Men's Mush Ii Sandal

I'm going to start this review by clarifying that I have a lean, narrow foot. I have a C toe and a B heel. So this review is biased towards a narrow foot. That being said, I have tried about twenty different sandals to find a couple that fit reasonably snug. So for comparison purposes this may be a useful guide for people. My preferences are light weight, comfortable, with a heel strike that has some padding. I also like moderate arch support. I don't want a lot of flop in my flip. I don't want a negative heel. I'm going to list the sandals I've tried, and give a brief comparison, which should be helpful to everyone. I'll start with this one: Teva Mush ll - (9) These are by far the lightest of the bunch, weighing in at a mere 92g each. They're also comfortable with a fairly narrow footbed and a snug thong. So, yes, I love these. And at $25 they are a bargain, even though they won't last as long as some of the more expensive sandals here. The middle of the heel-strike is a little harder than the surrounding area and some people have complained about it, but I haven't been bothered by it in the short periods of time I've spent in them. Reef Mens Leather Fanning ll - (9 Mens) These are the heaviest of all the sandals I've tried, weighing in at 219 grams each. The footbed is comfortable but more firm than some of the others. Nice looking. They have an average fit, (fairly snug), but they were a little lose on me. I think these would last a long time. Unlike with the Reef Draftsman, I did not feel the bottle opener under my arch. Comfortable, but expensive and heavy. Reef Leather Slap ll - (Mens 9) Oddly, this sandal was a full size shorter than any other Reefs I tried, (A full 1/2 inch), so order up. They weighed in at 205 grams each, making them the second heaviest in this comparison. Had they been the same size as the Fanning ll's they would have been the heaviest. Average fit. These are one of the most comfortable sandals in this line-up. Very cushy heel. Reef Phantom LE - (Mens 9) This leather sandal is much lighter, weighing in at 142g. Somewhat more snug fitting than average. Very comfortable and attractive. Reasonably priced. This pair was a keeper for me. Reef Phantom Prints - (9) Weighing in at 113g, these were the second lightest sandal of the bunch. Snug fitting and comfortable, these are my personal favorites. Reasonably soft heel-strike with an average width footbed and just the right amount of arch support. They won't likely last as long as some of the heavier sandals, but they can be had for half the cost. I've seen them for $20 on up, depending on color and size. Reef Phantoms - (Mens 10) These synthetic sandals seem to be made elsewhere from the other two Phantoms listed above. The fit is much different. They are wider in the footbed and sloppy fitting. These are made for a wide foot. Again, they are fairly light, weighing in at 134g, and I got these a full size up from the other two because everyone said they ran small. I think they run just a half size smaller. Reef Draftsman - (9) This is a leather sandal with no additional heel support. It also has a bottle opener on the bottom. Nice looking, fairly snug fitting, and fairly light, (About 156g) but this sandal has an issue. As others have indicated, you can feel the bottle opener under your arch. I don't think anyone would be comfortable in these for long. I sent these back. Reef Crew - (9) This leather sandal is fairly light at 138g each. They have a slender footbed and a somewhat snug fit. I like that, however, there is no additional heel support and they run as high as $60. Reef Twinpin - (9) These basic synthetic leather sandals are fairly light at 137g each, and they have a slender footbed, but the thong is very lose and has no additional heel-strike. Sanuk Fraid So - (10) These sandals weighed in at a modest 139g each and were really comfortable and attractive. I loved this sandal. Unfortunately, they have a very wide footbed and a very lose fitting thong. Yep, fraid so. But if you have fat feet, you'll love these. Sanuk M Fraid - (9) These leather/poly sandals weighed in at 175g each, making them one of the heavier sandals here. They have a slender footbed, (A full half inch thinner than the Fraid So), but with a sloppy thong. Sanuk Beer Cozy - (9) This fabric sandal has a wide footbed and a sloppy thong, but weighed in at a respectable 134g each. These have a very cushy, comfortable footbed. People rave about how comfortable they are. But you need to have fat or wide feet. Dang! Teva Men's Classic - (9) This is a very basic, uninspired sandal with a ruff, heavily textured, old school footbed. Perfect for some people, but I found them uncomfortable. It's light, but not as light as the Mush ll's. The thong was more loose than the Mush ll and it runs a little more money. Teva Mush ll (Canvas) (9) I listed these as well because the canvas thong fits more loosely than the regular Mush ll's and weighed a little more. Other than that they have the same footbed.

