Won't make your arch falter
The way the Sanborn Mia props up the midfoot section of the foot is stellar, and many adventurers agree. "The sole is supportive but with some cushioning," says one of them. "These do the trick," says someone who has plantar fasciitis. Yet one more reviewer says, "If your feet hurt, you need these sandals."
Not for those with bulging heels
Many are drawn to the Teva Sanborn Mia for its customizable straps. "The most adjustable sandals that I have worn," a seasoned explorer among them says.
Strappy hiking sandals
With its grippy and stabilizing sole unit, the Sanborn Mia is a force to be reckoned with on shifting terrain. An experienced trail-goer says that it's "good for long walks, especially on uneven ground." Another one says about his Sanborn Mias, "They don’t slip while walking on uneven pasture."
Not for those with bulging heels
The padding of the Sanborn Mia's heel strap, while supple, is too thick for some. This results in their feet being forced to shift forward by several centimeters. A disgruntled hiker said, "It felt like my toes were constantly going to be hanging off the edge."
A fair-priced fashion item
Numerous female trail explorers deeply adore the stylishness of the inexpensive Teva Sanborn Mia. "Perfect for all my casual outings!" says one of them. "I love the updated style and the fun colors," says another.
Be modest with its straps
It's been reported that the underside of the Sanborn Mia's straps can feel slightly rough when tightened considerably. A non-professional tester said, "I did have some rubbing from the front strap the first time I wore them, but that was because I had that strap too tight."
