   These are outstanding shoes/sandals. I am very hard to fit because my feet are very wide near the toes, so I always dread buying shoes. I usually have to buy shoes and extra 1/2 to 1 size too large to deal with my wide feet, but these fit perfectly in my true size. Great roomy toe space! I couldn’t be happier. I’m planning to buy at least one extra pair in case they phase these out.

   ADDITIONAL UPDATE: JUNE 2009. I took these as my sole shoes on a three-week trip to Greece. They’re great, but the soles (on both!) started to come off! I was able to glue them, so I got by, but I was very disappointed to have that happen on these expensive shoes. HOWEVER, I’d still give 5 stars because Teva is replacing them. It only cost me the $10 it took to ship them to Teva. Great customer service rocks.

   Have had a pair of the Omniums for about a month now. I take about an 11 1/2 size and ordered the 12. Fit is great. Very adjustable from loose to snug with front & rear velcro & lace thingys. Mostly been hiking in the woods, roads, & in the stream a little. Pretty nice for jogging thanks to the cush in the heel.
   
   Likes: Lite weight, adjustable, comfy, great traction, water resistant / quick drying, no socks needed.
   
   Dislikes: They will pick up small rocks – I need to stop at least once an outing to empty them out. Stones get trapped & you can’t get them out without taking the shoes off. They are a little funky looking also, but hey, who isn’t.
   
   Would definitely recommend.

   First off, very comfortable shoe. I’ve been wearing them almost daily for 2-3 months. But not much outdoor use, mostly to work and back. Not heavy use at all, and only a few months.
   
   So the other day when I had to break out the hot glue gun to start gluing the heel back on in several spots, I was a little disappointed. I see another reviewer was having the same problem. If you look at the picture, the dark part of the heel on the side was coming off, along with the dark part on the side ball of the foot.
   
   As long as the glue holds, I’ll keep wearing these because they’re just a nice shoe to wear. But I’ll wonder a bit in the future if I go to purchase another pair.

   Omnium is fantastic. Best of ANY footwear I’ve ever owned. From decades of pounding athletics I’ve developed a broad forefoot with a comparatively narrow heel (like haveing pancake flippers for feet). I had to over compensate by buying one or two sizes larger, just to accomodate my digits in the toe box. That led to my rear foot “swimming” in an oversized cavity, making it necessary to insert hemi-orthotics in order fill the void. What a pain in the butt, feet and wallet. I was on the verge of going “custom made” for everything until I ran into these by sheer accident. Now I’ve got three pairs and will be ordering a couple or three more. They have a wide forefoot and very secure rearfoot, along with excellent breathabliity (heat and moisture). Even in winter (dry cold in my part of the world), just a pair of woolen socks along with these is by far more comfortable than big, heavy boots or those damn “uggs” (ugly) sheep skins. Latter two options are too bulky and the “uggs” WAY too hot, once you are on the move. NOTE TO TEVA: don’t discontinue this product line until life discontinues me. “Thank you” just doesn’t cut it!

   In all the shoes that I wear I always have to used special insoles. but with this sandals the pain is gone and no insoles, This is by far the most comfortable sandal I ever had, highly recommended who suffer from pain in their feet like me.
