough I am on them.2025 Update: These are still my favorite pair of summer shoes. They now look like they are 8 years old, but they still fit well and I retract nothing of my original review! One of the best shoe purchases I've ever made. I'm going for 10 years!

Great looking shoe, haven’t enough time to grade durability but looks very well built and offers the wearer Velcro top and heel straps, IN ADDITION TO the standard “bungy only” fastener found in most. Only downside is they run small, and not discounting possible stretching, it will require return for half size larger.

My second pair. First pair lasted years. Like them for boarding in Florida and walking around water that may not be foot friendly. Adjusts nice. Comfortable.

This is my second pair of these particular men’s Tevas. I found my first pair of these on a clearance rack in a beach shop in Topsail NC. I own six pair of ladies Teva‘s sandals, but these were wider and more supportive. I was intrigued by the design and the treads and when I tried them on, I loved how they fit and felt on my feet. My first pair of these sandals have been all over the world with me as I’ve walked through rain puddles, mud puddles, different terrains, worn on the beach and in the ocean. They’re actually my go to travel shoes. They are comfortable with or without socks, they dry quickly. Heading to London next month and these sandals are going!!!!

Great shoes but sad that you have to sew on a piece of Velcro to the adjustment strap because they don’t make it long enough. That is only drawback. Otherwise good shoes.

Great quality so far, but be aware that they definitely run smaller than you would expect. I ordered a 9 (EU 42) which is what I usually wear and they're very snug compared to all my other shoes.
