Soft and squishy, this sandal is called "Mush" for a reason. The Teva Mush features a sturdy, three-point thong upper. It also has smooth, lightweight tubular webbing and a soft Mushâ„¢ EVA topsole with enhanced arch support.

Customer Rating: Summary: Very Comfortable!! Comment: My non-flip-flop wearing husband is a convert now after wearing these - I've just purchased his 3rd pair and it's about all he wears in summer when not working!! Customer Rating: Summary: Teva flipflops Comment: These are the primo flipflops of all time.
Just remember, tho, when you wear them for the first time you will create an impression in the soles that will last -- so don't wear them crooked! Customer Rating: Summary: These are pretty comfortable thongs Comment: I havent worn thongs in many years and when I did, they were cheaper ones.
These are more comfortable than the cheapies I wore many years ago.
I have been wearing plastic sandals which arent as cushy but dont have the thing go through my toes which is a little bit irritating...perhaps because I havent worn thongs in so many years. I like the way the sandals stay on my foot without the thong and I like the Mushs cushion.
I got them on closeout from REI. 2006 models. Only paid $10.93 including shipping. Being the tightwad I am, thats about the most I would pay for something like this without having worn them, And only because it had lots of good reviews.
If these last a few years and I look to replace them, I may pay a bit more depending on how long they last and so forth.
Customer Rating: Summary: Teva Men's Mush Flip Flops Comment: I've been a huge fan of Teva's flip flops for a long time. Comfortable from the first time on. True to size and durable. A must have for beach season.
Customer Rating: Summary: Durable and comfortable Comment: I've owned a pair of these Tevas now for just over five years. I've traveled with them all over the place. Even after five years, they're still holding together very well. The construction is top notch. The straps are securely attached to the sole of the sandal and there's no indication that they're going to come off or tear any time soon.
A couple of caveats:
- The foam rubber that they use on the soles feels nice and springy at first. But they eventually compress and lose some of their cushiness. That's probably going to happen with pretty much any sandal of this type, and not with a sandal that has a more rigid sole, e.g. Birkenstocks. Still, the sandals are still comfy enough, even after the soles have compressed.
- The foam rubber, while flexible and comfortable, can be penetrated by sharp objects - nails, glass fragments, larger splinters of wood, etc. On a couple of occassions, I've felt something poking me and have had to pull out something that pierced through the sole. But they do fine on most surfaces.
That said, I'd by another pair in a heartbeat. And I probably will. After five years, I think it's about time to retire these puppies. So kudos to Teva; they've won me over as a customer.