I love my TEVA’S !!! I highly recommend! Comfortable, stylish and great quality.

I recently picked up a pair of Teva flip flops, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the difference in comfort. The footbed is incredibly cushioned and supportive, making them perfect for long walks, beach days, or just lounging around. What really impressed me was the fit—they hug my feet just right without feeling too tight or loose. They stay secure without that annoying flop some sandals have, and I never have to worry about blisters or discomfort. Teva has really nailed it with both style and functionality. Highly recommend if you’re looking for flip flops that offer both comfort and durability. These are easily the best pair I’ve owned!

I think I'm on my 8th pair of Teva sandals. The fit is good and they're comfortable. I wear them most of the time here in sunny Florida. A pair will last me about a year and I've never had a pair break.

I only buy these since i first got over ten years ago, there absolutely the most comfortable, durable n are slip resistant, believe me you wont regret buying there Awesome. Love you Teva

These flip flops are really great! As you can probably tell from the name, the sole is slightly mushy on top, and feels like foam. Over time, the sole has slowly compressed into the shape of my foot, which is definitely a good thing - you can tell if you accidentally put on someone else's pair. I have found that the material slowly wears away though, so you can see the bottom layer peeking through (especially around the ball of your feet), but this is after about a year of medium-heavy use. It is true that the logo near the heel of your foot remains solid as the material around it conforms to your foot, but I've never had an issue with it. The construction is really fantastic. The strap has managed to stay securely tied to the flip flop base, and the material is comfortable. If your flip flop catches on the sidewalk, you don't have to worry about the strap separating from the sole. However, if you are prone to tripping, you might find that the foam-like upper layer slowly gets chipped off. It does soak up some water if you're walking in watery areas, as it isn't made of rubber. This means you will sometimes have to dry your flip flops, or feel the water as you walk in them. It's definitely not as bad as walking around in wet socks though, as the material isn't that absorbent. Overall, these flip flops are well made, soft, and comfortable, and I'll definitely be looking towards Teva for my next pair.

These are hands down the most comfortable flip flops I have ever had. I just bought my second pair. They have a great selection of colors and designs and the prices on Amazon are unbeatable. Many other reviewers have complained about the plastic logo marker inlaid in the heel footbed. Although I do think this is not the most ideal place for this logo I don't think it takes anything away from the comfort aspect and I don't even notice it. Be aware that the footbed will conform to your foot quite well, but this does take away some of the comfort when the foam gets crushed down. That's the reason I bought a second pair. These are great for camping and traveling as they are super light compared to other brands. You can always catch me with these in my backpack on the trail or stuffed in my carry on somewhere. I don't travel without my Tevas. I was very interested in Chacos as a second alternative to these that may be a heavier duty outdoor option, but after looking at them I just couldn't get past the weight of Chacos when compared to the Tevas. The Chacos felt like a brick on my feet where the Tevas are literally like a feather and you don't even notice you're wearing them. Also an advantage for lightweight traveling and backpacking. If you're looking for a quality, lightweight, comfortable footwear option I would not hesitate to pick these up. I think you will be very pleased with all aspects of this simple piece of footwear. Don't leave home without them!

