mens Forebay Sandal

This is the second pair of these sandals I have owned. The first lasted about 4 summers but I left them in a motel so lost them. Tried a differend brand/style but had to return. They were not as good as these. What do I like?? The Velcro attaches over top of the instep for easy on and off. The biggest thing I like is that these sandals actually have good arch support. Most sandals I've tried are very poor in this feature. The material and soles of my old pair held up very well. Best sandal I ever had. I'd still be wearing them if I hadn't lost them. I'm a size 8 1/2 usually but had to buy a 9. They fit me fine. Well woth trying if you want a good sandal.

I tried out my first pair these tevas around 11 months ago and have wore them almost every day since. Firstly they fit true to size, and have great foot arch support. But at first they did cause minor irritation on my achilles heel which caused a couple blisters but after they broke in, it wasn’t an issue. I use them in the Garden a ton and do some moderate hiking in them too. They have great traction and are breathable as well. These sandals are good for using for just about anything but I loved having them when going to hot springs or swimming the most. After almost a year the exterior is starting to delaminate on the right sandal and the bottom of the back ankle strap had snapped apart from constant wear n tear, on the left sandal. This doesn’t really affect it from functioning though so I’d say they have a durable design.

I had a pair of Teva Deacon sandals, size 12, for many years. I LOVED those so much. They were so freaking comfortable to wear almost anywhere. I could go barefoot and not worry about the straps rubbing wrong on my feet. I could wear socks (highly stylish, I know..) and they were great in any weather except maybe snow. And, most importantly, they were broken in and I could slip on and off - that was wonderful! Now let's talk about these Forebays. Wife got me size 12 for Christmas. Could barely get them on, so exchanged for size 13. Much, much better fit. However, I am PRAYING that these continue to break in. After about 10 days, these are slowly stretching out a bit, and getting more comfortable to wear. But we are nowhere close to the old Deacons just yet. Three things are really bugging me. Not sure if they will improve or not. First, the ankle "hole" is quite a bit smaller on these Forebays. As mentioned, I expect they will expand a bit over time. But right now, I've got the strap that goes over the top of the foot only halfway attached. Hard to explain. Put it this way, I pulled back the velcro strap to open up the ankle hole as much as possible. Then I re-attached the velcro strap, but only covering about half of the strip (as I'm looking down on it). Even then, I am fighting HARD to *slip* my foot in with thick socks. With thin socks, it's a minor challenge. Barefoot, no issue. Second complaint. My pinky toe keeps catching on the holes. It's just in the wrong spot, where my pinky toe starts to pop out, especially when I'm seated. Then I stand up, and my foot moves forward just a bit - but my pinky toes are catching. Easy to adjust and fix, but annoying that it's happening at all. Did not happen with the old Deacons. Third issue. The footbed is just not as comfortable as my Deacons. Maybe that will improve over time, but it's just not as comfortable to take the dog for a walk in these Forebays, as it was my old Deacons. By comfortable, I mean the arch support is different, and I can feel where the strap is rubbing against my feet as I walk. No blisters - have walked 2mi many times in the past 10 days with these - but it just doesn't feel as comfortable. I'll keep them, as I've worn them outside. And they're OK. But what I wouldn't give for a model identical to my old Deacons...

Good house shoes, too.

Very comfortable and long lasting. My second pair.

Very comfortable

Fit. I have 11.5 feet. They fit fine, socks or no socks. Quality. They tend to become unglued at the toe. This happens more quickly in wet or rough conditions. They can be cemented back together with glue for shoes. Hiking in Uganda, they wore out this way in months. Appearance. They generally look good under benign neglect. One shoe out of the four pairs I have bought from Amazon has a scuffed toe. Update: I normally wear these without socks. They fit. However, with socks, they’re too short. I compared side by side with an older pair. The last seems straighter, and the shoe effectively shorter. Shrinkflation? In the comparison photo, the new shoe is on the right.

Excellent but the tongue is not very comfy in the heat so i cut mine off now they are comfy

Very comfortable with hardly any wearing-in. Great for most Singapore walks because the feet can breathe. Better than walking shoes. Probably not up to hiking in the hills but they aren't designed for that. I will definitely buy another pair when these wear out.

It keeps giving my husband plasters at his heel I am wondering it’s a real Teva or fake

ottimi sandali, comodissimi, e leggeri, sono tra i pochi ad avere il supporto posteriore al tallone, che li fa stare piu fermi sul piede. ottimo acquisto. misura perfetta.

Hatte ein ähnliches Paar vor Jahren im Outlet in US gekauft, die haben schon allerhand mitgemacht und sind immer noch top. Bin froh jetzt über Amazon dieses Paar gefunden zu haben, die sind von der Qualität gleich und haben ein Fussbett mit dem man viele Kilometer gehen kann, ohne dass die Füsse weh tun.
