If you are familiar with the old Mush Tevas, and you are used to their sizing, be aware that the 2011 Mushes are considerably narrower and smaller.
This has been confirmed in numerous Amazon and in-person reviews of the Mush style, in addition to observing the differences by looking at the photos posted in these listings, as well as in my own in-hand/on-foot experience.
The old Mush sandals were wider and had a more "squared" footbed. The new Mushes are narrower, with a more contoured footbed. Look at and compare the photos of the undersides of these shoes for comparison: the Mush Print, the Mush Adapto, and the Mush II, versus last year''s Mush besides the difference in the sole, you can tell it''s the old model because most of the colors are sold out :(
If you own Mushes already, heed this caution: I purchased this year''s Mush and was dismayed to find that my usual size does not fit and I believe a larger size will not remedy this, as there is much more toe real estate than before and a larger size will probably increase this, leaving a lot of empty space at the top of the shoe, which looks bad.
If you are new to Mush, know that for me, they have historically been an extremely comfortable and durable shoe (I own over a dozen pairs). Try them out, if you have very narrow feet, this new model might allow you to enjoy my previous "fix".
UPDATE July 2011: After getting a tip from another reviewer, I called Teva about the new Mush style and was told that "a lot of people" had the same complaint and Spring 2012 will see the arrival of the "Original Mush". While I was on with them, I also requested new colors, including new sole colors. I have an old brown pair that are awesome and haven''t seen that since. So, if you have a wider foot, or just liked the old Mushes, be on the lookout in "March or April" 2012 for the return of the "Original Mush"!
UPDATE2 Sept 2011: I called Teva again today, and was told by a super-friendly operator, that the Original Mush will return in Nov 2011! That''s like 6-weeks away! Yay! I asked about new colors, etc. and she said new stuff usually comes out in the Spring, but to check the website, anyway. Woo-Hoo!
I rely on reviews here at Amazon to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner. If you voted this as helpful, I Thank You! :)
As far as flip-flops go, these are pretty darn good! They are cute, comfortable, and I like the arch support.If you''ve never bought Teva''s before, I think you''ll love these.However, this is not my first Teva purchase and I know they can do better. I have a pair of Teva Mush flips that are about 3 yrs old, and it seems that the "mush" was more "mushy" (in a good way) back then and the straps were thicker and softer. These newer ones seem to be a bit lacking in the Teva quality I''m used to.I bought these new ones to replace the older pair, but I keep going back to the old ones!

these are great slip-ons and the seem to last me a full year.wish I could get some cool colors in my size but they sell out tooooo fast for meI bought a pair of these flip flops a few years ago and finally wore them out. Living in the south, I wear open toed shoes and sandals most of the year. These are the most comfortable I''ve owned. The description of "mush" is quite accurate.
