Review of Teva Women's Mountain Scuff Suede Slip On

I just received my Teva Mountain Scuffs but unfortunately will have to return them. Let me say though that the shoe itself is very comfortable. It feels true to size and width, almost a bit on the large side, and it also has enough room for the toes to wiggle.

The reason I will have to return is that the back part of the shoe uncomfortably rubs against my Achilles tendon. I didn't expect this when I ordered these shoes because they have a very soft and stretchy fabric all around the upper edges (see picture). However, the hard leather part of the shoe heel is too high for my particular foot shape and with every step rubs against the tendon regardless of the fabric. So if you are like me and occasionally have trouble with shoes that are too high in the back, you might want to consider a different style.

Another point I noticed but which would not have caused me to return them in itself is that the insole is non-removable and does not provide sufficient arch support (I have had issues with plantar fasciitis and learned to look for that). I would have to use these with my custom orthotics.

I would love to keep this shoe because everything else is great but the rubbing against the tendon is not something I could live with.
