Customer Reviews Teva Midform Boot

I am here to give you the FULL rundown on these boots! I kept them and love them now but it was not without substantial effort. I am a size 9 with a slightly wide foot but not enough that I buy wide shoes. I’ve had trouble finding boots and I saw these and loved them. I bought them in a 8.5, 9, and 9.5 to really figure out the best fit. When I first tried them on I would have given them a 1 for comfort. Here’s the info and how I made them work for me. First, the toe box is very narrow. Usually this is a deal breaker for me. I sized up to a 9.5 and that made it better. But if you have a truly wide foot, these will be too uncomfortable. I also used one of those shoe stretchers and I think it gave me a tiny bit of room. Second, this shoe is long. I needed a 9.5 for toe comfort but could have worn an 8.5 for length. So because I sized up, I had a boot that was too big and needed to make adjustments because my heels were slipping a TON. I tried thick socks- no took up too much toe space. Full insoles- nope, same issue, took up too much space in toe box. Half insoles- better but didn’t help heel slip enough. Silicone heel pads- this was a winner for me! Still some wiggle room in toes but kept my heel planted in the boot. Applying the pads in this boot is tricky, you have to really pull the boot open when you put your foot in to prevent your socks from ripping the pad off the boot. But now I can do it quickly. I wear regular socks, like you would with a tennis shoe. And I do a lace lock on the second-from-the-top shoelace loop, this part is a must to secure your foot in the shoe and prevent blisters. Third, this is a high ankle boot so if you have a wide ankle, wide lower leg, or your calves are crooked (like mine, they sort of go off to the side instead of directly behind my leg), this boot will rub on your upper ankle and quickly cause irritation. I can only wear these with leggings or jeans tucked into the top. Maybe will soften up with time. Fourth, I have a high arch and there is little/no support. You’ll have to add insoles if you need support. All that being said. These are now comfortable! And I just love how they look, they are aesthetically the perfect boot for me! These can work for you if you have a naturally narrow foot and slim leg, or if you’re willing to put in the effort.

I love Teva boots and sandals. My last pair of boots I wore my normal size, 6.5, but this time I sized up based on other reviews, and the 7 fit much better. There is some room in the toe box but since I am planning to wear these around town, not for hiking, that shouldn't be a problem. The soles have lots of cushion, I think they'll do well for standing or walking around a lot.

Fit was good just liked something else better.
