Almost great
I have 4 boys and therefore I am always in the market for good sandals. These Teva sandals are very good quality and I have always had very reliable experiences with Teva. I have the Hurricane sandals for one of my older boys in size 3. They work great for him and are easy to use but my 4 year old who is a size 11 cannot get these on. The back strap does not adjust which is fine for bigger sizes because the strap across the ankle is bigger and can be pulled out much more. In the size 11 the ankle strap can only be opened a little so it is really hard to slide his foot in. Even with my help they are difficult to get on. For smaller feet I recommend the Tyro or Psyclone which works much better instead of the Hurricane. Other than that though the sandals are really great.

Great shoe but runs small!!!
I had ordered this sandals for my 9 y/o son. When they arrived I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. They looked like very good sturdy comfortable shoes but..... they run small - at least 1 size smaller than other kind Teva sandals. Size 6 (Big Kid) sandals just barely fit my child when other kind Teva sandals size 6 looked big on him.
Nevertheless I DO recommend these sandals. Just make sure you order one size up.

9999 shoes later I found my love!
Ok I confess it kills me to spend $50 on shoes. But at 38 and on my feet all day plus filling in the mid-drift...The shoes I wore in the young hottie days are getting their revenge. Worse yet...at a size 10.5-11 W I canNOT find shoes to fit.
In need of some water wading shoes I found a purple pair of this model (incorrectly shown as red on this site) that I thought was too "off color" for professional wear but worthy of play shoes...for a clearance price of $30 comfort to please my desperation who could deny the deal?
SHOOT. I don't care if they had bright flashing fuschia blinkers and a whoopie cushion to boot. These shoes rock.
I live 3 hrs from the Birkenstock place I found them in WA and when I head back that direction I am clearing the Keen sale shelf and buying a reg priced pair that is appropriate in style for professional wear. The shoe is kind of wierd looking..but I see Birkenstocks as wierd looking (which didnt work out for me--very painful).
If you have plantar faciatis (sp?) problems here is a house shoe answer. See I also drop these shoes next to my bed so I can make it to the bathroom in the middle of the night without tearing up my arches.They are SO comfortable.
And the shoe is breathable but not cold not hot not prone to stretching with sock on no sock wear.
It's years of shoe nightmares come to an end. I have had 'em for 6 weeks now weigh 235 lbs (fluffy amazon chick) and the shoe looks like it will hold it's own--wet or dry. A challenge considering size 6 110 lb girl shoes are made with the same materials as the larger sizes...like harnessing up a chihuahua the same as a St.Bernard!
Hope this helps.These shoes are my hunt completed.Oh it appears all shoes are made with the same funky loveable sole.
