BUILDING A LEGACY, SINCE 1984.

The original sport sandal emerged from the shores of the Grand Canyon back in 1984. Born out of necessity to prevent sandals from floating downstream, a resourceful river guide strapped two Velcro watchbands to a pair of old flip-flops.

In the years following, Teva has retained the same pioneering spirit and continues to celebrate the freedom to explore.

I forgot how comfortable Tevas are. I had a pair I loved but it stopped making the particular style/type so I tried others, Chicos, Crocks sandals (similar style), and others. I didn't realize I missed the compliant foot bed and firm, grippy sole. I wonder why it took me so long to get back to these.I have been told I am a perfect size 10.5. Being between sizes, I wasn't sure which side of the coin I should be on. I went smaller because I didn't want extra foot bed to trip me like on my 11 Chicos (the 10 had weird arch support so I had to go 11). This was an excellent choice. As the photos show, they are about perfect without foot overhang or extra foot bed sticking out.If you are closer to an 11 you might be pushing it a bit with 10s. If closer a perfect 10.5 or lower, I don't think you can go wrong with the 10s.If you are deciding between a half size, I hope this helps. If it did, please indicate it with the button.

5.0 out of 5 stars Side panels and strap padding make these very comfortable - fit and tread is similar to Hurricane XLT
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2015
I got in one shipment all in size mens size 11:

Teva Obern 11
Teva Toachi 11
Teva Katavi 11
Teva Hurricane 11

Katavi - of the four, these fit me the best and were the most comfortable. The Katavi and Hurricanes had a virtually identical fit once adjusted, but the suede strapping and mesh panels on the Katavi made them more comfortable than the Hurricanes - for the same fit. The Toachi were far far too narrow and spongy feeling with what seemed a bad tread design, so the Katavi are the winners for me.

Katavi 10 3/4 oz 308g (single mens 11)

Here are the differences and comparisons of the various sandals (see photos):

Weight of single sandal (size 11):

Obern 383g (13 1/2oz)
Toachi 343g (12oz)
Katavi 308g (10 3/4oz)
Hurricane 295g (10 1/2oz)

Note that that the Katavi and Hurricane XLT weigh almost exactly the same, even though the Hurricane is billed as ultra-light and the Katavi not advertised as such so much by Teva.

The four from top, side, tread are in review photos.

Hurricane and Katavi had identical treads with different slightly foot beds. The shape and foot fit of the beds was virtually identical for the Hurricane and Katavi. The Obern was close, but had a higher arch support and was more rigid and felt a bit narrower at the middle foot. I felt the arch support too much on the Oberns. The Toachi in contrast had an extremely narrow tread and footbed and my foot could not even fit on it.

All of these were size 11 in mens - but they fit very differently.

The Hurricane and Katavi are the most similar, and the Katavi with the extra side mesh panels and suede material for the strapping was much more comfortable with and without socks. The material used for the Hurricanes was not nearly as comfortable and the expose rings added to that feeling compared to the Katavi. The Hurricanes, however, I expect would handle being wet better than the Katavi and dry faster.
