Teva slim - yay or nay?

[AmoungUs]

Yay = minimalist gorpcore perfection
Nay = they’ll slice your toes off, there is a reason teva sandals straps are wide

yay!

Nay.

Nay, those straps don't look like they'd be comfortable.

Yay. I’ve been wearing the flatforms for the past few years so they might be my buy for the summer.

Points for use of "gorpcore".

I've never had my toes sliced off by narrow-strap sandals. Try on.

Yay, they look nice, though not sure about the brown

Yay

Ohhh... I've always struggled with Teva's as I have little feet and they look weird to me. Now I want to try those!

I have the slim ones and they are very comfortable. But I have slim ladylike feet 😬 so I don’t know if they would work for everyone.

BTW I’ve been on Mumsnet for decades and this is the first time I’ve seen anything I own featured on the Style and Beauty board. It’s like winning the lottery 🤣

Cute. Can’t really bear the wider version.

I like those.

Yes! They look great, especially the orange ones. Onto the birthday list they go!

I have these in the caramel / tan colour. Not the most comfortable walking sandals but that’s more about the soles that the straps. My feet also slip forward slightly. But I’ve walked to and from the pub (mile each way) through a field so that’s not bad.

Thank you all, I will order them! I’m not normally a brown person but I’m weirdly drawn to this colour in the slim, maybe the minimalist nature?

@DreadPirateRobots thank you, points logged. I’ve not seen the term used on mumsnet yet…

@N0Tfunny delighted to have made your day, but you haven’t really won the style and beauty lottery until someone calls your item “vile” or similar hyperbole.

Can you all hold off clicking on the link for ba bit please ?I can't see them ,all Iget is an error message 429 Too Many Requests

I do like and wear brown including brown sandals - I think what made me hesitate is it might look a bit like they’re pretending to be leather IYSWIM. The colour itself is nice. But for hardcore gorpcore im drawn to the orange ⛺️

Do you work for Teva? I’ve just panic ordered them off the back of this 😂

(I don’t really think you work for Teva)

I ordered and returned the slim leather ones. I loved the straps but wanted either a more refined footbed or a proper Teva footbed. The foamy stuff felt cheap to me.

I have them. They are great. Cuter than the traditional wide strap IMHO but still comfortable.

But I do definitely lean Gorpcore, so I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would say they are hideous beyond belief.

Nay

I like Tevas, these and the wider ones, but am 😲 at the price.
I buy cheaper lookie-likies!

Yes.

WTF is 'gorpcore' though?

Wearing outdoor clothes in your every day life when you are not hiking Kilimanjaro. Fleece jackets, hiking-esque boots, Patagonia gilets, etc.

I have a couple of the arizona love ones. Looking forward to using them in the summer. Boughg in the sale. Very comfy and I don't have slim lady like feet. Take a look if these don't work.

they look like the illegitimate lovechild of some cheap flip flops and a horse's headcollar, sorry. Hard nay (neigh) from me.....
