As a lady with ginormous bunions, I had qualms about ordering these men's medium-width shoes but oh! happy day! The three velcro straps allow for so much custom adjustment, the sandals fit comfortably right out of the box. No break-in period required. An added aesthetic bonus is that my bunions themselves are concealed by the toe strap, which has the effect of making my feet look narrower. Yay!

While the Teva Obern is comfortable and I love the style, they just don’t hold up. The black section of the sole is paper thin and has been peeling off allowing the true whitish color to show. My last pair of Tevas lasted 10 years, these less than one.

Borrowed a friend's pair while on a January trip to Austin owing to unseasonably warm temps. These are the sandals I've wanted all my life.

I love this Teva more than I love practically anything in the world. It's got the feel I've been searching for, as I have a morton's neuroma, and for the first time in years, I can walk without any pain. I'm buying another pair. This should be target marketed to older people. It's great!

I'd also recommend: Teva continues to get my nod

These are awesome right out of the box! The best arch support I've ever had in a sandal.

Have looked for years for a replacement for my tattered, flapping soled leather Tevas - at a great price! Kept checking back and finally you had them. I live in them. No need for my orthotics.
