Thinking of purchasing a pair of Tieks shoes but not sure if they’re worth the cost? This is my honest Tieks review after owning my first pair for three years and taking them around the world with me.

When I first came across Tieks by Gavrieli from one of the many Tieks reviews on the internet, I scoffed.
$200 for a pair of flats?! You’ve got to be kidding me.
I was 23, working as a bartender in New Zealand, and although they looked beautiful and versatile, I just couldn’t justify purchasing Tieks on a backpacker’s budget.
It took me four more years before I finally took the leap and purchased my first pair of shoes from Tieks.
If I’m being honest, I don’t think I had ever spent more than $30 on a pair of flats before I bought my Tieks.
I had also been a budget conscious traveler for a good six years and rarely purchased material things with hefty price tags because I always wanted that money to go towards my next trip.
So when I hit the purchase button on the Tieks website for the Pacific Green Tieks, my budgeting anxiety went through the roof.
