Comments about Katavi Thong:
I found these thongs a couple of years ago and wear them every day so I bought another pair but I just can't wear out the first pair. They are very comfortable and last forever.I defiantly would buy again and will if I can wear the first two out.

Comments about Katavi Thong:
This is my second pair and will not be my last.
I have searched for years for a sandal that will not make my feet tired or sore and I found it in the Teva Katavi. It's a very confortable stable and supporting Sandal.
This sandal is also stylish and very durable.
My bulldog which can chew through an engine block got a hold of them and was not able t destroy them.

Comments about Katavi Thong:
I wore Katavi thongs for many years. Last pair I purchased was about 8 years ago. I liked them so much I went back the next day and bought another pair! Still wearing one of the pairs! I'm not thrilled with the new Katavi. What's with the rim around the edge? Sad Teva changed the design. I ordered a pair of the new version on line. They're nice and well constructed, but uncomfortable! I have wide feet, (never a problem with Katavi before) and that ridge around the sole really bothers my big toes and parts of my feet. I am still trying to break them in. I can't wear them all day or I'll get a blister. I'm hoping that ridge will wear down. If not I may just slice it off!!! I can't just ditch a $$ sandal!!
