Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2023
I bought these because I was in the market for an active style sandal and these were on sale for a very good price. I realized that these are the same material Crocs are made of, and I figured these would let me try out what a Croc might be like without actually having to order a pair of Crocs. I also hoped they might be great sandals for the beach and campground showers.
They are cute, lightweight, and very comfy. The front strap is not too tight for my feet. The ankle strap doesn't quite sit flat on my foot, but it's not a dealbreaker, and the fact that there is only one slightly adjustable velcro strap on these means they're quick to get on and off compared to other Teva styles.
I wore them on a day trip to the Oregon Coast, where I got to test them out at several beaches. These are great for going in the water, but the straps trapped a lot of sand against my feet which made me feel like I was wearing sandals made of sandpaper until I could get rinsed off -- that was very uncomfortable and pretty disappointing. They also didn't feel the most secure on uneven and rocky terrain; the looseness of the front strap meant my foot would slide around in the sandal. I probably won't be wearing them to the beach again, at least not in the Pacific Northwest where the beaches are either very fine sand or full of rocks. I'm also concerned about the visible wear on the ball of the treads after just one day; these are definitely on the more casual end of the active sandal spectrum and not nearly as sturdy as the Hurricane Xlt2s.
The weight and material do make them great for walking around, I can't imagine my feet getting tired in these, and I don't think they're going to give me blisters. I still think they'll make a good campground sandal, great for that first morning trip to the restrooms when you're still in your PJs, and to wear in the showers. I wouldn't buy a pair at full price but for what I paid for them, I am happy to have them.
I am glad I read the reviews and listened to them. I wear an 8W/EU39 and ordered these in a size 7, which was a good call, these fit me well. I would say they run a full size larger than the similarly styled Hurricane Xlt2, which I ordered in a size 8, fit me perfectly, and have about the same size footbed as the Drifts in a 7. The Drift's footbed might even be a tiny bit larger despite being a size smaller. So, while I did order a size that fit me, I rated the fit as "too large" because I am certain these would have been much too large for me in my usual size.
