Teva Arrowood Riva Waterproof

My first pair of these finally wore out after ~8 years of use and alot of abuse. I was delighted to see that Teva still makes them. Other than some minor design updates, my new pair is identical in terms of comfort and quality. Importantly, there's lots of toe wiggle room. I wear 9D dress shoes and, like running shoes, go up one size for these - 10. They fit perfectly out of the box.

Fantastic shoes! Purchased specifically for a trip to Ecuador where it was forecasted to rain every day. I'm happy to report that for both walking around town (including cobblestone streets) and for serious hiking (Cotopaxi and Cajas) these shoes provided much better support than athletic shoes and were waterproof as advertised. At first, if you're not used to real hiking shoes they don't feel ultra-comfortable like sneakers do but the rigid sole keeps your feet from getting exhausted on days where you do a lot of walking over uneven terrain. I typically walk 8,000 steps/day and during this trip I averaged 17,000 steps/day and my feet were fine.

I treated mine with mink oil which darkened the shade. I replace the shoelaces with fast adjust type. Wrinkles and creases started to appear after the first day. These are comfortable and secure on my feet. The are great for walking, but are a bit substantial for running shoes. With 3 months of wear, they have shown a couple of loose threads, but they seem like they will last a very long time. The vibram sole isn't showing any wear that I can see. YMMV. The waterproofing and shank are big pluses for me. They are a bit pricey, but good. *Update* After 4 months, the rubber toecaps are coming unglued. one has a tear in it. It looks like I will still get a lot of wear out of them, but Teva can do better. They functioned as expected when I took a short walk in 4" of snow. They kept my feet totally dry. The grip was reassuring on the frozen ground. They are not insulated, but for going to and from your car and keeping your feet dry, they work.

Nice shoes, not quite as comfortable as my previous 4 year old pair of Teva Arrowoods, but I'm happy with them. There was a small defect in the toe region of one shoe. If I had seen that in a walk in store, I would not have bought them, but its just a cosmetic issue and overall I am very happy with the shoes. I got these for hiking with my dog and they work great.

I wrote a swooning review of a predecessor to this shoe. They were the best pair of shoes I had ever owned. Because of this, I held off on these, because I wasn't sure what the difference between the regular Teva Riva and the Teva "Arrowood Riva" actually was. Now that I've finally bought a pair I can offer some observations. First off, this shoe is tougher than the precessor; the leather is thicker and more substantial, as is the rear of the shoe. The front feels about the same, although this shoe does feel heavier and less supple. I've oiled it up in order to loosen up the tougher leather some, but so far that's a work in progress. I wore out my old pair. I expect to do the same with these, but thanks to tougher materials I expect it to take longer. PROS: still a moccasin, although tougher than the older Teva Riva CONS: not as light as the Teva Riva, doesn't feel as cushioned Overall, this is still a 5-star shoe, and well ahead of the competition.

Very well made. Premium materials and feel. Fits true to size and the vibram sole is a great addition to Teva as always. This is my second set of shoes from Teva and they last for years as long as we maintain them!

I've used hiking shoes in the ICU for work for the past couple of years and wore out my Ahnu Montara II's that I have used heavily. I finally found something with a similar feel and the vibram sole that I think are going to work great for me. I bought these too large and needed to return them for a size 7. However, they are men's sizing and I'm a female so there's that! Either way, they are great work shoes for me.

I like the product that I use for hiking purposes.

Perfect material, design. Already had similar boots from same brand, so I knew the number 41,5 will fit me - and it did. Recommend!
