This is my second purchase of a Teva hiking shoe. Both shoes have been excellent. They fit as expected, they are sturdy and I feel confident that I am well supported, and my wife thinks they look really good. Since I am not a runner/jogger, I decided to try something different from my Brooks running shoes (sneakers?) when I am wearing jeans and sweatshirt. The Teva shoes are great. I walk 3 miles in less than an hour, and these shoes are comfortable and sturdy.
Great shoes. Would have give a 5 star but the tongue needs padding and more coverage
27 October 2022 - I've been wearing Teva Arrowood Rivas on a daily basis for 6 or 7 years (10 or 12 pairs total) and was quite disappointed when they were discontinued. These Riva RPs appear to be very similar to the Arrowood in style, fit and color. They appear to have the same waterproof breathable lining that keep my feet dry and odor free. Note: I've only worn the new Riva RPs for one day so I'll revisit this review if things change.PLEASE NOTE: even though these shoes are listed as "charcoal/blue" they are neither charcoal nor blue. Yes, they have a blue stripe-like thing on the back of the heel. Yes, about half of the BOTTOM of the sole is blue. Yes, the remaining part of the sole could be described as charcoal including the bit that goes up the sides a couple of centimeters. However, the predominant color is OLIVE GREEN. The sides are green, the tops are green, the tongues are green.This does not make the shoes ugly, far from it. It does however make the description look a bit silly.
The previous version of Teva's Riva was a perfect, comfortable fit -- so much so, it was my day-to-day walking shoe for the better part of a decade. The new design is obviously cheaper for Teva to make and no longer comfortable to wear. In addition to the complaints listed in other reviews (eyelets instead of leather loops for the laces, shorter laces that are difficult to double-knot, and a smaller loop of material on the outside heel that's difficult to slide my finger through), the tongue is narrower and, unlike the previous design, it's fastened inside the shoe where it creates a bulge that painfully rubs against both sides of my ankles. I would gladly pay more for the previous design, but I'm not paying the same for an inferior version, so back to Amazon it goes.
Bought these from OutlandUSA here on Amazon for the best price around. They quickly shipped with care. Love the shoes. Feels broken in right out of the box. Would definitely buy again especially if they are from OutlandUSA.com!
I really like the looks and design of the shoe. I was looking for some low top hiker type shoes for everyday wear the office and on walks with the dog around the neighborhood. The shoes arrived with one different length shoelaces in each shoe. The right one is shorter and almost can't be double knotted unless I tie it pretty tight. This doesn't work because if you tie the shoes tight, the tongue design has an area that doubles over itself and causes a point of pain at the top of the foot on both size. The metal eyelet at the top of the shoe also digs into the foot if you tie tight at all. The shoe is very comfortable if you leave it untied or so loose that your foot is flopping around in the shoe, but if you tie it normally it becomes uncomfortable very quickly. I've worn lots of Keens and Oboz shoes and boots and I was expecting a similar experience with this nice looking shoe. I guess I'll keep looking.
Teva has changed the lacing technique on the latest iteration of this low hiker. Previously they used leather loops for lacing keeping the lacing from being a bump against your foot. No longer the case. They have gone to eyelets causing a bump right on top of your foot. Very disappointed in this change. I’m getting ready to hike the Camino de Santiago again and these have been my shoes for the last 3 trips. I’ve worn out 6 or 7 pairs in the last 6 years and gone through 2 iterations of this shoe. This change has caused a painful bump/bruise right on the top of my foot.And while I vent they cheapened the back loop up and made it harder to grab the loops to pull on the shoes.Total savings for Teva perhaps $3? I’ll pay the extra Teva. Go back to the old ways!!
Got these for my husband he love these to work in . He is a logger and they are lite weight and good traction in the woods would recommend to anyone that likes to be outside to get them
