I ordered these for a trip to Brazil which will have a decent mix of hiking, backpacking and beach time. I thought Tevas would fit nicely and I'd never owned a pair. Unfortunately what arrived were gigantic! If you look at the picture, you'd think they were a whole size too large. I literally checked the tag to see if I'd made a mistake and bought UK 13's but nope, they're US 13's. About 90% of the shoes I own are size 13 and that other 10% are from companies that are infamous for smaller/larger shoes. That includes running/exercise shoes that really require proper fits. I'm mostly surprised because at the time of writing this, there's an 81% for 'as expected' fit from other reviewers. Maybe Teva just makes a big jump for their 13's. They have a larger base than some of the longer boots that I own.

I really do want to like them as they seem very well made structurally. The support is comfortable and the straps seem well made especially for the price. Maybe I'll have to try on some other pairs in store. I just don't have time before my trip to reorder in a different size. Plus there's no such thing as half sizes after size 12 for the majority of shoe companies.
