Teva Toachi Sport Sandals with Toe Bumpers (For Men)

I bought these for my hard-to-fit honey, and he likes them! He has Fred Flintstone feet (wide toes that square off at the top) compounded by a high instep, so it's very hard to find any shoes that he can wear. He loves these shoes! Great find and great bargain!

My 13 year old loves these shows. Very comfortable and suffered no breakin time. My 10 year old has a pair too. The only bad thing is the heal started to separate about two weeks after he got them. We just super glued it back together and they seem okay.

Teva needs to change the glue they use for the soles. Returned first pair under warranty, only to find 2nd pair delaminating even faster and now they squeak. I will try to glue them myself with something else. They are comfy and nice looking, but not durable at all.

I had a previous pair of Teva Toachi sandals that lasted around 18 months of fairly frequent use in S. China before the heel eventually separated from the hard upper, presumably due to inferior glue. The pair I ordered in July '10 separated in the same place after ONLY TWO DAYS of very light use. Clearly whatever glue Teva's recent Chinese suppliers have been using is even worse than the earlier glue. I've been a Teva customer for many years, and my Terra Fi 2 sandals have seen much use without any problem. Online, the latest Toachi's, men's or women's, show a cascade of identical complaints. Either Teva has decided to take the money and run until they collapse, or this is a fairly limited supplier problem, it's a terribly shortighted way to run a good firm into the ground. Just witless. Aside from this problem, I like the Toachi's, though I wish the outsole and heel material had the longevity of Teva's classic sandals. I've even considered keeping these, and gluing the heel back on with good contact cement, but I can't guess whether the entire sole will separate before long, and what else may fail prematurely.

I needed a durable shoe I could wear in the water to load/unload my boat, then use them as a deck shoe on the boat. Additionally, they must dry fast, be easy to put on and take off.
