FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

These sandals are designed primarily for water activities and light, casual wear near water. They offer some traction but lack the robust support and protection needed for serious hiking trails.

Do they float?

Yes, the Teva ApreAqua Drift Sandals are constructed from buoyant EVA material, meaning they are designed to float in water.

How do I clean the sandals?

Rinse them with clean water after use. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and water, then air dry them away from direct heat.

Can I wear these in the ocean?

Yes, they are suitable for both fresh and saltwater. Rinsing with clean water after ocean use is recommended to remove salt residue.

What is the purpose of the rubber pods on the outsole?

The rubber pods are designed to enhance traction on wet and slippery surfaces, providing better grip when you are near or in water.

How secure is the strap?

The sandals feature FuseLock™ hook and loop technology for a secure and adjustable fit that is designed to stay in place during activity.

Are these unisex?

This particular model is listed as women's, but Teva offers similar designs that may be unisex or available in men's sizing.

Troubleshooting

Sandals feel loose even after adjusting strap.

Ensure the hook-and-loop fastener is clean and free of debris. Re-adjust the strap for a tighter fit, making sure the hook-and-loop surfaces make full contact.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

Ensure the outsole rubber pods are clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for traction, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a risk. Move cautiously on very wet, smooth surfaces.

Discomfort after prolonged wear.

These sandals are optimized for water and quick wear. For extended periods of walking on dry land, consider a sandal with more cushioning and support. Ensure the strap is adjusted for a comfortable, not overly tight, fit.

Strap losing adhesion.

Clean both the hook and loop sides of the fastener with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing the fastener to excessive dirt or sand. If adhesion issues persist, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent buoyancy, designed to float if accidentally removed in water.
  • Quick-drying material is perfect for water-based activities.
  • Adjustable strap ensures a secure and customizable fit.
  • Lightweight construction for comfortable wear.
  • Good traction on wet surfaces due to rubber outsole pods.

Cons

  • May not provide enough arch support for extended walking on dry land.
  • The minimalist design might not appeal for fashion-conscious use off the trail.
  • Solely EVA construction may offer less cushioning than sandals with thicker or composite soles.
  • Adhesive fastening might wear out over extended periods of heavy use.
  • Limited ankle support due to the sandal design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the hook-and-loop strap to fit your foot securely. Ensure the strap is firmly fastened before engaging in water activities.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult feet, particularly those engaged in water sports or outdoor activities near water. They are designed for use in fresh and salt water. Not intended for rugged hiking or technical terrain where robust footwear is required.

Care:

  1. Rinse with clean, cool water after each use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine.
  2. Clean with mild soap and water if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or dry.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
