Basic Comfort, March 25, 2009
This review is from: Teva Men's Mush Flip Flop (Apparel)
The Teva Mush Sandals arrived promptly from one of Amazon's affiliate suppliers. They're a basic zorii, or thong-between-the-toes sandal. The adult men's sizes run small, so most people -- especially those with wide feet or high insteps -- would probably be comfortable ordering a size larger than their normal shoe size.
The foot platform is relatively flat with a moderate bulge under the arch but the upper layer of foam is very soft making the sandals quite comfortable. My guess is that they would be comfortable even for those who have trouble finding good fits in regular shoes. The straps are a wide comfortable woven nylon.
The shallow chevron-pattern tread is fairly firm. This might improve the longevity of the sandal but traction on a wet floor suffers, so these are less than ideal choices for shower or locker room. They're still great for loafing around the house or running outside to extract the newspaper from the rose bushes.
So, basic construction, made in China, very comfortable, good value, and, I think, overall a good choice.

Durable and comfortable, March 11, 2008
I've owned a pair of these Tevas now for just over five years. I've traveled with them all over the place. Even after five years, they're still holding together very well. The construction is top notch. The straps are securely attached to the sole of the sandal and there's no indication that they're going to come off or tear any time soon.
A couple of caveats:
- The foam rubber that they use on the soles feels nice and springy at first. But they eventually compress and lose some of their cushiness. That's probably going to happen with pretty much any sandal of this type, and not with a sandal that has a more rigid sole, e.g. Birkenstocks. Still, the sandals are still comfy enough, even after the soles have compressed.
- The foam rubber, while flexible and comfortable, can be penetrated by sharp objects - nails, glass fragments, larger splinters of wood, etc. On a couple of occassions, I've felt something poking me and have had to pull out something that pierced through the sole. But they do fine on most surfaces.
That said, I'd by another pair in a heartbeat. And I probably will. After five years, I think it's about time to retire these puppies. So kudos to Teva; they've won me over as a customer.

Comfortable? Yeah, every day., September 15, 2008
There's nothing more comfortable than the mush. SOOO light too. Feels like you don't have shoes on.
