While the outsoles have different designs, both Tevas and Chacos provide strong traction, allowing you to walk across all types of terrain — smooth tile, rocky trails, slippery rocks, and more.

Do tevas have good grip?

The big thing you notice with Teva sandals is that they are a great day-to-day sandal. Easy to get on and off with the velcro straps. Lightweight compared to the Chaco, and still with quite a decent grip.

Can you wear Tevas to the beach?

You can wear Teva sandals in the water, the shower, and to do dishes. On land you get great traction and comfort from our original webbing; in the water, they slip on like a glove. Whether you’re lounging on the beach or splashing in the surf, your feet will feel right at home in this versatile sandal…

To break in your new Chaco sandals, wear them for a few hours a day over a one to two week time period. I know what you’re thinking – you don’t have that sort of time! So, you can speed up this process by wearing them all day for three to seven days time.
