Teva Women''s Mush II Flip Flop

...cause I see no reason why they tried to fix it!

If you are familiar with the old Mush Tevas, and you are used to their sizing, be aware that the 2011 Mushes are 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: this 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! :)

How disappointing!! I guess some other company has been contracted to make these now!! They are made of a different material than the old Tevas, of a much cheaper quality I am sorry to report.Not what I expected from Teva!!!!The size is tremedously different.I have always worn an 8 in Teva women''s the 8''s I received were like a narrow 7 and 1/2.I am not sure I could wear an 8 and 1/2 because they are less wide now. I put the bottoms of my older tevas up to the new ones, I just knew they had sent the wrong size. NO!! Great if your feet are narrow I guess.I wear a B width.What a bummer!!!!

Buy Teva Women''s Mush II Flip Flop Now

I''ve been a huge fan of the Mush flip flops for years now.I ordered a pair of the Much II--and was shocked.They are smaller, in general, in comparison to the original mush--they are more narrow, and a little bit shorter in the length of the foot bed.If you have a wider foot or were on the "edge" of one size...order the next size up.Trust me.

I have worn MANY Teva Mush flip flops in the past. They are my absolute favorite. So, when they had the new Mush II out and I needed a new pair I figured I would go with the newest "model". What a horrible mistake! I have no idea what happened to my favorite flip flop! It is narrow, an entire size smaller than usual and not nearly as comfortable. Very disappointed in the new design. ugh. I miss my old Teva''s :(

Want Teva Women''s Mush II Flip Flop Discount?

I have worn the Teva Mush Flip flops since their introduction several years ago and always bought several pairs a summer.I was very disappointed to discover that this year Teva has cut down the sole of the shoe substantially and the flip flops are no longer comfortable, so I returned them and emailed Teva with my complaint.Teva claims they cut down the sole "to better fit a woman''s foot."I wear a medium in all women''s shoes and the original template was just fine.If this is a money saving move for Teva, it is a mistake.They have just lost one very loyal customer.