I've been wearing Teva Mush flip flops for nearly almost 20 years (and its sandals for longer), which undoubtedly dates me, but I think I have a good sample size to know that these flip flops have definitely declined over the years in terms of quality. While one pair would last years, now they only last for a year or year and a half if I am lucky. While fluctuations in weight or gait for that matter could wear these down faster, in my experience it is the material used. It used to take me a while (maybe as much as a month) to actually break in a new pair of Teva flip flops. Now it only takes about a week. The foam being used in these is not nearly as good as it used to be. Many people I know used to compare walking in these to "walking on clouds," but the "mush" is not nearly as cushy as it used to be. The tread wears about the same and the quality and variety of the strap/thong has remained good. Understandably, cutting production costs, changing suppliers, and possibly manufacturing methods is part of a more profitable flip flop. I'll continue to wear these because I like the style, fit, and comfort. I just wish they were priced more fairly if I have to replace them more often.

Wie von Teva gewohnt, sehr gute Verarbeitung, leichte Sandale, bequem zu tragen. Preis und Qualität durch das langjähriges Tragen vollkommen gerecht.

100% recomendables.

les plus: une paire toute simple, légère et qui taille bien ( un poil juste pour mes pieds larges, mais ça doit être tout bon pour les autres…) Seul point un peu désagréable: lanière en toile rugueuse, qui irrite un peu la peau au début, sinon ça serait impeccable.

After I bought my first pair of Teva Mush flip-flops IIRC ~2016, these became my one-and-only go-to flip flop. I have since purchased and worn through ~20 pairs. They are not indestructible, but for all the positives, I wear these almost 100% of the time through the ~5 months of suitable weather where I live. * Comfort: I find these more comfortable than any footwear I've ever worn for long distance walking. I have walked in excess of 50,000 steps in a single day wearing these, and outside of ankle discomfort which I imagine would occur regardless of what's under the foot, I am ready for the next day of walking. Anything else I have ever worn under a similar load would produce painful blisters. * Break-in: While you can wear these comfortably from day one, there *is* a break-in period as the foam molds to your foot. The fit out of the box may be a bit tight, but will loosen up as the foot gradually sinks into the molding foam. Between ~5–15k steps, I have found that they squeak, however this quickly disappears as they break in further. * Flip-Flopping: Related to break-in. I have found that, while they produce the typical smacking pattern associated with this type of footwear, as the foam molds this gradually disappears. These are the least flip-floppy flip-flops I have ever flopped, which happens to be one of the reasons these flip-flops represent the current pinnacle of flip-flop technology. * Sizing: Take heed of the EU/US sizing points. Once you have narrowed in on a size, aim to hit something close to what you typically wear. I am usually somewhere around a 45/11. I have purchased and comfortably worn size 12s which when I first purchased a pair I believed was the better size because of how they fit from day one. However, don't be fooled by where your heel sits on a fresh pair. A fresh size 11 seems too small out of the box, however, once broken in, is clearly the correct size vs a 12 for me. * Longevity: These are foam flip-flops. This has many advantages, but unfortunately longevity isn't one. However, I think the trade-off is well worth it. YMMV (likely will), however I go through ~2–3 pairs per year, though I likely walk more than most. By my best estimates, I get ~1.3M steps out of a pair. How you walk will likely influence this a lot, and I could imagine someone getting 2–3x the lifespan. * Failure Modes: Related to longevity, and likely very personal. I suspect I heel strike more than the average person for example. The death of a pair will come from one of two things for me: Either the strap will break or string out in the front, in my case always on the left side, or the foam will chew through until my heel is hitting bare ground, always on the right side. As the strap slowly severs, it gets thin to the point that I have managed to lacerate the area between my toes. I have learned to retire a pair to keep around for light walking inside once the strap or soles thin. Lacerating your skin, or getting glass in your heel, both of which I have experienced, is not worth it. Final point: If you have never owned a pair of these flip-flops, you should try them. These are, for me, the best flip-flops humankind has yet produced.

Very comfy. I'm usually an eleven but buy ten in tea and they fit fine
