Teva Zymic Men's Sandals (Open Box)

The Zymic sandals seem to be a relatively new offering from Teva. The look, specifically the Z-straps, makes them very similar to the Chaco line of sandals. They are less adjustable and lighter, so they feel more like a standard Teva sandal. They are comfortable as everyday, casual sandals, and are most suited for that purpose. They can be used for basic hiking, but the tread isn't particular aggressive and I would recommend the Hurricane line for more serious hiking. 5/31/22 UPDATE: I'm going to update my review to five stars. I've had these for a month now and they've been solid. Comfortable, easy to keep clean, but what I've discovered is these solve the biggest issue I have with Teva sandals, there is no foot movement. With the usual design, my feet will tend to slide a bit, especially vertical, no matter how tight the straps are. This is annoying when going uphill or downhill. It has to do with the design of the straps, because it happens no matter what size I wear. With the Zymic, I don't know what Teva changed, but my feet are solid. Going uphill or downhill, there is no movement. I suspect it's due to the Z-strap design, along with a slightly stickier footbed. But these are now largely my everyday, casual sandals. I do hope these are successful enough Teva considers making a "Trail" variant with a more rugged Vibram sole. Because those would probably be my perfect hiking sandals. As with most Teva sandals, I would recommend going down 1-2 sizes. I normally wear size 10 shoes, but Teva sandals need to be sized down twice for me. I bought these in size 8 and they fit perfectly.
