I was very excited to buy the Mush Atoll Ankle Boots last time around (for $2 more) because I had heard such great things about them. Unfortunately, I jumped on the deal without doing another round of searches for reviews. When I did go looking, I found comments about the latest version being less comfortable, less durable, having a thinner sole and a seam across the instep that is bothersome. I can’t attest to durability, since they are put away for next winter, but the soles do seem surprisingly thin for a boot, and the seam does press on my instep. My only hope is that the seam will stretch with wear and not end up being unbearable.
My Mush Atoll Ankle Boots arrived last week and I’ve already worn them half a dozen times. They are seriously comfortable – like, bedroom slipper comfortable, even over a good-size bunion – and pretty much go with everything. Can’t speak to the durability or to how this iteration stacks up against previous versions, but for now I’m just happy I got them before my size sold out, and contemplating getting them in another color (or two).
Got the men’s Forge Pro last time they were up, and they aren’t super warm, I’ve been wearing them without trouble and I don’t like my feet to get too hot. But they are slim fitting. They are ok with athletic socks but I can’t wear hiking socks with them. I can live with that, and my feet are on the wide side. But I am happy with them, they seem to be made well. I ordered them because my wife was so happy with her Teva hikers I thought I would give them a shot. No regrets
I bought the Women’s Hiking Boots last time they were for sale, and have started breaking them in for my summer camp trip.
I have a high in-step, and am wide across the toes compared to my more narrow heel. These fit fairly well, though a bit tight in the toe-box (something I’m used to, considering the shape of my foot). The lace-up is good for someone with a high arch, and they’re not too snug.
I bought a size 8, where I usu wear a 7 1/2 so I could wear them with thick hiking socks. Fit is perhaps a bit snug right now with the socks, but will probably be perfect once they’re broken in, so I recommend a half-size to a size up from your regular shoes.
Tread seems excellent–can’t really try it out yet, as I live in Florida, so no mountains, but it seems to grip the pavement well, and the give in the base of the shoe is just enough that I suspect it will cling to the rocks with ease.
Have only tried the waterproofing in rain, but worked fine even without adding additional proofing, which I usu do with new hiking boots, just to be extra secure.
I got the Mush Atoll boot the last time they were up and they are awesome. Don’t think they’re some sort of winter boot, they are not. They’re a fashion boot and they’re very cute. I think they might run a little small. I usually wear a 7 or rarely 7 1/2 and an 8 fits perfectly. My foot is a little wide and the fit is fine that way, no issues with the instep either. The brown looks tan in the picture but it is a nice milk chocolate color. Get a pair!
Those boots are an awesome deal but I just can’t bring myself to order shoes online with no return policy. I called every Teva retailer in St. Louis to see if they had any I could try on and none of them carry these
I did notice that but would that cover a bad fit? When I think warranty I usually think of something that covers a manufacturer’s defect only. I so want them though!
Before I think too hard about pushing the button I want to clarify something. The description on Woot! Matches the description for the “Winter” version of this shoe on Teva’s website so I’d like to know if this is the Winter version or not. Also the color “drizzle” on Teva’s website does not match the color of the Woot! product. On Teva’s website it is gray and on Woot! it is greenish.

The color on the Woot site is pretty close to my pair. The Teva site is a far lighter color than mine. HTH
ETA: Can’t say about the “winter” aspect, but my feet were comfortable today and the day was a bit cool for Florida. I suspect they’ll be comfortable for me in the mountains, but someone who is already used to colder temps might find them a tad warm. Sorry I can’t be of more help in that area.
These are not winter boots. They are suede outside with just a fabric on the inside, no insulation. Super cute, but unless you live in a very mild climate, not winter boots.
Edited to say I’m talking about the Mush Atoll, don’t know about the others.

Yes, I’d like to know about bad fit. My wife and I bought a pair last time it was up and I tried them on and they run small and slim. I went 1/2 size up as recommended on some of the reviews and it’s fits like a glove if I were barefoot…no room on the sides or in the toe box. I sent woot an email about this to see if they can do anything about it and am waiting for cust serv to show up for work Monday.
I decided to take a chance and ordered a size up from normal. I figure that worst case if they end up still being a bit snug I will use them as slippers (However, real suede will stretch more easily than synthetic). In fact, these cost less than my last pair of slippers and they have real soles on them so I think it’s win-win either way.
I’ll second this. I recently received my Raith Storm boots, and I find them unwearable. Too narrow and no room in the toe box. If you must order a pair, I would recommend one size up.
