Teva 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 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!

Very Nice on 52 yr old Oil Field tired feet ... arch support is suddle,,, but comfy. For the price! Would buy again..

These are definitely the second rendition of the Mush line, barely being mushy at all. Teva's Mush flip flops are a classic standby, being mushy enough that your feet sink into them thoroughly, while also being sturdy and waterproof enough to use as kayaking, canoeing, or river shoes. The problem with the old mush flip flops was that the give was enough that any dirt would tend to stay embedded in the mush, making them less than ideal for beaches or very dirty places. Furthermore the mush was so soft that it tended to wear out quickly, even if the actual soles of the flip flops did not. The new model, the Mush 2, is significantly less mushy than its predecessor, but is better designed for use in sandy areas and for longer durability. The soles are some sort of high durability thick foam rubber that's almost 1" thick. When you stand on it, about the top 1/4" flexes slightly, but your feet don't sink in completely like the older model. They're waterproof/durable like almost every Teva product, so they're now usable as shower shoes or beach sandals as well since they won't retain dirt and grime. The thong is a canvas upper with some sort of softer material on the part that rests against the top of your foot, while the part that splits your toes is made of the same slightly softer material (but still very durable) and curves the same as the webbing between your toes to keep it from chafing the insides of your toes.Overall these are probably some of the most comfortable flip flops I've worn, and definitely the most durable. The build quality is such that they're probably worth the $15 dollars, maybe $20 if you expect to use them a lot. If you're looking for a flip flop style with super comfort and plan to use them as regular shoes all the time, I'd go with the older model or a different model completely though. I got a pair that was apparently a less popular color that was 50% off and while I really like them, I don't see myself paying full price for them.

Second pair. Great fit. Extremely comfortable.

Size is not the same as originals. Order one size up, ie, for the old size 9, order a 10. Very comfortable.

I love my Teva Mush flip flops. I found two pair on sale at a shoe store in 2015. I bought them both because I wear size 14, and that size is hard to find. I was not disappointed as I'm still wearing both pair, ten years later. As a matter of fact, I'm waiting on a new pair to be delivered. Take it from a person that has lived in flip flops, all summer long, for over 30 years. Tiva Mush are well worth the money.

These shoes are good looking, durable, comfortable, good arch support. They are well-designed, which makes it all the more confusing that the traction on the bottom was overlooked. The traction is unforgivable. I don't understand why they made flip flops with dance shoe soles. You will need to find a way to modify the sole if you are walking on hard floors or somewhere with water. Your knee ligaments and skull integrity will depend on it.
