This is probably my tenth Teva sandal over a thirty year period and it is easily the best Teva ever. Someone criticized it for being narrower than any previous Tevas. That's right. It is narrower. That's one of the many reasons I love it. It actually fits my narrow foot. It's also a little shorter, so if you're used to ordering Teva sandals, better go up a half size. If you have a wide foot, don't even bother with these sandals. I have a pair of Tanza's also, but they're the typical width and length, so I'm selling them. But not just because of the fit. The Taochi 2 is superior in every way. The heal strike is more padded, there's slightly more arch support, the attachment points on the straps are more robust, there's more padding on the straps, the treads are more aggressive, and, of course, the Taochi's have a built-in drainage system and the quick release buckle. Buying these was a no-brainer. I just bought 3 pair.
I have owned several pairs of Teva Sandals. I just received my new pair of Teva Toachi 2 -Raven Color. These are by far the best fitting and most comfortable pair I have ever owned. I also own a pair of 300.00 Mephisto's. I like them both. For the money the Toachi is the best mens sandal for [$] I have ever owned. You guys did it right this time!
I hate to wear shoes BUT when I must, I wear this for indoor work, outdoor work, hiking, walking dogs etc etc. I have both colors and pray Teva never discontinues them. My wife feels the same about the women's version!
