Customer Reviews Teva Arrabelle Sandal Leather

I bought this as a neutral shoe for the summer but unfortunately I did not discover until after wearing to work that the vinyl or whatever man-made material lines the footbed doesn't absorb the sweat, so the shoe sticks and makes a noise as you walk. I think I bought this before the reviews that I see now that say it makes a "farting" sound, which is an accurate way to describe it. Another reviewer said that foot powder didn't work either. If I hadn't worn it already outside I would have returned it. I may try to salvage it by having a shoe repair shop add a thin layer of leather, but I don't know if that will make the fit too tight.

Fits well however the foot bed is non-absorbent and so the shoe "Squeaks" or worse yet "Farts" as you walk. Powder does not fix it.

I have been looking for a pair of brown wedges that aren't 4 inches high, so I was super excited about these. However, I have high insteps and there was no stretch in the straps that go across the top of your feet. I couldn't even get my foot the whole way into the shoe. So I have to return.

After striking out with two other Teva wedge style sandals, I was really hoping these would do the trick. This shoe had two main issues: 1. The leather near the heel strap sagged, as if it needed a wider foot to hold it in place. It looked sloppy on. 2. While the shoe was fairly comfortable, when I would walk in it, the design of the sole somehow caused just the perfect suction amount to happen to my bare foot. That made for some fairly hilarious sounds as I walked. If I were a 7th grade boy, I would probably keep them just for that entertainment value. Bodily functions are funny at that age. But for a grown woman who wants a cute shoe to wear for both casual and professional engagements, it's also kind of important to not sound like there are flatulence issues with every step. Despite walking in them multiple times on carpet, that never improved, so they went back in the box and got shipped back to Zappos. At this point, I'm ready for Teva to hire me to be a design consultant.

While these are comfortable, I really didn't like the way they looked when I put them on. The straps across the feet are tight and made the shoe feel smaller than it was. I ended up returning them.

Middle straps have no stretch to them and are very narrow. I could not even get my moderately wide foot into it.
