TevaMen'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.

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!!!!

I had been wearing my old Teva's with this design for several years because the successor model didn't hold up. There was too much plastic or rubber or something, and it broke. There wasn't enough leather in that design, so I wore my older Teva's, which were still serviceable. But these new models recapture the same feel and stubborn dependability that I loved about the old ones, except that they're brand new again. They're a little bit narrower, or it could be my feet are fatter. But they fit great and keep my tootsies cool during the Georgia summers! Two thumbs way up!

First of all I bought a second pair of these. They are average in many respects, and with sandals that’s good!I’m always banging my feet so having the protection the sandals afford keeps me from small foot injuries, toe bangs, etc.I’ve always had good luck with the Teva brand. I’ve only tried Chacos once, and they were a fail. Same for Keen. I just threw out some Tevas that I bought in 1990! And the one time I did have trouble with Tevas, their customer service was great. I cannot say the same for Keen or Chacos.These sandals are great overall sandals. I can take them many places and have them function as shoes or sandals. They are durable and useful across a range of uses. On my most informal days I can wear them around town.The biggest praise I can offer these sandals is that I bought a second pair. I have not found a better all-around sandal.For me a 3-star rating means that something is average or as they should be. From there things get better or worse.
