About a month and a half ago, a representative from Onlineshoes.com contacted me and asked if I would be interested in trying out a new Teva shoe, the Women's TevaSphere. I'm a fan of Onlineshoes.com (what's not to love about a shoe store that has a million different options, free shipping, and free returns for up to 365 days - that's customer service!). And I'm already a fan of Teva - see this tan line beauty?
I live in my Teva Mush sandals from the time it gets warm enough until my piggies are freezing. So this seemed to be a perfect fit.
I was told that I could chose between the TevaSphere Trail or the TevaSphere Speeds, and then pick the color. The options were pretty awesome. I went with the Speeds, simply because they were a little lighter (and I'm a girl and liked the look just a little better). From the Onlinshoes.com website, this is what I learned about the gems before receiving them:
"Be prepared for any terrain in the Teva TevaSphere
Speed athletic shoe. Streamlined for high performance and a sleek look,
this women's trail shoe boasts a synthetic and mesh upper for
lightweight, breathable comfort from start to finish. The TevaSphere
outsole, featuring Spider Original rubber for grip, has a spherical heel
with a support pod for stability that doesn't add too much weight. Next
time you hit the trail for a run, tackle an obstacle course or just
head out for an afternoon stroll, bring along your new favorite workout
partner, the Teva TevaSphere Speed hiking shoe.
- Cushioned footbed
- Lightly padded tongue and collar
- Nylon shank
- Six-eye lace closure
- Spider Original Rubber Outsole
- Synthetic and mesh upper
- TevaSphere
- Textile lining
- Weight: 7.7 oz
This is pretty cool. If you can't read it, it says, " Congratulations... you just helped Teva clean a river or beach somewhere in the world. Confused? Don't be. For every pair of footwear we sell, we work with non-profits to clean a foot of shoreline. We call it A PAIR FOR A FOOT."
Now I'm not really running much these days, but we've been walking trails like it's my business so I've gotten a lot of use out of the shoes. Let me tell you, they are comfy. They seem to be a little more narrow than I'm used to, but it's nothing uncomfortable and actually just feel good and snug. The half size down is a perfect fit for me. I love the color of the lunar rock - it's kind of a grayish color with accents in yellow and green. They are cute kick around shoes, as well as trail shoes. I feel like they offer good support throughout my foot and the gripping on the bottom definitely makes it a trail shoe. Once this baby comes, I'm hoping to get some good trail runs in them as they seem very light weight and breathable.
I couldn't be happier with the shoe. Teva has done things right with the Women's TevaSphere line and as always, OnlineShoes.com came through for me!
