Men's Katavi 2 Sport Sandal

I've tried similar sandals but always come back to the Teva Katavi 2. They are very comfortable ... good for wearing all day, and hold up well over time.

I finally wore out my last pair, very similar to this pair. Last pair lasted a long time, so long I can't remember when I bought them. Hopefully this pair will last as long.

I bought these sandals almost two years ago and have worn them nearly 90% of that time. I am in my 70's and have neuropathy in my feet. Most shoes are uncomfortable. I have found these sandals to be the most comfortable things I can put on my feet by far; hence my wearing them nearly all the time no matter the weather. I prefer to wear them with socks, especially in cool/cold weather and I know that marks me as a nerd. At this stage of my life I don't care. There is still excellent padding in the footbed and the soles are just beginning to wear a little. I like the suede look, too. They are on sale right now on Amazon and I may just order another pair for when these eventually wear out. I am not a big hiker or anything, but I can say these are great for everyday walks. Teva has really knocked it out of the park with this sandal!

This is a first impression of the Teva Katavi 2 sandals. Since I have only had them for two days, this review cannot address the durability of the sandals or how they will feel over the coming months of summer. But I can make some initial comments after having worn them for a couple of days. 1. They are sturdy and very well made with quality materials. I suspect that they should last a relatively long time. 2. They fit completely as expected. In other words, I usually wear a size 11 men's shoe. These are size 11 and fit correctly as one would expect. 3. They have good arch support. 4. Since they are sports sandals, the heavy rubber outsoles should allow for walking over rough and wet terrain. 5. The leather uppers are not sewn to the base. So, there will not be any problem with separation of the uppers from the base due to worn threads. 6. They are stylish looking with the orange highlights on the otherwise brownish leather. But I took one star off because the straps are not soft against my bare feet. I am sure that after they are completely broken in I will not mind the straps, but initially they seem a little stiff and uncomfortable. The sandals are advertised as suitable for light hiking. But I personally would not hike in them because I suspect that my feet might possibly get a little sore around the straps. I thus would have rated them about 4 1/2 stars if it were possible to do a half star.

Tevas do make the best sandals. The fit and finish are excellent and the prices more than fair for the quality materials and construction. They have managed to map the human foot anatomy better than other name brand sandal. The straps and footbed are comfortable.

I wear these until they fall off. My 8th pair!

These sandals replaced a pair of Teva sandals I had had for years. Happy to say that the construction and quality has not declined over time. In fact, this model is actually easier to fasten. Highly recommend them

These fit very comfortably and also seem rugged and dependable. There was no breaking in necessary.

Excellent fit and or so comfortable. A great pair of sandals. I hope they last. This is my first pair and if the first week is any indication, I will be coming back again for another pair when they wear out.

Lightweight, comfortable, perfect fit, stylish, quality sandals.

Teva es pionero en este tipo de zapatos, tengo un par que he usado desde hace mas de 35 años y hasta ahora los estoy cambiando aunque la verdad fue capricho porque los anteriores están como nuevos, lo máximo de sandalias

Style, materials used and the build quality are all important. But for me, the most important aspect of sandals is how the straps that hug your foot are fastened to the bottom sole of the sandals. During summer, sandals are worn for comfort and cooling effect, and it'll inevitably get wet because people will walk in to water with them...which should be assumed by all sandal manufacturers. But they're not. When sandals get wet, this can loosen the bond that fastens the straps to the sole, and over time, it'll just fall out. Cheap sandals are merely bonded or glued on. Better ones are stitched on. High quality ones uses metal fasteners that are fastened directly to different layers of the sole, AND is glued on. Teva are among the few that uses the stitching and glue method, which makes them much more durable than your regular sandals. For $100, these are well worth the price, not to mention, stylish and comfortable. For context, sandals that use metal fasteners usually cost >150.
